🛻 Vehicle Use & Travel

Know where you can explore, which roads are permitted, and how to adventure responsibly.

The Ranger Raptor is adventure-ready, but GoKamp rentals are limited to paved roads and permitted, maintained dirt and gravel roads. Technical four-wheel-drive trails, rock crawling, and other prohibited off-road activities are not allowed.

Southern Utah is our home base, and you’re welcome to explore approved destinations in Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. Travel must follow the geographic restrictions and permitted-road requirements in your rental agreement. Please note at this time we do not offer one-way rental options.

The GoKamp Ford Ranger Raptor is a four-door pickup with seating for up to five people. There’s room in the cab for passengers and personal belongings, while the truck bed carries much of the camping equipment.

For the most comfortable adventure, we recommend packing in soft-sided bags rather than large suitcases. Keep in mind that the rooftop tent is designed for two adults, so larger groups will need additional sleeping arrangements.

🏕️ Camping Equipment

Your GoKamp adventure comes with more than just a Ranger Raptor! We’ve included the camping essentials so you can spend less time packing and more time exploring Southern Utah.

Here’s what’s included:

  • Sleeping: Rooftop tent, fitted sheet, comforter, and pillows (one per person).

A little Southern Utah dust is part of the adventure!

We don’t expect the truck to come back spotless, but we do ask that you remove your trash, personal belongings, and any excessive dirt or debris.

Excessive mud, stains, or unusually dirty conditions may result in additional cleaning fees.
