A True Highlife Moto Celebration
Forget everything you think you know about the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and start from ZERO. CAMP ZERO is the launch site for raising hell and rallying like the old days—a place where you can party like 1981 animals who love rad bikes and wild parties.
This is where the rally’s soul still lives. No VIP wristbands. No velvet ropes. Just tents in the dirt and a crowd that values grit over gloss.
Camp Zero is freedom in its rawest form. And yeah, it gets weird. You’ll find burnout pits at breakfast, minibike races by lunch and someone trying to jump a picnic table before the sun sets. You’ll also find the wildest events, the loosest rules and the kind of people who’d rather ride something they built in their garage than pose next to something they financed.
It’s part campground, part battleground, part rolling freak show. And every night feels like it might be the best one of your life…or at least the most questionable.
So bring your chop, your crew, and whatever you’ve got left in the tank.
Because this is where the party launches.
This is Camp Zero.
If you’re down with a little dirt and debauchery, you’re invited.

Grab a Buffalo Chip wristband and show up ready to rage. With friends, an on-site bar, a handful of community Coleman mini bikes (aka Smile Makers), and free showers, you’ll have everything you need to party, rinse and repeat.
Wanna watch a race? Better pair up some friends. Feel like grabbing a beer at the 85-year old barn? OK.

WANNA STAY AT CAMP ZERO? HERE’S THE DEAL…
There’s plenty of space if you want to crash in a tent, van or camper. If you don’t have room on the back of the bike for a tent, you can sleep in the dirt like an animal OR rent an authentic, no-frills tipi. They have room for you and up to five of your friends, or more if you don’t care how many pile up on your floor.

You’ll just need to grab an admission pass to stay on site. (BTW, this pass gets you all the concerts, too.)
There’s no secret portal. No shady backdoor.
You just buy a regular Buffalo Chip pass. That’s it.
Same pass. Same system. Same wild ride.
People ask us all the time, “How do I get into Camp Zero?”
Easy. You get a Chip pass like everyone else.
You wanna camp with the chaos gremlins? One pass gets you the concerts, the madness, the freedom… and yes, Camp Zero.
So stop overthinking it.
Buy your damn pass. Pack your weirdest gear. We’ll see you in the dirt.
Reinvent your rally at this true high-life moto-celebration by reserving your spot at Sturgis Buffalo Chip’s CAMP ZERO. Any Buffalo Chip Pass will get you there.
