Redneck Mud Park (RYC): Florida’s Legend of Deep Holes and Wide-Open Throttles for Mud Trucks, ATVs, SxS, and OHVs

The First Run

The Dirt: Why We Rip Here

• You’ll find mud that earns its reputation, with long stretches of “peanut butter” consistency and water crossings that swallow machines not built for depth. The terrain stays saturated year‑round, so even dry spells don’t tame it.
• Everyone’s got their favorite mud hole here. There are three big ones, and each has its own attitude. Some are slow and sticky, others are wide open and reward anyone brave enough to keep the throttle pinned. If you’re feeling fast, the 500-foot oval mud track is where the real racing happens and the crowds never look away.
• You’d think all those big tires would tear things up, but the park keeps things moving. Deep ruts show up quick, but if you know how to pick a line, you’ll keep rolling right through.
• Night riding here is a whole different world. When the sun goes down during big events, neon whips and LED rigs light up the swamp. The mud even glows, and it feels like you’re riding through a rolling light show.
• Riders talk about the King of the Deep weekends, when mega trucks, swamp buggies, and SxS crews pack the property for competitions, bounty holes, and long nights around the camps.

Basecamp: Facilities & Camping

• Primitive camping sits across the open fields and wooded edges, giving riders plenty of room to spread out during four‑day events. The ground stays firm enough for trailers, but generators are essential since hookups aren’t available.
• If you’re rolling in with an RV, the VIP sites are where you want to be. They’ve got shell pads to keep things steady, and after a day in the mud, you’ll be glad for a cleaner spot to crash. Just don’t wait too long—these spots go quick.
• The staging area never really slows down. Trailers line the fields, and you’ll see machines rolling through the wash station all day before heading back to camp.
• Showers and bathrooms stay functional and widespread, with hot and cold shower options and more than 140 porta‑potties placed throughout the property to handle event‑level crowds.
• Once it gets dark, the park takes on a new vibe. ATVs and SxS can keep running as long as they’re lit up, but the big trucks park it from 7 at night until 7 in the morning. That way, the smaller rides get the trails to themselves.
• When the big events roll around, you won’t go hungry. Food stands pop up with everything you need, so you can grab a bite and get right back to the mud.

The Damage

• Pricing shifts on event weekends, with online tickets for King of the Deep running $95 for ages 16+ and $65 for ages 11–15 from February 1 through March 17. These passes cover all four days, camping, and toy fees.
• Rates change once the gate opens, moving to $110 for ages 16+ and $80 for ages 11–15, plus a $10 toy fee for anything trailered in. Gate sales begin at 10 a.m. on the event's Thursday.
• Fees vary by age, with kids 10 and under free, making the park accessible to families attending the big weekends.
• Bring cash—cards won’t do you any good at the gate. Plan ahead so you’re not stuck scrambling when you roll in.

Trail Rules & Safety

• Helmets are mandatory for riders 15 and under, and most families keep younger riders geared up due to the depth and unpredictability of the mud.
• Flags aren’t optional for ATVs and SxS, with an 8‑foot minimum height to keep visibility high during crowded event weekends.
• Machine restrictions stay firm, with no three‑wheelers, dirt bikes, or sport quads allowed due to the mud depth and traction demands.
• Alcohol stays in camp, keeping the riding zones focused on safety while still allowing adults to unwind after the machines are parked.
• Glass never enters the property, protecting campsites, staging areas, and the mud pits from breakage hazards.
• Pets are not allowed, simplifying crowd management and reducing risks around heavy equipment and deep mud.
