Durhamtown Off-Road Resort covers more than 5,000 acres of red-clay piedmont between Union Point and Greensboro in Greene County, Georgia, roughly midway on the Interstate 20 corridor from Atlanta to Augusta. The privately owned park, formerly Durhamtown Plantation, runs over 150 miles of one-way trail plus about 16 groomed tracks, which makes it one of the largest commercial OHV operations in the country.

The property carries dirt bikes, ATVs, and side-by-sides across woods singletrack, hill climbs, and swamp loops, while full-size 4x4 trucks, Jeeps, and rock crawlers work a manmade mud pit and obstacle areas. Riding passes sell by vehicle type at the lodge, and on-site cabins, RV hookups, and camping let riders stay through a weekend. It operates year round rather than by a fixed riding season.

Hazards

Read before you go

Red-clay trails and hill climbs get slippery when wet, and the swamp loops and mud pit hold standing water and deep ruts. Summers are hot and humid, with biting insects near the wetlands. The property mixes fast MX riders with full-size 4x4s in the mud areas, so watch closing speeds at trail crossings. Ride within posted areas, since the woods network is easy to get turned around in without a map. Confirm which sections are open, because race events close individual tracks.

Getting there

Directions

The resort is at 2350 Randolph Church Road, Union Point, GA 30669, in Greene County. From Interstate 20, take the Union Point or Greensboro exits and head north on local roads to Randolph Church Road; the entrance and lodge sit along the road. The site is roughly 90 minutes east of Atlanta and about an hour west of Augusta. Sign in at the lodge before riding.

Field notes

Getting Oriented

Durhamtown sits on Randolph Church Road in rural Greene County, about ten minutes north of Union Point and Interstate 20. It has operated under private ownership since the Durhamtown Plantation days and now spans more than 5,000 acres, with some third-party listings citing up to 6,000. This is a pay-to-ride park, not public land: riders buy a pass, sign in at the lodge, and stay within the property. The lodge, pro shop, service bays, and rental counter cluster near the entrance, with trails and tracks fanning out across the woods behind them.

Trail Overview

The network runs over 150 miles of one-way woods trail, including roughly 35 miles of tight singletrack for dirt bikes. Difficulty climbs in tiers: hard-packed beginner routes, intermediate trails with berms and small jumps, and expert sections with hill climbs and technical woods. Alongside the trails sit about 16 tracks, from the STACYC and PeeWee MX learner ovals to MX 1 through MX 6, the Pro MX layout known as the Bomber, a GP track, a turbo track, a straight-rhythm section, and a drag strip. Four-wheel-drive trucks, Jeeps, and rock crawlers work the mud pit and obstacle areas rather than sharing the bike singletrack.

Points of Interest

  • The Bomber, the Pro MX track built for advanced motocross riders.
  • Swamp Loop and the manmade mud pit for ATV, side-by-side, and 4x4 mud running.
  • Roughly 35 miles of dirt-bike singletrack threaded through piedmont hardwoods.
  • Learner and STACYC tracks for first-time and youth riders.
  • Drag strip and straight-rhythm section for straight-line and jump practice.

Where to Camp

Lodging sits on the property. Cabins range from bare bunk units around $40 a night to larger houses that sleep six to eight, up to about $300. Two RV areas, Durhamtown RV Park and Little River RV Park, offer 30-amp sites at $50, 50-amp at $70, and concrete pads at $100, all with full hookups. Tent and primitive camping is available as well. None of the cabins or campsites include a ride pass; riders buy that separately. RV check-in is 3 p.m., check-out 11 a.m., with quiet hours at 10 p.m.

Permits and Regulations

Every rider needs a pass, priced by machine. Recent rates run $40 a day for dirt bikes and ATVs (men 16 and up), $30 for women and youth 9 to 15, $60 a day for side-by-sides over 200cc, $40 for smaller side-by-sides, and $15 for passengers and spectators. Children 8 and under ride free with a paying adult. Passes sell at the lodge; confirm current pricing and any helmet or age rules when signing in. Trail hours run 9 to 4:30, track hours 9 to 5, and the lodge stays open 8 to 6.

Tips for a Safe and Enjoyable Trip

  • Georgia red clay turns slick after rain, and hill climbs and off-camber woods lines get greasy fast.
  • Summer brings heat and humidity; carry water and expect biting insects near the swamp loops.
  • Pack recovery gear for the mud pit if you run a 4x4 or side-by-side.
  • Book cabins or RV sites ahead on race and event weekends, when the park fills.
  • Call ahead at 706-486-0091 to confirm hours, pass prices, and which tracks are open.

Fuel and Water

Fuel up in Union Point or Greensboro off Interstate 20 before heading in; the resort sits on rural Randolph Church Road with no gas at the gate. The on-site pro shop stocks parts, apparel, and basic supplies, and there is a restaurant and a wash rack on the property. Bring drinking water for the trail and pack extra fuel for a full day of riding.

Nearby

Union Point and Greensboro cover groceries, fuel, and lodging off Interstate 20. Lake Oconee, a large reservoir with boating and state-park camping, sits a short drive south near Greensboro. Riders who want national-forest OHV terrain instead of a private park can look to Beasley Knob OHV Area in the Chattahoochee National Forest, a very different mountain setting several hours north.
