We did a two day session with friends many years. It was a lot of fun.

My husband and I had a great time at Kevin's dirt bike camp this weekend. I second everything in Hal J's review. This is a great way for a total newbie (as I am) to get a feel for dirt biking before going out and fully investing in the sport. Kevin has a bunch of different bikes you can try, varying in size and power. He teaches you the fundamentals and then gives you free reign of the track, providing pointers as you go. We did the one day camp which was plenty for me, never having ridden before. Be prepared to be a little sore the next day if this is your first time. You work a lot of muscles you never knew you had. We stayed at Holiday Inn Express in Willows, about 20 min away, but you can also camp on Kevin's land. The gear is indeed not the cleanest, but I didn't really expect it to be, and figured I'd be getting dirty anyway. Not a big deal. If you go with an open mind, a true desire to learn, and are okay with "roughin it" a bit - out house, BYO food/drink, no shower (if camping), then you will enjoy yourself and make some good memories. Thanks for a great experience Kevin! read more

Did a daylong trip with Kevin and it was awesome. Cow mountain kicks ass. Kevin had 2 bikes a 08 ktm 400 and a 14 Husquarna 250 2-stroke beast. Was able to ride both and had a blast. Challenging trails too. Mathias read more

So here I am at Kevin Anderson's Dirt Bike Camp. I'm accompanied by my eleven year-old son, Dylan, and his twelve year-old friend, Brian. "Kids don't get hurt at Dirt Bike Camp," Kevin had told me over the phone. "If someone gets hurt, it's an older guy.", Oh. That "older guy" would be me. I'm in my mid-fifties. In fact, Kevin and I are very close in age, but there the similarity ends: Kevin is short, compact, and chisled. Me? Well, while I'm in decent shape, I'm a tall, big oaf; my son refers to me as "my dad, the athletic teddy bear." Also, Kevin has the damned gall to still have hair. Before leaving home, I'd posted on Facebook that I was about to head for the Dirt Bike Camp with two pre-teens, and that I'd be a dirt bike newbie who hadn't even mounted a street bike in two decades. One of my coworkers, bless his heart, posted this: "Be sure you have the Air Med helicopter folks programmed into your speed dial." *** Since 1975, I've flown helicopters for a living. I'm a company instructor for one of the largest helicopter companies on the planet, so I have a good idea as to what makes effective instruction. Sheesh, Kevin is one hell of a resource if you're wanting to learn to ride dirt bikes without busting your ass. He obviously understands the fundamentals of instruction down to his core, and I admired how adeptly he juggled the challenges of a mixed class of two pre-teens and one guy eligible for the Denny's senior discount. (Kevin had a full class on Sunday, so we grabbed his open Saturday, just the three of us.) I wavered between four and five stars for Dirt Bike Camp, because I don't like to hand out five-star reviews like candy. Indeed, you won't find a polished operation at Dirt Bike Camp, with a receptionist and a orientation video. You'll need to bring your own food, and while the riding jerseys and pants were clean, the boots were--oh my gawd--dusty. Later in the course, when you're given free time to ride around the course, Kevin will likely spend time watering the track while his assistant, Sawyer, keeps on eye on you. (I learned from Kevin that it takes a lot to keep the track in shape for riding.) I liked the rustic nature of Dirt Bike Camp, and so did the kids, but yep, your mileage may vary. Ultimately, though, I'm giving Dirt Bike Camp an enthusiastic five stars. With Dirt Bike Camp, you have the opportunity to learn a new skill at the hands of a man who's won many championships thoughout his competitive riding life, and yet you'll also find that Kevin is superb at conveying information on your level. If you're the kind of person who fixates on packaging or the lack thereof, it may not be your cup of tea. But, if what matters to you is the opportunity to learn from one hell of a talented teacher, Dirt Bike Camp is for you. My son and I had a blast. We'll be back. read more

I have been to Kevin's Dirtbike Camp twice now and I can't wait to go back! And for things being dirty there; its DIRTbike riding! You'r going to get dirty. Kevin was an amazing teacher. I started from ground zero and now have fallen in love with the sport of riding. He made me feel so relaxed and let me go at my own pace but still available for me to ask any stupid question I may of had. The track kept me guessing and let me grow little by little as a rider. I even jumped my second day there! Yup jumped! He gave me good advice and cheered me on as did other riders there. You are not only getting great knowledge from Kevin (an amazing rider and teacher) but all of the people that go to ride are just as helpful! Kevin has everything ready for you from a chest protector that are made for girls to my boyfriends size 14 boot! He has an amazing thing going there that lets his pass on his love for dirtbike riding on to others willing to learn. Go out there, have fun, and catch some mad air! Can't wait to go back! read more

I had my class near Omo Ranch. I did not expect to do the things we did that day, but I learned oh so much. I had a blast going up and down rock/boulder strewn trails, weaving through single tracks, etc. I'm hooked. Kevin is a great teacher and an all around great guy. You cannot go wrong. Skip the MSF Dirt Bike School and come here instead. read more

Best time ever! Kevin is into this heart and soul! I have been dirt riding since my pre teen years and even at that Kevin imparted much knowledge that vastly improved my skills! I had a few friends that went along with me that had only a few years riding time and are much improved since taking Kevins course! I highly recomend the course to riders of all abilities unless you are a full blown racer in the dirt! But hey even if you are it would be a great time I'm sure. 5*****s read more

Really great experience, very friendly and helpful staff. The track is very dynamic with endless course options, allows beginners to go their own pace and work their way up. Bring your own bike or rent there. Be prepared to be adventurous, learn, have fun, get air, and get dirty. If you are looking for granite counter tops and marble floors, maybe you should stick to golfing. read more

Minimal instruction, students ends up cooking lunch, riding gear and boots are kept unwashed and ripped inside of a smelly bag, and the track needs lots of work and constant watering. Class starts late and ends early. A waste of money, gas and time. read more

Without a dirt bike, gear, or knowledge Kevin Anderson will teach you how to ride a dirt bike properly in two days. All you have to do is show up, bring some snacks, water, open ears, and a good attitude. I am a street rider who wanted to learn dirt and have my GF learn to ride as well. In one weekend i was hooked on dirt and the GF now has her own 125 and is looking forward to Hollister Hills OHV soon. Kevin's Camp is rustic but has the amenities you need e.g. a porta-potty and a place to change into gear. His gear he lets you borrow is used but you aren't gonna find anyone else that has his own gear to lend you. He even washes the gear for you at night so you have clean stuff in the am! The dirt bikes are well sorted and will run all day with no sweat. If you learn enough he may let you ride his personal bike! The track is his personal track and is well taken care of. The track has jumps and bumps for all skill levels (wait 'till you see Kevin ride!) For the money we spent at Kevin's place the GF and I will get a life time of fun out of riding dirt bikes. We have been back twice and we are looking forward to many more tune up trips to the Dirt Bike Camp. read more
