Carnegie SVRA

Carnegie SVRA in Tracy, California is a 1,500-acre State Vehicular Recreation Area between Tracy and Livermore, the closest serious off-road riding to the Bay Area and one of the more amenity-rich state OHV facilities in the California system. The property combines rolling hills, rocky washes, and 80 miles of trails with a four-track motocross setup, giving Bay Area riders both legal trail riding and dedicated motocross access on a single permit.

The four tracks are split between disciplines and skill levels. The main Motocross track serves the full rider population. The ATV / MC track gives four-wheelers and bikes a dedicated space for shared riding without competing for line choice with the main MX crowd. The 70cc kids' track gives the youngest riders an appropriate-sized layout. The 110cc beginner track serves entry-level riders transitioning up from kid bikes. The four-track structure means households with multiple riders at different skill levels can practice the property simultaneously.

The 80-mile trail network is the property's other major draw. The Carnegie hill country combines rolling open grade with rocky washes and the kind of natural-grade terrain that flat OHV properties cannot match. Hillclimbs across the property give serious hill-climb riders dedicated obstacles, and the trail system extends across the bulk of the 1,500-acre footprint.

The amenity stack is what sets Carnegie apart from most California state OHV facilities. A camp store on the property handles supply needs without forcing trips into Tracy or Livermore. Flush toilets and coin showers make multi-day camping stays comfortable. A dump station handles RV waste, which is rare for an OHV property at this scale. The combination puts Carnegie in the top tier of California state OHV facilities for family-camping infrastructure.

Pricing is rider-friendly at $5 day-use and $10 camping per vehicle per night. Every rider needs a current California OHV Green Sticker registration, which applies across the entire California state OHV system.

The Tracy location puts Carnegie on the eastern slope of the Diablo Range, about an hour east of the East Bay, 90 minutes east of San Francisco, and an hour west of Stockton. Sacramento riders make the trip in roughly an hour and a half. The Bay Area position pulls riders from across the entire region and is the main reason Carnegie holds its top-tier ranking among California state OHV facilities.

For anyone searching for motocross tracks near the Bay Area, OHV riding in Northern California, or a family-camping-friendly state OHV facility in California's Diablo Range, Carnegie SVRA is the answer with the strongest amenity infrastructure in the regional state OHV system.
