Club Overview

Location: Salem, Oregon
Founded: August 2009
Structure: Facebook Group + salemjeepers.com community

Membership and Participation

Open to Jeep owners in the Salem region. Members connect through Facebook and salemjeepers.com forums to plan runs and discuss all things Jeep. Monthly meetups are held the first Thursday of each month at a local Jeep dealership.

Activities and Events

Trail rides, off-road exploring, and camping trips are the bread and butter year-round. Salem Jeepers also hosts Salem Jeep Fest annually — a free public event at the Oregon State Fair Grounds featuring a Jeep show and shine, DJ, food, tire obstacle course, cornhole tournament, vendor booths, raffles, and a bouncy house for kids.

Community Culture

A family-oriented, Jeep-only group with a welcoming attitude toward all skill levels. The club emphasizes real-world use of Jeeps — off the pavement and into Oregon’s backcountry — while keeping things fun and accessible for the whole family.

Salem Jeepers is the kind of club that makes sure there’s always something going on, whether you’re on the trail or just showing up for monthly meetups.
