Toledo Jeep Fest Base Camp

Metroparks is pleased to once again partner with Toledo Jeep Fest to open a pop-up Jeep Overlanding site at Middlegrounds Metropark called Toledo Jeep Fest Base Camp.

Middlegrounds will once again host Jeep Overlanders during Toledo Jeep Fest Weekend on Friday, August 2, 2024 through Sunday, August 4, 2024 offering an overnight opportunity at the park, conveniently located less than a mile from the Toledo Jeep Fest event footprint and more than 50 downtown restaurants and attractions.

Toledo Jeep Fest Base Camp is a nod toward the future when Metroparks makes camping a permanent part of downtown with the completion of Glass City Metropark campground.
