Summary
No reservations are needed—camping is first-come, first-served, but a permit (fee-based) is required. Amenities include vault toilets, RV access (no hookups), picnic tables, and fire rings; however, there’s no water available, so come prepared. Set in a striking desert landscape with iconic sand dunes, it’s ideal for OHV riders and photographers. Trails and riding areas are nearby, including the popular Glamis Dunes. Best visited from October to April for cooler temps and active dune riding. Expect a social, energetic atmosphere during peak weekends.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
