Sand Mountain
Reviewed Jul. 22, 2017

Noisy but beautiful

Sand Mountain is an awesome experience... however- this is not a quiet and peaceful desert camping trip. 90% of the folks visiting Sand Mountain are OHVs... all of whom like to drive their buggies up and down the dunes ALL night.

We hiked the dunes in the evening when it was cooler, and had to make sure we flashed our headlights so that buggy drivers could see us. DO NOT HIKE without a light. It would be very dangerous.

The campsites are scattered, don't drive too far off into the sand or you will get stuck. Stay close to the main road/compacted areas. The sand is decently flat to set up a tent. No hookups.

Free entrance on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Fees apply at all other times.
