Awesome sand dunes!!

I loved this primitive camp site!! No internet, beautiful landscape, some trails to explore, fire rings, and plenty of space!! This place is definitely popular for OHVs and ATVs during the day, so be sure to avoid OHV and ATV trails. Definitely need 4WD to get through sand. We have a 4WD, but we were still worried about getting through much of the sandy trails that led to our campsite.
