Moses Lake Mud Flats and Sand Dunes

More of a recreation area

We came here on a Sunday in July, expecting folks would be on their way by late evening so we could get some sleep. This spot is big for off-roading, which was anticipated, but what we didn’t anticipate was folks blasting music and flashing lights in their atv’s until 1am, making loops all the way down the dunes and onto sites where folks were pitching tents. Also not the best place if you have a larger rig or don’t have 4WD, but if you’re up for it you can scout ahead on foot to see where the sand is firm enough to drive off road. Bathrooms were in rough shape, and you can’t lock the door. A fine place to build a fire and do some primitive campfire cooking in a self-made rock ring if you’re in a pinch, but really weird energy here. (Maybe this is a reach, too, but as two queer people who have been camping across the country at dispersed sites, this was the ONLY one where we did not feel safe.)
