Little Sahara Recreation Area (LSRA) is 60,000 acres of sagebrush flats, juniper-covered hills, and free moving sand dunes located in Juab County, Utah. Less than a two-hour drive from Salt Lake City, LSRA provides an experience unlike any other for OHV fun and camping. Visitors frequent the recreation area for the challenges of climbing the 700-foot tall Sand Mountain, network of dirt trails around Black Mountain, low-lying dunes for beginners, and the White Sand Dune bowls.
Visitors to LSRA also enjoy hiking in the 6,000-acre Rockwell Outstanding Natural Area, fat-biking on the dunes, sandboarding/skiing down Sand Mountain, and wildlife viewing. Two children sand play areas are available in White Sands Campground and the Jericho Picnic Area. Motorized vehicles are not permitted inside the play areas.
The recreation area offers 255 improved campsites with access to 40 toilets, two sources for potable water, and 16 miles of paved roads. The campsites are located within four campgrounds: White Sands, Oasis, Jericho, and Sand Mountain. Dispersed camping is available outside of designated campgrounds. In addition to a Visitor's Center and campground amenities, LSRA has a fire station, engine bay/shop, and a bunkhouse for wildfire personnel.
LSRA records more than 20,000 visitors on the busy weekends of Easter, Memorial Day, and Labor Day, and 300,000 visitors annually. All fees collected are used to keep the site clean and open to the public.
Great place. Bathrooms clean and campsites well maintained
Nice paved rv pads for most of the Area, pull through and back in spots. Water scattered around the camp. The only thing I don't like is quiet hours after 10pm. But if you like quiet then you're golden here. You're also halfway to Sand Mountain if you camp here.
Had a fun time nobody was there which was crazy, had a asphalt parking spot a grill and a picnic table to that was nice
Always have a great time at the sand dunes. The weather made it pretty dusty this trip getting out to the sand dunes but all in all no injuries and a great weekend. Highly recommend coming out if you've never been
