Campsite: Sand Springs Overnight Campground

I have been coming to Sand Mountain and Little Sahara for over 30 years since I was a kid. Sand Mountain is where you prove your machine being king of the hill! Climbing this 700+ foot dune is best done with a turboed machine or high bore atv or motorcycle. Paddle wheels are optional but will give you the advantage over dirt tires.

If you want to avoid the crowds, come during the week or at least skip event weekends with sponsored racing or other organizations. Easter Weekend in particular tends to be extremely busy. Camping is open all year but flushing toilets and potable water are shut off during winter. Vault toilets are open year round. Food and merchandise vendors are often here on weekends with sponsored events or during peak spring and fall seasons.

Sand Mountain Campground lacks for trees or shade and can be pretty exposed to blowing sand and wind. Tent camping is therfore not recommend, besides the noise level of machines riding can go past midnight. Best to consider white sands or Oasis campground if you intend to tent camp and avoid the hum of generators and utvs/atvs.

Summer is usually the least bearable time to visit the dunes do to the inescapable heat and beating sun. Side by sides tend to run hot in the cab as is so best to avoid visiting during summer unless cooler weather is forecasted. Check weather for Delta, Utah ahead of your trip to get best idea of dune weather.
