DUMONT DUNES OHV AREA
BLM Barstow Field Office
(760) 252-6000
Near Baker
DIRECTIONS: The riding area is south of
the Armargosa River and east of State Highway 127, about 31 miles
north of Baker, California. There are two ways of getting to the
dunes. The Little Dunes staging and camping area is directly off
Highway 127, conveniently located for immediate staging. One mile
north of here, just off Highway 127, is Dumont Road, a dirt road
which follows and crosses the river, leading to the main field
of large dunes.
GENERAL INFO: Most visitors ride motorcycles, ATVs, sand rails
or tour the area in 4WD vehicles. Camping is permitted anywhere
within the riding area as long as it does not block travel on
a road. The elevation varies from 700 feet at the river, to 1200
feet at the top of Competition Hill.
SEASONS: The low elevation in the area makes for warm to extremely
hot conditions in spring and summer.
REQUIREMENTS: All vehicles must have a muffler or U.S. Forest
Service approved spark arrester and must be registered. All OHVs
must have a mast and flag for visibility in the dunes. Vehicles
operated at night must use both headlights and taillights.
