This year Halloween is on a Friday night! Therefore Halloween weekend will be Oct 31-Nov 2nd. Lots of people pre-plan their work days off super early so hopefully this helps! We'll have to wait and see, but trick or treating and Halloween festivities will likely still be Saturday night but we'll see if the community makes their plans for Friday. 
 

Thanksgiving Weekend falls on November 27–30, 2025, and it’s one of the more popular trips of the year.
 
If history holds, we can also expect to see the Dune Masters and Sand Pipers out there hosting their annual hill climbs, and possibly some drag action as well. Stay tuned for confirmation as the weekend gets closer.

Dates: December 11–14, 2025
Location: Dumont Dunes
What is it? Group dune trip for buggy people (not an official or organized event)
The Buggy Roundup is a long-standing Dumont tradition — a gathering of sandcar enthusiasts who come together once a year to enjoy the dunes, camp as a group, and have a great time. There are no sponsors, no fees, and no competition — just pure dune fun.
🏕️ Camp Setup
We’ll set up camp in the usual buggy camp area (across from bathroom 10 in the main camping area).
Everyone is welcome to join the group camp, but there’s plenty of space if you prefer to camp nearby.
Please park smart and help keep camp organized — large circle style if possible.
 

 
🕶️ What to Expect
Group dune runs throughout the weekend
Big campfires each night
Plenty of downtime to hang out, talk cars, and meet new people
A chance to see some of the coolest sandcars around
 
  
 
⚙️ Basic Rules & Etiquette
To keep the Roundup fun and safe for everyone:
1) Don’t Be a D*ck
We’ve never had any issues at Buggy Roundup — let’s keep it that way. This weekend is about good vibes, fun dune runs, and hanging out with great people. No drama, no attitude. If you cause problems or bring negative energy to camp, you’ll be asked to leave. Simple as that.
2) Keep the Music Down
We all enjoy a good party, but please be respectful of everyone in camp. With so many RVs packed close together and all kinds of musical tastes, loud music isn’t cool. Bring your tunes, just keep the volume to your own camp area so everyone can enjoy their weekend.
3) Drive Safe — No Reckless Behavior
Safety comes first. That means no unsafe driving or stunts near camp and no aggressive passing on group rides. If you need to pass someone, only do it when it’s 100% safe — like cutting an entire dune with plenty of space. Never surprise the person in front of you. We’re here to have fun and keep it safe.
4) Buggies Only for Group Photos & Sandcars & Coffee
This trip celebrates sandcars and buggies, so please keep side x sides, quads, bikes, and ATCs out of the group photos and Sandcars & Coffee lineup. That said — if you love buggies, you’re welcome to camp and hang with us! Just respect that this weekend is for sandcars. You’re free to join group rides, but let the buggies line up first. Different types of machines don’t mix well on the same dune runs.
 
 
 
 
RSVP
No need. Just show up.  You can RSVP on here or message just me, @dunefreak, or DM Dumont Dune Riders on FB or IG to let me know you're coming but it's not necessary. 
 
This weekend is all about good vibes, great people, and fast lines (when conditions allow lol).
Let’s keep the tradition alive and make Buggy Roundup 13 another legendary weekend at Dumont!
