2 weeks until Buggy Roundup weekend! I'm asking for a little help this year with a couple of things. 1) We're looking for some new items to raffle off so if you have some ideas or anything you'd like to donate, drop a suggestion below or contact me via DM or email pete@dumontduneriders.com. You can also just bring donated items out that weekend if you're coming out. 2) If you're a good leader in the dunes and don't mind leading some rides, please let me know so we can set that up throughout the weekend in addition to the normal dune runs. 3) Don't forget to bring a little something to add to sandcars and coffee. 🍩🥐 Looking forward to seeing everyone. Please RSVP if you haven't yet. ✌️

Well I finally made it back out to the sandbox after a long summer. This is probably the first time in 15 years that I have not made it out in October but it was so damn hot I'm glad we waited. Not only that I've had a bunch of other trips and things going on. We had some great weather except for some wind on Saturday. We had a handful of problems with many of the buggies in our group but we got through them all and got a bunch of great dune rides in. I even ran into the guy who bought my Tech 3 and he ended up running with us for the rest of the weekend. That was pretty cool. Lots of laughs and good times. I can't wait to get back out there in 3 weeks for Buggy Roundup. 🤟

No, that's the license plate of your truck or RV. You need ohv registration or a non-resident stick for your rail.

Yep, it's been about 10 years since I've been out on a holiday weekend and actually enjoy it. 2009 (and before) was the sh*t out there on a holiday. Now I avoid it like hell.

Join the Friends of Dumont Dunes in honoring our great Dumont Dunes Veterans! 4th Annual Dumont Dunes Veterans Day Flag Parade Cruise and Gathering 🇺🇲 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Everyone will line up on the west side of the Vendors Row starting at 9:30 AM. Decorate your vehicles in American flags or red, white and blue. Wear your red, white and blue, show how proud you are for our Veterans. Kiddos are welcome to join the parade on their quads, dirt bikes and mini sxs's 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 At 10:00 AM, they will play the national anthem 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 and when that is complete, whoever the Star Spangled Banner playing leader is, will then start the parade cruise around the front of the Vendors Row since they can no longer drive down Vendors and they will cruise the route through the camp area and over the one dune to the flats over by Veterans Hill. (The speed will be based on the youngest rider) There they will begin to gather everyone. The agenda: • Take down the flag, if it is not acceptable and raise a new flag to replace it. • Have the Veterans in attendance join in front of the group. • Hand out any little flags to the kiddos • Moment of silence • Pledge of allegiance • Present Veterans with a token of our appreciation. • Ask the Veterans if they are comfortable talking about their service, even if it's just a few words to say their branch and years or any stories/experiences they wish to share. • Patriotic music mix while we visit and hang out. Join the conversation on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/rNFMKJ4siZBntWSB/

First I've heard of it but it kinda makes sense.

In case you haven't heard yet, season and weekly passes have not been sent out to vendors yet. We will update the passes page as soon as the vendors receive the passes. BLM is running late this year. In the meantime you can purchase your pass online at https://www.recreation.gov/activitypass/e210305d-b769-11eb-87ed-16dbf55c498d

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! It is a week-long dune trip for some groups when friends and families gather at the dunes to prepare their annual feasts. If you are wondering how busy it gets, Thanksgiving does draw quite a crowd, but it's not quite as crazy as Halloween. Catch the waterpumpers in action as the Dune Masters and Sand Pipers clubs compete in their 54th annual hill climbs. Their drag races will not take place this year. Friday: Hill Climbs on the steep, left side of Comp Hill starting at 10:00 AM And don't forget, Santa will be at the North Pole on that Saturday 11/30 from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM hard stop. Details to come. Stay up to date on the Dumont Dunes Santa Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/144674787256195/?mibextid=oMANbw

Our 12th Annual Buggy Roundup is December 12-15, 2024. Have you got a buggy? Come out and join us to camp, hang, and run the dunes together. This is not a big party weekend. It's actually pretty chill. But if you love buggies and want to get together with the rest of the buggies of Dumont, this is the weekend for that. Everyone is always super cool and respectful. If they aren't, they'll be asked to leave and won't be invited back. We hope to see all the regulars plus some new faces this year! "Schedule" Thursday: Get there early, meet the early arrivals, and go make some tracks in the sand Friday: Run the dunes and burn some fuel! Saturday: Sandcars & Coffee 8AM-9:30- Park your buggy in the center of camp. (Many guys do it the night before). Grab a coffee, wake up, mingle with other buggy people. 10AM group ride: We will do a group ride with ALL the buggies ending someplace like North Pole, Comp or whatever feels right. Grab yourself some lunch. 1PM We will raffle off some prizes The rest of the day will be more duning finishing the last ride on Sunset Hill. Saturday Night: group bonfire, possibly dune videos on the big screen Sunday: Pick the sand out of your ears, go for another morning dune run, and then pack it up when you feel like it (or stay another day to enjoy Dumont some more) LOG IN & RSVP on the EVENT PAGE link below (If you have trouble logging in or can't figure it out, it's cool. Just show up. You can also message me, @dunefreak or DM Dumont Dune Riders on FB or IG) FORUM DISCUSSION

Halloween used to be my favorite weekend. I choose to skip it now. It's no longer my crowd out there. It's changed alot. I suggest going on an off weekend. That's what I do.
-
I was kidding about not needing one. I was mostly referring to the incorrect dates. 😄 Apparently the vendors in town don't even have the season passes yet. You can buy your (weekly or annual) pass online or at the kiosk (weekly only). I also just got word that Roadrunner Powersports on vendor row will have passes available as well.
-
You'll be fine. They don't even check passes anymore. 😂 At least the last two seasons they haven't. The first year they started selling them online the date was off on mine by one year. My pass didn't get checked once that season.

There's a decent amount of camping space/ area. It's accessed from highway 127. The dunes are little of course, but a fun little area. Mostly "finger dunes". There's the salt creek mines too. I put a bunch of info on those on the landmarks page. A section of little Dumont got washed away last year but it didn't affect much of the sand. They just plowed the entrance but it's pretty soft still unless they did something about it since Oct 15th.

Just show up. You can also message me, @dunefreak or DM Dumont Dune Riders on FB or IG) Buggy Roundup/ Camp Rules Those who wish to camp with the group for Buggy Roundup must agree to our rules. 1) Don't be a d*ck! We've never had an issue with anyone at Buggy Roundup, but we will not tolerate any BS. We are there to have a fun weekend of duning and hanging out with each other. You will be asked to leave camp if you cause problems. 2) Absolutely no loud music. We all love to have a good time and party, but please be respectful of others in camp. We cram alot of RVs into one place and all have different tastes in music. 3) Unsafe driving or behavior will not be tolerated. This includes no passing on group rides unless you can do it extremely safe while giving that person plenty of room (ie: cut an entire dune to do it. Don't catch them by surprise.) 4) No side x sides, bikes, quads, or ATCs in the group photos or Sandcars and Coffee. We get asked this every year so I feel I need to say it. If you have a side x side or any other dune toy besides a sandrail, you are not UNinvited. If you love buggies, you can absolutely come out and camp with us. Please just understand and respect that this is an annual event for buggies. You are welcome to join in on the rides, but please let the buggies get in line first. Other machines don't mix well with buggies on dune runs.

Halloween weekend kicks off the upcoming dune season at Dumont Dunes! Although Halloween is Thursday the 31st, Halloween weekend at Dumont will be celebrated the weekend before on Oct 25-27th. Saturday Oct 26th, is the night you'll find trick-or-treaters going camp to camp and duners in costume over at Comp Hill having a good time. In addition, Friends of Dumont Dunes has announced a trunk or treat from 4:00-6:00PM on Saturday just west of Vendor Row. Halloween weekend always brings out thousands of excited duners which means we always have to take a little extra caution. Keep your head on a swivel but most importantly slow down around camps and other duners. Holiday weekends can be a little crazy and chaotic, but also safe and fun at the same time.

Thanks for sharing, Nick! Great to finally camp and dune together. Super fun weekend even with the crap weather! lol

Hey guys (whoever is even reading this lol), our plans to feed everyone on Saturday fell through so you are on your own for lunch. Sorry! but we'll still be doing the raffle around 12:30/1pm. The rest of the weekend's format remains the same. Details on the news post.
