HappyHour Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 The camping area is large and flat. Once you get past the little creek and up onto the what we call the flats, then it is pick a spot that is open. There are some soft areas that you need to be careful off, but for the most part it's not that bad. Remember, the closer you get to the dunes, the softer it gets. A small bit of advice though, try not to stop until you've found your spot to camp, and when you make turns, make them wide. Ultimately, no matter how much advice you get from the good peeps of DDR, you never truely know until you get there. But believe me, it will be a good time!!!! Your truck should do just fine. Quote

dune_rat Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Hey about the gas prices in baker Just take what you normally pay and add a couple dollars. We try and bring most of what we need with us from Vegas and only use Baker in an emergncy or to just get enough to make it somewhere else. Old skool rails rock Quote
aseman Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Yeah, gas in Baker is the "just enough" spot, the gas is usually expensive!?!?!? Quote

DUNEATIC Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 Thanks!!!!! I really appreciate all the info!!!! See you at the dunes HALLOWEEN!! Ill be in a 2001 Dodge 2500 quad cab 4x4 white with grey & polished rims towing a 25ft wildwood toy box!!! As I said old school red rail & the wife has a Z400 with polished sandtires all around!!!

ltr450rider Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 My stock chevy s-10 with highway tires and a flatbed with 2 quads and gear can make it no problem. I parked over by bathroom three this weekend and I didn't spin my tires once. Check out the camping area grid map, there is a link on the DDR homepage to it. Welcome to the site and have fun out there. Quote

"DUNEATIC" my kids first camp trip was at dumont make sure you bring infant tylenol or what ever just in case the dust/dunes gets to her . bako and baker seem to be to far away in those cases. If you see the lit up CITGO gas station sign ontop of my TH, stop in an say hi. we should have it lit up that weekend Andy so you say you sell gas at dumont Quote
DUNEATIC Posted October 16, 2007 Author Posted October 16, 2007 Sweet thanks again!!! I just uploaded a picture of my rail on my info hope it shows up if not look at my info!!! Quote
dune_rat Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) so you say you sell gas at dumont beer_bang.gif I wish, could make alot of $$$$ but it probably wouldn't be 7/11 gas Edited October 16, 2007 by dune_rat Quote
Sandemon Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 If you are comeing thru Barstow the price of fuel is cheaper there than Baker. Just north of Barstow(aprox. 10 miles) there is a Am/Pm and the L.V. truckstop in Yermo that is much cheaper than Baker. Quote
brianj Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 If you get there at 2 am, it will hard to get your berings straight. To dark to see the dunes or fingers to pull into. You might have to wait till a little bit of sun to see. just my 2 cents Quote
