Kitcat Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Has anyone ever driven to Little Sahara from Henderson (or Vegas)? How long is the drive, esp if you're hauling a trailer? We were trying to think of a nice place to go duning in the summertime. It looks like it gets warm there, but might be nice. Besides Pismo, does anyone have any other suggestions? We've gone to Circleville, UT a couple times and rode the Paiute trail - it was really fun. Just thinking about some ideas for summer vacations! :freakin_nuts: Quote
racegirl04 Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 We've been there 3 times in the last year and a half. We've gone in mid-June, July 4th and Labor day. Daytime highs in the 90's but the nights are cool. It took us about 6 1/2 to 7 hours each way from Henderson. But we were cruising about 63 mph and stopped multiple times for the dogs. Quote

ltr450rider Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Oregon dunes look pretty cool if your willing to drive the day and half for it. Quote

What are the camping conditions up there? Are there hook ups or it is dry camping like at Dumont? Are there a lot of riding areas? Quote
Kitcat Posted December 19, 2007 Author Posted December 19, 2007 Variety Cheese.......variety. Yes, variety! We've been to Pismo a couple times. It's nice there, though. Quote
NicoleinVegas Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Cinders in Flagstaff. Weather is not that bad there, from Henderson, the drive is not that long either. Quote
limodriver Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 If your thinking of Oregon dunes check out St. Anthony dunes in I daho first. It only takes about 10 hrs to get there and you have full hookups with some of the best dunning there is. Quote

spooner Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) That's cool. What are the camping conditions up there? Are there hook ups or it is dry camping like at Dumont? Are there a lot of riding areas? Kitcat Little Sahara is really a great place to go the riding is very technical and the area is HUGE !!! (the actual open riding area is a lot bigger then glamis....and less crowded) there are 3 main camp areas ; i like the Oasis (shade, big parking spots, nice restrooms and water) sand mountain is too crowded for me (i dont need the hillshooting noise all day long ) white sands is very secluded but also very sandy (no problem if you have a 4wd towrig) check out this link: Dunereview great pics and all the info you need Edited December 21, 2007 by spooner Quote
racegirl04 Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 That's cool. What are the camping conditions up there? Are there hook ups or it is dry camping like at Dumont? Are there a lot of riding areas? We stayed at Sand Mountain, can be crowded on holiday weekends. But if not a holiday, it wasn't too bad at all and I love camping where you can watch people race up the hills from our camp.No hookups here, but there are bathrooms and water is available from like May thru October (I think). Here's some pics: Quote
spooner Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 ....water is available from like May thru October (I think)... racegirl04 is right; the water is not always available the BLM is actually hauling the water there by truck so they ask camp users to be moderate with water usage i have seen the rangers (rightfully ) nearly throw a guy out of the camp for filling a inflatable pool for his kids :mc_smiley: Quote
Tripleshot Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 KitKatt, Easter weekend is the best time for Sand Mountain. It will remind you of Dumont for activities. Has well water spickets located in variuos places. I live in St. George and dune there often. The comp hill is higher than dumont. summers are hot. We go to the mountains in the summer or corral pink. Bring your new rhino. I just ordered mine. Midnight warrior. Will be at Dumont Pres day. Quote

Kitcat Posted January 3, 2008 Author Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks for all the helpful replies. We might end up going to Circleville again this year because with the Rhino, we can go much further and expore more of the trails. I like riding in technical dunes, though and Little Sahara looks awesome! My husband has been to the Oregon dunes a long time ago, when he was a kid. He loved it there. Quote
CyNick Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 We go there quite often, if you like parties go at Easter. We are only gonna make probly 1 trip there this year for DS Days at Labor Day. But it is a good place to go. Quote
