White Sands Campground

We went in May and the weather was good. Some rain but made the sand wet and not so deep the next day. We had 20 people in our group and our campsite had the sand dunes in our backyard. Perfect for the kids to plan. There are campsites you could easily fit 100+ people. The campground has water available at different locations throughout the campground, except in the winter time.

Dispersed camp/parking with direct access to the dunes. Vault toilets, new concrete tables. Water currently not on.

White sands is the closest campground from the entrance of little sahara recreation area, and also closest to the dunes, putting you right amongst them in some cases. Compared to Sand Mountain area though, the dunes around White Sands are much smaller, sharper(abrupt crests) and difficult to navigate at high speeds. Except for a few trails around the edges, you won't be able to drive near as fast in most cases, always being forced to slow down over the crest of the dune ahead. You never want to charge over the top of a dune that you don't know the other side of. Most accidents come from accidental jumps, blind turns, blind cresting or rollovers from turning too sharp or getting too sideways on a steep slope with insufficient speed. However, all the above makes white sands perfect for sm

We love this place! Great year round adventure destination. The cost is a bit obsurd given that no facilities are open or anything,but I guess we just keep paying it... Oh well. The sand can be deep in places, but mostly it's a very manageable place for all levels. Just be careful about riding if dunes. Gotta look before you leap! So many people get hurt here by not paying attention.

Awesome place to go! So beautiful! Great place to take pictures. Bathrooms were scarce as well as any shade. So come prepared for that. But all in all, it was a good day!
