Glamis Sand Dunes
Featured Dune Area Near El Centro, CA!The Algodones Dunes are a great travel opportunity for all types off road vehicle enthusiasts, spanning a 40 mile stretch with pure sand dunes of all sizes.
Whip flags are mandatory, and while the park is open year-round, the best time to ride is around late September through April because of the heat. The area can see 200 thousand riders or more on major holidays, but because of it's size, the atmosphere can still range from rowdy to secluded, depending on where you choose to go.
Services are limited but there are some vault toilets scattered throughout the area. There are no water or electric hookups and its advised that all drinking water be brought prior to entering the dunes. During the season ice cream trucks deliver ice, bottled water and snacks.
A permit is required to ride or camp here which can be purchased onsite or at nearby shops (the closest vendor that sells the permit is Glamis Beach Store). It is recommended to pick up the permit prior to entry since its not only cheaper, but the lines at the ranger station off Gecko Road can be very long, especially during holiday weekends.
