Natural Features

This 10,600-acre playground of shifting, white quartz sand is known for its unique beauty and exceptional space for off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts, hikers and equestrians. The dunes are an important environment for a variety of plants and animals. The sand dunes themselves may appear lifeless, but they harbor three unique and sensitive species: the Saint Anthony evening primrose and two species of beetle. The dunes are ringed by thousands of acres of native grasses, junipers and sagebrush that provide habitat for sage-grouse and critical winter range for elk, mule deer and moose.

Recreation

The campground sites have electric pedestals, access to water hydrant, campfire rings, picnic tables and a vault toilet. There are numerous opportunities to go hiking, biking, horseback riding and ride off-road vehicles in the area.

Nearby Attractions

The campground is within a couple of hours drive from Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
