Dunes OHV Recreation Area
Covering more than 800 acres, Dunes OHV Area is a small portion of BLM land that lies outside the jurisdiction of the Navajo Nation. There is a staging area right along State Highway where most campers set up. You don’t want to set up camp any deeper into the OHV area because it gets sandy and you’ll easily get stuck.
You’ll find a lot of trash thrown around here, along with stacks of used tires, and mounds of dirt and debris dumped here by local contractors. The amount of graffiti sprayed onto the picnic tables suggest this area is a popular party location for youth.
In our experience, this area is good for a few nights during the week, but once Friday rolls around it gets noisy here. We also heard gunfire in the distance as if people use this area for target practice.
