Rexburg is the closest town and has everything you would need. There's an ATV shop right off the highway (huge blue bldg, tough to miss) hotels, food, walmart, ace hardware. Just ask around town, there's a gas station there in town that sells 112 octane gas if needed. Can't remember which one, but I know they sell it in 5gal cans. The dunes are only like 10-15min away from town.

 

How many guys total you got going?

Will the dunes be open by then? I am not sure how it works, but I know that at least part of the dunes are closed in the winter, and used as a deer, elk, or moose feeding area. You might want to check before you go. The town of Rexburg is to the south about 15-20 minutes drive, as said. If you follow the road into town, instead of getting on the highway to town, it will take you right to Walmart and several other stores. The Yamaha dealer is right off the highway, there is a NAPA and other auto parts in town. If you want to camp at the dunes, I recomend Desert Oasis campground, it is basically in the middle of the dunes, so you are centrally located and can ride anywhere on a tank of fuel. That is where we stayed and when we rode to Choke Cheery Hill and back, I was just about out of fuel. There is a BLM campground that is next to a lake and a little bit closer to Choke Cherry Hill, but the amenities are not quite as nice as Desert Oasis.There is a small store at the BLM campground that has spare parts-plugs ,sprocket, flags, etc., and they also have St. Anthonys hats and T shirts. There is also Sand Hills Resort to camp at, it is probably the nicest campground, but it is also the farthest from the big hills as it is located at the opposite end of the riding area from the big hills. It has grass and I believe, even a playground for the kiddies, we have friends that we ride with here in Oregon that stay there and swear by it, but they take their kids and they ride four strokes so the gas distance is not a problem.

yeah the town of rexburg is real close. there is camp spots all around it and one has a big parking lot that sits right outside the big dunes and even has a parts store but i dont think opens till the begining of may. you definitly have to hit up choke cherry and devils dune, probably the biggest steepest dunes you will ever hit.
