Oregon Dunes, beach driving in OR
 

I am planning a summer visit to the North and South Oregon coast and
am interested in learning about beach driving and also the Oregon
Dunes area.

In particular I would like a map that shows which beaches are open to
driving and when (seasonal restrictions).

My truck has front and rear lockers but I am running 33 inch MTRs -
will the aggressive tread cause trouble in deep loose sand even aired
down? I have never done any of this type of driving.

I know I need a flag and an ATV permit for the Dunes - is there
anything else I need to know? Are full sized vehicles limited to
certain areas or trails? Got any good links?

How about a nice tent campground near the Dunes that is not swarming
with dirt bikes and ATVs?

Thanks for any help - I am sure a lot of you guys have driven this
area....

Re: Oregon Dunes, beach driving in OR
 

We were there last summer and the only full sized anything I saw on the dunes
was a GM pickup frame with a roll cage welded on where the body used to be. It
was being used by the outfit we rented the ATV's from to smooth out the moguls
in the trail. They were dragging what looked like an old bed frame. The tires
on this beast were Mickey Thompson 35x17.50 Baja's.

I was really disappointed that I didn't see one Jeep where we were. (But maybe
they weren't allowed. I don't know)

Now if you want to talk about fun, those ATV's we rented were a blast on the
dunes, and they were just 250's. I'd never ridden one before and it was a total
spur of the moment decision to rent them. Unfortunately for my wallet I now
have a real bad case of the "I wants." <lol>

The dunes are a fun place and I hope to return someday,
Dean
