Yes. If shack is closed you just go early in morning to pay. However, if the sign says sold out then that means no more campers aloud.

Is the beach open fully for camping and driving on now?

christine poston | Sep 24, 2021
George Stepiko | Sep 24, 2021

It's opened. It's still have daily tickets limit so my advise it's to get there at early as you can. One more thing: no ATV rentals on the beach and in vicinity. The only chance to rent smth - of you have pickup/trailer to get your rented ATV to the beach by yourself.

Can I drive a 2wd car to The campsite? Or I need a 4wd to go there?

maria fernanda Escobar | Sep 25, 2018
MrKayak Media | Sep 25, 2018

Depending on where you are camping. If you have a spot closest to the beach front, you should be fine by parking closest to the water. If you have a spot beyond the beach front, 2wd is not recommended.

Do you think there’s any available camping site for this coming weekend?

Maxine Ochoa | Sep 25, 2018
Eric Salazar | Sep 25, 2018

You should check on reservecalifornia.com The sooner the better chances you have.

If the camp ground is full can you park somewhere else and bring a tent?

Michael Oswald | Sep 25, 2018
Albert Hawken | Sep 25, 2018

No you cannot camp except in campsites. If you do camp just anywhere and get caught it would most likely end with a fine . But there are many campgrounds in the area.

If the camping is sold out for Aug. 18 dune buggy show, can we still attend with a day pass? Or do those sell out too?

Sommer Shahan | Sep 25, 2018
Eric Salazar | Sep 25, 2018

Day pass should be enough.

Can you drive your personal owned truck on the dunes, and what sort of things do the staff not like you doing with your vehicle?

Hunter Campbell | Sep 25, 2018
David B | Sep 25, 2018

Yes you can, we arrived in a car which we were told might sink in the sand but a good truck with clearance would be fine. Not sure what they are OK with you doing, aside from not sinking and having to be towed out!
