We are planning on the same good times we always have with cars & coffee, a small raffle, TACOS for lunch and even more DUNE TIME this year. So if you have a buggy or just want to be part of the fun, come out and join us. Please RSVP so we know to expect you. 

What is Buggy Roundup?

The Buggy Roundup is an annual Dumont trip when all the sandcar people are invited to come out and camp together as a group. We'll be camped together across from bathroom 10, just off the right side of the entrance road. This trip gives the buggy guys and girls of Dumont a chance to meet each other and run the dunes together for a full weekend without the crowds. So don't be a stranger. Every year we have new people join the camp and end up leaving as friends. 

Schedule-ish

There is no set schedule of events, but it will likely go something like this...

 

Arrive as early as you'd like. Some get there as early as Tues or Wed. Just don't go hard and break your car before the weekend!

 

Friday

Group rides: Link up and get some group rides going. 

 

Saturday

8:00 AM -~9 AM: Sandcars and Coffee: Pull your car into the center of camp. (Or park it there the night before) Feel free to bring out some donuts or breakfast treats to contribute if you'd like. Just don't go nuts. Grab a coffee, say good morning to everyone, and check out all the buggies. This gives everyone a chance to wake up and get the day started. We'll also have raffle tickets for some prizes that we'll be giving away later in the day so come to the tent in the middle of camp to grab yours. 

 

10 AM Group Ride: Join the group as we form the biggest train of buggies you've ever seen. We'll do a full dune run (slow to medium paced cruise) from the south end all the way through the dunes to the north pole. 

 

Saturday Afternoon: The rest of the day will include giveaways and more group dune runs! The raffle prizes will be given out around lunch time.

Who ever is considering going,  it is a great group, not clickish and most do not know each other, 

If you fear not knowing anyone, hit me up and will meet you at the road guide you in,  and introduce,   

Really is a very chill event, 

 
It looks like the 127 is open with an escort. So that’ll make it nicer for the Cali folks.  

 
CHILL BUGGY TRIP EVERY

This is not like Glamis,  No Rangers No Sherrif,  just big dessert area, 

Big large bowls size of a football stadium,  

not very many witch eyes only a couple 

But every hill is a Razor Back,  no straight over dunes,  have to roll over every top sideways,   

I am having wood delivered,  last year they had a food vendor, 

 
So I’m thinking about checking this out this weekend. I see there is a Buggy Roundup 11.5. How is dumont if it rains. Is the camping area a big mess? Will I be stuck out there until it dries in my 45’ heavy ass motorhome?

Camping area is huge and I dont think Rain will affect that but there is a small water crossing to go through and that can get flowing if it pours in the North.

I will be out there Thursday moringish.

Coming from the south what way would I go? I’ve heard a road was shut down to get there.

Its not like Glamis where there are multiple place to enter. Only one way in. If your are coming up the 15N get off in Baker take 127 to Dumont entrance RD

127 was closed beginning of the year but open now.

 
You will have no problem if it rains, just harden's the area where you park. 127 is wide open no escort anymore. Dumont is like a race track, fast runs for about 30-45 minutes. Then chill for ea bit. Hit it again. Definitely a good time. I take take a 42' foot coach with 26' box behind it

 
I think we’re gonna check this out. Is it hard to find the camping area for the event?

 
That's an awesome pic! ^^^^

Can my Can Am "Identify " as a buggy?

Have fun all.

Dumont camping is like a huge Flat area,  size of say a large Dry lake,  

One big camp area, 3 miles by 3 hundred yards,  

More it rains the harder the camp area gets,   stay on the 1.5'' rocks and it is like concrete, no rocks on the ground then that means it is soft sand,
