Should be passable been 5yrs rupton could answer better, there is a meadow spot and the bathroom spot.. Roads lead to both Meadows obviously grassy, bathroom was rocky gravel some grass.. Not sure on updates rupton88 could answer better...all I knows is watch the pipelines.. Some nice  4-5th gear bowls, some decent hills.. good place to run out a zilla

ok sounds like a ok place to try out. I am heeding to st Anthony on the 12 and I was thinking of stopping by killpecker on the way home. so the road should be passable in a motor home with a trailer

22 mile rd if I remember right, washboard and rough like a dirt road just long. Dunes are awesome the couple times I've been.. No shade and  good elevation sunshine makes it . Dunes are smooth usually. Has a modern shitter.. Worth the trip..

I think that depends on what kind of wind and weather they've had recently.
All dunes get razorbacks if the right winds are present, and when the prevailing winds shift to another direction, they may be smooth.
Each dune seems to be quite large width-wise, not small and choppy where razorbacks give you fits (in other words, if you're going straight up and down dunes, you'll be going over fewer hills than say, Waynoka or Silver Lake, where they're smaller and closer together)
Biggest bonus is that you don't have to worry about other people scratching up the smooth sand, you don't have to worry about nearly as much traffic (you always want to keep an eye out, even if you think you're the only one), and you don't have to worry about idiots hauling ass around your trailer at 4AM (probably anyway, LOL).

The road is mostly dirt from what I've seen on the net, for quite a few miles, but nobody has complained of the quality (some dirt roads here are smooth enough for 130mph in a stock duramax, smoother than pavement even).
Of course, Rupton should be able to answer that question a lot better than I could...Milehi and quadster have been out there a few times too.
If you go, be sure to take some pics of the parking/camping area, the road getting there, and the dunes too :)

Personally I love it. I don't like being around other people anyways, other than the my riding friends. You seldom ever see Fish Cops out there and when you do all they look for is your OHV sticker.

I live in Rock Springs, which is 20 minutes from there. The dunes are huge area wise, nothing extremely tall like you are used to up in St. Anthony. If you are into trail riding there are all kinds of roads and two tracks. More than likely you will have the dunes all to yourself also they are hardly ever busy.
