Little Sahara Campgrounds Will Be Ready For Easter Weekend

One great Utah tradition is to hit the sand dunes over Easter Weekend. Thousands of people will descend on Little Sahara in Central Utah. That weekend the dunes will be crowded with people riding ATVs and dune buggies and enjoy spring weather in the out-of-doors.

BLM has just released information saying the campgrounds will be open and ready, with water turned on. Warm temperatures have allowed personnel to get a jump on work to prepare for the recreation season.

BLM provided the news release below.
