Additional law enforcement and visitor services may also be provided on holidays and weekends. The statute provides federal land management agencies authority to raise revenues for needed services and improvements by establishing a demonstration program to test the collection, retention, and reinvestment of new admission and user fees. The overall objective of this fee proposal is to address the concerns of dunes enthusiasts and provide needed improvements and services that benefit visitors. The user fee will augment BLM appropriated funds and allow for a higher level of service.
Public involvement is a very important component of the planning process.
Fees are collected at ATM machines in the developed area near Highway 78 for the Glamis area, the entrance of Gordon's Well, and the area south of Interstate 8 for Buttercup. Fees apply to primary vehicles only. Your ATM receipt will serve as your pass. Yearly passes are valid from October 1st through September 30th of the following year. This year, a pre-purchase service will be available for season passes over the telephone using a credit card.
