The dunes are located north of State Highway 78, from the east side of Coachella Canal to Glamis. You can park at the Orborne Lookout Park (32° 59.01 N , 115° 07.96 W) and walk from there. There are no trails or trailheads, just open space to explore. Deeper into the area camping is allowed.

Dune buggy and dirt bike rentals are available for use at the Imperial Sand Dune area, the southern part. Makes for a really fun sand dune ride!
