Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park has implemented Stage 2 Fire Restrictions. These restrictions prohibit all open fires, including those in established fire pits and charcoal or pellet grills.

Key takeaways

  • Stage 2 Fire Restrictions prohibit all open fires, charcoal grills, and pellet grills.
  • Shielded gas or liquid-fueled portable stoves are permitted if used in a three-foot diameter barren area.
  • The sand dunes at the park can shift up to 50 feet annually due to wind.

Stage 2 Fire Restrictions are currently in effect at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. Under these regulations, there are no open fires of any kind permitted.

This prohibition includes fires within established fire pits, as well as the use of charcoal grills, pellet grills, or any other ash-producing fuel.

Portable camp stoves that are liquid-fueled or gas-fueled and properly shielded with a shut-off valve remain allowed. However, these must be used in an area that is at least three feet in diameter and consists of barren ground with no flammable vegetation.

The park features a shifting sea of red sand where dunes and hills can move as much as 50 feet per year due to wind. The area provides opportunities for both off-highway vehicle enthusiasts and those participating in non-motorized activities.
