The Bureau of Land Management will charge the public more to visit the Little Sahara Recreation Area beginning Thursday.

The 60,000-acre sand dune complex in Juab County has long been a popular spot for off-highway vehicles.

The new fees are $18 per vehicle for an overnight camping permit, $120 for an annual permit and $65 for a second vehicle.

Revenue from the increases will cover costs ranging from law enforcement to pumping toilets.

Aaron Curtis, the recreation leader for Utah's BLM office, says Little Sahara hasn't seen a fee increase since 2003.

“We’ve had success bringing illegal riders to justice by snapping photos of their ID stickers. The problem in California is that they’re too darn small to see from far away or at high speeds. While I’m normally not in favor of the government getting involved in things, requiring all ORVs to have a visible ID with a minimum size and standard location would make them an even better tool for property owners to identify trespassing riders. We should also look to Wyoming’s lead and make trespassing penalties clear so riders think twice before they head off designated trails and onto my land.”
