Oregon Dunes - if you can only do 1 trip, then which event?

[moosehog]

Our family of 4 wants to hit the oregon dunes in 2017. Kids ages 5 and 8. We have been once before to Winchester Bay, but not for any special event/week. If you could do one event next year, which would it be?
1. Dune Fest
2. UTV Invasion
3. Some other week (IE no special event)
4. UTV Takeover "Summerfest"

I was leaning toward booking for Dune Fest, but a thread on here for 2016 suggested it was poorly organized and crowded.

Any suggestions are welcome.

I personally don't like crowds, so I avoid the "special events" like the plague! We have been to Winchester Bay a couple of times, and Riley Ranch once. We liked Riley Ranch better, and will be going back next August, right after Dunefest. Dates will probably be like the 12th through the 18th.

I looked into Riley Ranch and it looks nice. They are plenty of sites bookable right now for RVs up to 50 ft. I'm leaning toward booking one for that same week.

Your poll is missing the best upcoming event: UTV Takeover "Summerfest". (June 14th-18th, 2017)

X - This is my vote!

To my knowledge, there is no UTV Invasion in Oregon. Only Idaho.

That's the one I was thinking of. I just had the name wrong.

Biggest problem with Dunefest is too many people for such a small area. Last couple of times we went we stayed down at Riley ranch and trailered up for one day but the kids in our group got bored pretty fast.
