It has been my experience that, camping near sand dunes anywhere, you end up with sand in every orifice, coffee cup, toothbrush, and so on. And you will live with it in your vehicle for a long time. Sand dune sand is a fine grained sand, you might call it a penetrating sand, doesn't take much wind to push it around, nothing like beach sand or river sand. Camp on, but be aware. Like grit in your coffee?

I believe NPS allows camping 50 feet? off unpaved roads, except in places where it has been restricted like the Racetrack and so on. Eureka Dunes may be a restricted area, there are some plants that grow nowhere else and are considered special enough to try to save (I know that is an alien concept for some people, but we share the planet, and they were there first). Plenty of camping opportunities elsewhere.
