Glamis Beach Store

Stopped in several times over our New Years Week family and friends camp out. They have what you forgot at the Glamis Beach Store. Of course it’s expensive cheese balls, So was that rental quad I saw your wife flip a few times in the dunes but your on vacation so just relax. Tee shirts lil old, hit up vender row for the latest and greatest prints and all your friend will think you look fresh. If your lucky the tee shirt guy will roll by your camp and you can buy cool stuff off his truck right on the spot. Keep Calm. Ride On…

Legendary for high prices and rudeness. Don’t expect a warm and fuzzy experience. But if you need some basic stuff, they will most likely have it. Hey folks, this is Glamis, we are out in the middle of nowhere, and they are pretty much the only game in town. So deal with it. If you go in with low expectations you’ll come out fine.

These reviews are hysterical. All I can say is either get yourself a half million dollar RV & trailer, make sure you pack everything you’ll need in AND THEN BACK OUT AGAIN; or, embrace the character and convenience of the one and only Glamis Beach Store and the people who run it. You have no idea what these people have seen and put up with over many years and then wonder why they charge for everything. As some of you noted, you probably don’t belong there anyway but don’t worry, the next time you go back there will probably be a mini Wal-​Mart across the street which will run the Store out of business… and then the Wal-​Mart will close and you can reminisce about the good olé Glamis Beach Store days.

Prices r high. What do you expect. We r in the middle of no mans land. But they have the basics. Bring your cash. They will have it. And if not the. The vendors are right around the corner…

It’s the only game in town and they know it. Plan on spending 50% or more for anything you could get elsewhere, not to mention the $ 2 they charge to use the ATM. If you can, get all your supplies in Brawley first.

I’m not a fan of this store, damn vender row is never open when we come out.
So this is how it is… You’re in Glamis, miles and miles and miles from anything, this is your only local store. They are going to charge you alot for everything, it’s called supply and demand. That’s why you hit up the AMPM in salton sea where you get your passes. I have only bought a flag to put on my whip, it was junk. They have shirts from 10+ years ago at a low low price of $ 5.00. My buddy needed batteries 2 AAA for $ 4 they were not even in a package, lasted him a whole hour, they were used. I noticed some older review talking about a restaurant upstairs, never seen it.

Went to Glamis for the first time last weekend. This was the ONLY building in the whole city, and boy was this place EXPENSIVE. They sell beer at bar prices. A 12oz can of bud light was $ 2.50. 20lb bag of ice for $ 9 bucks.(ice cream truck sells it for $ 8 bucks and they come to you) the bathroom cost $ 2 bucks and showers cost $ 10 bucks to use. Out there you get dirty PERIOD. After being there for three days I finally decided to take a shower. So I was willing to pay the $ 10 fee but the showers is a JOKE. The water went from HOT to COLD to no water than back to COLD… you get the point. I even got bite by a pincher bug while showering. This store is NO joke they charge for EVERYTHING. They even charge $ 2 if you use a credit card as payment. To use the power outlet after you shower cost $ 2 or to use a blow dryer cost $ 3 bucks. I’m surprised they don’t charge admission just to walk inside the store. If you need to buy anything try the ice cream truck and vendors first. If it’s your last resort than go here and bring some serious cash cause its like shopping at Costco here w/​o getting your items in bulk. The only upside about this place is they carry a lot of items you might need. Not sure if i’ll go back to this store let alone Glamis. The Rangers out there will FU*K with EVERYONE out there. Make sure you have a fast quad so you can elude them. LOL
FYI they close early. Went there on Saturday (the busies day of the week and they closed at 4pm

Need a corkscrew? Salt? Motor oil? Deodorant? Tylenol? Ice? Bandages? Beer? A bath towel? Commemorative t-​shirt? They have everything.
Yes, it’s expensive. But you’re desperate and in the middle of nowhere. I paid something like $ 20 for a paper-​thin bath towel that did little to dry me.
Yes, it’s seedy. Hello, it’s Glamis; not the Hamptons.

Worst possible service on the planet. I actually drive to Brawley as opposed to shopping here. there are plenty of «Hidden stores» close by that provide needed items (cigs, beer, etc.). This place is dirty and the prices can’t be justified. It’s pretty bad when I pay $ 7 per pack of smokes and $ 15 for a 12 pack of bud light on Gecko Road from «The Van» and I am SMILING because I saved money lol. Just drive to Brawley and be treated with respect.

I’m giving Glamis Beach Store 3 stars because.
It’s the only Store in town. LOL
and because it’s the only store their prices are off the chart.
I guess you better come prepared.
Another thing is they close early!
But the store manager was nice enough to still take my order.
I bought 2 packs of cigarettes and gave him a $ 20.
With no change back!!!
Cigarettes were 9.50 a pack!
and he said he had no till so no change back!
Although it was only a $ 1 in change I could of almost bought a carton!
So anyway…
Go get yourself a slice of Pizza upstairs and a pitcher of beer.
PS. Buy your souvenirs at Vendor Road.
Vendor Road sweaters $ 20 dollars vs. Glamis store sweaters $ 40 dollars

Unpopular food stock isn’t rotated much… dusty… expensive.
But it beats driving to Brawley for that pack of smokes or paper towels that you need and they may have the part you need to get your toy back up and running.

One word. Horrible.
Horrible prices — 1 pack smokes and a can of coke…$ 9.85. $ 8.50 for the smokes and $ 1.35 for the CAN of coke.
Horrible people — A friend from Phoenix took his 8 yr old daughter in to use the bathroom while he bought some supplies for the campsite. They refused to let the little girl use the bathroom unless he paid $ 2 for her. He explained that he was a customer and buying stuff, but to no avail.
I will never… let me repeat… NEVER go to this place. Please don’t go either… people like this need to NOT benefit from their actions.

Love this place.
This place has so much history inside they should charge admission.
Glamis is no place for the spineless or the unprepared. Need to buy something and you are in the middle of the sand dunes? Guess what, you are going to get fleeced. Wandering around this place looking for customer service? This isn’t Macy’s, buy something or hit the bricks.
I remember way back in the day buying gas for my bike here when $ 2.00/gallon was so expensive I contemplated walking my bike back to gecko rd.
Go in buy a shirt from the 1960s, a screwdriver, and a beer… you will have a story, even if they don’t smile or say thank you.

I have been going to Glamis to ride for years. This store is for the people in the desert for the most part… Its for the people that ride out in the dunes… its dusty and dirty and they are sometimes not friendly. They charge for the bathrooms because there are too many people during riding season that would come to use them and destroy them (as you noticed). The food is sucky… but its not a known dining destination. The riding season is short so I’m guessing why its so expensive. If you happened to drop in not knowing what it is then ya. it looks bad and tastes bad… but if you went there as a rider at glamis, you know why its like that and you should just bring an ice chest with your own food and drinks. Or try vendor row… the food is probably better.

This place is a Shithole.
A 8 oz well cocktail is $ 9.
The food is cardboard nuke & serve and the employees are instructed to talk it up like it’s 5 star cuisine.
The operators are mean spirited, phony slime balls, all of them.
A 9 year old girl was lost and came in from the dunes seeking help and the management and employees refused to help her.
This is not folklore, you can read all about it and conversations with her family at glamisdunes .com. Hence the boycott of the entire operation.
These folks are creeps.

I have no business being in Glamis, but we happened to be in the neighborhood and my man-​friend wanted to visit this place, and there was no where to eat for miles. Miles, I tell you. Anyway, I tried to keep an open mind, but it was worse than I expected. I didn’t enjoy myself very much. We went to the counter place upstairs which serves pizza, burgers and hotdogs. I’m sure it serves its purpose. The pizza looked kinda good, but looks can be deceiving. I should have known better. We waited forever for it to be cooked, and when we got it the crust was like cardboard and the cheese was so hot it burnt my mouth, and the mushrooms were surely from a can. I wished that someone on their way out would have warned me about the pizza, but they probably don’t care or know or care to know how much better pizza can be. So yeah. I won’t be going back.
The downstairs store was quite interesting. The bathrooms were there and I had to pee. It cost $ 2 to use the bathroom that was through a back door, down a long hallway, past some locker room showers, through another door outside to another building, and then bam — horror movie rape scene bathroom. I wasn’t daring enough to try the stall that didn’t have a door.
