What Guests Are Saying
Hauser Sand Camping is clean and well-maintained, with friendly forest service staff informing visitors about fire bans. However, access to the site can be challenging for vehicles, and the noise from dune riders may disrupt a peaceful camping experience. It's better suited for those who prefer riding rather than traditional camping.

There was zero way a 4x4 pickup with 15lb of air in tires would get down and back up V8 hill to get to this camp spot. We did get to that point just fine but we're not going to chance that hill to camp. Also, we were told that the main trail goes right past the spot so the dune riders would be blasting past at all hours.
We elected to find a spot down the road at a horse camp. Luckily, we were able to find one last minute on 4th of July weekend.
If you plan to park your truck and ride into camp than this is the spot for you. If dune riding is life, this is the spot for you. If camping is what you are after--- THIS IS NOT THE SPOT FOR YOU.

Some sites are very hard to find, so do yourself a favor and give yourself plenty of daylight to find your spot...trying to do so in the dark is a very frustrating experience especially if you're pulling a small trailer with quads on it like we were. One other piece of advice...AIR DOWN to 15-18 lbs...don't think your big badass 4x4 can handle it...I have a built Toyota Tundra, and still got stuck. One other thing...turn your traction control on your vehicle off, makes a world of difference. It was awesome to camp in the dunes. Be prepared, lots of water, shade shelter....and get sand screws from your tent or whatever...it gets really breezy. We camped in a spot that the dogs could run free, and fast access to the dunes, like right at your camp. Bring a camp toilet and privacy shelter...people will be by your camp all day and night. If you dont like quad and SXS noise, you will hate this type of camping....we had a huge blast.
BEWARE: Sand is super soft, don't even think you can take your Honda Accord or whatever....it won't work and you'll just piss everyone off as they wait behind you as you try and get unstuck.
