What Guests Are Saying

Hauser Sand Camping is a well-loved spot known for its cleanliness and friendly forest service staff. Many campers enjoy the location and plan to return, although some have experienced disturbances from nearby dune riders and challenging access for larger vehicles. While it may be ideal for those who enjoy off-roading, traditional campers might find it less suitable due to noise and accessibility issues.

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.

We love sand camping, and this is a great place to do it. Already in the sand, no need to ride gravel or pavement with your paddles, lots of room compared to regular sites. Love it.
