Horsfall Beach

Pretty cool taking off from your campsite to the beach and all the trails!

This is normally our go-to spot for dune camping. There is usually a host trailer on site but the host site was vacant this trip. When we arrived, the lot was fairly full and there were at least 5 loose dogs running around during our entire stay. We have a senior dog that is part of our family and the loose dogs running up on her was very disturbing. We also had to wait 2 hours past check in time for someone to move out of our reserved spot. The woman there was waiting for her husband to return and help her move. The worst experience we’ve had here by far. And the normal slight incline to the sand trail had been changed drastically to a steep edge due to waves. Just a bummer all around.

I was in site 5, Sunday and Monday nights. There was no host. When the weekend crowd left it became fairly quiet. Everyone who had dogs let them run free. Fortunately, they were fairly well behaved and kept their dogs around their sites. With no host or rule enforcement, there were several decrepit vehicles that pulled in late and left early, doubt they paid their 3. Random cars would pull in, do a loop and leave. Most seemed to be curious tourists but some were clearly looking for easy pickings. Everyone staying there had their easily stolen items chained up or locked away when they weren't there. The beach speed limit is 25 mph.... Which nobody obeyed, myself included. Treat it as a guideline at high tide and fly when the tide is out! It was great fun there. -1 * for the online only reservations, dogs, and no host. Also, the firewood you can buy at the Safeway gas bar is super bone dry, $6, and the same size and cost as from the big firewood bin at the first store across the bridge. Their wood was quite damp though.

The bathrooms were not stocked the whole time we were there.
