What Guests Are Saying
Horsfall Sand Camping offers a beautiful and adventurous setting for camping, particularly for those experienced with dune driving. However, visitors should be cautious as the soft sand can be challenging, and the road access is often difficult. Some campers have raised concerns about safety and site management, suggesting that specific camping spots need reevaluation, but overall, many enjoy the unique experience the location provides.

I have a full sized pickup with a pop up camper, fully equipped and experienced in dune driving. However the sand here is very soft and there is not a clear main road to follow - more like a web of small trails winding through hills in bottomless soft sand among trees. Beautiful ! but got stuck, slid against a tree, almost ripped my awning off, had to winch out. The guy in the staging area (turned out to be the tow truck driver lol) promised me we could get there “in a 2WD sedan with street tires” - baloney. If you have a full sized rig, try and get a local to show you the best route - I did see full sized trucks that had towed campers part way in, so I know there’s a “road” of some sort - or be prepared for deep soft sand - otherwise your friendly tow operator will be happy to pull you out for $500 when you get stuck.

Had a weekend planned out for me my dad and other family, booked the spot and I drove almost 6 hours to be there, we all stayed at old bark then hit the sand to find the spot and plan a route to the camp, upon getting to “camp 102” we found that it was nowhere close to being a camp spot, it’s a marker pounded into the ground with 360 degree of wide open trail surrounding it. I truly believe if we camped there we would have been hit by people flying through the trails and who knows how bad that would be. The spot needs to be reevaluated or removed completely before someone gets killed camping in the “spot. I took a video to show everyone how bad that is and how can the forest service even take someone’s money to let them camp like that, truly unbelievable. We ended up going elsewhere and never ended up even setting up because safety is more important, so not only was I out money on this “spot” I had to pay even more money to go elsewhere

I love this campsite but whoever was here before us left a ton of wood with nails all over in it! Not acceptable people need to do better!

Showed up on Sunday at 2:30pm to someone camped within 50ft of my post and no way to camp with our group anywhere near the site. Wasn’t able to get ahold of anyone to resolve the issue as they were closed. The road getting in was also extremely difficult. Watched many people get stuck. Beware that there is a possibility you may not get in. The road needs to be fixed and groomed. Just know, the sites are not easy to get to and there is no one there to monitor campsites and reservations. It’s more of a free for all.

Unfortunately we were not able to use this campsite as it was only accessible with a all-wheel-drive vehicle permitted for use in the sand. I drive an all-wheel-drive car, but was not able to get to the site and had to leave. It would great to have this more clear when booking!
