What Guests Are Saying
Horsfall Sand Camping offers a fun atmosphere, but access can be challenging. Many visitors struggled with the difficult road conditions and found it hard to camp near their group due to existing occupancy. Improved communication about vehicle requirements and campsite availability would enhance the experience.

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!

Numbered site was on a hill , unable to park my toy hauler . Tried to park close to the area but was in the way of other riders so only stayed one day until I could relocate to another camp site. I would not camp there again.

We like this spot a lot simply because we don’t have to drag everything to far on the sand. The only problem we’ve been having is people now just speeding in by the camp. One particular group kept coming closer and closer almost hitting one of our kids. As far as my understanding you aren’t supposed to speed through sand camps or any camps. Other than that we love this spot.

If you have the proper vehicle and the means, sand camping can be okay. However, be aware that the sand campsites have almost nothing available and are far from the restroom areas or showers. You are almost infinitely better off just getting a campsite in the actual campground area than staying on the sand itself unless you are adamant to do sand camping.
We ended up just getting one of the actual campsites for the night anyway because we did not realize just how little the site actually comprised of, and generally I would recommend the same for most people. It is literally just a patch of sand with a few sparse trees, right next to the dunes and day use area where people will be driving 4x4's at all hours of the day and into the night. Not necessarily bad if that's what you want, but be aware that this is what you're getting.

There is a 14-day in 30 rolling days camping limit on the Siuslaw National Forest. The 14 days does not have to be consecutive. The 14-day limit covers the entire Siuslaw National Forest and not just this campground as shown in the Rules Section. This means you cannot go to other campgrounds on the Siuslaw National Forest after reaching the 14-day limit. |
