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.

Loved our campsite! The previous campers from 4th of July were litterbugs so we went around and picked up their trash, but other than that it was amazing. We saw lots of animal tracks in the mornings and saw a Humboldt Martin going across one of the roads. What a beautiful fun trip!!

The forest service workers were rude. Then the camp host was even ruder as she had the adasitay to remove our tarp which was covering items in the bed of our truck saying " your making me look bad" . I will never return their in that section .. horse fall camp and horse fall beach.. both just horrible.

This specific spot was not a good site for a toy hauler! We weren't able to safely set up within the required 150 feet of the post and ended up having to find a camp site somewhere else.
