Less campsite, more ATV track with camp spots carefully nestled over blind crests. Ended up being unworkable, we went elsewhere

Sand camping is a great experience with friends and family. Remember to bring plenty of water with you and a good air compressor to air your tires back up when you leave. The area has very tall dunes and good trails both in the woods and alongside the beach. Remember to pack all your garbage out. The scenery and views are fantastic. Nice place to have fun.

We had made our family reservation and were specifically instructed to park within so many feet of our campsite marker but upon arrival, there was no marker to be found. Unfortunately, we did not have service to call for further direction so we were forced to camp elsewhere down the road. Our four wheel drive vehicle was sinking as we were searching for our marker so the entrance could have been graded however that was the least of our concern.

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. |
