Space 32 is amazing - great view of banshee hill, close to the road outlet. The only negative is how soft the sand is the ten feet from the road outlet, we got stuck on the way out after a fun few days, thankfully had friends there to pull us out real quick (front tires were four feet from the asphalt pour out 😂) will be back anyway!

We brought our tent here to camp and were sincerely disappointed to see that there were no site markers anywhere in the sand, as well as large pools of water covering multiple site locations (according to the map). Further, the crowds of OHVs flying over hills and around blind corners through the camp site locations mean't there was a very high likelihood our tent would have been run over. We decided to leave before even staying one night, and wish that we could have had our money refunded.

The site is a large ATV track. There are NO markers to indicate where the sites are. Also, some of the area is flooded. We never where able to find the site we reserved (site 31) or any camp site for that matter. DO NOT stay here. You'll probably end up getting run over by some kid on an ATV, and you'll never be able to find your site or be able to get to it. So we where forced to leave and didn't stay there.

It was our fist time sand camping. It was a great experience. Ended up helping a few people pull their motorhomes out. I would not recommend taking a motorhome. Our 4x4 pickup, camper and 24’ enclosed trailer aired down to 15psi on everything did great 👍

Campground host was rude. We were not notified on our email that there were no campfires allowed until we actually arrived.

one star only because we arrived at night no one around and think this camping is for ATVers we were misinformed as we had a van & didn't want to get stuck in the sand so turned around and stayed at the Umpqua RV park which is noisy with those ATVs .. we know the beach on the other side of those dunes is breath taking though .............

We had a wonderful time. Good weather, a little windy , however quite enjoyable experience. Sand was clean and smooth. We liked it so much that we are going back in a couple of weeks!

No real place to park my boat and camper. Eventually went to the large campground and boat slips. Lost
Mr original deposit, but was very happy with the boat slip and camper space.

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. |
