What Guests Are Saying
Umpqua Sand Camping offers a great location for ATV enthusiasts, with easy access to the beach and surrounding off-road areas. Reviewers appreciate the spaciousness and relative emptiness of the beach, especially during the weekdays. However, noise from ATVs can be an issue, and accessing the beach requires a short trip to a designated area. Overall, it's a solid choice for those looking to camp near off-road activities.

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 .............

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.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
