About
Wild Mare Horse Camp is purpose-built for equestrian campers exploring the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Located 22 miles south of Reedsport and 2 miles north of North Bend, the campground sits among shore pine, Douglas fir, and huckleberry, less than a mile from the Pacific Ocean. The 12 sites each feature horse corrals, paved back-in driveways up to 45 feet, picnic tables, and fire rings. The main draw is the Wild Mare Horse Trail, which begins at the adjacent day-use area under a canopy of alder and spruce before crossing open dune terrain to the beach. The dunes south of Horsfall Beach Road are designated for hiking and horseback riding only, while OHV riders can access dunes to the north. Snowy plover nesting restrictions apply on designated beaches from March 15 through September 15. Facilities include drinking water from a hand pump, vault toilets, and trash/recycling service. Showers require a trip to Horsfall Campground. All hay and feed must be certified weed-free. The campground enforces a 14-day stay limit within any 30-day rolling period across the entire forest.
