About
Horsfall Campground is situated in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area at an elevation of 100 feet, nestled in a valley of dunes near the Pacific Coast. The campground serves as an outstanding home base for off-road vehicle enthusiasts, with direct sand trail access from the campground to OHV trails and open riding zones located northwest of the facility. With 70 campsites that can accommodate RVs up to 52 feet, the campground appeals to both tent campers and RV travelers. The surrounding area offers diverse recreational opportunities beyond OHV riding. Horsfall Beach lies to the west at the end of Horsfall Beach Road, while nearby water bodies including Horsfall Lake, Spirit Lake, Bluebill Lake, and smaller ponds are within a mile. Non-motorized recreation options include the Bluebill Lake Trail and Wild Mare Horse Trail, which accommodates both horseback riders and hikers. The mild year-round climate and proximity to Coos Bay make this an accessible destination throughout the seasons. The campground operates on a reservation-only basis through Recreation.gov, with no first-come, first-served sites available. Each campsite includes a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. A 14-day stay limit within any 30-day rolling period applies across all Siuslaw National Forest campgrounds. Oregon ATV program permits are required for off-road vehicle use in the dunes.
