About
West Winds Campground sits at the gateway to Sand Lake Recreation Area's expansive coastal dune system on the northern Oregon coast. The 18 paved campsites cater primarily to off-highway vehicle enthusiasts, offering direct access to nearly 1,100 acres of open sand for riding. The dunes stretch to the Pacific Ocean, providing both motorized recreation and beach access. Facilities include flush toilets, potable drinking water, garbage collection, and picnic tables. Some sites are equipped with fire rings; campers at sites without rings must bring their own raised fire pits. No hookups, showers, or dump stations are available. Dogs are permitted on leashes no longer than 6 feet. OHV riding is prohibited between midnight and 6 a.m., and an alcohol ban applies in riding areas. The campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis for most of the year, with reservations required only during the Fourth of July holiday period. Fees are $25 per night, payable by debit or credit card at the West Winds Fee Kiosk.
