Siltcoos Sand Camping Access

Imagine a campsite where your front yard is an ocean of undulating sand dunes and your playground is the largest expanse of coastal dunes in North America. Siltcoos Sand Camping Access in Oregon offers precisely this, a unique landscape that combines serene coastal beauty with adrenaline-pumping off-road vehicle adventures, all within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.

Accessible only by 4x4 vehicles, the 16 primitive campsites here are scattered across soft sand, providing an isolated, back-to-basics experience. There are no water, restroom, or fire amenities, so campers must come fully prepared with portable toilets, water, and fire pans. The lack of facilities is outweighed by the unforgettable sights of wind-sculpted dunes, coastal forests, and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. This campground is a haven for OHV enthusiasts, with miles of trails crisscrossing the area and an open riding zone just north of Siltcoos Beach Road. For those seeking variety, nearby hiking trails like the Waxmyrtle and Lagoon Trails lead through coastal forests and riverbanks to peaceful beaches, where seasonal birdwatching and whale-watching add to the natural allure.

Situated just seven miles south of Florence, Siltcoos is not far from charming coastal towns and other recreational gems like Siltcoos Lake and Tahkenitch Creek Trail, each within a 30-minute drive. This destination caters to off-road adventurers, nature lovers, and those looking for a rugged coastal camping experience unlike any other.
