Hauser Sand Camping

Imagine camping directly on the soft sands of the expansive Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, where towering dunes stretch in all directions and the roar of off-road vehicles fills the air. Hauser Sand Camping in North Bend, Oregon, is a hotspot for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike, offering access to one of the largest off-road vehicle areas in the state, immediate proximity to picturesque dunes, and unique primitive camping opportunities.

This dispersed campground features 25 designated sandy campsites designed to accommodate groups of varying sizes, from standard sites allowing up to 20 people to larger group sites for 40. Accessible only by 4x4 vehicles via soft sand routes, Hauser Sand Camping is a truly immersive and rugged escape. Campsites are primitive with no water or permanent facilities, so campers must bring ample supplies, including portable toilets and fire pans. The central appeal lies in the recreational opportunities: the towering dunes are perfect for off-highway vehicle (OHV) adventures, with routes like the Hauser Beach Sand Route leading riders to the nearby Pacific Ocean shoreline.

Located just six miles north of North Bend, the campground is well-positioned for outdoor exploration. In addition to the dunes, visitors can enjoy birdwatching, wildlife viewing, or exploring nearby lakes such as Beale Lake and Coos Bay. This is a destination ideally suited for avid OHV riders, weekend adventurers, and groups seeking an unparalleled sand camping experience in an awe-inspiring coastal environment.
