Umpqua Sand Camping

Imagine camping amid the vast, undulating sand dunes of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, where the sound of off-road vehicles mingles with ocean breezes and wide-open skies stretch endlessly overhead. Umpqua Sand Camping in Reedsport, Oregon, offers an entirely unique experience with its remote, primitive campsites accessible only by 4x4 vehicles, making it a haven for off-road enthusiasts and those craving an adventurous outdoor escape.

The campground features dispersed sites located directly on the sandy expanse, allowing campers to fully immerse themselves in the dynamic landscape of towering dunes—some of the tallest on the Oregon coast. With no water, restrooms, or typical amenities, campers must embrace a self-reliant experience, bringing all necessities, including water, portable toilets, and fire pans. Each standard site accommodates up to five vehicles and 20 people, while group sites host larger gatherings, making it ideal for OHV groups or adventurous family parties.

Located just 3 miles south of Reedsport and minutes from Winchester Bay, the campground provides direct access to dune riding areas and proximity to nearby attractions. Umpqua Lighthouse State Park, with its historic lighthouse and scenic Lake Marie, is a short drive away for those seeking a break from the dunes. Whether you’re here for high-octane OHV thrills or the sheer beauty of the Pacific Coast’s sculpted dunes, Umpqua Sand Camping promises an unforgettable blend of rugged adventure and natural splendor.
