Oregon Sand Dunes

Thinking about planning a trip to the Oregon Sand Dunes. I would like to camp near Coos Bay, any recommendations? I'm looking for full hook ups and dune access. Also, I would need a site to accommodate a 39ft toy hauler.
  • Previous mentioned Dune Guide is a good place to start. Bunch of riders in this area hang out in the Toy Hauler sub forum too.

    Beyond where to stay don't forget to get your Oregon ATV Safety Card
  • I just left Salmon Harbor in Winchester Bay a few days ago.

    Here's a website I found online that gives you dune and camping info in that area.
    Dune Guide

    It's only 23 miles from Coos Bay.
  • Honeyman State Park south of Florence has camping right at the dunes. Huge park with loads of dune access. It is less than 50 miles from Coos Bay.

  • Winchester bay has two parks with easy dune access. Salmon Harbor is the nicest, but does not allow ORV access. But there is one across the road that does. About 1/4 mile further west is a private parking lot with camping. As I remember you will need valid tags for Oregon ORV use.
