    Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. "Dispersed camping" is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a developed campground. Dispersed camping usually means no toilet facilities or treated water, no fire grates, and no picnic tables or other amenities are provided.

    There are extra responsibilities and skills needed for dispersed camping. By applying Leave No Trace practices, you will ensure a safe, clean and positive experience for your family and the environment.

    The sites listed below are some popular, well used dispersed camping areas. For other more out of the way places, please check the Motor Vehicle Use Map for permissible locations.

    The Forest also has dispersed OHV Sand Camping sites. Sand camping is allowed in areas at Sand Lake Recreation Area and at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Each area has different regulations as to where you can camp.

    | Hiking in the Oregon Dunes Day Use Area | Three Off Road Vehicles on the Sand | Two people riding horses in the ocean | The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is a special place. One of the largest expanses of temperate coastal sand dunes in the world, the stark, mist-shrouded views of dunes, forests, and ocean in such close proximity to one another are rare and hauntingly beautiful. Many plants and animals, including some found in few other places, call this area home. In 1972, Congress designated this 31,500-acre portion of the Siuslaw National Forest as a National Recreation Area in recognition of its unique values. Learn more about the geology of the dunes here. Adventure and solitude await! Among the tree islands, open dunes, wetlands, and beaches you will find Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) riding (experience it with Google Trekker), hiking, paddling, wildlife viewing, birding, camping, picnicking, sand play - the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area has it all. PloverLove Graphic4 Be a Friend to Snowy Plovers! Share the Beach March 15 – September 15 During snowy plover nesting season (March 15 - September 15) we coordinate with Oregon State parks and beachgoers to protect these threatened birds during a very sensitive time. By following nesting season restrictions and sharing the beach, you can help ensure plover chicks survive to adulthood. Dunes areas from north to south South Jetty : South Jetty provides day use access to beach and dunes, with separate areas for OHV and non motorized use. Siltcoos : Along the Siltcoos River are traditional campgrounds and easy trails along the river and to the beach. OHV users will find developed and dispersed camping opportunities. Oregon Dunes Day Use : Miles from OHV recreation, this area provides exceptional opportunities to explore the dunes on foot. Tahkenitch : With easy access off Hwy 101, traditional campgrounds provide lake access for boaters and dune access for hikers only. Saving the Oregon Dunes In 2014, the Siuslaw National Forest convened a group of stakeholders concerned about the threat to the dunes ecosystem and recreational opportunities due to the rapid spread of invasive species. The Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative has since developed a strategy for how to restore the dunes. In 2018, in an effort to raise public awareness, the group released this strategy as a coffee-table book along with a digital version on their companion website, SaveOregonDunes.org. More information on the strategy and what the Forest Service is doing to restore this special place can be found here.

    We found our forever home about 2 years ago and, after a crazy rollercoaster ride of purchasing, we finally got to move onto the property a year and a half ago.

    Like most new farmsteaders we hit our fair share of bumps in the road and learned a few lessons along the way. But all in all we are getting the place to where we want it to be and making our dreams come true.

    Although we are not quite there, we are starting to open up a few spots to have guests stay here and help us enjoy it with us along our journey!

    Come camp with us in the Oregon Coast Mountain Range! We are located right on Highway 126, exactly halfway between the city of Eugene and the city of Florence at the Oregon Pacific coast.

    Ask us about our FREE 420 package!

    We are only allowing adult guests that are 18 or older to stay at this time. Thanks for your understanding :)

    The space

    We have 2 tipi tents set up at the front of our property that can accommodate groups up to 8 people each. We also provide a composting toilet in its own small tent and access to fresh water. And if you get hungry we are just a short walk down the driveway to the Halfway Café!

    Guest access

    We love showing off our property and are more than happy to take you on a tour when you arrive! You are welcome to sit by the camp fire at night located up above our sun shaped garden or even hike the trails in our woods. Make sure you say hi to the turkey, chickens and baby ducks on your way past.

    Other things to note

    Stoney Acres is 420 friendly and we even produce our own flower that we love to share. Enjoy a free preroll for every night you stay with us. Our little way of saying thanks to our 420 friendly guest and to help you enjoy your stay the best we can! (must be 21 or older to qualify)

      Horse Creek Campground — Siuslaw National Forest

      Horse Camp

      Horse Creek is a great site for horse camping. Only two sites are for non-stock campers. The camp has no water or any hook ups but the corrals are pretty good except they can get muddy if manure is not carefully picked out. 

      The horse water trough is a short walk away from camp but does not have potable water. If users are not careful it can drain or not be usable so bring horse water. 

      The trails are wonderful!! But hilly so make sure your horse is fit or you are willing to take it easy. Many of the original overlooks are starting to be grown in but the forest is amazing!

      Nice spot directly on beach!

      I needed to spend a couple of days on business in Coos Bay and the Sun Outdoors site turned out to be very convenient! Decent sites with good room, OK bathrooms (some were trashed with sand and the water was at best luke warm in the bathrooms. Pretty pricey to stay here, so when I needed to add an extra day they had plenty of spaces.

      Safe and Quiet

      I spent one night here on a trip to southern Oregon and it was a very quiet and safe place to stay. The pit toilets were clean, the water spigots were easily accessible, and the site had an excellent pad for my tent. Will definitely plan to stay here again!

      Port of Siuslaw Campground & Marina

      Close to town

      The main draw of this campground is its proximity to the cute town of Florence. We don't tow a car, so being able to camp within walking distance of shops and restaurants is always a treat.

      This campground used to have boondock / dry camp spots for a lower cost, but now all sites are FHU.  The sites are packed pretty close together, and wouldn't be pleasant for an extended stay, but for a night or two it's find.  There's a lot of activity with the fishing boats which is fun to watch.

      There's a dump station for a fee for non-campers, laundry, showers, a book exchange in the office, trash dumpsters and recycling.

      Nearly froze

      We stayed in a yurt over Christmas and the heater in the Yurt did not heat sufficiently. We tried to get it fixed by staff but there wasn’t anyone who could help.

      We were near the lift station and the alarm was sounding off throughout our stay. Also no one remedied this.

      Easy to get too from Eugene. Inbetween yachats and walport. Can walk to either. Pacfic Sourdough in Walport is worth a visit. Days open were thursday-saturday. They get a line up. Yummmm. Market in yachats is Sunday. Check if open as it may be seasonal

      Not a place

      I dove thru. Told not welcome. 2+ year wait list to live there. Asked if I could just pay to park somewhere safely in there as a single woman, in her 40's, just to stay in my car and watch TV on my own cell service in my car? I was told no. I told them I didn't want to live there tonight, I was looking into rv living and feeling out what the lifestyle is about. Currently just a "leave no trace overnight sleep".

      Nope.

      Met a couple residents and park attendant/host and this is NOT A PLACE TO STAY.

      Looks like some kind of laundry area and possibly 1 shower stall. CHeesy (some kind of 1/4 height saloon town cutouts) hostile, rude, unfriendly, and discriminating. Best to move straight past it.

      Beautiful Spot

      We had horrible weather and our campsite flooded us out. Not much fun in a vintage trailer. But Jack, the campsite manager, took great care of us. He moved us to a higher location, just in time for the sun to come out. If you can get a site overlooking the beach, that's definitely the way to go. It is a smaller campground but it's clean and well kept. The showers are fine. And, as I said, Jack is great. We'll be back.

      Fun spot for impromptu camping trip!

      My husband and I decided we wanted to camp at the coast this weekend and every other camp site and state park was full, so we stumbled upon this place! It was easy to find following the directions on this site. Like other reviews mentioned, there are cars that drive by since it is a forest road, but we didn’t notice too much of a disturbance from them. It was pretty secluded. We stayed at the intersection campsite, and it was great! There was trash from previous campers, but we cleaned it up before we left!

Trails to the dunes and an abundance of thick foresty vegetation on all 3 sides of our spot. We love it here!

      The campsite feels secluded for a car campground. The sites for the tent are a little walk behind the picnic bench. The site was quiet and surrounded by trees. It was full but didn’t feel like too many people. The hike to the dune was fun.

      Rundown facilities, no privacy

      We stayed at Bastendorff Campground in August 2024 in tent site 15.  Going in, I didn't know much about the campground besides it's close to Charleston and Coos Bay and it has showers.  It turns out that all but one of the showers was out of order.  The one shower that worked was weak but the temperature didn't fluctuate so it was ok.  Overall I was disappointed I didn't make our reservation at Sunset Bay State Park.

      Pros:

      -Close to nice beaches like Bastendorff and Sunset Bay.

      -I got cell reception at our campsite.

      -The bathrooms and the one shower were kept clean.

      -There is a playground and an open field with a view of the ocean.

      -Not many insects in the park; no mosquitoes.

      Cons:

      -The bushes between the campsites are small and thin and there aren't many trees, so there's no privacy and not enough trees to hang a hammock.

      -The loop with the tent sites is right next to Beach Bound RV Park where you may hear the serene sounds of a backhoe scraping up rocks, truck engines, or guys cutting logs with chainsaws.

      -The men's bathrooms: the doors on the stalls don't lock and there are no (working) hand dryers or paper towels.

      -Most of the showers were out of order.

      -There are no gray water disposal drains like I've used at other campgrounds to wash dishes.

      -There is a foghorn nearby that woke me up one foggy morning.

      -There was trash in the bushes at our site as well as small bits of litter throughout the campground.

      -The tent sites are just sandy dirt so when it rained everything got muddy.

      -There is no trail from the park to Bastendorff Beach; the beach is a short drive down the road.

      -The locals: while we were there in August someone nearby kept lighting off mortar fireworks around 10:00 -10:30 pm, and one night someone drove by honking their car horn.

      Spacious sites, lush/tall foliage & great location

      This is one of the best campgrounds for RVs that you'll ever find; 30A power& water at each site and the foliage is super tall and thick, so you won't see the neighbors to your left& right. 

      The bathrooms are pretty decent, but there's only 1 and it's at the entrance; if you're in the lower section, put on your walking shoes or get an Uber if your RV doesn't have a toilet. The views are awesome and the place is generally sheltered from the wind, but I haven't been here in the winter when it's really blowing. There's a private section that goes to the jetty, but a ton of the neighborhood residents like to use it too, so you will see a lot of off-leash dogs. 

      Park caretaker is super helpful and they regularly clean the bathrooms and showers.

      Kids kids and more kids

      Another huge Oregon state park campground. We were in loop H, which is the farthest loop from the entrance. These sites were closer together than the previous state park campground were we stayed, but our site was still fairly private with shrubs on one side and trees on the other. We arrived about 10 minutes after the 4pm check-in time, which was a first for us, and there was a short line to register. People also had to wait for us to back into our spot, but nobody was rude or anything. As this park is inside the Oregon Dunes National Recreation area, it was a point of entry for people to take their ORVs out and run around on the dunes. I was a bit worried that the sounds of motors revving and racing about wasn't going to stop, but it did. The last noise I heard was probably around 9pm. This park is very family oriented and kid friendly. We took our toddler to the playground, which she loved, but there were a lot of bigger kids there who were not being supervised so it was a little bit hectic. We finally had to leave to avoid our child getting bowled over by some elementary age boys who were not respecting or paying attention to other people's space. There was another family with a little guy too who left the playground shortly before us. I realize that the campground/state park can't control what ages of kids play at this playground and all kids are welcome to play there. Just be aware if you have toddler age littles, there is no separate area for smaller kids and not everyone supervises their children. This was a very nice campground and if you are a person who has ORVs, this would definitely be a great destination.

      Could’ve been so good 🥲

      This area was easy to get to with Apple Maps which was great, however there was only one open site - after settling in it became clear that the other sites were more permanent setups….. there were cars coming and going all night, one in the dark going easily 50mph almost hit us. Would not recommend in its current state for people looking for calm camping.
