Horse camping is the perfect way to enjoy Oakland. If you're an equestrian lover who prefers nature-based adventure, yet still wants comfort, this is the perfect opportunity for you. Camping with horses is a beautiful way to experience nature. With our help, you'll find the best Oregon equestrian campsites from scenic to easily accessible.
Wild Mare Horse Campground is located along the central Oregon coast, 22 miles south of Reedsport and 2 miles north of North Bend. Horse campers come here to explore the Wild Mare Horse Trail and take in captivating views of Oregon's Pacific Coast, which is just a half mile from the campground. Horse campgrounds have been designed to accommodate people who need to corral their horses. We have a limited number of these kinds of campgrounds and ask, out of courtesy and safety for you and the horses, to consider camping in a different campground if you do not have a horse.
Equestrian campers are fond of the Wild Mare Horse Trail #4500. This trail begins under a canopy of alder and spruce, and then emerges into an open dune area that crosses down to the beach. The dunes south of Horsfall Beach Road are designated for hiking and horseback riding only, while off-road vehicle enthusiasts can roam free on the dunes north of the campground.
Tucked away among shore pine, Douglas fir, and huckleberry, Wild Mare is part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, which is known for its wind-sculpted sand dunes towering up to 500 feet above sea level. The campground is less than 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean.
For facility specific information, please call (541) 271-6000.
Scenic water attractions are available in every direction from the campground. Head south to Coos Bay, west to the Pacific, and east to Horsfall Lake and Bluebill Lake.
Campsites that are not occupied after 24 hours of arrival time will be considered as a "no show" and sites will be released for others to reserve. If campers will be arriving after 24 hours of their arrival time, they are encouraged to call the ranger station at 541-271-6000 to let staff know.

Being here in the summer means dead grass and heat. We used it as a base so didn't spend much time there. I've been thru in the winter and it's much prettier. Host is very nice and showers and bathrooms are clean. Highway noise, otherwise quiet. Convenient for exploring the area and visiting friends.
ScoutThe campground is right off a highly traveled hwy without and natural barrier to prevent road noise. The sites are pretty close to one another. Still a good place for the night.

This is a horse camp, for people who have horses, NOT a car camp. It’s not fair that car campers are taking reservation spots away from horse campers. We can not just take our horses into car camps. The camp is left dirty with litter, there were gun shots Friday & Saturday night, an ATV drove through camp 50 mph at midnight. These people have no respect or etiquette for horses or children. All day & night ATV people were driving through looking for a place to stay. If you don’t have horses Stay out!!! Go camp on a dead end road.
ScoutWe arrived with our horses. And notice cars and camper are allowed to camp . Not a good mixture . Fire work going off all through the weekend and gun shots noticed the next morning the horse sign was shot up . Atv Across hwy so loud you could hear all night .Been camping here for 20 years . Will never come back not a safe place for anyone !!!!
LegendThis a more peaceful spot, without immediate engine noise but with plenty of room for human and horse at each site. It's a nice size to get to know a few neighbors - but not too many. I didn't have a horse to hop on, but I did notice a great mix of scenery to explore.
