This year-round campground is equipped with drinking water, vault toilets, a picnic area, picnic tables, campfire rings, trash bins, and recycling receptacles. Horses are welcome in the campground's 12 corrals.
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.
