"Much smaller than South Beach State Park a few miles south, but in my opinion a more relaxed campground.
Campground is less open and more wooded than some of the other coast parks."
"Like most Oregon coast campgrounds, the summer months are very busy."
"There are only a few flat spots for RVs but quite a few decent spots for tent camping next to the pond. The west side of the pond has at least 2 spots that are a good distance away from the others."
"The sites are sling the right side of the of the road, the road that leads along the left (west side) of the lake. There are several sites, we stayed in H2, which is painted on the road."

"Horse Creek is a great site for horse camping. Only two sites are for non-stock campers."
"Just south of Yachats, highway 101 makes a sharp turn with a steep drop, down to the beach."
"Small (only a handful of sites) campground with a moderate walk to the beach. The campground host was very friendly!"
"Maybe it's for horse poo.
Good cell reception. Good location, far enough away from Hwy 101 so you don't hear cars, but it's still easily accessible."
"When all other nearby campgrounds were full, we came here. Great spot in between Florence and yachats."
"So much better than those CGs next to highways and RRs"
"Dump station nearby. We were visiting relatives in this area, so really only need a safe place to park the rig. This worked out fine."
"Nature trails. Canoe. Kayak. Fish."
GuideMuch smaller than South Beach State Park a few miles south, but in my opinion a more relaxed campground.
Campground is less open and more wooded than some of the other coast parks. Beach is very close via a short trail under the highway bridge and can be seen from A loop. The proximity to the water makes the sunsets better here than at some of the other campgrounds.
This campground isn’t within walking distance of any other attractions, but a nice nature trail around the camp and the beach is really all that’s needed here. The visitor center provides a nice history of the beach and how it got its name.
And speaking of the beach... FOSSILS! Literally everywhere on this beach. Nearly every rock and cliff face is littered with marine fossils of varying types and sizes and you can often find individual fossilized shells that can be collected.
Beverly Beach is also popular for agate hunting along the gravel bars, particularly after big storms that uncover new stones.
LegendThis is a little hidden gem as it is not well marked on maps or along highway 101. There are only about 5 campsites(not including the possible equestrian site on the other side of the parking lot), and they are not equally level, spacious, or private, but it is taken care of by a full time host and you are close to the beach and dunes. Be prepared for a hike through deep shifting sand dunes to get to the beach. And watch out for horse poo as this is a busy horse path the local stable takes to the beach. Expect some dust from the gravel road and lot. While here I took advantage of the rental stable and got to ride on the beach; pretty cool experience!
ScoutHorse 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!
GuideWhen all other nearby campgrounds were full, we came here. Great spot in between Florence and yachats. Close to heceta light house, right before sea lion caves, and close to hikes and away from crowds. Unfortunately it was full so we just dry camped for free down the road in a pull out. Corrals for horses, not a lot of water but pit toilets and away from road noise in the forest. The turn into this road from Highway is a sharp one and immediately uphill. Probably not for anyone towing large trAilers but if your skilled you can try it out.
GuideVery clean but tiny campground near the beach. Designed for equestrian use but no restrictions posted for other campers. Lots of trails, good turn around, tables & fire rings. No water but a pit toilet. I think Someone is living here but very clean and no trash. We came in between rain showers and it was just us and the other tent. It's a maybe 1/4 mile walk to the beach over dunes. Very lovely place.
GuideJust south of Yachats, highway 101 makes a sharp turn with a steep drop, down to the beach. It might be the precarious position that keeps this campsite quiet -- it's unmarked and you'll miss it if you don't slow down. The sites are located about 3 miles up a dirt road. There are about ten spots, each with a corral for your horse if you have one. The thick forest of trees make each spot peaceful and private.
GuideSmall (only a handful of sites) campground with a moderate walk to the beach. The campground host was very friendly! Most of the sites open up into a shared circular area but it still felt very private and nice! The walk to the ocean was through soft/deep sand (watch out for horse manure as there are horse tours happening nearby).
ScoutThis is a horse camp not a car camp. If you don’t have horses you should not be taking up a spot with horse corrals! OET horse group paid for all the gravel on road, put up all corrals, and fixed the water trough. It is not fair that people are taking up spots from horse people. We can not just take our horses into a car camp. The homeless are camping all over the roads making it hard to pull trailers by. They are littering and pooping all over the trails. The bathrooms are nasty & people drive in & out parking in the middle of lot making it so horse trailers can not get through. Not right! Keep this horses only!
ScoutAfter accidentally reserving the wrong campground, we were pointed in the direction of Horse Creek. Access to it is up an unmarked dirt road, about 10 minutes from 101. It's truly out in the middle of the woods, with campsites meant for campers with horses but it worked perfectly for our tent camping. Pay on site, no campground host. Vault toilets.
Oregon offers a fantastic experience for horse camping enthusiasts, with a variety of campgrounds that cater to both equestrians and their four-legged companions.
