Siuslaw National Forest Dispersed Camping

This spot has more than enough room for multiple vehicles and tents. However, there was quite a bit of mud when we arrived because it had rained recently. If it's dry then there is even more room. There was plenty of firewood but we had to get the fire going before burning the wet stuff. There are clay pigeons and shotgun shells around but they are pretty easy to ignore. The night sky is vivid and there are many little forest roads around to explore. The site is about a 20-minute drive from the beach by Pacific City. Perfect place to camp if you wanna hop in the car and go to the beach for a day as well.

Decent Established Dispersed Camping Spot

This is for dispersed camping in the Siuslaw NF off Forest Road 55, off 101. Turn into 55 from 101 between Thor’s Well and Devil’s Churn. There is a FS paid campground (Cape Perpetua Campground) right off FS 55. 

If you follow 55 about 10 miles in, there are lots of established boondocking spots at around 4000 elevation. Additionally there are unmapped logging roads which can also be explored for camping.

Scenery is spectacular, lots of wildlife, deer, elk, coyote, and amazing old growth forests. No amenities of any kind, no cell service. 

Remote, wild, beautiful

The day that I got there they just graded the road and cleared a large parking area for road work equipment. Was a holiday weekend so they didn’t mind me camping there. Very quiet. Will be a large area that can hold 10 or more campers. No cell service.
