Need AWD or 4x4

Excellent spot up 2 steep inclines. Some of the most beautiful views. Good fire ring. Do not attempt if wet.

Just pull offs

Only little pull offs that I found. Drove pretty deep into the forest and found a dead end spur. When back tracking the next morning I saw a few other campers camping close to where your gps will take you. This was a week day. Probably busier on the weekend.

Not great, not bad

It’s a small road through the forest with a few pull off spots along the way. Nothing particularly interesting here, just trees. Can be difficult to find a spot without having to drive pretty far into the forest.

Treacherous Road

The way Google took us go thus spot was terrible. Instead of keeping us on the gravel road, it had us drive through an overgrown dirt path. Thank got we didn't get stuck!

If you are going, stay on the clearly marked gravel road! It's long and winding, but it does have a fee pull outs to park in! It was very quiet, peaceful, and no wildlife bothered us!

Bigfoot country

I drove back in a few miles and camped along the road, in some old growth forest. It was dark, and I mean truly dark in there when you shut off your lights off, and silent as a tomb. Huge uncut trees, bad ass country! My Cane Corso bully dog made it much less spooky at night, not many things would want a piece of him.

Frequently Asked Questions

What facilities or amenities are available for dispersed camping in Siuslaw National Forest near Yachats?

Dispersed camping in Siuslaw National Forest offers minimal amenities. Some sites have established fire rings, particularly at the more frequently used pull-offs. There are no toilets, potable water, picnic tables, or garbage services available. The area is characterized by its remoteness and undeveloped nature. Campers should plan to pack in all necessary supplies and pack out all trash. The forest provides natural amenities like privacy, quiet surroundings, and old growth trees that create a deeply immersive wilderness experience.

What are the rules for dispersed camping in Siuslaw National Forest?

When dispersed camping in Siuslaw National Forest, stay on established sites at pull-offs rather than creating new camping areas. Camp at least 200 feet from water sources and away from trailheads. Pack out all trash and waste. Campfires are permitted in existing fire rings when there are no fire restrictions in place, but always check current fire regulations before your trip. Practice Leave No Trace principles by minimizing your impact. The standard Forest Service stay limit is typically 14 days within a 30-day period. Forest roads can be challenging, so vehicles with higher clearance are recommended for accessing many camping spots.

Where can I find dispersed camping spots near Yachats in the Siuslaw National Forest?

Dispersed camping spots near Yachats can be found along the gravel forest roads that wind through Siuslaw National Forest. Look for small pull-offs and designated areas along these roads. Some spots are located just a few miles into the forest, while others require driving deeper in. The forest has several pull-outs where you can park, with some campsites situated near old growth areas.
