South Jetty Sand Camping

South Jetty Sand Camping offers a unique, rugged escape within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, home to the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America. Situated at a low elevation of just 39 feet, the campground provides a stunning backdrop of Pacific Ocean views and direct access to the shifting, sandy landscape. It is an exceptional destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest coastline.

The area is specifically tailored for off-road vehicle enthusiasts, featuring extensive designated routes and open riding zones immediately south of South Jetty Road. Beyond motorized recreation, the site supports a variety of outdoor activities, including tent, group, and dispersed camping. Guests can also take advantage of local fishing access and nearby hiking trails that wind through the dramatic dunes and coastal vegetation.

Operated by the USFS, this federal campground is open year-round and accommodates a wide range of setups, from tent campers to large RVs. While the sites are primitive with no hookups, the location is ideal for adventurous families and travelers seeking a basecamp for exploring the expansive Oregon dunes.
