Sandbeach Campground is located in the Siuslaw National Forest, near Sandlake, Oregon, and is renowned for its off-road vehicle (OHV) access to nearly 1,100 acres of coastal sand dunes. The campground offers 81 sites, with amenities like drinking water, flush toilets, campfire rings, and an OHV loading ramp. It is part of the Sand Lake Recreation Area, which includes adjacent campgrounds East Dunes and West Winds. The area is also close to the Sand Lake Estuary, providing opportunities for fishing, swimming, crabbing, kayaking, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The climate is influenced by the ocean, with cool summers and moderate winters.
The campground is open year-round, but some sites flood during the winter months and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are required for certain periods, and an Oregon OHV permit is needed for riding. The nearby attractions include Cape Kiwanda and Pacific City beaches, offering a mix of natural beauty and recreational activities.
Sandbeach Campground is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor adventures, especially OHV enthusiasts, and provides a unique blend of coastal scenery and recreational opportunities.
