## Overview

South Jetty, located less than two miles south of Florence, is an ideal
camping area for off-road vehicle enthusiasts. Visitors can camp, ride the
dunes, and take in memorable views of the Pacific Ocean. Several designated
off-road vehicle routes and an open riding area are present to the south of
South Jetty Road.

South Jetty is located within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area
(ODNRA). The ODNRA contains the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North
America.

**These sites are only accessible to 4X4 vehicles on soft sand. Please plan
accordingly.**

## Recreation

Off-road vehicle riding is the largest attraction here, with designated routes
and miles of open riding areas on the sand. From the nearby South Jetty Day-
Use Area, hikers can enjoy miles of open beach, with opportunities to view sea
birds and explore dune formations. The non-motorized section of beach is
separate from the off-road vehicle area. During certain times of year, whales
may be spotted in the ocean.

## Facilities

Sites can only be accessed by 4X4 vehicles. No water is available so campers
should bring an ample amount. Campsites are primitive and all campers must
bring their own portable toilets and fire pans.  
  
Standard campsites fit 5 vehicles and up to 20 people. The group campsite fits
10 vehicles and up to 40 people. Within each campsite, all vehicles and tents
must be positioned within 150 feet of the campsite marker post. Campsites are
available year-round (by reservation only) and reservations may fill up
quickly during peak summer season.

## Natural Features

Campsites are located directly on the sand and are dispersed amongst the
dunes. The nearby dunefield is known for its wind-sculpted sand dunes towering
up to 500 feet above sea level.

## Nearby Attractions

South Jetty is just south of Florence, which is a full service community
featuring restaurants, shops, and other activities. Additional hiking,
beachcombing, and off-road vehicle riding opportunities are available in the
Siltcoos Recreation Area, which is 6 miles south of South Jetty Road. For
boating and fishing, visit Siltcoos Lake, Carter Lake, or Sutton Lake.

## Contact Info

For facility specific information, please call (541) 271-6000.

## Charges & Cancellations

Campsites that are not occupied after 24 hours of arrival time will be
considered as a "no show" and sites will be released for others to reserve. If
campers will be arriving after 24 hours of their arrival time, they are
encouraged to call the ranger station at 541-271-6000 to let staff know.
