## Overview

Wild Mare Horse Campground is located along the central Oregon coast, 22 miles
south of Reedsport and 2 miles north of North Bend. Horse campers come here to
explore the Wild Mare Horse Trail and take in captivating views of Oregon's
Pacific Coast, which is just a half mile from the campground.

Horse campgrounds have been designed to accommodate people who need to corral
their horses. We have a limited number of these kinds of campgrounds and ask,
out of courtesy and safety for you and the horses, to consider camping in a
different campground if you do not have a horse.

## Recreation

Equestrian campers are fond of the Wild Mare Horse Trail #4500. This trail
begins under a canopy of alder and spruce, and then emerges into an open dune
area that crosses down to the beach. The dunes south of Horsfall Beach Road
are designated for hiking and horseback riding only, while off-road vehicle
enthusiasts can roam free on the dunes north of the campground.

## Facilities

This year-round campground is equipped with drinking water, vault toilets, a
picnic area, picnic tables, campfire rings, trash bins, and recycling
receptacles. Horses are welcome in the campground's 12 corrals.

## Natural Features

Tucked away among shore pine, Douglas fir, and huckleberry, Wild Mare is part
of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, which is known for its wind-
sculpted sand dunes towering up to 500 feet above sea level. The campground is
less than 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean.

## Contact Info

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

## Nearby Attractions

Scenic water attractions are available in every direction from the campground.
Head south to Coos Bay, west to the Pacific, and east to Horsfall Lake and
Bluebill Lake.

## 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.

## Overview

The Horsfall Sand Camping Area is an outstanding destination for off-road
vehicle enthusiasts. Sites are located directly on the sand at the southern
end of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. From here, adventure seekers
can experience the thrill of riding through vast open dunes or meandering
through designated sand routes surrounded by coastal forest. The tops of the
dunes provide prime views of the Pacific Coast to the west and the foothills
of the Oregon Coast Range to the east.

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

## Recreation

Horsfall is an outstanding destination for off-road vehicle enthusiasts.
Thrillseekers have a choice of riding on designated routes like the Bark Sand
Route and the Bull Run Sand Route, or cruising through the open riding zones.

Anglers can fish in Jordan Cove, which is the portion of Coos Bay that is
nearest to the campsites. Hikers can access the nearby Bluebill Trail for a
1.2-mile journey around Bluebill Lake. And last but not least, the beach along
the Pacific Ocean is only 2 miles from the Horsfall off-road vehicle staging
area.

## Facilities

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

## Natural Features

Campsites are located on the sand at the southern edge of the Oregon Dunes
National Recreation Area (ODNRA). This section of the ODNRA features tall sand
dunes surrounded by coastal forest. Several water bodies are nearby, including
Horsfall Lake, Bluebill Lake and Jordan Cove, which is a section of Coos Bay.
A wide variety of wildlife is present in the area, including coyote, black
bear, elk, mink, porcupine, and otter.

## Contact Info

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

Ocean, is a short distance south of Horsfall Beach Road. The waterway provides
an excellent habitat for sea birds.

Beach restrictions in effect March 15 - Sept. 15 to protect nesting western snowy plover

Located south of Winchester Bay, OR, this area is home to the tallest sand
dunes in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Umpqua Beach #2 Day Use
and OHV Staging Area provides parking and access for pedestrian beach access
as well as off-highway vehicle (OHV) staging for open sand riding
opportunities in the Umpqua dunes. A ride to the top of a tall dune offers
