Horsfall Campground, tucked in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, provides access to miles and miles of dunes, beckoning off-road vehicle riding enthusiasts. The unique landscape creates a contrast between the dry dunes and a number of watering holes. The campground sits within a mile of Horsfall Lake, Bluebill Lake and a selection of tranquil ponds. Recreation The number one activity is off-roading on the dunes. Trails and open riding zones are northwest of the campground. Due west is the beach and the Wild Mare Horse Trail, open to hikers in addition to horseback riders. Facilities Amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, trash collection, campfire rings, and recycling. An ATV loading ramp is also available. Picnic tables and grills are at each campsite. Coin-operated showers are temporarily closed. We apologize for any inconvenience Natural Features At an elevation of 100 feet, Horsfall sits in a valley of dunes near the Pacific Coast. The Haynes Inlet is a short distance east. Just over a mile away visitors can reach the Haynes Inlet, extending from Coos Bay, and the Pacific Coast. Nearby Attractions Explore Coos Bay, a picturesque inlet where the Coos River flows into the Pacific Ocean. The waterway is about 3 miles wide and 10 miles long, creating a flourishing habitat for sea birds. ADA Access: N

Nice place to take long exploring walks. Ideal if you have off road vehicles! The camp host is very nice. Love waking to the sound of the engines of the quads starting up in the early mornings.
The campground was kept tidy and the bathrooms although old and in need of updating were kept clean. The host was a nice gentleman with kids who just asked us to be kind and neighborly. He warned us about theft and we made sure to lock everything up ( generators, quads & cars).
The dunes were so extremely choppy we had a rough time on them. We had to be extremely mindful of staying to the side of dunes (we have youth riders), sending a spotter and mindful of what size trail we were on. Our last day a member of our group was in a head on with a side-by-side on a trail. Lucked out with bumps and bruises, and a busted A-Arm on his quad. Overall for these dunes, we will be leaving them to the side-by-sides and not coming back.
*****update review ****** We Used to love coming to this camp site. We came to this campsite recently 2 weeks ago and found out the camphost Carter was no longer a host. 1st we try to make do. Come to realize the restrooms weren't being clean and the new campost wasn't very friendly or nice. New camp host was rude! The old camp host used to back us up into our camping space the new one is not very helpful at all. We miss the old camp host!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭)Carter and Donna We miss you! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭************************The campgrounds is small.the restrooms have showers you pay one dollar for 5 minutes. Coin showers. The showers are for short people. The restrooms are very old. No mirrors really in restrooms just a Metal plate. Campsites very narrow parking can be hard. Didn't care for the campsite as much but the Dunes was amazing and fun. The Dunes are very long and gos on for miles. We enjoyed our time here. The campground host was wonderful and very helpful. Very wonderful family running the campgrounds. Kid friendly and pet friendly. Tent camp and trailers. No hookups. Great place to visit. Please lock up your camping gear, generators and atvs. Alot of theft at this camp ground. It's a good idea to get to know who you are camping next to and keep a look out for each other.
