Horsfall Beach Campground is located along the central Oregon Coast, about 2 miles north of North Bend. The campground is ideal for off-road vehicle riders and visitors looking to take it easy on the beach. Other activities in the area include hiking and horseback riding.
The campground is an outstanding home base for off-road vehicle riding on the dunes. Off-road vehicle trails and open riding zones are located due north and northeast of the campground. Visitors can also take in outstanding views of the Pacific Ocean from the campground's accessible viewing platform. Meanwhile, the beach offers a great place for beachcombing, sunbathing, and swimming.
Other nearby non-motorized opportunities include Bluebill Lake Trail and the Wild Mare Horse Trail (which is open to horseback riders and hikers).
Flush toilets, drinking water, trash collection, recycling, and an accessible beach viewing platform are on-site. Sites 1-23 have picnic tables and fire rings, sites 24-34 do not. The day-use area provides a paved parking area for pedestrian beach access. The self-pay station for this area is located on Horsfall Beach Road. There are no dump stations or RV hookups. This campground is 100% reservations only; NO walk up or "first come first serve" sites are available.
The campground sits on a beach along the Pacific Coast, within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Open sand dunes and extensive forested areas are located nearby. Horsfall Lake, Spirit Lake, Bluebill Lake, and a number of smaller ponds are also located to the east of the campground.
Explore Coos Bay, a picturesque inlet where the Coos River flows into the Pacific Ocean. The Bay provides an outstanding habitat for sea birds.

Large area with a lot of sand, great for long walks. It has a huge area of dunes and beach area for motor vehicles also. It cost 5 dollars for a day pass but it's worth it. One of the most beachy beaches on this part of the coast, less for sight seeing, more for taking in the beach.
This place is beautiful! However, it was also cold and raining the day I was there, so I want to go back and do more exploring soon. It is USDA and part of the Oregon Dunes, so there is a $5 day use fee per vehicle, or if you have the federal Senior pass, Access pass, or Interagency pass (I.e., for National Park Service, BLM, etc.) you can use that pass. There are also campgrounds on the way to the beach, but I didn’t drive into any of those.
To get to the beach you drive down a 2.5 mile road, through a green forest surrounded by sand dunes. I saw two deer on the road. At the end of the road is an access to the beach. The path goes up and the down, probably about 50 yards in length. There is a restroom with plumbing near the parking lot. A foot washing station is also available. The parking lot is very large. You can park long trailers here. There are some large shells to be found during low tide.
