The most popular method to explore the Dunes in this area is with an off-road vehicle. Oregon Dunes KOA is the only full service private campground at the south Dunes access which boasts convenient Dune access for off-road vehicles. It is a short 0.6 mile ride from your campsite into the dunes. From the Hauser Beach Access Road, you can reach the well-known challenges of Boxcar, V-8, Razorback, and other wild and woolly climbs. For different riding, follow the infamous whoopty-do road and you can ride to the beach, visit Spinreel, or ride down to Horsfall Beach. Come on in and see what we have to offer if you have an ORV enthusiast.

Our Dune Access Map will show you the way. It is 0.6 miles from the campground to the sand. We welcome off road enthusiasts at any time. Be sure to let us know the total length of your camping rigs when you make your reservations. This is the only way we can insure you have plenty of room at your site. We ask that you do not put wheels of any kind (excluding bicycles) on our grass. The campground is sand based and the grass is fragile. Your paddle tires destroy the grass with one pass. Please help us maintain our sense of humor and keep those wheels totally off the grass during your visit.

We also enforce a 5 m.p.h. speed limit within the campground and through the business next door - all the way to the rail road tracks. Following this speed limit is very important to the safety of our guests and for your camping enjoyment. We are a family oriented park and your vacation will not be a happy one if you hurt a child OR if we have to continually ask you and your group to slow down. We will ask you to depart early if you do not respect the rules of the park.

You will also be reminded not to ride your toys around the park. You ride from your site out to the dunes. If you follow these 3 rules, your stay should be enjoyable. (We have a few other rules that relate to common courtesy and local regulations. You can find those on the site map page).

Vist the Siuslaw National Forest (Oregon Dunes NRA) website. Here you will find the rules and regulations enforced by the Federal Park system to ride on the dunes.

We welcome all guests who wish to experience the dunes. For those who do not have their own off road vehicles, we have three local ATV rental businesses within 10 minutes of the campground. Far West Rentals will pick up our guests who do not have easy transportation to their doors. Located at our entrance, you can walk to Steve's ATV Rentals. When you book your reservation or at check in, we will tailor make our recommendations to fit your family's needs. Dune tours are another great way to have a 'Dune Experience if you do not wish to actually rent a quad or an odyssey. Dune tours can be arranged 45 minutes north of the campground.

For those wishing a calmer pace, you can explore the dunes on foot. Hiking trails are 15 minutes to 45 minutes from the campground by car. Ask at our office for hiking suggestions. Visit the GORP website for more information on the Oregon Dunes.
