About Siltcoos Sand Camping
Overview The Siltcoos sand camping area is located about seven miles south of Florence. This unique area is an off-road enthusiast's dream: Several designated off-road vehicle routes crisscross the dunes and forests, and there is also a large open riding area to the north of Siltcoos Beach Road. In addition to off-road vehicle riding, visitors can enjoy beachcombing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Siltcoos is located within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. These sites are only accessible to 4X4 vehicles on soft sand. Please plan accordingly. Recreation Off-road vehicle riding is the primary attraction in the Siltcoos area, with miles of designated trail and a large open riding zone. Elsewhere, Stagecoach Hiking Trailhead provides access to several non-motorized trails, including the accessible Lagoon Trail and the longer Waxmyrtle Trail. The Waxmyrtle Trail meanders through coastal shore pine forests and follows the Siltcoos River to the beach. Visitors also enjoy playing in the surf and birding at the beach. A variety of shorebirds are often spotted on the shore. Seasonal whale-watching is also a popular activity. Facilities There are 16 sand campsites in the Siltcoos area. The campsites are year-round and can only be accessed by 4X4 vehicles. Standard sites accommodate up to 20 people and five vehicles. The group site accommodates up to 40 people and 10 vehicles.
