Umpqua Sand Camping

Umpqua Sand Camp sites are dispersed along a sandy beach on the Pacific Coast. All sites can only be accessed by 4X4 vehicles. No water is available so campers should bring an ample amount. Campsites are primitive and it’s recommended that all campers bring portable toilets and fire pans. Standard sites fit five vehicles and up to 20 people. The two group campsites fit 10 vehicles and 40 campers. Umpqua Beach #2 Day Use & OHV Staging is the access point for sand camping sites 31 to 40. Umpqua Beach #3 Day Use & OHV Staging is the access point for sand camping sites 41 to 57. Campers with trailers and RVs are asked to enter the sand at the large south-facing access point provided next to the restrooms. Site numbers 33 and 54 are group sites. Campsites are available year-round and reservations may fill up quickly in peak summer season. Umpqua is noteworthy as home to the tallest sand dunes in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Off-road vehicle riding is a huge sport here and visitors are rewarded with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean from the tops of the dunes.
