About South Jetty Sand Camping

Overview

South Jetty, located less than two miles south of Florence, is an ideal camping area for off-road vehicle enthusiasts. Visitors can camp, ride the dunes, and take in memorable views of the Pacific Ocean. Several designated off-road vehicle routes and an open riding area are present to the south of South Jetty Road.

South Jetty is located within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (ODNRA). The ODNRA contains the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America.

These sites are only accessible to 4X4 vehicles on soft sand. Please plan accordingly.

Recreation

Off-road vehicle riding is the largest attraction here, with designated routes and miles of open riding areas on the sand. From the nearby South Jetty Day-Use Area, hikers can enjoy miles of open beach, with opportunities to view sea birds and explore dune formations. The non-motorized section of beach is separate from the off-road vehicle area. During certain times of year, whales may be spotted in the ocean.

Facilities

Sites can only be accessed by 4X4 vehicles. No water is available so campers should bring an ample amount. Campsites are primitive and all campers must bring their own portable toilets and fire pans.

Standard campsites fit 5 vehicles and up to 20 people. The group campsite fits 10 vehicles and up to 40 people. Within each campsite, all vehicles and tents must be positioned within 150 feet of the campsite marker post. Campsites are available year-round (by reservation only) and reservations may fill up quickly during peak summer season.

Natural Features

Campsites are located directly on the sand and are dispersed amongst the dunes. The nearby dunefield is known for its wind-sculpted sand dunes towering up to 500 feet above sea level.

Nearby Attractions

South Jetty is just south of Florence, which is a full service community featuring restaurants, shops, and other activities. Additional hiking, beachcombing, and off-road vehicle riding opportunities are available in the Siltcoos Recreation Area, which is 6 miles south of South Jetty Road. For boating and fishing, visit Siltcoos Lake, Carter Lake, or Sutton Lake.

Snowy plovers, a threatened species of small coastal bird, has a designated nesting habitat on Siltcoos Beach. Beach access in the nesting area is restricted during Snowy Plover nesting season (March 15-September 15). The USFS coordinates with Oregon State Parks and beach goers to protect these threatened birds during a very sensitive time.

There is a 14-day in 30 rolling days camping limit on the Siuslaw National Forest. The 14 days does not have to be consecutive. The 14-day limit covers the entire Siuslaw National Forest and not just this campground as shown in the Rules Section .
