Campsites are located directly on the sand. The dunefield is known for its wind-sculpted sand dunes towering hundreds of feet above sea level. Throughout the Siltcoos area, open sand dunes are interspersed with coastal forest. The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area features the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America. Snowy plovers, a threatened species of small coastal bird, have a designated nesting habitat on Siltcoos Beach. Seasional closures apply.
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.
Nearby: Additional nearby hiking opportunities include Siltcoos Lake Trail, Taylor Dunes Trail, and Tahkenitch Creek Trail. For a change of scenery, off-road vehicle enthusiasts can check out the riding areas at South Jetty. For boating and fishing, visit Siltcoos Lake, Carter Lake, or Sutton Lake.
