Comments: This is a Popular NW Oregon Campsites OHV area with campground, dune and beach access. Adjacent to large sand dune area. It was perfect for our stay in late October. OHV use was light then and we had a huge amount of Beach to walk, virtually alone. The area gets Heavy use from OHV's riding the dunes during the summer, weekends and holidays.
