Hauser Sand Camping

Hauser offers 25 dispersed campsites in the heart of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Campsites sit directly on the sand, with designated off-road vehicle trails and open riding areas nearby, and the Pacific Ocean beach and a variety of small lakes are close by. These sites are only accessible to 4X4 vehicles on soft sand, so plan accordingly. Hauser is an outstanding destination for off-road vehicle enthusiasts. Thrillseekers have the opportunity to ride on designated routes like the Hauser Beach Sand Route, the Bark Sand Route and the Coast Guard Sand Route, or to explore the open riding zones, which feature the tallest dunes and widest vistas. The Pacific beaches are just a short ride from the camping area, with the Hauser Beach and Saunders off-road vehicle routes leading riders through the forest to the ocean. This area is also a great place for wildlife viewing. Campsites are located directly on the soft sand. The dunefield features tall and open dunes surrounded by coastal forest, with the Pacific Ocean lying to the west. To the north and south, visitors can find many small lakes and ponds, including Beale Lake, and a wide variety of wildlife species calls this area home. Head south to Coos Bay, a picturesque inlet where the Coos River flows into the Pacific Ocean; the scenic waterway provides an excellent habitat for sea birds. Standard sites can accommodate 5 vehicles and up to 20 people, and the group campsites can accommodate 10 vehicles and 40 people. Camp only within designated sites and within 150 feet of the site marker. Campsites are available year-round, though seasonal rainfall may affect them. No water is available, so campers should bring an ample amount, and because the campsites are primitive all campers must bring portable toilets and fire pans.
