In the agency’s own words

Horsfall Campground, located in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, provides access to miles and miles of dunes. These dunes are open to off-road vehicle use, making this area a prime destination for adventure seekers looking to ride on the sand. The campground also sits within a mile of Horsfall Lake, Bluebill Lake, and a handful of small, tranquil ponds. Keep reading

Recreation

The campground is an outstanding home base for off-road vehicle riding on the dunes. Off-road vehicle trails and open riding zones are located northwest of the campground. Horsfall Beach is located to the west at the end of Horsfall Beach road. Nearby non-motorized opportunities include Bluebill Lake Trail and the Wild Mare Horse Trail (which is open to horseback riders and hikers).

Facilities

Amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, trash collection, and recycling. An ATV loading ramp is also available. Each campsite contains a picnic table and a campfire ring with a grill.

Natural Features

At an elevation of 100 feet, Horsfall sits in a valley of dunes near the Pacific Coast. Horsfall Lake, Spirit Lake, Bluebill Lake, and a number of smaller ponds are located nearby. The Haynes Inlet is a short distance east, and Coos Bay is to the south. The climate at Horsfall Campground is typically mild year round.

Nearby Attractions

Explore Coos Bay, a picturesque inlet where the Coos River flows into the Pacific Ocean. The Bay provides an outstanding habitat for sea birds. Contact Info For facility specific information, please call (541) 271-6000.

Charges & Cancellations

Campsites that are not occupied after 24 hours of arrival time will be considered as a "no show" and sites will be released for others to reserve. If campers will be arriving after 24 hours of their arrival time, they are encouraged to call the ranger station at 541-271-6000 to let staff know.

Who keeps the booking fee

The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

The agency files 33 more records here that aren’t sites for the night. It types every one of them MANAGEMENT rather than a campsite. They’re in the table above, marked for what they are, and none of them is counted as a site.

The records with no site name: Derived by CAMPANAC from the agency’s own campsite records: recreation.gov files some overnight records with no site name, only a row of X characters. A block is read as the campground’s own sites, filed without names, only where the agency types those records as campsites rather than MANAGEMENT, gives each one a coordinate, and their numbering continues the campground’s own numbered sites with no gap. Everything else is left uncounted, and where the evidence doesn’t decide the record is counted as no kind of site rather than guessed at · Sep 12, 2026

Price: Derived by CAMPANAC: each site takes the per-night rate this campground publishes for the site’s own site type (recreation.gov rate schedule). recreation.gov publishes no per-campsite fee, and a site whose type carries no published rate is left blank rather than called free · Sep 11, 2026

Sites on recreation.gov: recreation.gov’s own month availability payload for this facility, asked for October 2026, November 2026 and July 2027.
