About

Wild Mare Horse Campground is located along the central Oregon coast, 22 miles south of Reedsport and 2 miles north of North Bend. Horse campers come here to explore the Wild Mare Horse Trail and take in captivating views of Oregon's Pacific Coast, which is just a half mile from the campground.  Horse campgrounds have been designed to accommodate people who need to corral their horses. We have a limited number of these kinds of campgrounds and ask, out of courtesy and safety for you and the horses, to consider camping in a different campground if you do not have a horse. This year-round campground is equipped with drinking water, vault toilets, a picnic area, picnic tables, campfire rings, trash bins, and recycling receptacles. Horses are welcome in the campground's 12 corrals. Tucked away among shore pine, Douglas fir, and huckleberry, Wild Mare is part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, which is known for its wind-sculpted sand dunes towering up to 500 feet above sea level. The campground is less than 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean. Scenic water attractions are available in every direction from the campground. Head south to Coos Bay, west to the Pacific, and east to Horsfall Lake and Bluebill Lake. Equestrian campers are fond of the Wild Mare Horse Trail #4500. This trail begins under a canopy of alder and spruce, and then emerges into an open dune area that crosses down to the beach. The dunes south of Horsfall Beach Road are designated for hiking and horseback riding only, while off-road vehicle enthusiasts can roam free on the dunes north of the campground. For facility specific information, please call (541) 271-6000.

Availability at WILD MARE HORSE CAMP

CampFinder checks Recreation.gov every 30 minutes, around the clock, and emails you when a booked-up night opens back up. That catches most cancellations, which sit open for hours; at the few campgrounds that refill in seconds it can miss the race. Set up a free availability alert for WILD MARE HORSE CAMP.
