onto Cape Kiwanda Rd. and go 7.9 miles to Sand Lake Recreation
Area sign (Galloway Rd.). Turn left onto Galloway Rd. and go 2.4
miles to campground sign. Turn left into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 50 ft.
The campground is nestled in sand dunes adjacent to Pacific Ocean.
While there, we sighted deer in the campground. Although not
visible from any of the sites, the ocean can be heard from most
of them. Site #70 is probably closest to the ocean, but even
from there we estimate it's at least a five minute walk over the
dunes. Many of the sites have "V" shaped aprons permitting one
to park the RV on one part and tow vehicle on the other.
Although all sites have a fire ring, most do not have a grille.
Not far from Sandbeach are two parking lot-styled campgrounds -
East Sand Dunes and West Sand Dunes Camp Areas. They are used
for overflow and large RVs; the fee is $5 per day. These areas
did not meet our criteria because there are no designated sites.
There are ATV loading ramps in both of these areas.
The campground is very popular for ATV/ORV campers who must have a
permit to use the vehicle on the 4th of July, Labor Day and
Memorial Day. The permit may be required for the entire holiday
weekend. Contact the Hebo Ranger District Office for
additional information and permit.
