GENERAL COMMENTS:
Elevation is 10 feet.
NOTE: The campground went on-line after the authors' visit to
this national forest All information provided by the Hebo Ranger
District office and a camper.
This campground is one of three in the Sand Lake Recreation Area
and is popular with ATV/OHV enthusiasts. There are three rows of
designated parking lot-style parking aprons with no views of the
Pacific Ocean. The surrounding dunes provide some protection from
the wind. Some sites on the outer row are along the sand and
provide an alternative to pitching a tent on the paved parking surface.
With no tables, and fire rings only on perimeter sites, campers often
bring their own portable raised fire grill. The slot-style
parking aprons in this campground are smaller than those in West
Wind but there is less traffic and wind to deal with in the
campground.
The campground is very popular for ATV/OHV 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. There is a NO Night Riding from midnight through 6AM.
Contact the Hebo Ranger District office for additional information and
permit. "As the crow flies," the campground is about 0.75 miles from
the Pacific Ocean.

The campground, one of three in the Sandlake Recreation Area, 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 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. There is an ATV loading ramp near the playground close
to West Wind Camp.
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.
There is NO night riding from midnight through 6AM. The permit may be
required for the entire holiday weekend. Contact the Hebo Ranger District

own portable raised fire grill. There are two accesses for
ATV/OHVs to the sand in the campground that means lots of
traffic during daylight hours.
