Another great time at Sandbeach! Met the new hosts & they were friendly. It's nice to see the upgrades including the bathrooms.

Enjoyed the area! Restrooms very clean and accessible, staff on site were very kind. Felt safe and comfortable during our stay!

It was beautiful! We almost had the place to ourselves! Clean, quiet and close to the beach entrance.
@LarryR5427320 · Camped on Jan 25, 2025 at Campsite #52
Site was clean, fire pit needed a little tlc. Bathrooms used to be heated, not anymore. Bathrooms also needed a good cleaning. Neighbors were cool, not too loud.

It does the job. I visited the campsite for the weekend to witness the nearby king tides. I didnt stay for long except for sleeping at night. Other reviews mention the same thing; it can get noisy due to RV generators running continuously and ATVs driving by past 10 pm. If youre not interested in ATV/dunebuggy activities, theres not much to do there. However, thats okay. There was a bathroom with flushable toilets, and the site was flat and easy to access, so I didnt have any complaints.

we always like staying at sand beach but someone was in are spots and we had to find another spot to stay in are spots were not marked as persevered and the dates. that was the only issue this year.
@SergeyS1BF6E03 · Camped on Oct 18, 2024 at Campsite #55
I love that place
@RussellB587401 · Camped on Oct 11, 2024 at Campsite #9
If you do not have ATV/motorcycles, do not camp here. We left after one night. The vehicles go all night, and this spot is right where they all pass to go to the dunes.
@KevinE9018417 · Camped on Oct 11, 2024 at Campsite #21
Bathrooms and campsites were great no issues. This campground is clearly for sand buggies and motorcycle enthusiasts. Everyone was nice but clearly expect noise in the early morning and late evening. Great beaches too.
@KerrisahS63A15 · Camped on Sep 28, 2024 at Campsite #58
Too loud even after curfew. I get its for atvs and what not but the noise never ended.
@MargeryS1FAF20 · Camped on Sep 26, 2024 at Campsite #48
There was no camp host! The bathrooms had not been attended to..dirty and NO TOILET PAPER for the first two days we were there. The maximum 8 persons per site was not enforced, not even close! I spent hours picking up trash around my site with my grabber and still didnt get everything. Most likely never go back to this campground again.
@TennelleBA3CBF · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #1
Our campsite was clean. We were right across from the bathroom. Had a great time while we were there. We look forward to coming back again next year.

Got to Sand Lake at 2:55 for check in at 3:00 pm. People were in our spot we reserved months ago. Walked over to find no reservation dates posted on any of the reserved spot posts. Went over to park host to find there was no trailer or person in the park host spot. Went to the other section, again no park host. Walked over to the other section to find an off-duty sign but a guy walking back to his trailer. Spoke to him as he stated he would see if he could get over there and talk to them but that he had to go put out a fire that someone had left burning with high flames. We walked back to talk to the people in our site and they stated they weren't planning to leave. We told them that we had this site reserved for months. According to check out time they should've been out by 12:00 and it was past 3:30 by this time. There was another big group with them that were there in a different site with a trailer. Not sure if any of them paid to stay there and or if anyone is even checking or knowing when people come and go. They finally left our site and moved to a different one. With no host for who knows how long, no one writing the reserved dates on the post who is watching over this campground. Tuesday, we noticed a trailer and vehicle in the host spot. We were there from Sunday and left Wednesday. While we were there, the bathrooms across from our site WERE NOT CLEANED at all. Trash overflowing everywhere, toilet paper out, toilets/sinks NASTY. When camp host was parked there the sign was always marked off duty. I am unsure what their job duty is as a park host and or what they get paid to do. This was the worse experience here we have ever had. In previous years, the bathrooms were at least cleaned each day, posts were marked with dates, and someone was available for questions. It may not be a busy time of year but seems this place has gone downhill bad! We're inconvenienced and delayed check in/set up so had to cancel dinner and other plans. Why reserve/pay in advance?
@DaveH8980161 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #32
The campground has deteriorated. There are established rules an none of the rules are being followed. ATVs are being driven and parked on the grass areas of the campground. The direction of traffic flow is not being followed. Children are riding ATV,s unsupervised and speeding in the campground areas. There is no way to enforce the posted rules of the campground. If you say anything about the issues, you will only get anger applied to you. Really a sad campground as of lately. No one cares.
@PeteABDC0C8F39 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #6
Loud music and starting ATV engine every 1 hour till 3am in the morning. No body confronted them. Of course, there is no phone service to call 911.
@TobyPE1536206A · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #10
Easy to use
@DorisS2A575F1F · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #81
Someone was in my spot. It was Labor Day weekend and the place was packed. They werent home when I got there, so I just drove to Lincoln City area rather than mess with it. No camp host to help.
@RayU1EE47251B0 · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #19
We camped here beginning of September. With school starting it didnt seem too busy. The spots were nice a spacious. Nice trail out to the beach without a lot of people. There will be noise from recreational vehicles but it dies down at night.
@CaseyL422DB31E · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #73
This campgrounds was mostly fine but a handful of things made our stay less pleasant.The location itself is nice, with only 15-20min of driving down to Pacific City. Its Creek/Beach access is especially nice for exploring and wading.Upon arrive to our site we found lots of cigarette butts, partially melted glass bottles, and other various debris in the fire pit that had to be cleaned out. There were also lots of bottle caps strewn about the ground.Our particular site (73) was lacking in any particularly level spot so we had to deal with some slant in our tent setup. There was some shade towards the later part of the day but for the most part our site was in full sun most of the day. These things obviously wouldnt be much of a problem for those trailer camping.We arrived mid week and only dealt with some of the noise during the day of the quads, dirt bikes, etc. and the families who were there honored the quiet time of 10pm - 6am by not running there generators.We stayed until Saturday morning, and on Friday there was a fresh arrival of several new campers, all belonging to one group. The experience of multiple trucks, toy haulers, and trailers rolling into the sites was comparable to Taylor Swifts Eras tour in terms of commotion.It was the weekend leading into Labor Day, but the illegal mortars/fireworks being shot off inside the campgrounds, generators running all night, and loud music being played that on Friday made for a very frustrating experience. Especially the explosions at 2 in the morning.Flush toilets and running water bathrooms were a plus, but there was no soap in the mens room for washing, so we had to get some hand soap for ourselves on a trip into town. We might consider this location again for a midweek visit not during a holiday week/end, but otherwise well be looking for quieter sites to tent camp in.

Very good
@scottb3088469 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #71
The dunes were great at Sand Lake during our trip.Our camp site was clean, quiet, and had good access to and from the dunes. Restroom facilities were clean and stocked.Great place for entry level sand dune riding!
@RakeshWFF2ABAE · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #35
Dirty toilets, glass shards in fire pit, noisy..
@MadisonD793463 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #45
I booked my spots in February, showed up in August for my spots and the book one of them out again number 47. I called camp host and he told me it didn't say who it was booked to just that it was booked they couldn't pull up names or refund me. And there no phones service so I couldn't call the sight. So I have to pack 2 trailers and trucks into one sight. And was out the money i don't think I'll ever stay there again.
@GabrielK16BDB7 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #31
EXTREMELY LOUD!!!!!!!!!! We got here during the evening and it was still SOSOSOSO loud. Abour 90% of the lot was atvs and dune buggies. Your ears will literally rattle from the noise. We stayed for about an hour. Trying to walk to the beach without getting hit by these loud death machines.. Ended up turning around and LEAVING. We stayed at a very nice and QUIET first come first serve campsite in the area. God bless that campsite and wendy the host. DO NOT STAY HERE. 99% of the good reviews are from the dune buggy people.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
