You can join a dunes tour or rent your own equipment.

If you don’t have your own sand toys don’t worry. Dunes create epic off-road conditions for ATVs. This is where the dunes extend for miles away from the shoreline. There are two areas, one on the southern coast and one along the northern coast. Even on the busiest holidays they are never crowded like East Coast beaches. Many beaches are wide open and waiting to be explored. At the mouth of the Columbia River, on the Washington side of the River just north the Astoria Bridge. After all, the water is cold even during summer. The Pacific surf along the Oregon Coast is known for great surfing. Others are a short walk or drive to the beach. Many of these campgrounds have stunning views of the ocean. Public and private campgrounds all along the coast are ready to make visitors feel welcome. From Astoria to Brookings, the surf pounds relentlessly on the beaches, rocks, headlands, and shoreline. But you still find geographical differences along Oregon’s 338 miles of coastline. The entire western flank of Oregon is defined by its Pacific coastline. While camping in Oregon, you can stay on a 5-000 foot high desert plateau, on open prairie grasslands, in dense old growth Douglas Fir forests, in the Willamette Valley near all the urban excitement-or you can camp with an expansive view of the Pacific Ocean. Oregon’s diverse geography offers RVers a wide assortment of views, terrain, activities, and climates. The Forest Meets the Ocean at Oregon RV Campgrounds
