Reedsport is the gateway to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. This Recreation Area stretches from Florence to Coos Bay. That is over 40 miles of coastline. The highest dunes in the United States are found in this area.

The dunes and the ATV opportunities they provide are by far the largest draw to the area but not the only draw. There are miles and miles of unspoiled ocean beaches to explore from over 11 beach area parking lots.

To add to the mix of visitor attractions there are 30 lakes, 14 developed hiking trails, 13 campgrounds and over 10,000 acres of off-highway riding areas.

Visitor Center

Your first stop when you arrive in Reedsport should be the visitor center where your can find up to the minute information on attractions and activities. The Visitor Center is located at the junction of OR Highway-38 and US Highway-101.

You will find Chamber of Commerce staff as well as Rangers from the US Forest Service there to assist you with the information you need to enjoy your trip.

The lobby of the Visitor Center has interpretive displays of dunes geology, regional wildlife, and history of the local native people.

If you arrive early or late, the foyer is well stocked with free information and brochures of local attractions.

The Dunes and Parks in Reedsport

The dunes are an amazing place. There are no other dunes like these dunes in the world. Thousands of years of ocean waves and wind have developed dunes over 500 feet tall over 40 miles of coastline. The most amazing thing is that the dunes are not stable but an ever changing dynamic.

The sign shown in the photo to the left says, “Sand Camping…” You are allowed to just camp on the sand in certain areas of the park and here even a parking lot is provided. However, if you decide to camp in a campground don’t expect there to be nice clean dirt and some grass, no you will find sand everywhere and always moving in the wind.

And speaking of parks, there is even a skate park for the kids in Reedsport. See more information under Recommended Parks below.
