Camp hosts were fantastic! Neighbors were very friendly and respectful and the site was perfect. Loved my mini-getaway and maiden trip with the new rooftop tent.

I love how the campsites are a nice size. Even though we don't have anything to ride in the sand, it is still a nice place to camp. The beach is right there to fish or do whatever you want. Pelican Brewery is not far away if you want to get something to eat and enjoy the scenery.

We stayed at campsite #72. This will be our 3rd time at this spot. Its surrounded by trees on the back side of the campsite which makes it more private. Bathroom is right across from campsite but far enough away no odors. Bathrooms were very clean the whole stay. The camp hosts cleaned them daily. The campsite is huge compared to others I would say about 8 tents could fit there. Limited shade for tents. Quite campsite less traffic as it it in a cold de sac loop in the back. Overall best spot at campground and if you like close to bathrooms and less traffic passing your campsite this is the spot.

Very noisy campground. Great if you like OHV, ATVs or Side by sides. Everyone comes here to ride the dunes.

This is our 5th year coming here with our kids and large family. We have been in several spots around the campground and have been happy with every location. The camp hosts are AMAZING!!!!! Very nice couple that were pleasant to speak with, addressed any issues we found, they came to us for clarification on matters that we did not bring to their attention, and were diligent with defusing problems. This is the only place we feel the safest bringing our kids to. We always make an attempt to visit with Travis, Sandlake Protection Officer, because he followed up with us due to my sister flipping her quad several times 2 years ago. The staff, since then, remembers us and we always make time to visit with them. My family and I are thinking of coming to Sandlake a couple of times a year instead of just in August. This is our home away from home. The campground is always clean and bathrooms stocked with essentials. Thank you for another memorable experience. See you next year!!!!!!!!The camp host installed Starlink at their spot that allows campers to access the internet to make emergency calls only! Besides this, there is no cell service in the campground and you have to travel to sunset hill to get reception!! :)

A great place to camp and drive on the beach but we only came to overnight. The noise was unbelievable from some of these ORVs with modified exhaust systems. It quieted down pretty good at a reasonable hour with an occasional ORV starting up. Not bad for camping in a parking lot.
@AndrewD2287388 · Camped on Jul 30, 2025 at Campsite #76
This campground was a great find at the last minute when all others nearby were full. Don't be expecting a nice quiet stay, this is where all the ATV campers stay to access the dunes. It can be quite loud even late into the night. Besides that we had a great stay. Note: you must reserve online, you can do so at the entrance by connecting to the nearby wifi but otherwise there is no cell service.

We like the activity and family fun found at Sand Beach. We aren't ATVers but like to watch them. This year the abuse and disregard for rules is distressing. In the 2 weeks we were there we saw law enforcement drive by once and all around the were ATVs doing wheelies and racing around the CG breaking the speed limit and going the wrong way on 1 way streets. More than 1 site had more than 16 people up to 6 cars parked on the pad and on the Sand where they are specifically prohibited. Adults driving around children ages 2 and up without helmets. With cuts to FS staff I don't blame the FS but if you can't operate the CG safely then maybe it should be closed

We had a great little getaway at Sandbeach Campground. I was pleasantly surprised as I imagined it was going to be rather loud due to the OHV vehicles, which is the reason why we came for my husband but not my cup of tea haha! We had a lot of fun, the campground hosts were top notch, very helpful & nice. Everyone we encountered was really friendly and right at 10pm the campground was silent which I appreciated. Definitely a campground for families having some fun out on the sand dunes.
@CherylP9442921 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #36
Went to camp, ride quads, relax, walk on the beach...........SUCCESS!!
@CaitlinA838177 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #69
We needed a cheap place to stay after an event on the coast and this was the only place with availability. We quickly discovered why. This is NOT the place to stay if youre a fan of such frivolous things as sleep, peace & quiet, being able to hear yourself think, etc. This is apparently the ATV capital of the universe. It was just an endless parade all around our campsite of people whose daddies didnt ever tell them I love you blocking out their sadness with the revving of engines and screaming at people in other campsites as they passed. Until they finally passed out in a pile of childhood regrets and adult overcompensation at around 2AM. Which, man, we all got issues, you gotta do what you gotta do to cope, and if thats what makes you happy, great. Personally, I am just glad alcohol and earplugs exist, without which I wouldnt have gotten any sleep. Also, our campsite had some garbage and the bathrooms were in need of some maintenance; the hand dryer in the womens room was fully busted, no soap in the mens room. We went to the day use fishing area once we packed up and it felt like going home after a concert. It was a surprisingly peaceful and beautiful spot, though our ears were still ringing from the endless roar of engines, reduced to just a distant, dull hum in this area. You definitely will NOT find peace and quiet at your campsite, but the silver lining is that you wont have to go far.I didnt have a bad time altogether, honestly. Definitely not a place Id book again, but if you are planning on going camping specifically to have a party, youll blend right in. This is your spot! And the sandy campsites were pretty big and comfy.

First let me say that we love staying at this campground! We have a side by side and bring it down here several times each summer. Here are the pros: 1) We love that we can just drive right out of the campground and right up to the ATV beach driving area without having to load our side by side onto the trailer and drive down the road somewhere. 2) The secluded beach access out the opposite side of the campground for a non-vehicle allowed area. Its almost like a little lake where the ocean water comes in, but we dont have to be right up on the beach with crashing waves. We have two little kids and thanks to the calm in this spot it is a great place where the kids can swim and build some sand castles while Mom relaxes to a good book. 3) There is a general store just 5 minutes down the road. While it isnt a full blown grocery store, it is a great place to go grab a new bag of ice or a new little propane tank. 4) Most of the spots have pretty good space and we love the double parking pad at each campsite. Weve gone down there for several years now and have a list of our favorite sites that we try to book based on a few factors that are important to us, but there are very few bad spots in the whole place. Both our truck and trailer fit with room to spare to let our youngest ride his scooter and draw with chalk in the sites driveway. Here are the few cons: 1) I wish it had its own playground. The playground is across the road and is right by where the ATV beach entrance is. Its scary with little kids play 10 feet from those vehicles driving by. 2) Make sure to bring your own hand soap; they dont keep any in the bathrooms at this location. 3) Sometimes there is a good camp host that keeps the sites and bathrooms clean, but sometimes there is not so be prepared for either. 4) BEWARE OF THE SQUIRRELS! They will eat ANYTHING (yes that includes paper towels and garbage bags) and arent afraid of anything.

Lots of noise
@SteveR5952407 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #49
really love it have been going there for years ....kids always like it there wish where some hook ups
@EricaL19718AFE · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #63
~Pros: Great site size . Next to day use beach. Close to trash and water. Trash not to close so it wont smell. Bathroom is close enough. Shade under trees to place tents. Enough room for 4-5 tents in shade. ~Cons: lots and lots of ants. Compared to other sites Ive stayed at 12 sites. But youre outside so its expected. **No privacy at this site your out in the open. We had 2 canopies so had privacy. Over all had a great time and this site was good.
@BrettA4030133 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #66
Very simply put, the bathrooms are not hardly being maintained anymore, but campground hosts are no longer placing reservation placards on the site, the entire facility has no first come first serve. The groundskeepers are not trimming the trees back enough, and have caused damage to not only mine, but my friends trailers. There is absolutely no places to dump gray and black tanks before you leave. We pay a lot of money every year in vehicle fees, and camping fees there should be some sort of facility to be able to accommodate the dump.
@BrianH4556502 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #42
A dump station would be nice.
@KeithW1632645 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #14
We came on the Sunday after the Friday July 4th holiday. While the campground was pretty full, the dunes and parking lot camping were packed and crazy. The volunteer camp hosts for Sandbeach were excellent, very nice and polite even after the very hectic couple of days. The campground was clean and the spots are spaced well apart and offered plenty of shade where we were. One of my favorite campgrounds to visit.
@JanetW4253372 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #57
Way too many people are allowed in on the holiday weekends, and basically anytime anymore. Too many cars too many people it's not even safe to go out on the sand. It is ridiculous that they cannot do a permit system or have better control of the people and the noise and the quiet time, the camp hosts are useless, the Rangers don't go through the campgrounds, it is just wild west and No Holds Barred and no rules. I have been going for over 20 years and have seen the change. I'm not a newbie who does not know what Sand Lake is about which is ATVs which is noise, I know that but this is beyond Way Beyond what is tolerable
@CeliaC0E8C63A3 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #18
Being in Sand Lake is always a pleasure
@TimothyME17C73 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #34
Fantastic hosts and campsites! The beach is wonderful by the lake. Will definitely be back.A little noisy around Jul 4th with the SXS and 4.wheelers.but they behave well.
@MikeW4539708 · Camped on Jun 28, 2025 at Campsite #72
Rules were not followed regarding atv use after 10pm and fireworks. It seemed the hosts were not interested or able to enforce the rules.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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!!!
