Riding guide
Highlights
A true dune-country horse camp where forest, beach, and Oregon Dunes drama come together in one of the state’s most photogenic rides.
Riding
The Wild Mare Horse Trail delivers contrast in the best way. It begins under trees, opens through dunes, and then pushes toward the beach, giving riders a route that feels cinematic and varied from start to finish.
Trailer parking
The campground itself is built for stock trailers, making it the natural staging base for riders heading onto the Wild Mare Horse Trail.
Horse regulations
Certified weed-free hay is expected, and riders should pay attention to beach and dune management notices, including any seasonal wildlife or motorized-area restrictions that affect where horses should travel.
Getting here
Wild Mare is one of those camps where the route in builds anticipation. Once you arrive, the equestrian focus is obvious: corrals, trailer-ready sites, and direct alignment with the trail system riders actually came for.
Planning your visit
Wind, sand, and changing coastal conditions are all part of the experience, so protect tack accordingly and review current notices before you go. If you want the Oregon Dunes on horseback without sacrificing a proper camp base, this is the one to prioritize.
Where to stay
This is very much a horse-camping destination, not a side note. The dedicated equestrian campground keeps the logistics clean and lets riders build a whole trip around dune-and-beach access instead of squeezing the ride into a crowded coastal schedule.
