2011 KOA Founder's Award
KOA Founder's Award
KOA's highest service award, presented to KOA owners that achieve world class service scores from their camping guests.
This KOA will make your vacation a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Come camp at the Oregon Dunes KOA, the only private campground on the southern Oregon coast with ATV/ORV access to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. You're just 15 minutes by car or 2 miles through the dunes on ATVs to flat beaches. ATV rentals and dunes tours are nearby. The campground store sells unique ATV-related T-shirts, gifts and supplies. For a change of pace, hike the dunes, visit local tide pools, whale watch or storm watch-all just a short drive from the park. Locals will tell you the best time to visit is in the fall. Summer events include kids' activities, hayrides and ice cream socials with 14 toppings. An Easter egg hunt and a Thanksgiving potluck / Christmas decoration competition round out other seasonal activities. Stop by and see two 2008 additions: ATSF caboose 999319 and SP caboose 1179. This KOA will make your vacation a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
June 15 thru Labor Day, kids and adults can enjoy summer activities, and everyone digs into ice cream socials (14 toppings!) nightly. Memorial Day Scavenger hunt, our 3rd annual Easter egg hunt and 9th annual Thanksgiving potluck/Christmas decoration competition are off season activities.
Book your site online. If you can not find the date you are interested in, be sure to call us! If you are willing to "site hop", we might be able to accommodate your dates and you get a free ice cream social coupon for each night you have to move sites!
See you soon!
Meet Your Hosts
The first thing you'll notice when you pull into the Oregon Dunes KOA Kampground is sand . . . and plenty of it.
But it won't take you long to see that this unique KOA Kampground has much more to offer than just great access to miles and miles of sand dunes along the beautiful Oregon coast.
"Campers may be tired when they get here and enter our office," said Kathy Gross, "But they will be smiling when they leave."
Owning a KOA campground was a retirement dream for the Gross family. But after spending more than 1,000 hours on heavy equipment moving sand when they built the campground in 1995, it fast became apparent that this would be a full-time "hobby."
"We're still building," said Kathy. "We sure aren't done yet!"
You'll likely see a lot of familiar faces on your return visits to this KOA, since it has one of the highest rates of return campers in the KOA system.
When they do find time for other interests, you'll find Fritz tinkering with old tractors and military vehicles, while Kathy will likely be riding her Arabian horse or working in her glass studio.
