Need Camping spot in Florence
« on: June 09, 2007, 06:31:42 AM »

I need a spot in Florence to camp at the end of this Month. I would like to camp June 30th- July 3. If anyone can help me with a spot that has Dune Access please let me know.

Pat,
This is the reason we don't go to Florence much.  Hard to find a spot to camp that has dune access.
Winter months are cool to stay in the OHV loop at Honeyman.
You have to be a member to stay at Oddfellows.
I "think" there is dry camping (not out in the sand) available @ the south end of the Florence Dunes; but I have never stayed there so don't quote me on that.
There was a spot called Woahink (spelling?) about the middle of the dunes that had dune access.  We came across it one time while riding.  It was approx. 1-2 miles south of the dune access trail that leads out of Honeyman.  That was 6-7 years ago though - so I have no idea if it is still there/open.  It was just a little RV park.

Update:
We stayed here: http://www.sanddunesfrontier.com/camping.htm
this past weekend and I can say that I will definately be going back!
It is dry camping w/ no hookups but we were secluded in the trees in our own 4 spots; 52 a&b and 53 a&b.
Dune access trail is wide and not steep and this place is right next to Honeyman State Park.
No need to ride out to the good dunes from the northern 2 parking lots because you're already there!
The only downside that I can see is that it would be a bit muddy (mess) during rainy days in and around campspots, but the weather was perfect for us on Oct. 11 - 14, 2007.

In the Florence area you have Driftwood II campground which is a USFS Park with no hook ups but, does have bathrooms and showers.  It is located at the southern end of the dune OHV area.  Woahink is a private campground that has dune access.  The only limitation to this place is the access.  It is a narrow trail on the side of a dune the you side hill until you clear the trees.  Not friendly to kids that ride.  Then there is Honeyman which is only accessible by OHV during the off-season.  Then Oddfellows or sand camping.
