Florence hosts the northern most section of the three main OHV access points of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, and is arguably the most beautiful and least crowded of the three. This section stretches from South Jetti to Siltcoos and boasts not only some of the largest dunes in the ODNRA, but some very unique vegetation and small groups of trees creating small forest areas in the sand. There are two entrance points to the OHV area, with day use areas and basic services available at the northern entrance, and Driftwood II campground to the south. Day use areas in the north are gated and locked overnight with hosts on site, but some primitive sand camping is permitted in designated areas with a pass. As with all areas of the ODNRA, camping reservations are strongly recommended, and holiday weekends are especially busy.
