Thousand Trails Long Beach

The campground is only a short walk into town and only a few hundred yard from the beach. Staff is friendly and facilities are clean.

The rv park looks like it’s in disarray. Muddy sites, standing water in every site. Just a muddy mess. All odd number sites have to have extra long sewer and water hoses. There is only one post for water and sewer, and the odd numbered sites must run their hoses under their rv to the post.

I'm going to say we had a great time here for our 10-day stay... partially because of the space we got... read on...

Let's just say... on your way in there may be quite the squabble when parking. The spaces are very tight at 90 degree angles to the road. This requires backing skill level 10! The north side and middle give little room for it, and the south side has an area that at least gives some wiggle room. Check there first if you're not sure of your skill. While doing this everyone seemed very friendly and accommodating. They had to do it too.

The next thing to look for... EVEN NUMBERED SPOTS! The odd numbered spots all have the sewer on the wrong side requiring a very long sewer hose extension that the hardware store nearby does have. Denis's Ace Hardware! I will say though... good luck finding an even numbered space. This place is busy, they're probably all already taken. It does seem like laziness of the park owners to not do some simple trenching and piping to fix this issue. Either way, get here at check in. The later you come the more likely you'll get the last space available.

We got lucky and parked at the end by the dog park in an odd spot. The gentleman behind us was in an even spot and had us pull into it when he left the following morning. We barely had to do any backing at all as we just drove through our old spot into his. My opinion on spots... that even numbered one across from the dog park (space 90) is the best and has a good amount of private room due to the tree there.

Now that setup is complete... the rest of the review...

The park is a little cramped but in a fantastic location! Just a quick 5 minute walk to the beach. The sunsets are beautiful! The staff were all super friendly as were every single person we met at this park. We met quite a few full timers with great information! I can't describe the facilities much as we didn't use them. Everything looked well kept though. The little dog park was a great place for our Husky and Corgi to be off leash for a bit. Plenty of state parks around and Long Beach and Astoria are cute nearby towns.
