    THE LAMP CAMP is an oceanfront RV Park and campground, for outdoor lovers to explore the longest beach in America. Nestled in the coastal forest, Long Beach, Washington is your next stop for a getaway.

    For us, travel is all about connection. When we travel, we reconnect with each other, we connect with the land and we connect with the new people we meet. But, sometimes camping feels a little like make-believe. We pack up a ton of stuff, drive it into the woods and pretend like we are alone– even when others are camping just a few feet away from us. 

    At The Lamp Camp, we want our guests to meet each other. We hope that our shared spaces foster new friendships. We’ve designed our camp as a place to connect, share stories and enjoy this pacific northwest wonderland, together. Everyone is welcome at The Lamp Camp. Whether you’re a Van Life explorer, an RV roamer or a good old-fashioned tent camper, we’re the perfect stop on your Pacific Northwest adventure.

     Our sites are nestled in the woods and connected by a winding path that leads to the ocean just 700 feet away. We look forward to days of lawn games, evenings of oceanside sunsets and nights of counting the stars with you.

    Just an hour’s drive west of Portland, the oceanfront town of Seaside is a convenient hub for exploring Oregon’s spectacular northern coast area, and all its attractions and activities. Start with the downtown Seaside area, which features a collection of shops, galleries and eateries featuring a Northwest–Pacific flair. At the end of the main drag is a wide sandy beach that invites sunning, swimming and surfing, and is popular for kite-flying. Just south of town, Ecola State Park is a wooded headland with hiking trails and sandy beaches. A little farther south, the small town of Cannon Beach—named in the late 1800s for the rusty cannon that washed ashore nearby—features a variety of cafes, eclectic shops, and fine art galleries. Just offshore of the town’s wide, sandy beach is Haystack Rock, a 235-foot-high volcanic sea stack. North of Seaside, the village of Astoria sits near the Columbia River’s delta on the Pacific Ocean. This historic town features a fascinating maritime museum, and the artistic Astoria Column, which offers panoramic views from atop its narrow, winding staircase. Located just minutes from downtown Seaside and its plethora of fish and chips shops, the Seaside RV Resort is an ideal base for exploring all of the area’s many sights and attractions. The resort features 260 year-round, back-in campsites with full hookups, flush restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, and recycling stations. Most sites are open and grassy; some sites and facilities are ADA accessible. A primitive tent camp is located in a wooded area away from the RV section, and there are cabins and cottages available for rent. The resort features picnic areas, kids’ playground, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, fitness center, spa, sports courts, mini golf, and a dog park. Guests are welcome to participate in group activities and enjoy live entertainment. Wifi service is available in resort clubhouses. Dogs are welcome, but must remain leashed outside of campsites.
