Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bay City, OR

Our stay at the Lincoln City Premier RV Resort was good.  The space was clean and the utility hookups were well maintained and functional.  And, staff were very nice and accommodating.  We upgraded to a pull through and in hindsight should not have.  It was close to the road, and many of the trailers in the pull through section appeared to be long term occupants, at least a couple left early in the morning for work and returned in the afternoon.  The location although easy to get both north and south from because it is adjacent to the highway, was in a part of town that seemed a little economically depressed.  I would have rated it higher but for the price, I expected more.  UPDATE  We visited this park for a second time in 2023 and selected a back in site near the north east section of the park and loved it.  We are changing our rating to five stars.

We spent A few days over the New Year 2021 holiday. We new the weather would be raining with New Years Eve mainly dry. Hit that just right. The Beach was a lot of fun, the dogs loved it and The town of Pacific City is nice. As for the camping sites, the best part is they are mostly all private and we loved that. The sound of the ocean was nice. Some sites have an ocean view. Full hook ups were not very well marked and frankly hard to find. There is only one bar 1x or 3g cell service. No WiFi unless you drive to the pool area. The spots are dirt, not completely level and the sewer hookup flooded.

We received the Thousand Trails membership free with our trailer purchase so it was worth the free price. Not certain I’d pay for it.

Just east of Hwy 101 in Cannon Beach, this RV resort is an easy (really!) 10 minute walk to the beach, just north of Haystack Rock. A sidewalk underpass under 101 and a path through a small city park makes it a family-friendly, dog-friendly walk to the outstanding beach sunsets. A bit longer walk (or easy bike ride) takes you into the heart of Cannon Beach with all the restaurants, ice cream shops, galleries, coffee shops and candy stores. Campground is open year round, has full hook-ups, good wifi, well managed and maintained, has an indoor pool and hot tub (pool facility was closed during covid, check on availability) decent bath houses (also closed during covid), nice sites with lots of tall trees. They also sell propane, firewood and have a gas station. (And they even have an electric car charging station, if you need it) Fun fact: In the winter months you will likely see the local elk herd around town. Note: no tents allowed and our ATT service only has one bar at our site. Would definitely recommend this place for RV camping.

Very large RV/tent park with guard gate.
Open year-round, this RV Park is located in the town of Seaside on the Oregon Coast. Situated amid scenic views and historic sites, Seaside RV Resort offers guests opportunities for hiking, biking, whale watching, salt-water fishing and swimming. Located between Astoria and Cannon Beach with lots of attractions nearby like the Air Museum, the Seaside Aquarium and Lewis and Clark historical sites nearby.

We got a spot for our rv on “the cove” side and it was much more campground than rv park, cute and nestled into the woods around a small river and a couple trails. Super friendly staff and a few long-term residents. Maybe not the most updated amenities and 5g instead of wifi, but very cute and fairly spacious sites.

Tucked away in the trees of Cannon Beach is this nice little RV Resort. All amenities were top notch for your needs at a park. The Elk greeted us and were eating all the flowers as we entered. Gas station, propane, laundry, showers, convenience store, pool and two shower/restroom facilities. Paved parking spots with fire pit, picnic tables and full hookup.

I'm not a fan of drive-through/parking-lot-type RV parks, preferring national parks with lots of trees, but this place is nice, basic, friendly, and most of all clean. There's also some nice tent spots on grass/slightly under trees. A great location when you can't find more of a campground. The showers take quarters, which is a bit of a bummer, but overall just fine for a night or two. The location is great. Across the road from the beach, about a mile from Bay City and 5 from Tillamook.

Thisis a great rv park. Full hookups electric, water, sewer. indoor bathrooms with showers 1 blick from beach and casino

We followed our RV GPS right to the campground(CG). Up front, last January, we won 6 free nights at a Thousand Trails resort at an RV Life event at the Tampa RV Show. As we were wintering on the Oregon coast, we decided to try out the Seaside Resort based on the reviews. Our expectations were not met. We needed to come in a day early, making our total stay here 7 days, so our nighty rate was based on the charge for the extra night. We received an email giving us the gate code and telling us to proceed into the park, choose a site, get set up, and then go check in. We went to the north side where the 50 AMP hookups are located, and used the provided gate code to enter. It was raining the day we arrived, and we noticed a lot of the sites had standing water. We saw that site 158 was not flooded out, so we chose this FHU site. As we were setting up, one of the CG workers came by politely asking us where our truck tag was. We told him we had followed the email instructions to choose a site and get set up, then we would go over to the south side ranger station and check-in. He then asked us how we got through the gate, and we told him the gate code was in the email. He seemed surprised. After we set up, we went over to the check-in booth/ranger station and received our welcome and information package; they were not aware of the new email procedures. The water pressure was around 60 psi, so we used a reducer. The gravel site was not level, and we had to use blocks. The sites were very close together. We got 3 bars on Verizon and had a clear shot north for Starlink. We do not like to be negative, but the north side looked like a refugee camp. We are mainly talking about the center area, not the cul-de-sacs where the cabins and surrounding loops were located. Referring to the refugee comment, some of the rigs were very old/poor shape, and/or the long-term members didn't take care of their rigs or their campsite. While we were there, an old Cougar trailer came in with a screwdriver holding the entry door closed and a red condemned sticker on the other side. On the positive side, the indoor pool is nice, and there’s a good-sized dog area on the north side. There’s a gate at the entrance, and the water makes a natural fence around the area where you can let the dogs off-leash. The south side also has a smaller but nice fenced dog area. There’s a clean laundry room located on the south side that has 6 machines each and uses a kiosk to pay. The cost per wash and dry was$2 each. The workers and residents were very nice. Their shower facilities were updated and clean. This is a beautiful property, and Seaside could be a top-rated CG with north-side site upgrades, TLC, and tough love to move permanent residents on or make them clean up their sites.

this is a thousand trails resort but you can stay without the membership. you get to pick any spot you want when you arrive. first come first choice.

we had a nice location with some shade.

biggest negative is they charge extra for internet. fire pit. etc.

We are enjoying a free year of Thousand Trails membership and this was another last min stay, it was packed! But it’s the middle of summer, and we were able to find a spot in overflow same day. They called us personally, and we’re fantastic. Great amenities, and the CLEANEST bathroom I’ve seen yet this week camping.

Gated entry. Make sure to bring your RV insurance info or expect a lecture from the front desk before they let you in (they actually are very nice). First Thousand Trails I have tried. It’s basically a big parking lot with hookups. No privacy between sites. Everything looks a bit raggedy. The WiFi cost’s extra and didn’t work for most of my devices (as in disconnect or wouldn’t connect). Decent T-mobile signal. Enough to work with the booster. Didn’t try the pool or any of the amenities so can’t comment on them other than they also look a bit raggedy. This would be a place I come out of the sheer convenience of being only a little over an hour away and it’s location near Astoria and Cannon Beach. Seaside blows unless you like lots of not well trained kids and whiskey tangos everywhere. All in all it’s average and convenient.

Had a nice one night stop at this RV Park that had about 12 sites that were lined up along the coast. Had a couple other levels with direct views of the ocean, but you were packed in side by side with other RV’s. There are other sites that are a little more divided in some wooded areas. Full hookup with showers, Laundry etc.

Anywhere near the beach in Lincoln City is a good choice. This RV Park is associated with the Chinook Winds Casino and provides all the necessary hook ups needed. It’s basically a parking lot with hook ups and amenities but location is great. You can also stay over in the casino parking lot designated for RVs without hook ups. If staying at casino lot, you need to register for a players card, play and redeem points for RV stay. We ended up staying 4 nights without cost as we won some money trying to earn our points (not big gamblers here!) Easy walk to the beach.

This is a really nice RV Resort right in the middle of Cannon Beach. You almost don’t feel like you’re camping. With an indoor pool, jungle gym for kids, basketball court and of course the beach down the street what more could you want. Safe, clean and a beautiful area to be in.
