I believed I had my lighting situation under control, not bright and off at an appropriate time, but when I woke up the next morning, my neighbor said I had offended the stars with my toxic and harsh LEDs. Can’t win em all 🤷♂️
Stayed 3 nights and the host allowed us to park 2 cars on a tent site. Facilities are clean and showers are hot and free
Narrow sites. Old bathroom features. Cat poop everywhere. Even in the middle of the roads and around the fish cleaning station. Saw cats pooping under rvs. The rabbits are long gone, replaced by loose cats. Mostly long term folks. People at end of row E argue loudly at night. No wifi code given if you arrive after hours nor code to the bathrooms. Nice dog yard which is the best feature.
We have visited this campground twice over the years, the most recent as part of roadtrip back from Yosemite. The quality of the experience really has to do with what loop you camp in. If you look at the website for the park there is a notice that they are getting ready to do construction and it appears many of the issues will be fixed.
Right now, I'd strongly recommend camping in the upper part of the "A", "B" or "C" loops. The lower parts of "A" and "B" are pretty exposed with just dune grass/bushes for protection. The bathrooms in those loops are also in the best shape. The "D" loop needs a lot of work. The bathroom is very mildewed and just bearable.
We enjoyed our selfs.we were close to beach neighbors were plesent as were the host.
We loved our stay here; it's great for families. The bathroom and showers were clean, and we appreciated the large sink for dishwashing. Wright's is quite close to town, so we were easily able to walk to the beach and main part of town. Site 10 is decently sized, and fit our 20' campervan + bike rack easily.
Spent a lot of time up there tent camping on the weekends. Randy was the camp post. The grounds were always kept clean and improved every week. Great summer spot for steelhead fishing before the state screwed up that also.
Has a lot of cool things and is very convenient to go to. Very understanding staff.
A great site for “light” camping, good location, felt very safe and perfect for kids with the playground. Very busy of course given its popularity.
I've stayed here multiple times over the years and really enjoy the facility. The proximity to the beach and skatepark couldn't be better. You can hear the ocean plainly from camp. The showers work perfectly! The rabbit population seems to be down from previous years, which isn't a terrible thing. The hosts are gr8! I'll be back soon 😁
Small campground with no real shade. Small laundry area. No privacy to speak of. Very conveniently located to sights.
Camped on the night of July 3rd. Campsite 58, one of the furthest away from the dunes but you couldn’t escape the noise - ATV riders/generators did not adhere to quiet hours (10pm-7am), the engines quieted down around 1am but then started back up around 5:30am. Great if you like the dune buggy lifestyle but not if you are looking for a serene/private excursion. The hiker/biker camps offer more visual privacy but you can still hear the off road vehicles on the dunes.
They ignored my issue with the sprinkler system leaving my lot with 2-3" of water until 11am. No broken lines just a timing issue but they didn't do anything about it over my 3 day stay. Nothing to help, just looked and said, Ya, that's a lot of water. Of course it was deepest near my steps, even said I couldn't put down a mat cause it would ruin the grass. At least they couldve acted concerned.
Camping trip to South Beach Park and enjoyed it great place the first night it drizzling rain but the weather changed and it was sunny for the rest of the week camped until the 7 and enjoyed
This campground is very clean, wonderful hot showers , and over all great
They invent new policies as they see fit. Their employees approve your stay, then management comes by and threatens to ask to to leave without refunding you. The bathrooms are hideous, the sites are next to their dumping grounds and management will harass you. If you are female, don't stay here. The male manager Tyler is creepy and very threatening.
Had a great time friendly people Nice place clean really nice lodge has all sorts of activities
This is our third year coming to Cape Kiwanda RV and it keeps getting better. Pool is open, new ownership, awesome gear borrowing system for bikes & Sand boards, delicious pizza, great playground, clean bathrooms and laundry, adorable bunnies… the list goes on. Anything you need is a very very short walk away and the best part… the OCEAN - waking up to the sound of the surf is incredible.
This place used to be a great place to rent. The host was super friendly and nice. We were regulars who rented yurts a couple of times a year with a group of people. Not sure what has changed, but it has gone downhill. We just rented 4 yurts amongst us and all four yurts got charged a$30 cleaning fee. I don't usually look over my credit card statements and luckily my friend looked at his and told me to check mine. I was also charged twice for a one-day extra car parking and also got an extra$72.48 charge for who knows what. My friends called to dispute the$30 charge which is nowhere on their website or the reservation receipt. We've stayed here for years without such a fee. The only one who got his fee reversed was the one who threatened to get a lawyer. The remainder 3 of us had to dispute the charges with our credit card company since Bay City RV Park would not reverse the charges. If you've reserved recently, go check your bill and get for cleaning fee charge reversed. We will never reverse from this place again and hope to prevent others from being overcharged.
We moved from Washington and started our journey in trailers at the KOA. It was a great experience. We stayed from December to May.
This KOA has potential but doesn't achieve it due to a lack of maintenance and site keeping rule enforcement.
Most of the RVs camped here look like they are incapable of moving, let alone being safe driven on highways. Many sites are filled with junk and/or trash. One site was filled with trash. Not trash in bags but empty food cans, soda can, apple cores... they simply opened the trailer door and threw trash outside. They had a large dog that they didn't pick up after and in addition to the trash, the site was littered with big piles of dog poop.
Don't come here expecting a nice campground, I haven't been RVing long but this one is the most depressing and disgusting campground that I have seen.
It's been a couple of years since my first review and I wanted to share new perspective. This time around we took our 9 year old grandson. He loved the play structure and we had the convenience of backing in to a site that was near the kids area. All went well till he fell out of a tree and broke his arm. 😂
Actually we enjoyed hikes to the beach, some whale watching and playing games when it rained. We were there over New Years Eve.
What surprised be is that the campground was FULL that week! And, it wasn't at all offensive. Still pretty quiet and great.
One negative: When rain came through some sites really flooded. This site did at the front of the truck. Not too badly, as we were still able to get into the truck.
We'll enjoy this campground again in the future.
We came in from the north on Hwy 101, and Waze wanted us to turn at Manzanita, just north of Nehalem, to get to the state park. It was a sharp and weird angled turn, so we pressed on a couple of miles, where there was a state park sign. We followed the signs to the park and campground(CG). No one was at the check-in booth, but instructions were to proceed to the registration kiosk in the A loop. We registered and headed for back-in Site C-26; 50 amp& water. Our three-day stay was free as we have the Oregon Disabled Veteran's Pass. As we went through the B section, we had to be very careful on this Friday after Thanksgiving, as the CG looked like a summer holiday weekend with vehicles parked willy-nilly near or on the road. We noticed and were told by other campers that Oregonians love to camp this time of year in large friend and family groups. This had been the case in the last three State Parks we’ve camped in. We got to the C section, which was not quite as busy, and proceeded to back into our site. The camper across from us gladly moved his truck so we could maneuver into the asphalt pad more easily. We had pine tree branches overhead, and we did our best not to scrape, but one branch lightly scraped an air conditioner cover on our 13.5-foot 5th wheel. The pad was long enough for our 5th wheel, and we parked our F450 at a slight angle to stay off the road. The water and electric hookups were at the back of the pad, so we needed 25’ of electric cord. One side of the road(outer sites) has angled sites, and the other(inside sites) has 90-degree back-ins. Whether even or odd sites depends on how the loop sites flow into one another. For example, our site C-26(outer site) is angled. In the D loop, site 41, which is a nice site for a bigger rig, is angled versus the even sites across the road, which are 90-degree back-ins. We had a fairly clear shot for our Starlink and three bars on Verizon. There was beach access from our loop, and we enjoyed walking our dogs on the multiple trails in this state park. The reservable loops were full this Thanksgiving weekend. This time of year, the D, E, and F loops were first-come-first-serve and nowhere near full. If we had known this, we would have gone to this less crowded area.
We stayed for 2 nights in Loop C. Campground was tidy, quiet, and fairly private from our neighbors. Camp host left a small bundle of wood for us when we arrived which was nice. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. Not many people on the lake probably due to time of year (mid October), but weather was great.
We rented a RV spot for 78$ a night which I’m OK with and then we wanted to go on the dock and crab and they charged us 15$ per crab ring that we own what a joke!!! and then after paying this ridiculous fee  we had about 4 hours to crab we did ok not great and we cook our own they closed the dock at 6 pm again BS if your staying at the campground. We were going to stay a few days but we got the heck out of there and went somewhere we didn’t get bent over for everything you want to do. Even use the bathrooms which we never used because we have a large RV
Large campground with a ton of spots. Pretty open in some spots, so may feel more like an RV park. Great for groups and easy setup with minimal leveling needed. Easy walk to the beach with lots of trails.
I pulled in before the ranger station closed, and was able to get a tent site for $24. Amenities are super clean, unlimited use showers and perfect spacing in between sites.
