Thousand Trails Pacific City This was a very nice Thousand Trails. We stay three nights from September 27th through September 30th, 2019, in campsite D15, the stay was free due to our Thousand Trails membership. Our site had electricity and water hook up. The site was level and backed up to McPhillips Drive, we could hear vehicles passing during the day, however, the night was not an issue. The site was quiet and very private. The tall trees and bushes separated us from our camping neighbors. 

The campground is at an elevation of 75 ft. and our 28 ft travel trailer easily fits with room to spare in our site. Once we entering the campground, the campground roads are all asphalt as we selected our campsite. The weather was high overcast in the low 60's, the nights low 40s. It did rain hard on Friday and Saturday night, also rained Sunday afternoon. This is a very quiet campground, activities we found at the campground to keep busy were Billiards, a very nice indoor pool, and a warm outdoor spa. The campground has clean free showers, plenty of hot water and not more than a 5 minute walk from our campsite. 

Since we arrived on a Friday school day, the campground as not full, there was no waiting for showers. My wife and I enjoyed the campground, we hiked at Cape Lookout and Cape Kiwanda. Had a great time, we will be back to stay at this Thousand Trails.

We showed up here in early June with no reservations and had no problem getting a spot.

Oregon State Parks now charge a 25% surcharge for non-residents for RV / hookup sites.

Tent/non-hookup sites are only $22 (whether resident or no), and electric/water sites are  $35 for Oregon residents and $44 for non.  There are no sewer hookups here but there's a free dump and water fill at the entrance. There are water spigots throughout the campground.

The RV loops are more like your basic crammed in RV park sites, with all sites closely in a row.  The two tent loops, H and I, have a nicer feel, more spaced out, more trees, and quieter.  RVs are allowed to camp in tent sites, and no generators are allowed (yay!).  There is some tree cover but there are plenty of sites with enough open sky so you can use your solar panels easily.

Showers are really nice, and free.  They are set up in individual units, which I prefer.

The trails to the beach are nice, but were really swampy when we were here and the mosquitos were really aggressive (bit me through two layers of clothes!).

There's a cool disc golf course but we didn't get to play, mainly because of the mosquitos. 

Campground is close to the cute town of Newport.

Overall we liked it here.

ATT phone had good coverage.  Verizon was usable but weak, but the cell booster helped.

When we visited, there were three sections to this facility: an RV Park, an annex, and a dry camping area with plans to expand in the future. When we first pulled in and I saw the price of $31.96 per night, I thought it was very reasonable but then I discovered that was for the dry camping area, which was a paved parking lot, so you are paying for a parking space; depending on how crowded this gets, there is NO privacy or separation. Note - I believe these rates have increased since our visit.

The rates for the Marina RV Park are $72.64 per day (including full hookups). The discounted rate for the annex is $53.28 per night. There are discounts for Good Sam and veterans. No tents are allowed. 

The staff person in the office was very friendly and answered all my questions. The restrooms and laundry room were exceptionally clean. After the office is closed (or if you do not want to walk through the office), entry is via a keypad. There is also a public restroom nearby. 

There are great views of the marina and the Yaquina Bay Bridge and Rogue Ale’s Brewery and Restaurant is right next door. There is also a public fishing pier, but WiFi is limited. The beach is nearby. At the end of April, there were many open spots, but I was told that the place completely fills up in July and August. We passed on this one but it would be convenient for area activities.

I have been here several times and always have a good experience. During the main season when the whole place is open you can usually find a spot last min. This year with covid it's been harder to find a spot last min and they would only let you reserve 30 days in advance so planning something in advance was impossible. I bring my R-Pod trailer and every RV spot has full hook-ups. Lots to do with the Banks / Vernonia trail running through the camp that has over 15 miles of paved walking / biking trails. Weekends get busy on the trail during the summer, but still plenty of distance to use the trail safely during Covid. Camp host have always been nice.

In the cute little fishing town of Garibaldi, on the Oregon Coast, we found this gem of an RV park. Waterfront, full hookup sites with a great view led us to build a fire in fire pit provided and sit outside in December! This town will be rocking when it's crabbing or fishing season. Short walk to marina, store, restaurants.

The RV resort itself is small and have narrow sites. But the store is fantastic, being across from Pelican and a short stroll to the beach. You can’t beat it!

I've spent a few shoulder season nights at Barview, usually in the early-mid spring. At that time of year, you have a good chance of not having immediate neighbors. I stayed one night in the RV section, and don't think I'd enjoy it on a packed summer weekend. The RV hookup sites are really close, with no trees or other screen between trailers. The good news is that everyone has been super friendly whenever I'm there. 

The tent sites are much more private with trees, though there are still a lot of sites. I think we paid about 50 bucks to camp in our van with our dog, though. At that price, the value just isn't there for me.

We were shut out of Oregon Coast state park campgrounds so we found Wapiti RV Park using our Benchmark map. Some RV parks do not accept truck campers but Wapiti does. They have full hookups which we don’t use so we were assigned a site that had water and power. The bathrooms were not in use but we are self-contained so this was no issue.

One of their elk herds came out that late afternoon to browse. Someone counted 53 animals.

There is a garbage dumpster and the water was potable. They have a large meeting room and lots of fields to wander.

We paid $25 for our site.

My family and I really enjoyed this very well maintained beautiful RV resort for a quick getaway for the weekend. The host was very helpful and friendly. We woke up to an amazing view and enjoyed a few drinks watching the sunset in the evening. Close to the beach, Oregon Coast Aquarium and many restaurants and gift shops. I would definitely bring my family back for another weekend in the near future.

We headed to the Pacific City in search of fresh air in mid September when much of Oregon was consumed by wildfire smoke. The friendly staff at Cape Kiwanda RV Resort were very welcoming and we opted to stay in one of their cute cabins as rain was forecasted. Cabin N was comfortable and had electric heat, a TV, dorm fridge, microwave, porch swing, outdoor water, BBQ grill, picnic table and outdoor firepit.  The campground had cute wild bunnies hoping around, and amenities such as a playground, full market, and pool.  It's located a quick walk from a beautiful sandy beach, brew pub, coffee shop and other convenient options are nearby.
