Seal Rocks RV Cove

This was our second time here, and we enjoyed the first so much we decided to spend a month over Christmas to watch storms and hopefully see the whale migration. As Seal Rocks RV Cove is right off US-101, you take the second left at the sign if you are coming from the south. Per our instruction email, we headed straight to back-in site 18 with FHUs. Since we were going to be here a month, we fiddled more than normal to position our 40’ 5th wheel into position. Otherwise, this is a fairly easy back-in. Most of the positioning was to get more center on the gravel pad because there are tall hedges on both sides. This is a nice privacy feature in most sites. The water pressure was around 60 psi, so we used a reducer. Water and electric are more centered on the site. Site 18 has a great view of Seal Rock and the ocean. Another great feature of these sites is that the utilities are on both sides for back-ins like us, and Class As and Bs can pull in forward. We needed about 15’ of sewer hose with the back-in connection. The $45 nightly rate was based on an off-season monthly rate, and we did not have to pay extra for electricity. We had one bar on Verizon, which was usable for phone calls. We got a clear shot of the NW sky for Starlink. There wouldn’t be a problem for a southern shot as well. There’s a fire pit and picnic table at the back of the site. There’s a small fenced dog park and a beach trail path that leads out of the RV park to Hwy 101 to get to the beach trail. The park WiFi was pretty good, but there were not many campers here this time of year. The park managers are friendly and accommodating, and they enforce their rules. Two in particular were dogs on six-foot leashes and no LED lights at night. We were lax with our dogs because the park was empty, but they quickly reminded us of the rule. As you are right off US-101, there is road noise, but it quiets down at night. Seal Rocks RV Cove doesn’t have a laundry, but there’s one nearby in Waldport and two in Newport. There is so much to do and see in this area. We spent a month and still didn’t get everything done we wanted to do."

We’ve been here before and enjoyed it so we came back. As others have said, there’s a lot of rules but many don’t seem to be enforced. COVID masks were said to be required but nobody was wearing them (including the camp staff). You’re supposed to pick up after your dog and clearly many campers didn’t. Not the parks fault but an indicator of laziness of other campers. We were near the WiFi antenna but the WiFi strength was week. We had better luck with our Verizon and WeBoost. Cable TV was good. The exit from the park onto Hwy 101 is not good as the brush has grown up to the point your field of view is not good for such a fast road. Overall we enjoyed our stay but wanted to share some thoughts

The RV spots are gravel. We had the 2 pull throughs. Mine was tight for a 38 ft tt. The back in sites are narrow. There is a nice view of the ocean from most sites. You can access a nice beach area directly across the road, by a path then crossing busy 101. A nice location to visit the coastal area.
