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. Campsite rates are $44–$61/night; cabins and cottages are $135–$170/night; reservations available.

Thousand Trails Seaside

This was an interesting Thousand Trails. We stay three nights from October 11th through 14th, 2019, at campsite 151, the stay was free due to our Thousand Trails membership. Our site had sewer, electricity, and water hook up. The sewer connection at the campsite was a nice plus. The site was level and easy to back in to. 

  

The sites were the closest we've been to at a Thousand Trails, with no trees for privacy. What made the Seaside interesting was there wasn't much noise even though the sites were close to each other. The campground was at sea level and just outside of downtown Seaside. Our 28 ft travel trailer easily fit into our spot. Once we entering the campground, the campground roads are all gravel. 

  

The weather in October was high overcast in the low 60's, the nights low 40s. This is a very quiet campground, activities we found at the campground to keep busy was a very nice indoor pool, indoor sauna, indoor spa and exercise room with treadmills. The campground has clean free showers, plenty of hot water and not more than a 5 minute walk from our campsite. 

  

My wife and I enjoyed the campground, we took a trip north to Fort Stevens for the day, geocached and hiked around the fort. Seaside was a fun town, its grown a lot since my first visit there 20 years ago.

Thousand Trails Seaside Is Worth The Stay

Great camp spot, walk within minutes to the ocean!! Lots of Amenities available along the shore, stores, shops, RV park hookups, family pet friendly. Watch your toes!! There's jelly fish & Mr Crabs!! 

Seaside Resort

Close to town. Has a nice pool and Jacuzzi, but not quiet nor private. Noisy from highway and neighbors. 
We rate it a 6. 

Seaside RV Resort

Having children, the playground and pool are a huge deal when you’re camping at an RV resort. Well, the playground was rusted over and had pieces that were missing to it, the swings were broken as well. The pool was dirty and I was not able to get a hold of staff for assistance the whole time I was there. The hooks ups were fine, but this place really needs some sprucing up.

The playground was really rusted over and the pool was dirty.

This campground has tent and RV sites plus cabins.

We stayed in a cabin. The cabins are tasteful, spacious and clean and come equipped with kitchen supplies, microwave and coffee maker. What really makes these cabins stand out is that they come with bathrooms, no having to walk to the community bathrooms!!

This campground is unique in that it has an indoor pool and hot tub so swimming is possible in bad weather.

The campground is located within walking distance to an outlet mall but you may want to drive to the free public parking closer to the beach.

Minutes from the ocean

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.  

Safe and lots to do!

Worst maintained RV park we have ever been to. Our spot was filled with dog poop from the full timer that was beside us. My dogs couldn’t even walk on the grass it was so dead or sharp crabgrass and filled with thistles. (How do you have brown grass on the Oregon coast, it literally never stops raining). The only reason this park gets one let alone 2 stars is the staff was very nice, and helpful. 

Do not waste your time with this place, go down the street to any of the other spots. 

Don’t waste a good trip

The camp was nice and located just a short drive to the beach. Check the weather in Seaside before you go- poured almost the entire time we were there!

Rained but still nice!

I've enjoyed all my visits to this Park. It is close to the town of Seaside and it's beaches, museums, shops, restaurants and attractions. 

Astoria and the Columbia River provide Lewis and Clark historical sites and Tillamook is a definite go to see facility. Portland is only an hour or so away via a scenic drive that has a natural water spring available to load up your water jugs.

The park has all the normal facilities and amenities. It is separated by a road creating one side with wooded sites and the other side a more barren environment. Clubhouse on one side, laundry on the other side. A nice place to park the RV while exploring the area.

Nice RV Park to relax in and travel the Oregon Coast

Nice place to rv camp for a few days but spots are too close and no privacy. All spots have full hookups though! Great location to beaches and town.  

Nice place for a few days

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. 

Nicest bathrooms yet! 

For me the best thing about this campground is the location. It's really close to everything at Seaside which is awesome. 

The campground itself is clean and quiet considering how busy it is. There's a lot a fun activities, a place for dogs, and lovely scenery. I generally like a little more space between sites but this is expected with the type of campground.

Good Location

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.
