Sea and Sand RV Park

Amazing beach view from all beach view spots and a nice little shop for supplies. When we were there we saw whales feeding right off the shore and some sea lions as well. This beach is located near some of the best beach towns on the oregon coast. One downside is that there are no businesses you can get to by walking so you will need a car towed behind your rig or be ready to stay put during your stay. The staff was fantastic and the place is clean. My biggest gripe would be my spot on 87. The view was awesome but backing in was a pain due to the uneven surface. My 32 ft bounder was rocking like crazy. All in all a minor complaint. This is a must stay.

Verizon via iPhone 12: 29 mbps down and 3 mbps up with 30 ms ping. T-Mobile via Nighthawk MR-1100: 7.5 mbps down and 0.00 mbps up with 476 ms ping. RV park Wi-Fi across from the laundry (site 64): 5 mbps down and 0.50 mbps up with 19 ms ping.

——REASONS I STAYED HERE——

I needed a campground that was between Newport and Garibaldi (where I had campgrounds). I made reservations for this portion of my road trip a month in advance, so campground options were limited. Plus, I don't normally stay at RV parks unless they are a last option because of the expected higher price.

—————PROS—————

→ The laundry facilities were great. I specifically chose site 64 to be across from it.

→ The front-desk lady was nice. She let me know that sites in oceanfront were available in case I wanted to upgrade. (This was early May.) I declined since I wasn't really there for the ocean.

→ I can see why people love this RV park. It feels safe. It's clean and well-manicured. I see complaints about all the rules but I'm sure they exist for a reason. The rules really aren't that bad. But be aware! For sewer hookups, you must have a screw down sewage connection! We only have one of those rubber sewer ends that squishes itself into openings but the connection was secure.

→ The RV park property is beachfront. The actual beachfront sites have one heck of a view. Even if you don't have a beachfront site, you can walk down there and sit on the bench and enjoy the view.

—————CONS—————

→ A quasi-con was that you have to pay quarters to operate the shower in the upper section. The showers down by the ocean were free. I didn't use either shower, though, as I used the shower in my van because I had sewer hookup.

—————OVERALL—————

5-stars - It’s a safe, inviting and well-manicured. It has all the amenities you can need and the property is well situated.

We got in late Friday night. Wish we could have spent all day here. The view is top notch!
