LOGE Westport

A bit disappointed by this place. A bit oversold. Looks better on paper. Kind of a jack of all trades master of none type of place. There are rv sites which are nowhere near as big as advertised. They do have full hookups. WiFi is worthless unless you go to the lodge. They give the wrong info for passwords etc. and when told shrug and say “we can’t figure it out”. The cafe is ok but not much of a selection. They do have covered tent sites and lodging as well but I didn’t use either. The traeger grills are nice but there are only two. So if it’s busy you might be out of luck. There are two picnic tables for the entire place. The common areas might be nice in a non-pandemic world but now they just look forlorn. I think this is a big surfer spot or is trying to be. I doubt I’ll be coming back.

An ad for LOGE is what motivated me to go on my first camping trip. It ended up my 2nd trip (first was at Twin Harbors). I love the option of the covered campsites. Each covered campsite has a picnic table and sand box that serves as the pad for your tent (much more comfortable than the ground). The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. People staying at the campsite were very friendly and sociable. The women's bathroom has a heater and it kept on, really nice in the middle of the night when you got to pee and you have to leave your cozy tent. The community kitchen was great for cooking my crabs after catching them, it's fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans. They have communal traegar grills as well and stock the pellets for them. One thing to note is all the fire rings are communal vs other campgrounds I've seen where each campsite has their own fire ring. Bonus: there's a really friendly pig that lives down the street than came to visit. Really adorable my dogs didn't know what to do.

This place was a great idea that just tried to do too much, then charged too much. They have a hotel, a hostel, covered camping, open camping and rv parking all in a very tiny spot. The van/rv parking is just a large gravel lot with power and i think water hookups. We only used power. The covered tent sites are very odd. Like camping in a carport. One table, one tent, 3 walls and a permanent canvas tarp overhead. Our parents stayed in a hotel room which was nice, very hipster instagram cute. We also checked out the hostel space and it seemed great. Probably the best deal here since you get all the shared extras for less cost. The big draws here are the shared amenities, a field between the tents and vans with a stage where they often have bands in the summer. A communal cooking area with grills, prep area and sinks and inside they serve coffee and beer in the morning and afternoon respectively. I followed and donated to these guys when they were on kickstarter pitching it as a place for surfers to hang and an alternative to the rv laden state parks. Then when it finally happened it was at prices that surfers would rather stay at the state parks than pay extra for less space. I think they got their wires crossed. But for what they are they do it right. Pay a little extra and post lots of photos of almost camping.

There's a stage, bar, coffee-bar, and mini surfshop all in one location!
