Best Campgrounds near Aberdeen, WA

Aberdeen's coastal surroundings offer several established campgrounds with various accommodation options. The area includes developed parks like Lake Sylvia State Park and Hoquiam River RV Park, which provide amenities for both tent and RV campers. Twin Harbors State Park and Grayland Beach State Park, located along the coastline southwest of Aberdeen, feature cabins and yurts in addition to traditional camping sites. Most campgrounds in this region maintain year-round operations, though some smaller facilities like Arctic Park operate seasonally from May through October.

Camping facilities near Aberdeen typically include basic amenities such as drinking water, restrooms, and picnic tables. Most established campgrounds provide electric hookups, with several offering full-service connections including sewer and water for RVs. Weather patterns along the Washington coast create consistently damp conditions, particularly during winter months. Reservations are recommended during summer when occupancy rates increase. The proximity to Olympic National Park makes some campgrounds practical base camps for day trips, though travel times should be considered. According to one visitor at Hoquiam River RV Park, "This campground is about 45 minutes south of Quinault Lake in Olympic NP. So it adds a lot of extra time and miles to explore ONP. It is about 20 minutes to the beaches, which was great."

Several campgrounds in the Aberdeen area feature waterfront locations that enhance the camping experience. Friends Landing provides access to fishing docks and lakeside trails, with facilities that accommodate both tent and RV campers. Campers frequently mention the region's river and ocean proximity as highlights. State parks along the coastline, including Pacific Beach and Ocean City, receive positive ratings for their beach access and well-maintained facilities. The developed campgrounds often include showers and sanitary dump stations, making them suitable for longer stays. While sites can be close together in some RV parks, the natural surroundings and water access compensate for limited privacy. The area's state parks tend to provide more spacious sites with better separation between camping areas.

    Grayland Beach State Park Campground

    Grayland State Park

    Welcoming, friendly host. Well thought out layout of camping spaces in rings to break up the crowds. Clean camp and bathrooms. Area has wide open sky for solar and Starlink connectivity. Poor cell signal at the campground. A broad beach that you can drive on. Snowy Plover nesting areas to avoid while doing so.

    Road to Snag Lake - Dispersed

    Quiet & Cloudy

    Overall this was a great campsite. Very peaceful and quiet. We tent camped at the very end of the road at the top. Unfortunately we could see nothing but clouds this visit, but I would still come back! No photos since it was so foggy and misty. Not much for tent camping but better for cars or campers and very bumpy on the way up.

    Quinault Ridge Road

    Quite & Free 👍

    Easy pull offs, not many people here. I did read the review about the trash. It was disheartening. I’ve been keeping a grabber in my car. But still hadn’t tested it on trash. Took me maybe 2 mins, wasn’t hard and now one of these spots is clean! ✨ Would recommend to a friend!

    Lake Sylvia State Park Campground

    OUR FAVORITE

    This is our all time favorite campground. Phone service is non-existent and we had att Verizon cricket and straight talk but it does have free WiFi. Only downside is we can't get our big camper in there and have to use our small one. It is the place we go to camp since we're full timers we have stayed some of all 12 months and many of the sites

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Nice but crowded

    We enjoyed our stay at Millersylvania. It’s a beautiful place. We purchased firewood from the Boy Scout troop here for $6/bundle. The only downside for us is that it is really crowded, and a few dogs and some very rude people kept us up until about 1 am.

    NF-2419 Dispersed Pullout

    Large spot in the woods

    My friend and I met here and had plenty of room for my truck, 21' trailer, and a lost woman who we let pull in and sleep. It was so large that we could have added a few more vehicles. The road wasn't bad. There were blackberry plants all over the place. There was, unfortunately, a lot of trash and no Verizon service.

    South Beach Campground — Olympic National Park

    Seer schöne Lage an der Beach

    Site 10 und 11 bieten viel Platz, sind aber nicht direkt am Meer. Dafür weniger dem Wind ausgesetzt. Guter Ausgangspunkt z.B. zum sehr empfehlenswerten Hoh Rainforest oder Ruby Beach. Hatten top Wetter, aber teilweise starken Wind.

    Andersen's Oceanside RV Park & Cottages

    Please read

    This is long but I wish someone wrote it so I knew what I was atleast spending our money on. I’ll first write about the website and how it lies and then my experience, with pictures. For context, we have a 43-foot fifth wheel that stands at a standard height of 13’6”, totaling approximately 60 feet in length with our truck. Discrepancies in Site Descriptions: Forested Sites: 1. The website advertised three large grassy areas. In reality, one was occupied by the campsite manager. Though there are two sites remaining, the one closest to the store backs up into low-hanging branches that could easily damage our solar panels and things on top and was not in an area or wide enough for us to back in our 43’ fifth wheel. 2. Amazing for Slides: The two available sites might work for slides, but the most narrow spot would have posed a significant risk. Which is the one we were supposed to have. If you don’t have slide toppers, your slides would be filled with leaves and branches. 3. Size Claims: The website states sites are 100'x50'. The owner specifically state that they are 70'x20' and none of the sites are100’x50’. 4. Surface Quality: The site closest to the store was somewhat gravel, but weeds were growing over it. Further back, it became more uneven, with slopes and hills leading into grass rather than a proper gravel pad. 5. Connectivity: The advertised satellite, TV, and Wi-Fi were virtually non-existent. Wi-Fi in the other areas was terrible, leading to frustrating experiences trying to connect. 6. Fire Pit: We booked a spot with a fire pit, which we were told would be moved to our site from the forested area. However, we never received it. Thankfully, we brought our own. Prime Sites: 1. Surrounding Environment: Claims of being quietly surrounded by grassy dunes and playful pines are misleading. While there are sand dunes, the pines are very far from the sites; you are primarily in a campground without immediate tree access. 2. Proximity to Beach: this was accurate it was a nice walk 3. Size: Again, the owner mentioned that all sites are 70'x20,' contradicting the 100'x20' claim online. Our fifth wheel did not fit adequately, forcing us to deal with dirt and litter behind us. 4. Patio Description: The site described a sand entry on their site and a beauty-barked entry when you go to book. It is in fact sand which is why I purposely booked the forested site 5. Wi-Fi Quality: Rather than excellent Wi-Fi, we experienced frequent disconnections, and often it only worked late at night when the campground was quiet. Overall Experience: Upon arrival, I was met with the owner stating that we didn’t need to get out of the truck, which seemed convenient at first. However, once led to the incorrect site, I expressed our booking for a forest site, only to be told they preferred to place us elsewhere because of our size(which we did specify during booking) The roads were a bit narrow for turning around a big rig despite them saying big rig friendly, and backing into a suitable site required a three-point turn, making it an complicated process. When I approached the office regarding a refund for the site difference, the owner reeked of pot(I usually don’t care but I would rather do business with someone sober than argue with someone stoned). the owner was immediately confrontational and dismissive. Despite my attempts to explain the situation, he insisted that all sites were the same and refused to acknowledge the misleading size and price differences. His behavior was unprofessional and unacceptable. When I asked him about price and size difference he kept saying it was all the same and the only difference was the forested site got a fireplace for free and it would follow me however we never did get it. How wife at one time during the argument came out and said she would give us a refund for the difference and he told her to shut the hell up. He then told us to either take what we were given(at the lesser price) or take a full refund and leave. I later discovered that the owner has a history of confrontations, as noted in various reviews, which further dampened our experience. In conclusion, the forest and prime sites are not worth the price of$125 per night. I also never received the promised fireplace, which was an additional disappointment. Having booked in March for an August stay and specifically choosing the forested site, I expected a much better experience. Overall the difference in price between what I booked and what I got was$135 for the 4 nights.

    Quiet place to relax

    Super cute field to relax, have a fire if there's no burn ban, and just relax. Host has a few necessities in their little store such as toasting forks, snacks etc.
