LegendBeautiful riverfront location at a marina. $30 a night park in the asphalt lot, with coin showers and restrooms. All other sites have power poles and water. We stayed on "the dike" with picnic table, fire pit, power and water for $45 a night, with a gorgeous view of the inlet on one side and the marina on the other. Several cute restaurants within walking distance. Laundry facilities on site, but also a local laundromat. Amber was amazingly helpful.
LegendWanting to avoid the wildfire smoke in September, we headed to the coast in search of fresher air. With rain in the forecast, we opted to stay in one of the cute rustic cabins at Kampers West RV Park. The front desk staff were welcoming when we arrived. The cabin was basic but comfortable the night. It had a full bed and bunk bed, table, chair and heater. Kampers West is conveniently located near Fort Stevens State Park and Lewis and Clark National Historical Park / Fort Clatsop and the The Fort To Sea Trail hiking in Warrenton.
LegendWhen we go crabbing it is usually our of Tokeland. We checked out Bay Center and were so pleasantly surprised by this KOA. This place really has it all!!
-Full Hookups, complimentary showers, wifi, cable, and a snack bar.
They have clam beds just for campers, or a day fee for those wanting to rake without camping. Some of the sites are pretty open but if you went with a large family it would be perfect. You can only have 4 people to a tent campsite and 6 to an RV site, which puts some limitations on people.
They have spaces for RV's and trailers, tents, cabins, yurts and even have trailers you can rent to stay in on site!
This is a great spot for families who do not necessarily want to rough it and want to enjoy a smooth weekend being cared for by great hosts!
GuideReally cool atmosphere just steps away from the beach. The sounds of the waves can be heard right from your site. Nice facilities. Yurt is highly recommended and sleeps 5. Really liked that each yurt had its own deck, picnic table, and fire pit. The shrubbery around the campgrounds was really cool and offered extra privacy. They also had equestrian sites as well as tent and electric RV. Cannot wait to go back my only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!
ScoutWe stayed at Disappointment for almost a week. It is a great place to relax and unplug from life. In the main campground loops, There is no WiFi available, No TV signals of any kind, and absolutely no cell service from any Cell service provider. We use all 3 main carriers, AT&T, Verizon, and T Mobile for service and work. The is no cell service, not even with a Cell Booster.
Overall, it is a nice park campground. There's lots of trees. It's easy for us to get in and out. Nice hiking trails. A secluded beach that rarely sees people outside of Summer.
The only downside we had was the increased amount of pollution washing up on the shoreline. It was pretty bad.
In the end, it was a really great place to unplug from the world, relax, and enjoy nature.
GuideThe campground is split up into two sides. The north side and the south side. The north side has the getaway cabins, and cottages. It also has the pool/hot tub, cafe, group fire pit, kids play ground, and overflow parking. Pickleball/tennis courts. The north side is also the only side that has 50A power. The south side is all 30A. The tent sites are also on the north side. It gives access to all the amenities here. They took out the propane site, cause they didn’t have anyone to take care of it. We come down here to get away from the heat, inland, area. It’s usually 20-30 degrees cooler, than inland. So when the heat hits the valley, everyone runs to the coastline. So it can get crowded. You have to be careful with your kids. People don’t drive the speed limit. It’s 5mph. They drive like they are in the raceway. The Clatsop county beaches, have the best razor clam digging, in Oregon. On every minus tide, in the winter and spring, you have some of the best razor clams, this far south of Alaska. Usually from he first of October, to July 15th, all minus tides will expose the clam beds enough to walk out and get a delicious meal. Plus the Columbia River estuary is just 10 miles away. Which is the place of the world class Buoy #10 Salmon fishery, every August - October. Both Large Chinook Salmon, and the feisty smaller, Coho (silver) salmon. You also have fresh crabbing available in town, and behind the old high school, or drop a few pots while out salmon fishing, for a great fresh seafood meal.
GuideWe didn’t realize how big this campground was until we got there. Over 560 sites! Camping world! The sites are not terribly private but it still beats most RV parks. Like the previous poster said, quiet hours were not enforced and there was a loud group across from us active until well past 10. It’s an impressive place though with lots of volunteers picking up trash and being helpful. One did enforce some daytime quiet with loud music coming from the rowdy group. We ended up not staying long but I’m glad we saw this place. If you want to drive out the spit, to the very “end” of Oregon, there’s a bunch of road construction. You turn into a break in the fence and will very soon be driving on the beach! Everyone is doing it and mostly fishing. It was an adventurous surprise for sure!
One more thing, there was some rather loud aircraft flying occasionally overhead, one came over in the middle of the night.
RangerThe park itself is great. There are a ton of bike paths and your entrance into your campsite also allows you access to the park the next day so you can explore after check out if you want.
Quiet hours are not enforced. There was a rowdy group near me that was loud well past 10p.
I only stayed one night but would like to come back again. So much to explore!
Cell service is non existent in park FYI.
Cape Disappointment State Park and surrounding areas offer yurt and cabin camping options throughout the year. Located at the southwest corner of Washington where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, this coastal region has an average annual rainfall of 67 inches and summer temperatures typically ranging 60-75°F. The camping terrain consists primarily of forested areas with sand dunes near the ocean, providing natural windbreaks during the frequently gusty coastal conditions.
Hiking to lighthouses: The area features multiple trails leading to historic structures. "Wow, what a beautiful place! Walk to the beach to find treasures and sit to relax and just watch the waves. Very peaceful, and my teens loved it!" notes a visitor to Cape Disappointment State Park Campground.
Beach exploration: Miles of accessible shoreline provide opportunities for beachcombing and wildlife viewing. "The cape has several scenic lighthouses and beaches that are dog friendly... We went out first thing in the morning when it was foggy and freezing, but tide was low and we had the whole beach to ourselves," reports a recent visitor.
Historical sites: The region contains numerous military installations and interpretive centers. "There is sooo much to do in this area! It's rich with history and we could have easily spent another week touring around. The Martime Museum is up the road," shares a camper at Fort Stevens State Park Campground.
Privacy between sites: Despite being popular destinations, many campgrounds offer secluded spots. "The campground was packed but our site was still very private, small and cozy. Easy walk to the beach and great ocean views," notes a reviewer from Cape Disappointment.
Clean facilities: Campground bathrooms and showers receive consistent praise. "They have a wonderful cleaning station, clean hot showers and RV and tent sites as well as a few small cabins. The tent sites are all on grass and back up to a stream," writes a visitor to Kampers West RV Park.
Seasonal activities: Different times of year offer unique experiences. "The Clatsop county beaches have the best razor clam digging in Oregon. On every minus tide, in the winter and spring, you have some of the best razor clams this far south of Alaska," explains a camper at Thousand Trails Seaside.
Weather preparation: Coastal conditions can change rapidly. "I recommended being prepared for any type of weather rain or shine. Showers are nice with single rooms. Not in every loop though. No outhouses, bathrooms are ok," advises a Fort Stevens camper.
Campground sizes vary: Some locations offer more spacious sites than others. "This is a great campground with a lot of sites. Visiting the Iredale shipwreck especially at sunset is beautiful. Also visiting the forts and cannons are fun. Bring mosquito repellent!" warns an experienced visitor.
Off-season benefits: Visiting during quieter times provides unique advantages. "We stayed at The Lamp Camp in one of the tent spots. They have several RV spots with full hookups as well as dry camp areas closer to the beach. Even those have a shower and restroom with hot water nearby and fire pits in each space," notes a recent camper.
Kid-friendly activities: Multiple attractions cater specifically to younger visitors. "We brought the kids and expected to listen to their complaints the whole time, but they were intrigued by everything!" shares a Fort Stevens camper.
Beach access considerations: Not all campsites provide equally convenient beach access. "While my loop was farthest from the beach, you could still hear the ocean which is lovely and relaxing. It's not a far walk to the beach and my toddler did it easily," explains a visitor to Camp Rilea Military Campground.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Animal sightings are common throughout the region. "The park is VERY pet friendly. Keep your furry friends on a leash and you can take them on any of the trails in the park. Keep in mind that the beach is VERY windy," advises a Cape Disappointment camper.
Hookup locations: Site layouts vary significantly between campgrounds. "Odd numbers site have hook ups on the right, even have hook ups on the left (drivers side). Very clean, friendly and fun place to stay," notes a visitor to Thousand Trails Long Beach.
Driving considerations: Some access roads require careful navigation. "The spots are tight, but the dog friendly beach is a short walk away. The beach hosts kite flying and sand castle building contests. The town is open and friendly," shares a Long Beach visitor.
Seasonal occupancy: Availability varies throughout the year. "We were fortunate to get a yurt for one night in July as a walk in. The ranger was shocked as they are usually sold out months in advance. There is a fire pit and picnic table outside each yurt," reports a Fort Stevens camper.
