THE LAMP CAMP is an oceanfront RV Park and campground, for outdoor lovers to explore the longest beach in America. Nestled in the coastal forest, Long Beach, Washington is your next stop for a getaway.
For us, travel is all about connection. When we travel, we reconnect with each other, we connect with the land and we connect with the new people we meet. But, sometimes camping feels a little like make-believe. We pack up a ton of stuff, drive it into the woods and pretend like we are alone– even when others are camping just a few feet away from us.
At The Lamp Camp, we want our guests to meet each other. We hope that our shared spaces foster new friendships. We’ve designed our camp as a place to connect, share stories and enjoy this pacific northwest wonderland, together. Everyone is welcome at The Lamp Camp. Whether you’re a Van Life explorer, an RV roamer or a good old-fashioned tent camper, we’re the perfect stop on your Pacific Northwest adventure.
Our sites are nestled in the woods and connected by a winding path that leads to the ocean just 700 feet away. We look forward to days of lawn games, evenings of oceanside sunsets and nights of counting the stars with you.

Love this campground been. I’ve been going there about once a year for about 35 years. Trees have sure grown over those years. Close to town for an easy walk. Well maintained and friendly office staff and grounds people. Some sights are a little tight but most easily handle the larger rigs. They are very pet friendly. Good times …
I pulled up and it looked abandoned and unsafe—something from a horror movie. The bathroom literally had trash dumped out in front and the some of the campsites were unkept. It's trek to get back there for such disappointment. Left as soon as I could, ended up sleeping at a rest area.
This small campground is very far off the 101 so if you are looking for a coastal vibe this is not it. Deeply wooded, green, and beautiful. One side of the campground sits alongside Nehalem river access, on hot days this is a popular hangout so expect to see a lot of people. Vault toilets after a busy summer season were ammonia rich and hard to handle. Trash receptacles and potable water available. (Old school pump) I’ve heard that it stays wet enough back there that this campsite never really has a fire ban, but always check with the camp host, they also sell fire wood. First come first serve campsites Using reserve America online. Do Not confuse this campsite with Nehalem Bay State park when reserving.
The layout of this campground packs sites too close together. It feels more like tailgating in a parking lot than camping. Other than that, this park is pretty great. It's a very short walk to the beach and a stone's throw from Westport. It's even got some decent trails for hiking around a bit. The bathrooms are pretty standard fare for state Park bathrooms, however, the free showers were a great plus.
This campground lacks many of the amenities of most campgrounds. They have a number of long term rentals that don’t mind giving their negative opinions about the RV park. And if that is not enough the road is constant stream of noise outside your camper
Location is incredible, great nature. Place for your dreams! I do like this place so much and playing there in papa games!
Relative to other options in Northwest Oregon this was an easy to find, plenty of space place to park the car. My partner and I angled our vehicle to block our tent from the road and slept like rocks.
Not scenic (though the waterfall that is a short hike away is). My only safety concern is someone taking the corner too fast running into your car.
This was our last stop on vacation. We couldn't get into Fort Stevens SP right across the street because it was full so we thought we'd give the KOA a try. We normally avoid KOAs, but this one was NICE! We had a premium gravel back-in site. The premium means full hook-ups, fire pit with some bench seating, picnic table, and a propane grill. Our row happened to back up to some trees and tent sites that were in a kind of gully below us. The first night, we had neighbors on either side of us, the second night nobody showed up. We were thankful for that as these sites are pretty close together. This is by far, the largest campground I've ever stayed at. There was a whole fun zone that had mini golf and a bouncy mat thing, outdoor pool and other things that we didn't even see because it was in another part of the campground. Our main purpose on this vacation was to visit Fort Stevens State Park and go into Astoria for lunch. I did manage to get in a quick swim in the indoor pool (you read that right--there are 2 pools). For such an active campground, I was pleasantly surprised at how everyone settled down by the start of quiet hours at 10pm, at least in our part of the campground. I wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of some of the amenities, but it just wasn't in the cards this time.
Edit to add...we never managed to connect to the wifi.
Amazing! Outstanding! Beautiful Hillside former equestrian farm where you can buy organic cage-free eggs laid the day before along with milk taken straight from the cow that morning! If you enjoy watching sheep eat and playing with a goat and watching Ducks wander around and lots of stuff to look at and hiking and learning about farming and animal husbandry, this place is for you!
This is not Curlew Lake in Eastern Wa. This is Ilwaco near the Columbia River in the SW corner of Wa. We came to this campground by the lovely pictures of a large lake, nice camping sites etc. The Pro's: easy check-in Walking distance to the town and Marina. Close to Cape Disappointment State Park There is a laundromat. Cons: this is a fisherman's park. The sites are close together. No picnic tables at our sites. $59 is too expensive. Bad advise from the previous reviewer!!!
Large 36 acre peaceful Rv Park on the Clatskanie River. 2 miles on SWEDETOWN road. lots of bunnies and a cute petting zoo very relaxing.
We loved our stay here; it's great for families. The bathroom and showers were clean, and we appreciated the large sink for dishwashing. Wright's is quite close to town, so we were easily able to walk to the beach and main part of town. Site 10 is decently sized, and fit our 20' campervan + bike rack easily.
Super nice bathrooms and laundry facility. Pretty well situated. Only downside is the highway nice
Short drive to the beach. Great wifi. Clean and well kept. Friendly staff. Had fun in the pool even though it was a bit small. Cannon Beach is a very nice area to stay in.
Ferocious number of mosquitos that were persistent despite repellant. It’s bizarre they chose to put the campsites near the “lake” and swampy areas versus closer to beach access away from those areas.
Camp sites were also a little too packed tight versus other nearby state parks like Nehalem Bay.
this just an EXCELLENT destination!!!!! thank you for taking the time and exerting the energy to do this! I love it and super mario 64!
Nice campground by to the river and close to Olympic
Clean bathrooms and showers Heated pool is nice Wonderful trail to the beach Friendly staff
The location is perfect, with an easy walk to the beach, making it ideal for those who love the ocean.
The campground offers a variety of amenities, including a pool and hot tub, which are perfect for relaxing after a day of activities. For pet owners, there's a convenient dog park where dogs can run and play.
The RV sites nice, but not very spacious. It is super nice that full hook-ups are standard. Tent sites are also available and offer a comfortable camping experience.
This is NOW A FULL TIME RESIDENCY park now
The wildlife is prolific, so no standing garbage collection can accept at the Corner Store. Which has fair prices and ice. I would ask for a camp site on high ground to distance the camp from the Mosquito breeding grounds.
I usually dispersed camp, so it was a lot more noisy and active than i'm used to. Most people seem pretty polite, though.And the bathrooms had warm showers, complimentary, and flushing toilets!
Stayed here in 2020 (I think?) late summer. Beautiful walks down to the creek, and beautiful scenery. But not much otherwise as far as trails or things to pass the time nearby. Obviously, there are coastal sites to drive to, but nothing immediate. Maybe I didn't explore it well enough?
Visiting family up and down the Oregon coast and Cresent city we have stayed in couple of these RV parks, @house of hazards
Really loved staying 2 days here. Great location near South Bend. Property was well maintained by the private owner. I loved the huge fire pit, quiet location and having the deer visit camp.
the "hike in" camp sites are located between the trash compactor and recycling cans and the parking lot of the ranger station that leaves lights on all night.. so the trees are blown out by the light and it's nearly impossible to see the stars through the trees, and the trash compactor likes to go off randomly at 5:00 a.m.. athe sites are very small and close together. the other major problem is the squirrels in the campground and the previous campers that left piles of scrap for them to snack on. the first thing I see upon arriving at our campsite is a squirrel coming out of a neighboring tent that it chewed a hole through carrying a bag of graham crackers. (yes, do not leave food in your tent..) I chase the squirrel away multiple times to have the same squirrel come back over and over again.. I'm pretty sure that the same squirrel was the one that I witnessed climbing up into other people's tents and trying to steal food the entire time.
this is also a large campground with a lot of people and their children and dogs.. screaming children and barking dogs.. and that started at sunrise.
the campground and park are beautiful and I will try again in the off season..
This KOA was very nice. They have a variety of sites to choose from. Sites are small-ish, but they weren't full during our stay so we had plenty of space. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit. They have plenty of kid-friendly activities, including playgrounds, a jumping pillow, horseshoe pits, 2 pools (indoor and outdoor), a rec room w/ air hockey, pool, indoor basketball and ping pong. We were there on a weekend, so they had bingo and a movie night during our stay. The rec room has plenty of activities to occupy the kids when it's raining (which it does here a lot). Internet was slow, and they have a lot of activities that are an additional fee. Overall, we had a good experience at this campground.
