Best RV Parks & Resorts near Ilwaco, WA

Just east of Hwy 101 in Cannon Beach, this RV resort is an easy (really!) 10 minute walk to the beach, just north of Haystack Rock. A sidewalk underpass under 101 and a path through a small city park makes it a family-friendly, dog-friendly walk to the outstanding beach sunsets. A bit longer walk (or easy bike ride) takes you into the heart of Cannon Beach with all the restaurants, ice cream shops, galleries, coffee shops and candy stores. Campground is open year round, has full hook-ups, good wifi, well managed and maintained, has an indoor pool and hot tub (pool facility was closed during covid, check on availability) decent bath houses (also closed during covid), nice sites with lots of tall trees. They also sell propane, firewood and have a gas station. (And they even have an electric car charging station, if you need it) Fun fact: In the winter months you will likely see the local elk herd around town. Note: no tents allowed and our ATT service only has one bar at our site. Would definitely recommend this place for RV camping.

This RV Park is located right off the highway in Longbeach, WA. This is more of a long term local place than a place you want to go on vacation.

Very large RV/tent park with guard gate.
Open year-round, this RV Park is located in the town of Seaside on the Oregon Coast. Situated amid scenic views and historic sites, Seaside RV Resort offers guests opportunities for hiking, biking, whale watching, salt-water fishing and swimming. Located between Astoria and Cannon Beach with lots of attractions nearby like the Air Museum, the Seaside Aquarium and Lewis and Clark historical sites nearby.

I normally try to stay away from RV parks as a tent person but this little private park surprised me. They don’t really have the daily changing business but rather long term RVers. Therefore, it’s pretty quiet despite a little road noise. Clean restrooms/showers (coin operated). The restaurant is not open because of the pandemic at the moment.

A large grassy area for both long term and short term RV rental. What was nice is that we were spaced out during this covid epidemic. They also have some cabins and prices are reasonable for full hookups.

Tucked away in the trees of Cannon Beach is this nice little RV Resort. All amenities were top notch for your needs at a park. The Elk greeted us and were eating all the flowers as we entered. Gas station, propane, laundry, showers, convenience store, pool and two shower/restroom facilities. Paved parking spots with fire pit, picnic tables and full hookup.

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. You can drive your car right up onto the beach, which was awesome. The showers and laundry were very clean. Site were full hookups, but very close together. Sites are very close together with no privacy. There are many long-term RV's here. The area fronting the river is very well landscaped and offers fire rings, benches, grills, and a nature path to walk your dog.

We followed our RV GPS right to the campground(CG). Up front, last January, we won 6 free nights at a Thousand Trails resort at an RV Life event at the Tampa RV Show. As we were wintering on the Oregon coast, we decided to try out the Seaside Resort based on the reviews. Our expectations were not met. We needed to come in a day early, making our total stay here 7 days, so our nighty rate was based on the charge for the extra night. We received an email giving us the gate code and telling us to proceed into the park, choose a site, get set up, and then go check in. We went to the north side where the 50 AMP hookups are located, and used the provided gate code to enter. It was raining the day we arrived, and we noticed a lot of the sites had standing water. We saw that site 158 was not flooded out, so we chose this FHU site. As we were setting up, one of the CG workers came by politely asking us where our truck tag was. We told him we had followed the email instructions to choose a site and get set up, then we would go over to the south side ranger station and check-in. He then asked us how we got through the gate, and we told him the gate code was in the email. He seemed surprised. After we set up, we went over to the check-in booth/ranger station and received our welcome and information package; they were not aware of the new email procedures. The water pressure was around 60 psi, so we used a reducer. The gravel site was not level, and we had to use blocks. The sites were very close together. We got 3 bars on Verizon and had a clear shot north for Starlink. We do not like to be negative, but the north side looked like a refugee camp. We are mainly talking about the center area, not the cul-de-sacs where the cabins and surrounding loops were located. Referring to the refugee comment, some of the rigs were very old/poor shape, and/or the long-term members didn't take care of their rigs or their campsite. While we were there, an old Cougar trailer came in with a screwdriver holding the entry door closed and a red condemned sticker on the other side. On the positive side, the indoor pool is nice, and there’s a good-sized dog area on the north side. There’s a gate at the entrance, and the water makes a natural fence around the area where you can let the dogs off-leash. The south side also has a smaller but nice fenced dog area. There’s a clean laundry room located on the south side that has 6 machines each and uses a kiosk to pay. The cost per wash and dry was$2 each. The workers and residents were very nice. Their shower facilities were updated and clean. This is a beautiful property, and Seaside could be a top-rated CG with north-side site upgrades, TLC, and tough love to move permanent residents on or make them clean up their sites.

this is a thousand trails resort but you can stay without the membership. you get to pick any spot you want when you arrive. first come first choice.

we had a nice location with some shade.

biggest negative is they charge extra for internet. fire pit. etc.

We are enjoying a free year of Thousand Trails membership and this was another last min stay, it was packed! But it’s the middle of summer, and we were able to find a spot in overflow same day. They called us personally, and we’re fantastic. Great amenities, and the CLEANEST bathroom I’ve seen yet this week camping.

This small RV park is located on the Columbia River in Cathlamet WA. Sites vary from tent to full hookup.

Gated entry. Make sure to bring your RV insurance info or expect a lecture from the front desk before they let you in (they actually are very nice). First Thousand Trails I have tried. It’s basically a big parking lot with hookups. No privacy between sites. Everything looks a bit raggedy. The WiFi cost’s extra and didn’t work for most of my devices (as in disconnect or wouldn’t connect). Decent T-mobile signal. Enough to work with the booster. Didn’t try the pool or any of the amenities so can’t comment on them other than they also look a bit raggedy. This would be a place I come out of the sheer convenience of being only a little over an hour away and it’s location near Astoria and Cannon Beach. Seaside blows unless you like lots of not well trained kids and whiskey tangos everywhere. All in all it’s average and convenient.

This is a really nice RV Resort right in the middle of Cannon Beach. You almost don’t feel like you’re camping. With an indoor pool, jungle gym for kids, basketball court and of course the beach down the street what more could you want. Safe, clean and a beautiful area to be in.
