"Decided to take my pups camping, invested in a ton of gear and chose Twin Harbors based on the short distance to the beach as well as crabbing in Westport."
"We took our small children to Twin Harbors and found it to be a nice escape from the heat."
"My family stayed at Grayland beach, our first camping trip after moving from Minnesota to Washington."
"Great quiet park with friendly staff always there to help. Bathrooms and showers are clean but super cold in the fall season. Each site is laid out to be so private and filled with trees."
"Electrical HU only but dump site available. It's right off the beach with a little shop in walking distance. There's also a motel with an accessible laundry room nearby."
"Our Trip down the coast ended at Pacific Beach Washington, camp or rent a cottage and walk off deck to your own private ocean front spot!!"
"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."
"Bathrooms are clean. Laundry facility works really well. And the little walking trails along the river were gorgeous. Again, for a tiny town, this site was a treat."
"Visitors are welcome but it can be very busy during the summer time and holidays. I would call for availability."
"This place is truly amazing- it’s best feature is proximity to the beach. A 5 minute walk to a relatively private beach. Compared to ocean shores this place was quite and more private."
"Nice wooden privacy fence behind all the rv sites. Picnic table and firepit with movable grill on it. Propane grill next to sand play area. Wifi was good. NO Cell reception for T-Mobile or Verizon."
"The nearness of the trail to the beautiful beach was a huge plus. Super relaxing ...hope to return soon!"
"Staff was great, hook ups, open campground with a club house & beach access."
"The beach side butts up against some grassy dunes with a trail that leads directly to “our” own almost private beach."
"Tent camped here twice, very secluded tent sites. Can be windy. Took my 35' trailer here recently. Love the camp host, find your site let me know what you chose or don't I'll figure it out."
$24 - $48 / night
"As we made our way up Highway 101, we were able to get a last minute reservation at Kalaloch for the night (which apparently can be rare).
It is about 11 minutes south of Ruby Beach (photos!)"
"Nice beautiful view of ocean bathroom very clean. Quite with very little road noise. Grocery store1/4 mile south fully stocked"
$50 - $85 / night
"was really nice and gave us a portable fire pit to use beachside our site did not have one (which we knew about before hand)"
"The waterfront sites remain our top pick, with the breathtaking sunset views and natural wildlife that surrounded us. Plus, the fires by the water added an extra touch of coziness to our stay."
ScoutThis an ideal beach access resort. There is a very nice pedestrian walkway bridge over a small stream and then a short walk through the dunes to a beautiful ocean beach. During certain times of the year vehicles are allowed to drive on the beach through various access points within a couple of miles of the resort.
We visited this resort during the off-season in November and during the middle of the week. There were only 8 other campers in the park with a few long termers. You can purchase a membership but it is not necessary to stay here. Visitors are welcome but it can be very busy during the summer time and holidays. I would call for availability.
This is an older park and facilities show their age but the bathrooms and showers were very clean. There is a dedicated tent only area and a few cabin rentals. RV sites are side by side and back to back. There is no shade. RV sites are full hookup with water, power, sewer and cable. There is also a dump site on location. Wi-fi is available for a fee, otherwise not accessible. We forgot to sign-in to our Winegard Gateway before arriving so we had data but no Wi-fi. Gravel sites with a little grass and fairly level.
Pet friendly but dogs must be leashed. Our dog had a great time running on the beach and walking the trails in the dunes.
Propane and ice available on site.
There is a community fire pit and portable propane fire pits are allowed at the sites.
Not all sites have picnic tables.
The town of Ocean Shores is about a 20 minute drive.
On site resort manager, Timothy and his wife, were very friendly and always willing to help.
ScoutAaron and wife have done a tremendous job of revamping this camp. Clean and up to date facilities, gorgeous community outdoor kitchen, full rev hook ups, easy walk to ocean beach, local musicians weekends. Best place to stay in Long Beach.
Guide#27 $40 per night for W/S/30amp/G. Friendly, very accommodating, & welcome service. Very rustic with no access to the beach because of Copalis River blocking the way. Close to Quinault Casino & Ocean Shores. If you need a place to stay because it’s the weekend and the state parks are booked, you will find one here.
TravelerThe Quinault Lake campground in Olympic National Forest is one of those rare quiet and scenic car-camping sites where you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the place without having to backpack or drive up rugged remote roads. We camped in early October and there were many beautiful sites to choose from. And I mean beautiful. We chose a site right on the lake with a tent platform under a Western red cedar and a separate section with a full table. There was a bathroom just a short 2 minute walk away. It rained - as it tends to do in the Olympics - all night but with the shade of the cedar and our waterproof tent we remained dry. The campground is just down the road from the Lake Quinault Lodge - a beautiful, rustic resort where we showered in the morning, sat by a roaring fire, and got a delicious (and decently priced) breakfast.
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!
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.
GuideThis place is truly amazing- it’s best feature is proximity to the beach. A 5 minute walk to a relatively private beach. Compared to ocean shores this place was quite and more private. The only downside we found was some of the facilities were pretty run down.
TravelerMy family stayed at Grayland beach, our first camping trip after moving from Minnesota to Washington. So glad we didn't go to Ocean Shores, you can see all the tourists across the water from the observation tower in Grays Harbor.
Saw my first banana slug, a huge yellow one that crawled out from the water spigot post at the campsite!
We went back several times, including for one winter storm in January that cleared out all the campers but us, until we realized the yurt had no power (hence no heat) and found that there was no power all the way to Aberdeen! The pounding of the surf all night sounded like a freight train on the other side of the dune, we didn't get a very restful night but that's not because of the park- it's always exciting. We spent hours chasing waves, collecting sand dollar shells, and even found the remains of a large ray washed up on the beach.
We have talked to campground hosts who RV full time, seeing the whole country- but who say Grayland is their favorite!
Interesting to go down to the cannery road, and see the shoreline disappearing year upon year...people's houses lost to the waves.
TravelerDecided to take my pups camping, invested in a ton of gear and chose Twin Harbors based on the short distance to the beach as well as crabbing in Westport. It was great, the bathrooms were clean, staff incredibly friendly! The east side camp sites were reservable and private with trees around each site, and the West side first come first serve but closer to the beach. I had reserved on the east side but ended up moving to the West side since my pups love the water. There's a fire pit in each site and picnic table. Just overall great experience
