Staff were kind and helpful, bathrooms were nice and clean. Rates can be spendy but it’s a well kept RV park only a mile from Haystack Rock.

Cape Disappointment State Park Campground welcomes pets at its drive-in sites, tent areas, cabins and yurts. Bay Center-Willapa Bay KOA provides similar pet-friendly accommodations across all site types, with tent spots, RV sites, cabins, and yurts that allow dogs. Most campgrounds in the region maintain standard leash policies requiring dogs to remain under control at all times. The Lamp Camp in Long Beach offers 30 sites with full hookups for RVs and tent camping areas where pets are permitted. Cedar to Surf Campground in Ocean Park features sites with trees providing some privacy between camping spots. Campground bathrooms and shower facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, though pet owners should note that no dedicated dog washing stations were mentioned in reviews. Guests often comment on the quiet atmosphere at these campgrounds, making them suitable for pets that may be sensitive to noise.
Multiple beaches near these pet-friendly campgrounds allow for dog walking and water access. A trail at Bay Center-Willapa Bay KOA leads directly to a beach area where campers frequently report being the only visitors, providing ample space for dogs to explore. The trail involves some walking distance, which may be challenging when carrying pets with mobility issues. Cape Disappointment offers both drive-in and walk-in access for campers with pets. Campgrounds in the area typically provide trash receptacles for proper disposal of pet waste. Bay Center-Willapa Bay KOA experienced new ownership in recent years with corresponding price increases. Weather considerations include potential rain even during summer months, so waterproof gear for both humans and pets is advisable. Most campgrounds remain open year-round, allowing for pet-friendly camping regardless of season.

Some well maintained grassy areas for tents, a few tables and benches. Somewhat busy boat launch, and the highway is a bit loud. Otherwise its free and beautiful along the river

GuideHammond Marina RV Park
Lot of older people living here, but very friendly, no safety issues! Full hook ups! The other reviews are talking about the grass area at Seafarer’s Park, 1/4 mile up directly at the river. The Marina RV Park is before that.

Quiet camping by the Bay
Lovely little spot right by Willapa Bay. The campground has 12 sites suitable for tenting, campervans, or small tent trailers. The spots aren’t really designed for trailers, most are a bit uneven, but we were still able to make it work with a camper-van. Sites along the outer edge offer more privacy; the ones in the middle feel a bit more exposed. There’s a nice path down to a small beach area—just check the tide schedule, as high tide can affect access. It’s $20 per night and includes toilets and showers. A large open field nearby is perfect for badminton, basketball, baseball, or soccer, making it a great option for families. When we stayed, there were only three other campers, so it felt quiet and uncrowded.

Don't waste your money or time!
I don't know if there's enough room to tell you how bad this place was. When I made the reservation, they did not give me a site number, and email as a receipt for the down payment of one night, which was 65 per night. On the day of arrival I attempted to call several times during the day and got no answer, and no voicemail. When we finally arrived, the young woman in the office told me I was in site number five, had me scan my card for the second night and basically dismissed me. There was no paperwork to explain anything about the park. I then went to space number five. There is not a level site in this entire park. It is all grassy, and only spaces one through five were minimally mowed. The weeds throughout the park were at least 18 to 20 in tall. In the first row of the RV Park there are several permanent resident trailers. None of them are maintained well if at all. NOW, let me tell you about the shower house... hopefully there will be room for pictures. The path that led from the main gravel road to the shower house is covered with weeds at least knee-high to me. There is no clear path whatsoever, there is trash in these overgrown weeds, and when you get to the 'opening' you realize that there is no door. So you walk through this opening to where there should be a door to the inside room, but there is not. There is a wooden ramp that allows you not to have to step up about a foot, but when you are on your way out that ramp has about a 2-inch warp to it, which poses a very bad trip hazard. You can see by the paint on the wall where a sink should be, but there is none. There are two toilet stalls, each is 'finished' with rough plywood. There are no lights inside the stalls so it is very dark. Then there is the single shower stall, that had tons of dead bugs and dirt on the floor and walls. The shower curtain felt slimy when I just pulled it open. Did I forget to mention the metal folding chair sitting in front of the shower? It was completely rusted! Like anyone was going to use that!? It was quite clear to me that no one working or owning this park cares enough to do any maintenance or cleaning.

Quiet
Very nice quiet small local campground. Easy walk to Wallipa Bay.
Ronica S.TravelerPacific Beach Resort and Conference Center (Military Camping Only)
Pacific Beach RV Resort & Conference Center (Military Affiliated Only)
Pacific Beach RV Resort& Conference Center is a fantastic military‑affiliated campground along the Washington coast. You’ll need a military ID to stay here, but Pacific Beach State Park is nearby if you don’t have access.
I spent a long weekend in site 34, a paved and level back‑in spot. The first part of my stay was stormy—heavy rain and wind made setup tough—but once the weather cleared, the campground felt calm and relaxing. My neighbor in site 35 had some water pooling near their rig, but it didn’t seem to bother them. Connectivity was hit‑or‑miss. My Verizon 5G and Winegard 5G(Verizon) only had one bar, and service dropped often. Thankfully, Navy Gateway’s WiFi filled the gap and worked reliably.
The campground offers water and electric hookups, with a dump station available for departure. Also available were laundry facilities and bath/showers, but I did not use. The tall bushes block ocean views from the sites, but the gazebo offers a beautiful sunset lookout. The beach is an easy walk away. I didn’t go clamming, but plenty of campers were out digging and beachcombing. I found several sand dollars to take home for crafting.
When the sun came out, I drove to Lake Quinault and hiked the Quinault Loop Trail, an easy and scenic 4.6‑mile loop through lush forest. I also visited the World’s Largest Sitka Spruce Tree. I didn’t eat at the Quinault Lodge this trip, but I’ve enjoyed meals there before. A peaceful coastal base with great access to both the beach and the Quinault rainforest.
Highly recommend and would definitely return.

Porter Creek
Perfect beginner and family spot
I went here with my fiance in September. Went on a Friday and there was only 1 other group. Theres about 16 sites from what I saw. Its free as well but first come first served. Getting to it is pretty easy and straight forward aswell, heads up the road turns to gravel and it can get narrow. Most of the sites are along the creek which was very beautiful. Theres also 2 trails in walking distance aswell. Most sites also have a table, and metal fab firepit. Theres also a few out houses for restrooms.
Guide to Oysterville
Campgrounds near Oysterville, Washington sit along the Pacific coast where the Long Beach Peninsula stretches north to south with Willapa Bay to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Elevation ranges from sea level to approximately 200 feet in some areas.

Ocean-facing sites often experience strong westerly winds that can affect tent stability.
What to do
Beach exploration at low tide: Visit the beaches near Cape Disappointment State Park Campground where campers find unique shoreline discoveries. "Walk to the beach to find treasures and sit to relax and just watch the waves. Very peaceful, and my teens loved it!" notes Kimberly T.
Visit historic sites: Spend time exploring the military installations at Fort Stevens State Park Campground just across the Columbia River. "Interesting history abounds, from old forts, to the dangers (still present) of navigation at the mouth of the Columbia River. Great maritime museum in nearby Astoria," shares Patrick M.
Wildlife observation: Early morning beach walks offer the best wildlife viewing opportunities. "Wake up early and you'll have the beach all to yourself!" advises Mercedes D. from Twin Harbors State Park. Look for coastal birds, harbor seals, and during migration seasons, gray whales passing offshore.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the natural separation between sites at several campgrounds. "The campground was packed but our site was still very private, small and cozy. Easy walk to the beach and great ocean views," reports D B. at Cape Disappointment.
Clean facilities: The Lamp Camp receives high marks for its well-maintained amenities. "Bathrooms are incredibly clean with HOT water, and the location can't be beat. I highly recommend grabbing the sites closest to the ocean if you can so you hear the waves as you drift off," notes Tiffany B.
Less crowded beach access: Bay Center-Willapa Bay KOA offers more secluded beach experiences. "We were the only people on the whole beach. Super quiet place," reports Jake H. The walk to the beach includes a trail that's moderately challenging but rewards with solitude.
Community amenities: Some campgrounds provide shared spaces for socializing. "They have an outdoor grilling area and seating area that was first rate," says Pat W. about The Lamp Camp, noting these extras enhance the camping experience beyond individual sites.
What you should know
Seasonal rates and ownership changes: Be aware of price fluctuations between seasons and after ownership transitions. "Sadly the campground is under new management and prices for campsites have doubled. What went for $40 is now $80," cautions Richard B. about Bay Center-Willapa Bay KOA.
Beach access varies significantly: Some campgrounds require substantial walking to reach beaches. "It is a haul up and down to ocean," notes Sharon J. about Bay Center-Willapa Bay KOA. At Grayland Beach State Park Campground, "Walking paths to beach were muddy at this time... but easy to just go out front gate and walk or drive to end of Cranberry road for easy access with parking and rest rooms at end of road," advises Leonard H.
Mosquito preparation: Several campgrounds report significant insect activity. "Bring mosquito repellent!" warns Gail S. about Fort Stevens State Park, while Jenny M. mentions, "I recommended being prepared for any type of weather rain or shine."
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies widely between campgrounds. "I got zero reception in the campground. I use Verizon," reports Christina F. about Cape Disappointment, while other campgrounds like Cedar to Surf offer better connectivity options.
Tips for camping with families
Off-season camping benefits: Consider camping outside peak summer months for a quieter experience. "We just got back from our week long camping trip and like always it was fun. We have been there multiple times, it's one of my favorites. So much for kids to do from exploring, riding bikes, fishing and going to the amphitheater for some stories," shares Jenny M. about Twin Harbors State Park.
Water activities planning: Schedule beach time around tides and winds. "The beach is VERY windy and my mutt was fine walking downwind, but when we turned around she was very unhappy being very low to the ground with sand blowing in her face," explains Kier S. about the pet-friendly beaches at Cape Disappointment.
Campsite selection for noise control: Choose sites carefully based on proximity to facilities and roads. "Although there is not much privacy between sites, the sites are still spacious and mine backed up to woods. My trailer has a large stargazer window on the back and I was able to leave my shades open most of the time," notes Christina F. about her experience at Cape Disappointment.
Tips from RVers
Hookup access planning: Check the specific layout of utility connections before selecting an RV site. "We had to run to town because the water and power hookups are ridiculously far away from where they sit on anyone's trailer or RV," warns C M. about Twin Harbors State Park Campground.
Site leveling challenges: Road to Snag Lake - Dispersed offers free camping but requires preparation. "There are several spots off the road around these radio tower stations and it is quite secluded. The spot we chose was the best as it is away from the towers and buildings, plus has a great view overlooking the valley and bay. The road getting here is a bit rough with washboard, steep grades and rocks," notes Ryan S.
Big rig considerations: Larger RVs should be selective about campgrounds. "We're dry camping in a site w/o hookups (we have solar). The bathrooms are clean, staff is friendly, grounds are well kept. We have a 33' fifth wheel, and we think the area with full utilities would've been tight for us," advises Teresa M. about Ocean City State Park.
