Twin Harbors State Park Campground

Great choice for camping/surfing/hiking out on the coast if your looking for a little more than the dispersed camping on Forest Service land or NP camps. There’s tons of space here and clean facilities. Try to stay in the west campground as it’s an easy walk to the beach where you don’t have to cross the highway. Best of all in Bog Water brewery and pizza across the street is an easy walk and crawl back to your tent!

Space and beach access

My husband and I did our first camping trip here. We only stayed on night. It was a great camp ground, but a bit buggy. Thankfully the mosquitos went away when the sun went down. The bath rooms we were near did not have showers, but did have a flushing toilet and a sink. The grounds were well maintained, and had a convenient store about 5 minutes away. The great thing about Twin Harbors is the beach was less then a 10 minute walk away!

Great for one night

We had a great stay here. The beach was awesome. Just a short drive to Grayland where we set off fireworks for the 4th of July. 

Relaxing and next to the ocean

My family has been staying here every year for the last 10 years or so.  There are two parts to the campground and we always stay on the side closest to the ocean.  It can be a little breezy and damp as goes beach camping.  Some of the spots are very close together and for some reason other campers get confused and have often walked right through my campsite.  Dogs are allowed so there will be many.  The bathrooms are pretty cleaned, stocked and there are even individual showers.  Westport is a short drive and gives additional entertainment options and there is a grocery store for anything you may need or have forgotten.  Sunsets are beautiful here!

Annual Family Trip

First off we camped here for my cousin, hence the title. The campground is very clean with showers and bathrooms. We did find issues with a few dogs off their leashes but most were leashed. The camp sites are stacked right on top of one another so your neighbors will be a part of EVERYTHING! The little walking trails were my favorite part and completely empty during our visit. This is not my style of camping. The beach was down a short trail and was gorgeous. I shall go crawl back under my dispersed rock now...

Jamping

We stayed here for the weekend. It was good. The RV sites are super close to one another, but the tent sites were a little more wooded and secluded.

family camp trip

We wanted a relaxing pre-Labor Day get away so we booked a tent campsite for the weekend at Twin Harbors. The campground was well kept and the restrooms/showers were nice and clean. The rangers emphasized no off-leash when we checked-in so we did not encounter dogs free roaming around the campsite, but it was an off-leash free for all at the beach. We unfortunately were surrounded by people with small children that ran around the campground climbing and shaking the trees, riding and falling off their bikes/scooters, screaming and crying a whole bunch for what seemed like no reason --- you know, doing what kids do. The campsites are stacked right on top of each other so there is zero buffer zone between you and your neighbors. So much for quiet, relaxing getaway. Luckily, the well maintained trails and the gorgeous empty long stretch of beach made up for all the chaos at the campground. Wake up early and you'll have the beach all to yourself! Also, bring dollar bills for the shower token machine. It does not take coins.

Gorgeous beach! Holy screaming kids AAAHHHH!

This was one of my favourite camp sites on the whole trip. There was a dedicated area for cyclists which just so happened to be right next to the beach. There were a few of us that night so we were close together over a couple of sites but that was fine by us.

What mattered was that we could hear the ocean as it was a couple minutes walk from the beach.

The general facilities were good - shower block, toilets, running water, and it was quite a busy time of the year but it was family friendly and respectful

Twin Harbors WA - Beautiful

Buggy!

Pros: Close to the ocean so you can hear the waves at night while you fall asleep, lots of clean bathrooms with lots of showers, close to downtown Westport where you can fish and crab off the dock
Cons: Campsites are very close together, not much privacy (I could hear neighbors having conversations through the yurt walls)

Pet Friendly Yurt

We took our small children to Twin Harbors and found it to be a nice escape from the heat. It was nice to see the park rangers continuously coming through picking up trash and checking in on campers if needed. Quiet campground which was a relief after reading other reviews. Clean bathrooms and well stocked considering the campground was full. A nice walk to the beach where we were able to collect lots of sand dollars. The camp is just a short drive from Westport, a cute charter town. When we arrived the check in hostess was extremely friendly and made the start of our experience a memorable one.

Clean, family friendly beach camping 

We camped here for our honeymoon party. Brought a ton of friends and partied there. I cannot say that we were model citizens, but then again there were plenty of little boys climbing the trees to see into our camp after we put up tarps for privacy screens. This place has some greenery to make privacy between spaces, but it is always busy when we were there. There’s ice cream vendors and firewood trucks that come through the park, so it is not exactly an escape from civilization at all. Really close to all Westport can offer. 

Busy place

Stayed here over the weekend in our tent trailer in site 19. My bed was 7ft away from a large group of peoples camp chairs in the site behind us. Power water and sewer hookups are so far away from eachother I had to buy another water hose in town. Site didn't have a fireplace just an elevated chsrcoal grill box which sucked because I brought alot of firewood. Westport was fun and the beach was amazing. For some reason every time we pulled into the campground literally every single person would stop what they're doing and watch us for some reason. Literally every person. Weird place. Edit to add the pad was extremely unlevel as well

Won't be back

As a tenter, I have less to complain about : ) I also walk around a lot and wear ear buds at night so no one can bother me.  The crowds might get a little unnerving here in a time of COVID, but everyone's doing the right thing by getting outdoors.  I think you can have a much better time if you avoid Fridays and Saturdays.

Bring Ways to Relax

One of the few places we were able to walk-in late in afternoon and find a great spot. Friendly staff helped us pick a quiet spot perfect for us and the pups. Clean facilities and grounds. Potable water. Token showers. Quiet hours were enforced. It is a large park with a lot of spots but nearly as cramped as some of the other state parks in Oregon. 
We loved our stay and would definitely go back next time we’re in the area. We stayed in a site without utilities so maybe those bad reviews were from people who were looking more for a glamping experience. For us dirtbaggers...it was perfect considering we normally try to avoid large parks if we can help it. 
Make sure to check out the fun learning/kiosk trail that explains the sand dunes and ends at a great view of the ocean. 

Large camp near the surf 

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. 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

First camping experience ever!

Friendly campsite . Loop design is good for families. Short walk to beach and dunes.

Nice campground close to the dunes and beach

We loved camping here during the summer! It was cloudy and the air was crisp. Perfect getaway from the heat.

+ Sites are very  close together with very little privacy. Hope you love being stacked up against your neighbors
+ Sites are also pretty small and narrow 
+ Crowded campsite with lots of children 
+ Great for family fun — ride bikes, go for mini hikes on the trails, head to the beach, go to the downtown area snd explore
+ Restrooms are clean and well maintained 
+ Definitely do the Traveling Dunes Nature trail. It had a cute story to follow along the way!


Sweater weather camping 

This State Park is very crowded due to sites being so close together, however you do have excellent access to the beach and Westport. Cell reception is very good 5G with 5 bars 


Crowded by close to the beach

Very clean state park by the beach near Westport. Walking access to the beach. Clean restrooms and warm showers available. Sites are very tight and close to each other so privacy is at a minimum.
