1 night at Unique Bay Front Camping

OMG what a great place! If you’re looking for a private, clean, beautiful spot, this is it! Everything was perfect. I can’t recommend this place enough.

3 nights at Unique Bay Front Camping

Beach was not what we were expecting. May have just been bad timing - lots of seaweed and debris. The site is amazing. Great views, private, and plenty of room to walk and enjoy nature.

1 night at Unique Bay Front Camping

Beautiful view and nice campground. I would stay here again. Host was amazing

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

The location was amazing! Clean, great views, private, and the host was responsive to every question I had! 10/10 recommend!!!!

Weekend Trip to West Sunny Sands Beach Campsites

We just left the camp and has an amazing time! Maria was prompt and very responsive with lots of activity suggestions. The owner of the place greeted us when we arrived and asked to let Marie know if we needed anything and that he’d be happy to help. He gathered wood for us prior and showed us where there is more wood if we needed. He also gave us eggs his hens just hatched fresh and also let us greet and pet his friendly dogs! We felt very welcome and safe. The camp site itself is very clean and has lots of room with clean porta potties (2) and an area for games (beach volleyball and corn hole). Overall wonderful experience with wonderful hosts. The island is also amazing to explore as well and we went kayaking at the marina. Fun experience, we recommend!

Weekend Trip to Coastal Family Hideaway

The camp spot could not be more perfect! We loved the ability to walk to the beach and have a totally private feel to the camp site. The directions from Suzanne were spot on. Can’t wait to come back again!

Weekend Trip to Cedar to Surf Campground

Helpful and kind hosts. We didn’t join in, but cool shared campfire social space. Appreciate laundry room after spilling coffee on our quilt. Bathrooms/shower and community room great for cleaning up after big hike. Thanks to the hosts!

Weekend Trip to Cedar to Surf Campground

Nice quiet smaller Rv park. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Big free shower is always a plus. Spots on the sides are smaller but very functional for a smaller trailer or tent. Middle pull through or sites at beach side more suited for larger trailers or Rv’s. Great beach access, less than a 5 minute walk.

Weekend Trip to Cedar to Surf Campground

The campground is well located and very well maintained. Our space had all the hookups for our RV and as well as picnic table.

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

Great spot! Nice location for a quiet trip. There is a little drop off so if you have kids, do beware.

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

Great place to hang out over a long weekend. Clean, quiet, and relaxing. Kids loved playing along the beach.

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

This was a great spot to stay at with our RV. Our kids loved the beach access and we found that it wasn't super windy in comparison to the more coastal areas. We also enjoyed being able to walk the stretch and keep an eye on our kiddos from where we parked. The instructions for entry were very clear and the spot was easily accessible, and it fit our 39ft RV comfortably. We were able to fly kites, hang out on the beach, and our kiddos swam a bit while the water was out due to tides. It was also within driving distance of aberdeen (20 mins or so) and 15 minutes of westport. We'd be happy to visit again some day!

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

This is our favorite Hipcamp. In our family we simply refer to is as the Westport property. Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

Weekend Trip to Tokeland beach front campsite

Great little spot on the bay, bathrooms are close, and a cool little crab shack real close awesome views, bare bones flat spot, with fire pit up on the rocks

Weekend Trip to Barrett's Beach Spot

Enjoyed our stay. Site was quiet, easy to find and access. Close to the beach and flushing toilet was a huge plus/must for us as we were car camping with an SUV and didn't have our own toilet. Bathroom was well kept and clean. Fire pits and tables were a nice touch and made the site comfortable.

3 nights at Coastal Family Hideaway

This was a great spot and a dog lovers dream! We truly were hidden away in the beautiful little forest behind the dunes, out of the wind and still close to the beach. The trail to the beach was still flooded in some areas, which is to be expected this time of year. But the ground was soft and we just went barefoot. Our 4 large dogs were free to romp and sniff as there is a long private and gated driveway and the path to the beach is hidden and not too close so we did not have to worry about our pups at all. Also, the spot is close to Ocean Shores for stores and restaurants, but still so private and secluded that it does not feel like you are anywhere near it. We loved it and hope to come back soon!

2 nights at Unique Bay Front Camping

Great little campground. Only 5 total sites. We were the only ones there. A bit windy and cold. Right on the beach. Can’t get better than that!

3 nights at Unique Bay Front Camping

It was a very spacious and relaxing campsite great views of the Bay and my wife and I really enjoyed ourselves with our dog. The host was great to work with

1 night at Abby's Place

Exactly as advertised. Easy walking distance to anywhere. Right down the street from the entrance to Long Beach proper. Earplugs and eye mask … safe and easy.

All of our sites have full hook-ups (water, sewer, and power). The sites are just a couple feet from the bay with access to miles of beach hiking. You can walk to Bottle Beach State Park which is approximately 1 mile north or hike about a mile south to Elk River. Enjoy unobstructed views of Westport and the freight ships coming into the harbor. Enjoy a peaceful beach with amazing sunsets. Whether you are surfing for the weekend or tuna-fishing, this is your go to spot - you will not be disappointed.

Cedar to Surf Campground

15 sites · RVs3 acres · Ocean Park, WA

This campground was developed in the 1950s by a husband and wife team and later passed to their children. My partner and I were lucky enough to purchase it in Oct 2020 and our goal is to bring it to its original beauty and charm with the most up to date amenities. Long Beach Peninsula has been a family vacation destination for a long time and there's so much fun to be had on every inch of land! Located centrally between Leadbetter Point and Cape Disappointment, we have 16 full hookup RV sites (30 amp power/water/septic/Wifi) close enough to enjoy the fun of Long Beach and Ocean Park, but far enough to retreat to your camp for quiet and relaxation. Hang out in the rec room or at a fire pit, play horseshoes or bocce ball with family, or take a short walk down our dune path to watch the sun set on the ocean.

Coastal Family Hideaway

1 site · RV, Tent4 acres · Ocean Shores, WA

Ocean Shores is known as a small charming coastal community with an abundance of recreational and cultural activities. It is also surrounded by miles of sandy beaches on the Pacific Ocean as well as Grays Harbor. Its 23 miles of inter-connected canals and lakes charm you with their breathtaking views. Surrounded by trees and vegetation you will have all the privacy you seek as you are the only campers here. This is a very large space to share with those of your choosing. There are no "lights out" or "quiet times" for you to worry about. Large open space for camping with friends and family to gather and enjoy each others company. Dogs are able to be leash free and enjoy the space as well. Only a ten min private walk to the ocean through the dunes to enjoy beautiful sandy beaches, kite flying, picnics on the beach, day camping, amazing sunsets and so much more. Rubber boots (maybe some waders, depending on the winter) are recommended for the hike to the beach during the winter months (November-May) as you will have a small trek through seasonal wet lands. You may also access the beach/ocean by vehicle just a few minutes away in town. You will be located between the Quinault Casino and the City of Ocean Shores where you can enjoy all the wonderful activities there is to offer. If kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding is what you are seeking, many are unaware of the 23 miles of scenic canals in the City of Ocean Shores. You may also fish for bass, rainbow trout, yellow perch and bluegill sunfish in these waterways. I hear there are a couple little Islands to explore as well. What a hidden treasure! There are three launch sites available we can give if needed. And if you left something at home, sitting there thinking he was going to grab it (haha) no worries, you more than likely can grab it in town. The Ace hardware is amazing! There is an Arcade, golf, miniature golf, go carts, water go carts, bowling, horseback rentals (seasonal) for the beach, electric bike rentals, scooter rentals and so many more activities for you to enjoy. A wonderful place where memories are made.
