Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

Awesome camp site! Great location, very clean and on the beach. We are coming back in October!

It was one of the most beautiful places we’ve been. The other campers were really nice. Everything was good. We had a nice walk on the beach and a fire.

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

This is a beautiful site. It’s right on the water. We loved having full hook-ups, which you don’t get at a lot of other HipCamps. We had a nice walk on the beach. It was quiet at night and we had a wonderful fire.

2 nights at Cranberry Moon - RV Oasis

Hello, The site worked for us because of location to Westport. We also liked the walk to the beach.

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

We loved our stay in the yurt! Every was considered when Karin put it together: like one of the best stocked vacation kitchens I've used😌 Just lovely! Couldn't recommend more! Molly the camp host dog was also so sweet.

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

All 5 sites were flat, spacious, had all noted amenities and were right up to the beach. Nice and quiet but I met some really nice neighbors. Plenty of wood for a campfire. Glad to hear they're open year round. I plan on being back. Very nice location and hosts.

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

Easy access and lovely spots! The view is great and the spots are very roomy. Second time staying there and we will be back!

Weekend Trip to RV+ Rainbow Falls / Willapa Trails

Where do I even begin? This place has everything! Trees, gardens, wildlife, a creek, beautiful star filled skies, chickens, farm cats, rv spots, tent spots, air BnB, and Dan. I’m pretty sure Dan and my wife became best friends. He showed us all around the property, showing us all of the beautiful foods and flowers they grow, the history of the property, and took us on walks by the creek for agate hunting and cedar branches to make walking sticks. Waking in the morning to the sound of the trees rustling and the birds chirping was the cherry on top. For those tent camping or not equipped with a bathroom, they’ve thought of everything! There’s a camper bathroom with shower, toilet, sink, and laundry! I could go on and on. David was very thoughtful and checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. If you love nature, great conversation, with thoughtful amenities, this is your place. We will definitely return!

Weekend Trip to RV+ Rainbow Falls / Willapa Trails

Beautiful area conveniently located near the Willapa Hills state park trail.

5 nights at Coastal Family Hideaway

Camped here for the first time last week. This site is going to be added to our list of sites to visit frequently. Such a clean, peaceful, private, and quiet site. Most of the time all you could hear was the ocean, birds, and frogs. Our two golden retrievers loved being able to run around off leash and just be dogs. If you have been thinking about staying here, just do it. You will love it.

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

As always, this site was beautiful and well maintained. It has a perfect view of the beach, and is quiet and safe. The host is always helpful and very responsive. We've visited multiple times and will definitely be back

2 nights at Cranberry Moon - RV Oasis

Very clean and well kept area. Two sites side by side. Electricity at both- looks like the owner is improving the sites with water in the future! Not directly on the beach, but a quick walk gets you there. Road noise wasn’t bad. Could hear the ocean over it. Book a stay here! You won’t be disappointed!

1 night at Unique Bay Front Camping

Beautiful spot with a nice little beach. We could hear the sea lions. Full hook up was nice and everything was well maintained. Beautiful sunsets and we highly recommend.

Unique Bay Front Camping

5 sites · RVs6 acres · Aberdeen, WA

PLEASE NO FIREWORKS ON SITE OR SURROUNDING AREA. We bought this land in 2017, there were 7 derelict mobile homes on the property. We cleaned up the area and remodeled the house next door and put in the 5 RV sites. We hope you enjoy this property as much as we do, it is a one-of-a-kind beautiful, quiet place. 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. Westport is 7 miles by car and the Westport Winery is only 5 miles. There is two nearby boat launches - one off of Elk River just 2 miles away and the other off of Johns River launch just 6 miles away. We are located in the middle of an outdoor paradise and want others to enjoy all it has to offer. ***If you have questions about how to add sites to your reservation or change dates, please reach out to HipCamp support. They will be able to better assist you.***

RV+ Rainbow Falls / Willapa Trails

9 sites · RVs, Tents56 acres · Chehalis, WA

(This is a leave no trace site. You must take all of your garbage with you!) Just 1.5 hours from Seattle, Portland, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, & Olympic National Park, just 3 minutes from Rainbow Falls State Park and 4 minutes from Willapa Biking Trail! We are located on top of Bunker Hill nestled between the Dunn creek and Chehalis river. Our property is 56 acres of mixed biomes including multi-generational forests, open meadows, and creek side trails. We are located right off Chandler Road, off of Highway 6. You turn onto Labri road (white sign) and you're on the property after going through a gate. Meander down the road past a red barn and several buildings on your right. Through the second gate, the dispersed camping site offers various sites for camping attached to a main trail that parallels the Dunn creek down to the Chehalis river. They are conveniently accessible off the logging roads which cross with Labri road after you've passed through the second gate. If you take the logging road to the left (look for a blue and white ribbon) you will come up to a tree line where you can park (another blue and white ribbon) and either take the trail to the left or right where you will find ample places to camp. You may camp along the trail or closer to the creek. The most ideal spot is right after you park near the blue and white ribbon if you walk North you'll see a site marked with an orange and white ribbon. This site has easy access to the creek but is still on a hill. There are four RV spots with full onsite hook-up. Two of the RV sites are paved and lit with ground lights and are prioritized for heavier rigs. The other two sites are on grass. We have two RV sites with no hook up (boondocking) but bathroom and shower access. We do not allow dumping of grey water or sewage at our property but there is a dump station just 1 minute away at Rainbow Falls State Park. The site is located on a hill so you get very nice view of sunsets and sunrises. For those who enjoy bird watching the nearby fruit trees bring in many birds. We are an ideal location for those who love the outdoors or just want to have private family events. 6 mi from Jones Creek Brewing, 7 mi from Evey's Cafe & Pe Ell, 20 mi from I-5, 69 mi Westport Quiet hours are from 11pm - 8am.

Lost Valley Farm Camp

5 sites · RVs, Tents31 acres · WA

Time to start making camping plans again!!!! We hope you will come enjoy the refreshing privacy and quiet of camping on our beautiful, small-scale, organic farm. This is a great place to get away from the scattered urgency of modern life. We want you to reconnect with what matters most and get some new inspiration! We are 25 minutes west of I-5, halfway between Seattle and Portland. Pacific Ocean beaches are 1.5 hours away. Our guests love the near-by swimming hole, shared fire areas, fresh produce and clean outhouses. Meeting the farm animals, napping in the hammocks, mastering the rope swing and wandering the many paths are also memory-makers. Some of our "extras" -- Farm Tours, Propane Firebowls, Saunas, and more -- are available for purchase when you make your booking. ALL SITES have flat tent spots, a picnic table, hammock, sun, shade, outhouse access and room to park. Sites are 300 feet apart, on average. More details about each site can be seen in the listing. {PLEASE NOTE that some photos have been uploaded by guests and are not actually posted in relation with the correct site #.} If you are un-sure WHICH ONE to choose, send a message describing your "party" and desired experience. We will help you select a site. We also have areas that can be turned into a "group kitchen" if you want to reserve the ENTIRE camping area for a reunion, party, retreat, training, etc. Come recharge yourself in our little corner of God's Pocket!

In the spring and summer see our returning osprey who have. nested on our dock since 2013. There are now 2 osprey platform since a pair of Canada geese choose that as their nesting site as well. Some bald eagles winter here but we have our resident bald eagles Hep and Hope. They arrived in 2003 to start their nest on Crims Island. They still nest there although there old nest tree collapsed in 2020. Many birds migrate here for the winter.
