Camping near Long Beach

·

Just north of Cape Disappointment State Park on the southern Washington Coast, the city of Long Beach is a popular getaway for Pacific Northwesterners, particularly in the summertime. It's known for its lively boardwalk and pretty beaches, which are at their most festive in August, when the city host's the Washington State International Kite Festival. While Long Beach has plenty to offer on its own, it's also a great place to visit nearby state parks from the nearby Leadbetter Point State Park and Fort Columbia Historical State Park, to Oregon’s Fort Stevens State Park on the opposite side of the Columbia River.

Twisted Tree Camp s a 13 acre property about 5 miles north of Long Beach, Washington. The property is long and skinny, we have built road that accesses the back of the property. The campsite is in the middle of the woods, you can wake up to many birds singing and no neighbors in sight. In the evening you can listen to the frogs singing while you stare at th campfire. The road winds thru the trees and this is not suitable for vehicles longer than 23 feet or wider than 8 feet. There are multiple twisted trees along the road as you drive in to the campsite. We have recently built the road to the campsite at the back of the land so there is still evidence of recent construction along the road. There are two cameras on site - one at the entrance along Pacific Way and one by the campsite at the end of the road. Cameras are there to monitor the site after hipcampers have left and will not be on while campers have rented the space. Nearby there is SnowPeak Campfield that has a sauna and hot tub. There are many restaurants and public beaches to experience. During the summer there are numerous events like the kite festival, sandcastle festival, Rod Run and others.

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. It's still a work in progress! 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.

Long Beach camping guide

Where to go

Westport Light State Park

Further north on the Washington Coast, this surfer's paradise promises great waves in the winter and spring, though plenty of people come just to stroll and take in ocean views from one or both of the park's two beaches. It's also the site of the Grays Harbor Lighthouse, which stands 107 feet tall, making it the tallest lighthouse in Washington state.

Fort Stevens State Park

On the northwestern tip of Oregon, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Columbia River, this 4,300-acre park is full of things to do, from hiking and cycling on its 15 miles of trails to checking out military-related ephemera in the on-site military museum. One of its most unusual features is the remains of the Peter Iredale shipwreck, which are plopped down right on an ocean beach.

Lewis and Clark National Wildlife Refuge

Just across the Columbia River, which marks the border between Washington and Oregon, this wildlife refuge protects an extensive swathe of marshlands, riparian forests, and sandbars. It provides a rich ecosystem for non-migrant and migratory birds alike, along with wild salmon and even sea lions. Wildlife watching is a big draw here, along with boating and fishing, but camping is prohibited for the sake of protecting the natural environment.

When to go

The most pleasant months to visit Long Beach are from July through September, when the weather is generally at its warmest and driest.

These include Sandsations, a showcase of sand sculpture that's held in July, and the Washington State International Kite Festival, which takes place every August.
