This was such a wonderful place to camp! The campsite felt very private, you could constantly hear the ocean, and it was literally about 10 steps from the sand.
It was my first time visiting Westport, and I stayed for three days. I spent one of those days driving up to Ocean Shores, and honestly, I wish I would’ve just stayed in Westport! I much preferred Westport’s cute downtown and boardwalk area and how walkable everything was. There wasn’t much for me to do in Ocean Shores, and between the wind and all the vehicles driving on the beach, it didn’t really feel like the kind of beach where I could just lay out and relax. Westport was much more my speed.
My only real recommendation that would’ve made the campsite even better would be picnic tables. I probably should’ve looked into that beforehand and brought my own table, but I didn’t, so I ended up doing a lot of my cooking on the trunk of my car lol. Definitely something I’d come prepared for next time!
A couple of other things worth knowing: the neighbors have two dogs that roam around the beach and campsite quite a bit. I’m not a huge dog person, and they would randomly pop up next to my tent at night or come hang out around the fire lol, but they were very friendly and honestly didn’t bother me at all. There’s also a pretty bright streetlight nearby, so I’d keep that in mind when choosing where and which direction to set up your tent if you prefer it dark at night.
Overall, Westport and this spot 100%!!!
