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

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.

4 nights at Unique Bay Front Camping

Nice place to RV camp. Power 30 and 50 amp. Water and sewer hook up. Nice beach to walk on. Good clean sites. Enjoyed our time here very much. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Camp Morning Wood

Great place! Private, quiet and beautiful. Plenty of room to maneuver at 34’ with tow vehicle. 15 minutes from Seabrook/ocean shores. Bring your own water! There are some RV parks in copalis beach that you can fill up at if you prefer not to tow full of water.

Weekend Trip to Coastal Family Hideaway

We really enjoyed our weekend at this campsite. The dogs really had a blast running through the water that covered the beach trail. This is a campsite that we would love to reserve again.

Weekend Trip to The Sands

Very nice facility. Easy in and out. This was an all encompassing resort with camping facilities and hotel accommodations as well. Don’t forget to bring your swim suits.

2 nights at Coastal Family Hideaway

What a great spot! Very private, clean and lots of room to run around. The only hiccup was the path to the beach was flooded out and we had to drive to the beach so make sure to note when going it hasn’t rained excessively. Even with the trail blocked, it was super easy to drive to the beach and the seclusion was worth it!

1 night at Unique Bay Front Camping

I took my 6-year old granddaughter here for a quick overnight getaway and loved it. She played on the beach for hours. Very relaxing. We wanted to stay longer, but the sites were already book. We definitely want to come back with the full family.

1 night at Unique Bay Front Camping

Really cool spot being right on the water. When we were there, it was in the low tide range most of day while the kids played. They were able to walk really far out in the muck and loved it. Lots of whole shells since its not picked over like the main beaches. We’ll try to go back in summer and paddle board. It stays a nice depth when tide is in

3 nights at Coastal Family Hideaway

Amazing location. Great for larger groups and plenty of room for the kids and dogs to run around. Definitely be mindful of wildlife in the area as we came across a few forest friends while visiting. Can’t wait to come again!

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

Site #5 is quiet and private with an elevated view of the water. Even with two of the other sites occupied, it was so peaceful, hearing more of the waves than the neighbors. Being able to walk straight onto the beach was lovely. The beach itself is very clean and private. Dual access gates were a huge plus, very convenient for coming and going. Overall wonderful location to quickly access Westport and only an hour from Ocean Shores. We also noticed the dumpster was carefully tendency to. Somehow never overflowing but we never saw or heard it being emptied. Local highlights: Blackbeard's Brewing in Westport. We loved everything we ordered. Kid and dog friendly. There are two locations, one being a taproom that's 21+ so make sure you choose the right one for your outing. Bay City Sausage Co. Save your sausage and jerky shopping until you get here, everything was phenomenal and they have stuff for your pooch. Hoquiam Brewing in Hoquiam. Probably some of the most unique and fun beers around. Menu was varied and they have great pizza.

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

Wonderful spot with great views and easy hookup. Would come back again.

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

Great sites definitely right on the beach. Would definitely stay here again and invite friends.

2 nights at Coastal Family Hideaway

What a lovely campsite! It was so peaceful and private. Just what we needed for a wonderful weekend getaway. The path from the campsite to the beach was still too waterlogged to walk in our ankle-high rain boots but it was a super quick and easy drive to the beach. The hosts were easy to communicate with and clearly take a lot of pride in their beautiful property. We’ll definitely be back!

2 nights at Capa Campground

I was so eager to camp at this beautiful oasis. Unfortunately I was not feeling well the day of check in and while I was setting up my camp my body just said I needed to stop. The hosts were so very kind and understanding. I will certainly be back as the property is so beautiful and the hosts were very kind.

4 nights at Unique Bay Front Camping

We had a wonderful time camping here over our spring break! We absolutely love the tidal changes where the beach transforms from a waterfront to tidal flats. We enjoyed walking the beach in the sunshine (but it was still cold and windy, so we were layered-up...it was early April, after all). The migrating shorebirds have started arriving and we saw thousands of them flying, swimming and running about. The Westport Winery was a fun visit with wine and spirit tastings (and lots of sculptures/gardens). We also made some new friends with our fellow campers. Shelby responded quickly when we had a question and we were even able to extend our stay because we were having such a great time! We look forward to staying here again.

Weekend Trip to Unique Bay Front Camping

We loved this camp spot!!’ So beautiful to wake up to the water! We will definitely be back!

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.

Capa Campground

9 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Amanda Park, WA

Private property along the Quinault River between NFS land and Olympic National Park, adjacent to Colonel Bob Wilderness and just past The Quinault Nation reservation. Homesteaders came here in 1890, prior to that there was no human habitation. A perfect base camp to explore the many varied facets of the West side of the Olympic Peninsula. The campsites are on acreage of a very small off-grid farm. Relax and forget the stress. There are 6 tent sites and 2 small RV sites. Toilets are available, as well as trash bins, potable water, and picnic tables. We do not allow pets. Guests love staying here: "This spot was everything we were hoping for and more! Awesome location near everything in Quinault. Received a fun, short tour of the property from our hosts who are incredibly nice. The campsite was tidy and exactly what we imagined. Plenty of room between us and our neighbors, and we barely knew that they were there. The outhouse is basic but clean and charming. Imagine the friendliness of staying at a distant cousin's organic farm, with the facilities of a top-notch campsite. Only regret was that we were crashing there quickly, and weren't able to stay longer and relax on-site. If the description on the website seems like what you're looking for, I would highly recommend this location."

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.
