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.

They are conveniently accessible off the logging roads which cross with Labri road after you've passed through the second gate.

Camping near Long Beach guide

Overview

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.

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. That said, it's wise to be prepared for cool temperatures and rainfall no matter when you visit. Most of the city's major events take place in the summer months. 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.
