Just an hour’s drive west of Portland, the oceanfront town of Seaside is a convenient hub for exploring Oregon’s spectacular northern coast area, and all its attractions and activities. Start with the downtown Seaside area, which features a collection of shops, galleries and eateries featuring a Northwest–Pacific flair. At the end of the main drag is a wide sandy beach that invites sunning, swimming and surfing, and is popular for kite-flying. Just south of town, Ecola State Park is a wooded headland with hiking trails and sandy beaches. A little farther south, the small town of Cannon Beach—named in the late 1800s for the rusty cannon that washed ashore nearby—features a variety of cafes, eclectic shops, and fine art galleries. Just offshore of the town’s wide, sandy beach is Haystack Rock, a 235-foot-high volcanic sea stack. North of Seaside, the village of Astoria sits near the Columbia River’s delta on the Pacific Ocean. This historic town features a fascinating maritime museum, and the artistic Astoria Column, which offers panoramic views from atop its narrow, winding staircase. Located just minutes from downtown Seaside and its plethora of fish and chips shops, the Seaside RV Resort is an ideal base for exploring all of the area’s many sights and attractions. The resort features 260 year-round, back-in campsites with full hookups, flush restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, and recycling stations. Most sites are open and grassy; some sites and facilities are ADA accessible. A primitive tent camp is located in a wooded area away from the RV section, and there are cabins and cottages available for rent. The resort features picnic areas, kids’ playground, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, fitness center, spa, sports courts, mini golf, and a dog park. Guests are welcome to participate in group activities and enjoy live entertainment. Wifi service is available in resort clubhouses. Dogs are welcome, but must remain leashed outside of campsites. Campsite rates are $44–$61/night; cabins and cottages are $135–$170/night; reservations available.
As a RV park, this is an excellent place to stay. The sites are all full hookup and are quite level with crushed gravel bases. The staff is courteous and helpful. Its location makes getting to a number of Oregon coast locations very easy. We will be staying there again.
Being a person that lives full time in the area in this campsite is nice until someone brings their dog that parks all day long. Nobody wants to hear a dog barking all day. I have dogs and mine only bark when they know someone is knocking at the door, or if they see someone near my yard to alert me to watch. The barking dogs need to stop. The owners need to pay better attention to to them.
Clean park, all full hook ups. We felt safe here with our family. Bigger laundry room and updated showers. It is a busy park so you may need to drive around to find a site. We only used the playground / pool once but it was nice. I like that they used text to communicate events etc. And most of the rangers were friendly and happy. Enjoyed our stay here, thanks Seaside!
This was a great camping experience. We just bought a new travel trailer and this was our maiden voyage. We tried to make use of all of the amenities. Bathrooms, pool and club house clean. Beautiful and quiet.
The people that work here are very kind, accommodating, and uplifting. They're just the kind of people you want to run into when you're on vacation and camping. For many kind of vacation is a reset and a tender time.
This is a very busy park.
It is big and safe and has a gate code that changes every week.
There were these neat little bees there that were interesting that lived in the sand. Seemed pretty harmless.
This is one of my new favorite places.
Mostly because you're so close to the boardwalk. But because you're surrounded by all the trees, it feels like you're nestled in the forest.
You could walk to the boardwalk from here.
It may be a fifteen to twenty five minute walk.
