HWY 101 NORTHBOUND: Exit onto Hwy 105 in Raymond. Travel approx. 30 miles. When you go past park exit gates, turn right at intersection towards Aberdeen. Go 1/4 mile, park entrance is on the right.
Easy parking and sand dollars everywhere! Good beach access. Water was visibly oily, however, so be aware if you plan to swim that water conditions may be poor. Large beach access and bathrooms available. Sand is not soft but is very flat and easy to walk on.
Decent sites for tent camping. Some sites are smaller, others larger. I recommend using Google maps to zoom in to the campground and find the larger sites when booking if you have the time. I believe it was about $35 a night and cost extra for extra vehicles which you will find space for here and there. The restrooms are private single rooms with showers. Showers are free. Terrible cell phone reception as with most camping situations. We encountered a Bear on the trail to the beach about a 1/4 mile away from the campground. Pretty neat for us to see but may not be great for others. Lots of trails, ocean is close by. Lots of sand dollars on the beach out here. Town isn't too far which is convenient. Overall good experience.
It was opening weekend of razor clam digging so it was really packed with people and vehicles. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, clearly there just to have a good time. Fish and Game were on site and they were also super friendly and helpful and very intent on keeping everyone safe! Some cool locals were there just to pull out cars that got stuck in the sand. I thought that was so incredibly kind of them!
Had a nice time camping here. We camped Tuesday-Friday so campground was pretty empty. I think we had the most private campsite in the entire campground. Site #61. It’s also quite small. Not suitable for anything other than a tent. We only brought a 4 person tent and that took up pretty much the entire site. It was cozy and snug but it was just 2 of us. Site #60 is also very private and can fit an 8 person text. I HIGHLY recommend that site too.
As for side B these are the smallest campsites I’ve ever seen. We were on the B side of the campground and they only have one bathroom open in the RV camping area. It was roughly a 3 min walk from our site- and only one shower open for each gender. There is another bathroom/shower situated in the middle of all the tent sites but it’s closed. I also want to note that all the ADA campsites are located around this closed bathroom. 👎
They put port-a-potties on the far side of the campground near our site but they are DISGUSTING- do not use these!
Across the street is campground A. With more campsites, cabins and yurts. There is also a loop trail and a walking trail that takes you straight to the beach. The campsites, cabins, yurts on this side have no privacy at all. The best campsites on that side that we found are numbers 269 and 275. This side seemed much more full.
Side A has a lot of bathrooms and showers. We found it closer to cross the street and use the bathrooms over there than walk to the one on our side.
Really pay attention to campsite photos and someone mentioned using google to see the campsite size. I recommend this too.
(Site#197)Aside from it raining everyday for a week straight, my son/dog and I enjoyed winter camping at Twin Harbors. The facilities were usually clean and well maintained. It wasn't very busy during our trip from 12/23-12/28. If it were busier, I could see the campsites being a little cramped being that they are built practically on top of each other. The sites are well maintained and very clean!
You are in walking distance to the beach, and there are many historical sites and National Parks, within an hour to an hour and a half or less. We were able to hear the relaxing sounds of the ocean waves crashing 24/7.
Plenty of space for the dog to run around at the beach as well. All in all, we had a great time and strongly recommend this campsite to anyone coming to the area.
