I have been to this beach at least once for sure. I think one other time when the weather was nicer also. We came here on such a stormy day to see the King Tides come in. The waves weren't as big and dramatic as they could get but it was still very cool to see the ocean rolling so much. Normally we go when it's nice and tranquil but we finally took it in with a storm coming in to boot along with the tides which created a cool but really intense experience. The wind was very strong and it was raining so staying outside for a long time wasn't really an option. Still it was really a fun experience and this sandy beach is normally a great place to go to in the summer! read more

It was perfect! The facilities were great! The campground was well maintained and the beach was truly magnificent!

A beautiful park, the camp sites looked very roomy, and tons of bathrooms, which is always appreciated. My only complaint with this park was the lack of day use parking. I don't know if we missed it somewhere, but we ended up parking at a bathroom and walking around from there. read more

Great place to camp and visit the beach! Lots of options for camping, and nice bathrooms at the beach access road.

The employees here unfortunately are very unfriendly. If a camp spot is open you should be able to check in an hour early. I've never been turned down at a hotel. They actually have to do stuff to get the room ready. Some people just love to say No. read more

This is one of our absolute favorite campgrounds. The sites are spacious and very clean. Super friendly staff and camp hosts. We made a mistake with our reservation, and the staff accomodated our last minute request to the best of her ability. Our park host was absolutely outstanding and checked on us during a power outage (pop up camper with limited amenities). She also helped us navigate a propane problem we were having, which she did NOT have to do. read more

Very nice park! Private spaces and super close to the beach. I highly recommend this park.

Wonderful state park for families. We took a day trip to have a picnic on the beach, not crowded at all, restroom facilities near by with running water, much appreciated due to the current health pandemic (COVID), thank you to the States Parks & Rec. Service for keeping these running. A little chilly but with the appropriate attite one can enjoy this beach. We drove our truck, found a flat spot and enjoyed our family picnic! Great place to enjoy the Pacific ocean. read more

Grayland Beach State Park - Mini sand dunes over looking the Pacific ocean. - Parks Near Me - Grayland, Washington

Very nice clean well kept beach camping spot nice bathrooms and easy access to park I will be sending family that come to visit to stay

Absolutely beautiful. We didn't stay at the park so we have no experience with that but we did visit the park while we stayed in the area! You can drive on this beach which my kids just love. It wasn't too crowded except for the evenings when people were out claming. The beach was clean and we found lots of shells! Definitely will be back again soon! read more

We decided to make this the destination for our RV's Maiden Voyage! Because we are family vloggers, we provided a full review on our YouTube channel, which you can watch here if you want to see more of the park: https://youtu.be/wH1UPRzh_Ok Overall, the staff was great. We camped in January and we almost had the whole park to ourselves. Our site was large and had limited views of the neighbor. There was a short trail on our site that led us to the ocean. We didn't get too close because there was marsh and weeds, but close enough to be able to see if and hear it really well. The dump is easily accessible and there to use right near the entrance with no additional charges. The downsides: there had been significant rain before we arrived and several sites were flooded out. Several of the roads were flooded also and you couldn't get around too easy. Overall we had a great time! read more

Calling this a 'beach' is an understatement. I know it's a beach but it looks enormous here. It's more like the edge of the powerful Pacific Ocean. I don't know how many times I used the words "beautiful" and "unreal" while camping here. I don't know If am able to write a review describing Grayland Beach without it sounding like a sappy poem or without sounding like a mystified goofball. The pictures online do not do it justice. As far as amenities, the bathrooms are clean and this park is RV friendly. If you prefer a more outdoorsy experience with less pavement, the primitive sites will not disappoint. The water access and parking for the primitive sites are super close by making it an easy load in. Site #110 is the closest to parking. Site #111 and #112 are a little further and more secluded. Be warned that vault toilet closest to the primitive sites is like a Honey Bucket but rest assured that the flushing toilets and showers are not too much further away. Details aside, the ocean looks beautiful here. Bring a kite or a football! read more

My very first experience with a yurt was quite beautiful. A walk - a short one - to the infinite Pacific. The soft, sandy beach beneath our feet. A view that can't be captured in pixels. Wildlife fluttering from tree to tree. A comfy couch and padded bed in a lockable and warm little hut. Bathrooms that were clean and modern in the woods. Friendly staff. Fire pits. Picnic tables. Handicap accessible sites. Beautiful wild flowers. I'd absolutely be back. Pro-tip: stop at the oyster shop in the way out to the park for a shooter and shot glass before you camp! read more

Grayland Beach State Park - The view of the beach just minutes from our campsite! - Parks Near Me - Grayland, Washington

See all

We love Grayland beach and come here every Thanksgiving even if its stormy and has many flooded sites. One of our favorite spots!

This is by far one of the most pristine state parks I have ever stayed at. If you're feeling like a trip to the WA coast and want a place near the beach that is neat and clean with enough trees to protect you from the elements, Grayland has to be on the list. The location is easy to get to, just off I-105 and about 20-30 minutes south of Aberdeen. Although you'll pass a few run-down homes on the way, don't let that fool you. The beach here is the biggest beach I have ever had the chance to visit. Others say it's a 3 minute walk from the campground to the beach but that's only half true. 3 minutes gets you onto the (little) dunes. Want to get to the water? Easily another 7-10 minutes, depending on how fast you like to go. But man, is it ever gorgeous. Back to the campground. The campsites are immaculate, large, and many are well equipped with water and electric hookups. As tent campers we felt spoiled. The showers use tokens but worth it for the privacy and cleanliness. The bathrooms were convenient as they were set up to accommodate a family - so we were able to brush our teeth together each night. Nice. Privacy in our space wasn't the greatest but it was just enough. (Space 103) The kids absolutely loved riding their bikes around our loop and we felt at ease letting them do so, thanks to the nice design of the park. No, there isn't a ton to do here, which is totally fine if you want to get in some serious beach time. There's the quaint town of Westport, a 10 min drive up the road. Keep going until you get to the harbor there and you'll find a cute array of shops to walk among. Grayland was a little off the beaten path but totally enjoyable. It did live up to its name during our visit (the fog only lifted on the day we left!), but we came prepared for any weather and that helped a bunch. If you decide to make the trek, bring rain gear, extra blankets and an open mind, and you'll be sure to enjoy! read more

There are no trails here except for beach access through the dunes. The campgrounds looked nice, with more privacy than those of Twin Harbors. There were plenty of yurts (yurt alert). Like Twin Harbors, we saw plenty of amanita muscaria mushrooms and also plenty of airstreams. read more

Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission states that "the walls of the yurts are not sealed," and that they "have no control over the actions of the insects which may enter." I believe that this information should be clearly stated in the official park website, and make clear to guests when registering that they may find their yurt invaded by millipedes and other insects during certain times. We have stayed in yurts at the Oregon Coast, late in August, and had no problems with insects inside the yurts. With that in mind, and with the official "oh well" attitude taken by the Parks, we will stick to Oregon State Parks in the future. (Unfortunately, I had already booked trips at Twin Harbors State Park and Cape Disappointment State Park before we took this trip to Grayland. I do hope to have better experiences there.) Oregon State Parks are significantly less expensive, too. The only reason Grayland Beach State Parks gets two stars is because it is, most definitely, a beautiful place. In a tent or personal camper/trailer, it might be a great place. read more

I love love love this state park. Definitely my most favorite coastal park and a top contender for statewide! My husband and I camped here many times (were engaged here too) and since 4 children soon followed, our camping slid off for the past 13 years. We just made our first return to this wonderful park and the updates over the years only make it better. I love yurts and have stayed in them in many different parks in WA and OR. They are really nice for families. I'm not ready to go to a tent yet with so many kids and all their accouterments so this is a nice halfway point. We stayed in a pet friendly yurt (87), which was the only yurt in that circle. Though the circle was full, it was quiet. We stayed Sun-Tues and again, while the park was mostly full it was blessedly still and friendly. We love the quick walk to the ocean. Grayland beach is massive and wide and there is plenty of room for everyone. Our doggie had a blast running his little heart out. The bathrooms were cleaned daily and checked at least 2x a day by rangers. The showers were fine... typical for a state park though a couple seemed to flood immediately upon turning on the faucet. This park keeps it simple. Well placed sites, mere steps to the ocean, the sound of waves in your ears and the fresh salty air. A+ read more

How does one rate an open area of sand and water? Grayland itself is a small town and the nearest city and late night food is 40 minutes away. But in a way, it's just nice to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the metro areas and just kick back and take in some fresh open air. My friends and I spent the weekend out here playing football on the beach, running the dogs til they got tired, and even whipped our cars around on the sand for a bit. The area isn't crowded by any means and plenty of open space to feel like you got your own private beach. Only caution to the wind is don't park in soft sand. After 11pm there isn't many if any towing places that operate 24 hrs a day that will get you out if you get stuck! and if you get lucky and someone does pick up - it'll cost ya a pretty penny! read more

New roads, new bathrooms, clean, well organized, and usually near full occupancy -- even in winter. Reservations online or by phone. Of the 120 camp sites, a dozen or so are yurts, they fill up especially early. Endless, driveable (!!) beach is a couple hundred feet away, just over the dune. read more

Grayland Beach State Park - Nice New Restrooms! - Parks Near Me - Grayland, Washington

This is now my new favorite Washington State Park for beach camping. Extremely well maintained, clean, excellent campsite layouts for maximum privacy. The RV pad was so level we barely had to adjust our travel trailer. Sites have nice picnic tables & fire rings. The campers were courteous of their fellow campers - no loud blaring music, rowdy crowds or drunk-fests. The campsite areas are laid out in rings, with "spokes" for each campsite. The center "hubs" of the rings provide a safe, fun area for children to play among the trees. Campers were cautious of the kiddos and followed speed limit. Bathrooms & showers were clean and well-maintained. The Campground Hosts and Rangers we met were all helpful & friendly. There are 5 short trails where you can walk to the beach. The beach is awesome - walk past the grass and sand dunes to a huge expanse of ocean. You can also drive to the beach and set up your gear to hang out all day or build a campfire for the evening. The beach was never overly crowded and we were there over Labor Day weekend. We met some locals who told us all about clamming on the beach - big razor clams which are in season Sep/Oct through Mar/Apr. We found a nice little bar just outside of camp on SR 105 called "The Local" where we enjoyed some good burgers, brews and watched the Oregon Ducks football game. A totally awesome weekend - the worst part was having to leave!! read more

We've stayed here several times and we've always enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately much of the time the sites are wet and flooded but that goes with living in the PNW. The sites are all a decent size. Very easy to park your trailer. And within walking distance of the beach. Close to Westport and Tokeland. read more

This is great place to camp. All of the sites here are hookup sites with electric and water. Most of the sites are good sized with fairly good privacy. Sites 1-60 are the old loops. As such they have the older bathrooms and tend to have a little bit more trouble with water drainage in the winter time. Site 61-120 were built sometime during the mid 90's. As such they have nice new bathrooms, with very nice private showers. There is an RV dump near the park entrance but there are no sites with sewage hook ups. Campground also offers yurts, but only a couple of them are pet friendly. This campground has experienced some problems with theft, due to a nearby trailer park that has some low life's living in it. I have never felt unsafe at this campground but, there are warning signs posted, and one time I did have a cooler disappear during the night. So remember to be smart, lock stuff up and night and you will be fine. I have stayed at this campground many times over the year, usually a couple of times in the winter and spring time, so I know it well and would recommend it. read more

The only place to stay in the area if you are planning on camping. Make sure to make reservations early if there is an event going on at Westport because the park fills up fast. Park rangers are friendly and courteous. If you happen to be camping during the rainy season and your site is flooded they will contact you ahead of time (when possible) to see if you want to switch sites or change your reservation. In some cases all that may need to be done is get some gravel to fill in a low spot next to the trailer pad. Most of the sites on the two beach loops have electric/water and all the inner loop (1-60) have electric, water and sewer service. There is firewood for sale year round either at the ranger station and on one of the camping loops. The bathrooms are always clean and the ones on the beach loops are brand new! There is a small "gift" shop in the ranger station that sells apparel, stuffed animals and other small items. If you are staying on a razor clam dig weekend be prepared for hundreds of cars parked on the beach during the digs. But once the dig closes each day the beach is wide open (even at higher tides) and there is always a spot to fly kites, have a beach campfire or enjoy beach combing. read more

I shouldn't brag on Yelp about how wonderful this place is, but I think it's the nicest state park in Washington. I would like to keep it a secret. Most of the sites have good privacy, the bathroom is always clean and well stocked, their staff are the friendliest people and really try hard to accommodate ones issues. (pretty rare for someone who works for the state). Short walk to beach, and many sites have full hookup, including sewer!!! read more

We had so much fun with our toddler, who no matter the tempature of weather LOVES the water!

One of our favorite Washington campgrounds! Huge, beautiful beach. Lots of great spots with privacy. Easy to navigate and park our 34' fifth wheel. Find to find shells and see ocean life. read more

wide open beach facing the mighty Pacific. You can take a long and quiet walk or spin your 4WD on the sands. Hidden treasure on the west coast. read more

Stayed at space 71 for two nights. Very clean bathrooms and showers. Steps away from the beautiful pacific ocean. Highly recommend.

The scenery, solitude and yurts make this campground awesome! We spent two nights in yurt 118 which is right across from trail #3 to the beach. It is the best yurt site there with 80, and 119 close behind. It is close to the bathrooms (NEW! ) and showers (CLEAN!) The dune is the view out your front door window. The yurt is cozy, with a heater and electricity for your coffee maker in the morning. Nicely paved, low traveled roads make this a great place for kids. We saw kids skating and scootering everywhere. read more

We have been staying at Grayland Beach State Park once or twice a year for at least 10 years. We love it. We used to have a camper and now have a 36' RV and tow a Subaru. We have 2 large dogs. We prefer the beach loop sites, but often have to spend part of the trip in the original part back in the trees. We have never had a problem. The park is well maintained. Staff is receptive if there is a problem, like folks letting dogs run free, and get problems solved. The only downside is the park has become so popular that unless you make your reservation a year in advance you may not get a campsite. We love being able to walk from our site on the trail thru the dunes to the beach, or actually drive on the beach (you do have to make sure you don't get stuck). We also like being close to Westport so we can get fresh fish, or if the grandkids are along we can take them to the lighthouse. We occasionally do day trips to Chehalis and Centralia. Flying kites there is wonderful. Our last trip was June 2-9, 2018 and we will be back mid-October for 10 days. read more

If you want to stay around this area come to this campground. Bathrooms are nice and look new. Campgrounds are well tended. I definitely recommend coming here. read more

Nice place to camp. Very simple but good campgrounds. However, my reason for a four and not a five was simply the bathrooms weren't lit at certain times and dark when showering is not ideal. Toilet paper always ran out and someone messed the toilets so you had to search for working ones. Otherwise it was pretty good. Everyone had campers RVs there but us in our section and we felt a lil outta place. The ranger, staff and such were all delightful minus the one ranger who asked if anyone was in the bathroom while I was in the shower twice. Creeped me out that he lingered near the door till I came out after that. It was 15 minutes. :( read more

I stayed at a walk-in site at Grayland Beach. This area was extremely quiet and well-covered (and if you forgot anything in your car, it's only a short walk out to retrieve it.) Very close to the beach, just over a ridge and you're there. You can hear the ocean roaring from the campsites as well. Didn't see any firewood for sale inside, so bring your own. Very clean bathrooms and showers for the rest of the sites; the walk-in sites have a vault toilet, which is also kept very clean. Very nice, peaceful, relaxing campground, but it can get very busy. Would highly recommend. read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING YURT #80! This review is really based on the camp site itself - Yurt #80. We just returned from an absolute AWFUL experience & wanted to warn others. We booked 2 nights for Yurt #80 & arrived late in the afternoon. We started unloading everything & had our 3 little ones play in the yurt. First we hear, "Mom, look at these cool bugs." Ok...it's nature. We've camped & bugs are a big part of camping, right? No worries. A centipede. Cool. But then one, turns into 2, turns into 12, turns into HUNDREDS, no thousands, crawling all over the yurt. Most were outside, but at least a couple dozen at any time crawling inside. A hundred or so all over the deck, including crawling over your head. Once we stopped unloading to really look, they were EVERYWHERE. Within minutes, crawling all over our stuff. It was truly an infestation. So, in the dark, we packed everything back up & drove back to Seattle, arriving home at 2:00 a.m. We actually read another review that mentioned this, but assumed that it was written by someone unfamiliar to camping, and the bugs it brings. Noooooo! Believe it! Why 2 stars? Because it's location by the coast & amazing private sites. It may have been a 5 star review if not for the BUGS. read more
