I got a spot (for my tepee) right over the ocean, and right by the restroom! Inexpensive, neat, tidy, and sleepy. I would recommend to anyone- except!- A whiner. If you are gonna whine about anything, just stay home. You shouldn't be camping anyways. This place is Awesome!

The Bruceport County Park is an oddity. If you're tenting or dry camping, then wow. The sites are…read moresimply beautiful, many of them with stunning views from the top of the bluffs overlooking Willapa Bay. There's plenty of grassy fields, trees, and more, offering nearly every site plenty of privacy. If however you're in a RV rig, and looking for a full hookup, they decided to place all 7 hookup spots right next to each other on a gravel island. You and your neighbors will be crammed like sardines, with no room for table, fire pits, nothing. Also, the facilities are in dire need of some TLC. Really too bad, since the campground itself has truly tremendous potential, but clearly lacks any incentive to up its game. If the county ever sells this park to a driven and creative entrepreneur, then this could become one of the best parks out there.

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!

Every site has a variety of good points. Joy, who worked daily in the park office was incredibly friendly and helpful. She assisted us when there was an opportunity to move to another site for electricity. The beach access is ADA accommodating, and downtown Pacific Beach is within walking distance. This portion of the shore is lovely. We will be back. Take note that on a busy weekends, there will be experienced RVers using their generators in non-hook-up sites:) My husband wants me to provide a less glowing report, as he is concerned you all will show up.

A state park that is nothing more than a glorified RV camp is fitting for this town. I owned a…read moresecond home in town for the past 8 years and have been to the park on several occasions. It borders on decent in the off season when deserted, if you can overlook all the run down and abandoned structures surrounding it. But in season it is a true trailer park with all the fixings! On my last visit in July, I was taking photos for the sales ad for my property -- trying to find anything of interest that might lure a potential buyer. During this "adventure," I was accosted by a group of locals who told me to go f*** myself for photographing and, 25 mins later, by another woman who thought I was code enforcement looking to "get her again." I was so happy when I convinced some rose-colored glasses vacationer to buy my 8-year mistake. The only reason I would ever return to this park or this town would be if I lost everything, became an addict, and wanted to live with those who considered that high living. That's really the only notable thing about this place -- just how unimaginably bad it is!

What a wonderful under the radar waterfall this is...Beaver Falls!…read more Located 6 miles east of Clatskanie, Oregon, this area near the Columbia River is beautiful. Let's get straight to the heart of what Beaver Falls is all about... If you plug "Beaver Falls Trailhead" into Google Maps, you'll have no problem finding it. Then just park along the side of Highway 30 and hike 1/3rd of a mile through the forest to the base of the falls. It's that easy. When I visited on a Thursday in early afternoon of July, there was hardly anyone around which was good for taking quality photos. Best of all, you can swim in the waters. So definitely bring a bathing suit, towel and a pair of water shoes so the rocks won't hurt your feet while entering the pool beneath Beaver Falls. The water is cold but once you jump in and get comfortable, it's a terrific setting. There's also a long rope where you can swing across and splash down below. It's great for kids (and adults too, lol) to have playful times. For me, I was content soaking in the pool and appreciating the surroundings. More info... - It's free to visit. - Cell phone reception works fine. - You can walk underneath the falls! This is a Must-Do. You can capture some amazing moments standing beside Beaver Falls. It's not hard or dangerous and offers a unique perspective. - Beaver Falls is just one of many outstanding waterfalls situated around Oregon and especially near the Columbia River. There's also Lower Lewis River Falls, Panther Creek Falls and Spirit Falls, to name a few. - You can spend a few hours hanging out or as little as 30 - 40 minutes. It depends on your time horizon. But overall, it's really pleasant to be here that I'd suggest bringing snacks, lunch and maybe having a picnic. This Beaver Falls is absolutely so much fun to hang out at. When you can swim in the waters, swing from a rope and even walk underneath the falls, It makes for a worthwhile summer visit.

Well that's not the case at all with Cape Disappointment State Park. It is truly an amazing place. You get to see two lighthouses, beautiful views, the ocean and if you're lucky maybe even a whale. Which is exactly what we did see. We saw a Gray Whale lazing about in the water with it's fin treading water before quietly disappearing into the water. Of course taking in nature walks and hikes are a good option here too if it suits your fancy. I can definitely recommend very highly in regards to visiting this lovely park.

We were so lucky to meet a couple of trail stewards in the uppermost parking lot who advised us how to pay (pay in advance online, write the confirmation code, and place on your dash) as there is no machine on site. They also made sure we knew which areas the dogs were allowed in (everything south of the wildlife refuge) and which they are not (wildlife refuge itself). And walked with us for the first part of the Dune Loop trail along the bay beach. Much appreciated as the trail on the beach can be a bit difficult during the higher parts of a tide. We saw about 15 eagles flying together all enjoying the clear day and thermals, so many amazing trees with gorgeous moss and ferns, and yes even in end of February...a couple of garter snakes. It's a fairly easy hike in terms of elevation but I will say you need to be surefooted along the beach for sure but also through the forest as the trail has many roots and pinecones. It was easy enough that our dogs were able to do the full 2.8 mile loop without needing to be toted. Overall it's worth spending a morning or afternoon exploring, especially on the bay side. The sound of the ocean and trees are the only 'noise' and the traffic seemed to just be a couple of other folks and a lot of sandpipers.

We were passing through after visiting Olympic Park and looking for a hiking spot in the area. Lake…read moreSylvia seemed like a possibility so we stopped off last Sunday around 10am. There were a few hikers there, but otherwise mostly those preparing to fish. We didn't visit the camping section, but they've got a decent sized day-use area with a good amount of parking, tables, and restrooms. We took the forest loop trail that leads from the lake along the stream through the forest and back around to the day-use, about 2 1/2 miles. There are sections of the trail that are simply gorgeous, and other parts not quite as pretty. But the trail is pretty fun, ups and downs, winding with steps and bridges. While the path is completely passable right now, it was very muddy in many places. A bit precarious at times, as some of the soupiest, slickest spots happened to be on inclines and declines. You'll definitely need waterproof shoes and prepare to get dirty, but Sylvia is good for a quick hike. They've got some interesting educational info along the trail too...and the lake has a very peaceful feeling.
