Oceana RV + Camping Resort

Oceana RV Camping and Resort is a hidden gem because it rarely gets full. During peak summer and razor clamming seasons, it can be quite hard to snag a campsite at one of Washington’s State Parks. Oceana is a great alternative to choose as your home base to Washington’s beautiful coast, and all it has to offer. It is a private campground owned and operated by Thousand Trails; however, you do not need to be a member to stay at this campground.

The campground is located on an oceanfront preserve with miles of shoreline. There are approximately 100 RV sites and 8 tent sites. Sites one through 14 are full hook-up sites (water, electric, and sewer), and the remaining 86 sites are partial hook-up (no sewer). There are only eight tent sites; however, you are allowed to pitch a tent on an RV site.

The campground’s amenities include a clubhouse that offers free Wi-Fi, a DVD and book loan selection, board games and puzzles, a quiet room, a microwave, and a television with a fireplace. The restroom facility offers free hot showers with your stay and does not use the token system like the state parks. There is also a laundry station on site (coin operated), as well as a couple cleaning stations to clean your razor clams or fish.

Picnic tables are provided on each site. There are no fire pits. however, you are welcome to bring your own version as long as it is a raised pit and it is off the ground. Pets are welcomed but must be kept on a leash and picked up after. Access to the beach from the campground is through a short trail that starts at the back of the campground. There is no ocean view from the campground. Quinault Beach Resort and Casino offers free shuttle rides to and from this campground. 

The campground receives quite an amount of rain during the winter, and thus some of the campsites do tend to get flooded. If the campground receives a lot of rain during a certain period, they may close off the back section of the campground (sites 49-100 and tent sites 1-8). Sites 24 through 30 are great options during rainy seasons.

The campground is open year round. During off-peak season, November 1 to April 1, they are only open on Friday and Saturday nights. One exception: During Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) clam dig season, the campground is open for the full week. More information on razor clam dates, times, tides, and license requirements can be found here.

Oceana RV Camping and Resort is located approximately 5.5 miles north from the quaint little town of Ocean Shores. Horseback riding on the shoreline, razor clamming, fishing, birdwatching, and surfing are easily accessible from the campground.
