2011 President's Award
KOA President's Award
Awarded to KOAs that meet exceptional quality standards and are recognized by their guests for outstanding service.
When Lewis and Clark arrived in Astoria in 1805, they liked it so much they built Fort Clatsop and settled in for a while.
When Lewis and Clark arrived in Astoria in 1805, they liked it so much they built Fort Clatsop and settled in for a while. It's likely that this scenic seaside town-the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies-will have the same effect on you. Nearby are the charms of the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean: fishing, beachcombing, whale watching, sandcastle building and clam digging. You'll find all the necessary equipment in the campground store. While in the store, you can sample homemade fudge, sip an espresso and browse for gifts and souvenirs. KOA offers an ocean of activities and special events as well as an indoor pool, hot tub, Jumping Pillow, outdoor theater, mini golf, giant chess set, bike rentals, internet cafe, and daily pancakes in season. A teddy bear stuffin' party is held Wednesday and Saturday at 4:00 p.m. during the summer season as well. There's fun year-round-and, like Lewis and Clark, you'll feel like you've made a major discovery.
Meet Your Hosts
It's hard to believe that just a few months ago, I was at the Harpers Ferry, West Virginia KOA, more than 3,000 miles from the beautiful campground I now call home. When I was asked to join the great team here in Astoria, my wife Jane and I knew that it was exactly the right place for use to be. Exploring the great state of Oregon for the first time really has been a phenomenal experience, and as we begin our 2012 season at the Astoria KOA, I plan on bringing the same level of excitement that I have felt to our campground. With a them of "1000 Things to Do", we are planning new ways to capture your attention, spark your imagination, and keep you coming back for more.
This year will bring a whole lot of fun to the Astoria KOA, and I invite you to make your reservations now to be a part of it all. And when you're here, bes sure to stop in and say "hi". I'd welcome the chance to meet you.
See you soon!

Campground Activities
Boating/Water Sports
Take your family out for a boating picnic, or go fishing with friends at Coffenbury Lake. Go boogie boarding in the ocean, or how about surfing? Do you like to kayak? How about in the Columbia River.
Crabbing & Clamming
Love seafood? Try it so fresh it's still moving. Why not catch your own dinner. You can go clamming with family or friends. You can also go crabbing at Seaside 12th Street Bridge. It is located 15 miles south of our campground. If you don't have any equipment, ask one of our friendly staff and they will tell you where to get the right gear.
Storm Watching
Have you ever watched a storm rolling into land on the beach? It is quite the sight. This is nature at its best. Enjoy big huge beautiful waves crashing on the beach. This is best during winter seasons. You might even find treasures that wash up when the tides are just right.
Beach combing
For the best beach combing you will want to visit during low tides. Best results are right after storms. You can find agates, fossils, driftwood, artifacts and even the exclusive and increasingly rare Japanese glass floats from old fishing nets come ashore. You never want to explore the beach by yourself. The "Sneaker Waves" are very swift and fast, you will never know before they get you.
Deep Sea Fishing/ Lake Fishing/ Jetty Fishing
If you like to deep sea fish, we are the campground you have been looking for. We have several fishing charters close to us. Right by the mighty mouth of the Columbia River, why would you want to fish anywhere else. The real question is Salmon or Sturgeon? You can also fish from our famous Oregon Jetty. For lake fishing try Coffenbury Lake right across the street.
Biking/ Hiking
Across the street from our campground we have the Fort Stevens hiking and biking trails. There are 14 miles of trails to explore, on foot or bike. The paths run through beautiful natural forests. If you are looking you might see Elk, Frogs, and many different birds. Eagles are quit common with the eagle sanctuary close by. Or you could take a nice stroll to one of the many Historical sites.
Wildlife Watching
If you like just to relax and watch wild life, we have plenty of wildlife to look at. You can drive out to the wildlife bunker which is a nice concrete wind break with a guide to local bird species. Just down from the bunker is the South Jetty Platform. You might be able to catch a glimpse of a whale in the right time of year. Or just watch ships go in or out of the mighty mouth of the Columbia. You can also go into Astoria to see the Sea Lions. Listen to them play and get social with their friends. You can even sit at your camp site and watch birds, raccoons and even deer and elk walk by. Be careful the raccoons get hungry and will dig through your cooler and take their dinner.
Kite Flying
Enjoy kite flying on any of the many beaches. See how high you can get your kite. If you don't have one and would like one there are several local shops that are famous for their kite selection.
Shopping
In our area we have many places to go shopping at. We are only 15 miles from the Seaside Outlet mall. If you would prefer we also have downtown Astoria 8 miles north. In the summer you can shop outdoors at the Sunday market, or you can choose from any of the wonderful stores to shop from.
Theater
If you are interested in the Theater we are close to Astoria's Theater which runs from July 10 - Sept. 13. One of their famous shows is "Shanghaied in Astoria", which is a 19th century story.
Did you hear about all our movie sites
The north coast area has been used in many different movies. Here are just a few, "The Goonies", "Come See The Paradise" , "Kindergarten Cop" , "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3" , "Free Willy" and "Short Circuit". Can you find any of the famous spots?
