Situated in a quiet, natural forest setting on picturesque Willapa Bay, this is just the place to leave your daily life behind - and enjoy the tidal bay! A scenic nature trail leads from the campground right to the beach, where you'll enjoy bird-watching and beachcombing. Swim in the tidal bay, rake for delicious steamer clams (license required) and work up an appetite for the area's famous Willapa Bay oysters. You're close to lighthouses and the Pacific. Play a game of ladder ball or cornhole. Mine for gems at our Mining Sluice or Jump your cares away on our jump pad. Enjoy ice cream socials and family activities every weekend (Memorial Day through Labor Day). Then finish your perfect day with a beautiful sunset over the bay. Max pull thru: 70 feet. Your hosts: Joel and Lydia Fodor.

WINTER BEACH ACCESS - During Winter Months (November through March), we have to close our beach access. This is due to very high tides that bring large logs and other debris that change our coastline every year. We want to make sure our guests stay safe. Thank you for understanding.
