Nice stay, clean site. Bay Center’s KOA no longer has the familiar friendly/social feel (activities, fundraisers, community bake sales, chowder cooking contests, etc). We’ve been coming for over 10yrs, several times each year and notice a significant change. It’s no longer our “go to” campground; there’s plans to build more sites in the back which will lose the cozy feel of a small cam

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sorry that the experience has changed. We do provide activities, Memorial Day through Labor Day. We would love to host the communtiy bake sales but the group that did this is no longer doing it. The sites we plan on adding are only a few, to address the demand we have of needing more sites.

4 night stay. Small family oriented campground with access to the bay. Warmly greeted by campground hosts. Our original site didn’t have sewer hookup and as luck would have it a new site just became available and we were able to get full hookups. They even ran cable tv to our trailer. And the most amazing part was all the deer every night around 5. There were 7 of them maybe 100 feet away!

Vraiment bien organisé. Beaux sites et très tranquille. Bel emplacement pour voir les couchers de soleil.

Really liked staying here in motorhome. This koa is rustic and more rugged than most. We had a roomy site under the mature trees. Dennis was really nice. The ice cream for the social would highly suggest! Very good. Sorry I missed the wine and beer tasting! I bought two single beers from frig and were good. The park and restrooms were clean but the restrooms need a bit of updating. I’ll be back!

My response is based on a singular aspect of my stay, discussed with the manager, and concerns what I consider to be an immediate danger that has failed to gain management attention, that of a trail leading from the main camp through the woods to a steep point going down to the beach below, where the railing is broken and children could easily fall over the edge a great distance below.

Thank you for sharing this with us. We are aware that our stairs are steep. We are working with the county and other agencies to find a better solution that works for everyone.

We had a wonderful experience at the Bay Center/Willapa Bay KOA. The staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful. It is nice that they send out daily texts with helpful information. The store is very well stocked with items both for camping and as souvenirs. They have a great playground for children and several different activities, jumping pad and panning for gems. We will return. Thank you

Very peaceful stay. The scenery is beyond compare at this location. Easy walk to the beach for clamming or relaxing and enjoying the views. Dennis was super helpful guiding us into our site. He even trimmed some of the trees so we could fit our 44' fifth wheel into the spot without any trees scraping the rig!

This was our 2 time staying at this location. We returned because of the beach and the cute gnomes all around, sadly we learned it was under in management and all the gnomes are gone. Also the beautiful forest surrounding the camp will be cut down to expand.

We stayed in one of your rustic cabins, a nice version of camping out. Staff was friendly and helpful. The setting is beautiful. It's a bit far to eating establishments if not planning on cooking. This probably will be our last "camping out". Beds are a bit firm for old bones and treks to the bathroom in the middle of the night a bit of a challenge but sure beats picking a tent!

Our stay was so wonderful and the staffs there were super nice, friendly and so helpful. Especially Steve, my kids said he was so nice to give them extra waffles because they wait was a little longer than usual. The deluxe cabin was super clean and nice. We will definitely come back yearly.

Nice kid/family centric events! Site optimising software needs some refining trying to put motorhome towing into too short/tight spots

Enjoyed our campsite, staff was friendly and accommodating. We’ve been coming here for 15 years and will be back next year!

Great place to stay. Beautiful location and scenery. The facilities are clean.

It was clean. Employees were friendly. It was noisy next to my cabin by the next cabin over. The steps leading to the beach were made to steep and hard for older people and pets to get access to beach. the bathtub was quite slippery especially for older people like my family. The camp used to be better a few years ago before all the changes.

Great place to stay. Clean, friendly staff and quiet. Beautiful views and clamming. All you need.

The campground, staff, cabin, and access to the bay was exceptional! Our family had a very lovely time. It was a very family/dog friendly campground. Rating as 4/5 because the campground has a policy of no electric vehicle charging so we will not be able to come back.

Great (but different) beach at end of campground trail. Nice clean restrooms, 24hr laundry (but no coin changer), nice little camp store and friendly staff. Am told an exterior facelift is in the works. A little pricey though, otherwise would’ve given 5 stars.

The camp staff were very welcoming and helping us quickly find our spot and park our RV. The campground was clean and our kids had a great time on the bounce pad and at the playground. And it was nice to be able to communicate with the staff via text. We will definitely be staying here again!

Campground was beautiful. Bathrooms clean and well stocked. Campsites were well maintained and level! Steve, the manager was a gracious host. We look forward to returning and seeing the new section.

Steve was very friendly and helpful. The trail to the water was a pleasant walk until the stairway to the water, which felt more like a ladder going down! Some were enjoying the bay and were raking for clams. There are no restaurants or grocery stores nearby, other than a seafood market. The big disappointment was paying extra for patio that was at the rear of the pull thru so grass tracked in.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry that our patio site was not to your standard. As we are always looking at ways to improve peoples experiences, we will take this into account.

We will go back!! It's a very nice KOA, with really great owners and employees!! If you're a clammer, they provide your fork and bucket to use in Willapa Bay! If you have kids they have lots of activities!!

10/10 recommend you stay here! They had movie night Friday and Saturday, Glitter tattoos & tons of other activities for the kids and adults to enjoy. We stayed 4 night and we would have loved to stay other 4. Thank you to the staff for making our stay the best possible!

Excellent KOA campground. We truly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful setting, quiet evenings, and we appreciated seeing families and people of all ages in tents, RV's, yurts, and cabins enjoying this campground. Our site was a full hook-up RV site with trees, a fire ring and a full-size picnic table. Once parked, we found our site was perfectly level! We heartily recommend this KOA campground.

Great Campground. Attentive and accommodating hosts, clean campsites, and a really great location.

I traveled with 4 kids and my dog. It had everything I have come to appreciate about KOAs along with charming extras. The cabins were really close together but the greenery helps it feel more secluded. I loved that it was family and pet friendly, made our trip so enjoyable for everyone!

Wonderful. Everything that a tent camper needs has been thought thru and provided by the management here. Will recommend to friends and family. Thanks.
Aug 26, 2023
Great location and the camp employees were very nice and helpful. Definitely would stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay. Was really happy with site #62 and the space and privacy for our dog Ryker. Wife says get Starbucks iced coffee in the store.

We loved the campground. Our only complaint was your Wi-Fi did not work at all
Aug 26, 2023
Great campground with relatively easy access to the beach. Will probably go back. Didn't like that we were put into a site without dump. There were plenty of empty sites with dump.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We would love to have you back. You were placed in a water/electric site because that is what you selected online. We would have happily got you into a full hook up site but there were none available for your entire stay. You would have had to move sites each night and expressed that was not ideal

Everything very clean. Restrooms clean, campgrounds very clean. front desk very nice and helpfull

All good, except for the neighbor's rooster.

The hosts are amazing! They had to do some repairs on the site we rented so they upgraded us to a yurt at no charge and threw in some fire wood. My husband is just recently disabled and using a walker or cane and the hosts were so accommodating and even checked on him. Everything is clean and beautiful. There's activities for kids, a trail to the beach, a dog park and I could go on and on. We already r looking at booking for my husband's birthday in Aug. We will be back!

The grounds are clean and filled with beautiful wildflowers and Sitka spruce. The couple managing the grounds are so friendly and helpful! The cabin be stayed in was fully equipped with everything we needed. We had so much fun at the local beach too. Great stay!

We booked in the evening at the last minute & Brian & Erica were so great & accommodating! We were out of town & on our way home, then needed a place for the night. They have excellent customer service, they got us a cabin ready & showed us where the trail to the bay was. Everything was nice & clean! Beautiful campground! We really appreciated a nice place after a long trip & they were just great! The Wilson's
