Grayland Beach State Park Campground

Unexpected great weather this time. ( Weekend of March 16) High 60's and no wind! Above summary and previous reviews remain valid. The only thing to add is that the drivable beach is a 5 min drive away and will handle cars, trucks and RV's easily. No camping there though. Also, the Hosts advised that firewood will only be sold at the park office now instead of by the hosts due to safety concerns of having cash on hand. This may end up applying to all WA state parks. Sign of the times. Nice and quiet this time of year and still a great park. AT&T very spotty. T-Mobile worked fine for phone and data.

The sites are large and level, and roads were easy to navigate. Privacy between sites varies within different loops, but most have at least some screening from your neighbors.

We found T-Mobile cell signal to be consistent with Campendium reviews, but cellular signal was much stronger in the InstyConnect using our Verizon data card (82 Mbps down, 1.82 up).

There were lots of dogs in the campground, but they were all kept quiet and we weren’t bothered by a lot of barking or loose dogs. The only bummer was the dog poop left behind in the campsites, which is funny because there are poop bags available all throughout the park!

Shower and bathroom facilities were clean, but elderly. Shower was set up for accessibility, water was warm and water pressure was adequate. Wear shower shoes.

Garbage dumpsters are located conveniently near all the loops.

We recommend a trip into Westport to visit the Grays Harbor Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, if you have any interest in local history. The Westport Viewing Tower near the marina is also worth checking out for awesome views of Grays Harbor and Westport.

We’ve only been here in the late fall / early winter, and we can tell you that that time of year, this place should be renamed Soggy State Park 😂 Given its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, it shouldn’t come as a shock that there is a lot of rain in the off-season. If you like the sound of rain on your RV roof, you’ll really like it here if you come during those months. They keep some of the dryer spots reservable during the wet season, and the rest are available on a first-come, first-served basis so you can decide for yourself if it’s dry enough for you.

Sogginess aside, this park and area are a real treat in the winter. It gets a little busier if there is a razor clam dig going on, but overall we felt like we had the park and the whole Twin Harbor Beach area to ourselves. Exploring the waterfront shops and marina in Westport is nice. It was also convenient being relatively close to the bigger town of Aberdeen for picking up any supplies we needed.

SEAFOOD! SEAFOOD! SEAFOOD! Razor clamming on the beach and crabbing from the docks in Westport, then cooking up our catch back at camp was a tasty blast. If catching your own seafood isn’t your thing both Merino’s Seafood Market and Brady’s Oysters are close by with great selections in addition to whatever they are selling from the boats in the marina (check out the Westport’s Fresh Catch billboard by the docks to see whats available). If you prefer your food handed to you ready to eat, Merino’s also has a restaurant with a great menu. Plus, there is Bennett’s Fish Shack which is one of our favorites.

One of the most beautiful campgrounds we have ever seen; lush and green, super clean and nicely laid out. Lots of mosquitoes; so much so that our bug spray did not work well enough to allow us to stay outside after dusk. The beach was a bit too far away for us. Services in the the town of Westport about 20 minutes away. Zero cell phone service.

We really enjoyed our stay at Grayland State Beach Park. The park is very neat and clean, the sites are spacious and in the woods. All the hookups worked great as they should. We enjoyed walking in the park especially and enjoying the fall flowers, the late season berries, and the wildlife which consisted mostly of little frogs hopping around the grass. We spent most of our time on bikes up in Westport. The short 2 mile trail from the observation deck to the lighthouse was beautiful and we stopped numerous times to admire the views. We also enjoyed riding around downtown to find a coffee (Captain Jack’s drive through was open), ice cream (Whale of a Cone), and enjoy views of the harbor. Cell coverage was not so good in the campground and there was no WiFi. I was able to pick up cell coverage with my cell signal booster and in that way, we had adequate bandwidth to attend a zoom meeting. Without the booster, this would not have been possible.

Stayed here and used RV Pad next to a yurt that was rented out for my son and his buddies. Space was very nice, private and has electric plus water at site. Rate was yurt cost plus $30 a night for RV. Went razor clamming and had a great time. Bathrooms and showers are clean. Park is kept up very well and ranger was really nice. Dump station has an actual hose to hook up to you black tank flush (first park I have seen this). Would come back as you get beach plus privacy sites.

We had a great 3 night stay at Grayland Beach State Park. Site 21 was paved, very level and FHUs were good. Lots of privacy between sites in our loop as well. The park is very well maintained and we enjoyed the many well-marked beach trails. You can also drive to (and on) the beach! Not surprised this is one of the best state parks in WA!
