Seal Rocks RV Cove

If you love gorgeous views, quiet campsites and friendly people... you will love Seal Rock. Large sites and plenty of space. We had such a lovely time. We already booked it again for next summer. It is low on amenities like laundry facility and club rooms etc but the beach is right there and the views are spectacular. The host Robin was wonderful. We were able to work from our site with starlink blazing. The campground wifi is unreliable. You are paying for the views.

We stayed here this last weekend and overall enjoyed our stay. Sites are close together, but access to Seal Rock and Newport are great and fit the our needs for the weekend. My only complaint is that the wifi did not work well at all. I was able to use it for a few minutes, and then it would stall out. My husband experienced the same issue.

We both have Verizon and we both had terrible service here.

We had no problem finding or getting into Seal Rock RV Cove campground (CG) as it is right off US 101 at Seal Rock, OR. However, our GPS wanted us to turn at Seal Rock St. which is on the other side of the CG and is actually the exit for the CG. Turn at NW Cross St. then swing left into the park. The CG was still under self appointed COVID rules during our stay with no touch check in. You receive an email a couple of days prior to arrival letting you know the current rules and you respond to the email to let them know you have arrived. We drove straight to our back-in site 18 with FHUs. Site 18 has mature hedges on both sides that made the back-in a little narrow but there was enough space in the loop that we were able to maneuver our 39’ 5th wheel into the site easily enough. We made a couple of small adjustments to put our rig where we wanted it. We noticed as we drove in that there were signs everywhere stating you had to wear a mask while walking around the CG, but not in your site. Oregon had reduced mask restrictions not too long before our stay, and very few people wore masks walking around the CG, nor was anything said to us about not wearing a mask. Site 18 is one of the better ocean view sites in the park and has a lot of privacy, though any of the ocean view sites would be great. As the CG is right off 101, you’re going to get highway noise but it does tapper down at night through early morning. We only got 3 channels on their cable. OTA was a better option with a few more channels. Because of the Olympics, we went ahead and set up our satellite, which had a clear shot to the southern sky. On Verizon, we got 1 bar and often no internet. We put up our WeBoost and got 2 to 3 bars but sometimes the 3G network wouldn’t produce internet. Our best option for internet was when the CG’s WiFi wasn’t busy such as early morning. Water pressure was very good and we used our reducer. Seal Rock is a very popular RV park and we made our reservations almost a year in advance. We called and asked permission to have packages sent here with no problem. The restroom facility was closed during our stay and they were not allowing tent campers due to COVID. In our opinion, the views and easy beach access (you do have to cross 101) to the dog friendly beach, set this CG apart from others. Seal Rock is a great location to explore the Oregon Coast.

This spot is beautiful. The grounds are landscaped and well cared for. Great spacing between rigs of 10'+. Managers are not very interactive but that's likely due to their very strict COVID regs. You must wear a mask anywhere on the grounds except your own site and there are signs everywhere reminding you to do so. They have STOPPED TENT CAMPING and bathrooms/showers are closed, as is the office. Our site was one of the front ones, which I wouldn't recommend because the 101 road noise is constant. Better to pick 18-21 or others. Because this is on a hill, just about all sites have some view of the ocean. The walk to the beautiful beach is just minutes. Dogs can run free on the beach!

We were parked in one of 3 sites at the top of the campground. The sites are staggered, so I was "working" on my computer with the ocean crashing over the rocks just a quick head turn away. Very distracting and I was not very productive during our stay.

There is a road between the campground and the beach, but there is almost no noise. The beach is awesome, with the classic "Oregon coastline" with rocks in the ocean defying the waves and rock pools at low tide. The dogs loved it, except we had to keep them on a leash because seagulls make them deaf apparently.

We are 45' and had no problem getting into our space, although I think these spaces are mainly reserved for big rigs because they are plenty deep and easy to back into.

There are a couple of local food options, but to be honest, we always went into Newport to eat and shop. Stop at South Beach Fish Market on the left before you get to the bridge.

Rate reflects the weekly rate paid in a “regular” site. They have three pricing categories and we chose the least expensive. Still had an amazing ocean view. The park is right on US 101 but highway noise was never an issue. Our site was very easy to access, the interior roads had just enough space to get our rig backed into our site easily. Our site was nice and level on a gravel pad that was wide enough that we didn’t have to walk in any mud. We got crappy service from our AT&T phones but our T-Mobile Hotspot worked like a charm. The park WIFI was basic. Got all the major Portland TV stations with our OTA antenna which had a nicer picture than the park cable. All transactions with the office were done over the phone and email, a truly non contact experience. Bathrooms were closed due to Covid so be sure you are self contained. Also no laundry facilities in the park but plenty nearby. What made this park 5 star for me is the location. You are right across the highway from a beautiful beach with super easy access. We had an amazing view of the ocean from our site. You are also close to some very nice towns. The largest town is Newport, home of the world headquarters of the world famous Rogue Brewery. Newport is about 10 miles to the north and has big grocery stores, a Walmart, and tons of stuff to do. There is a small town of Seal Rock with some very basic services (coffee house, mexican food stand, convenience store, art galleries), There are also a couple towns to the south, Waldport (5 miles) with few restaurants, a mid sized grocery store, laundry, fuel, etc. Yachats is about 13 miles south and has a more upscale feel with great eats and shops, and is also the gateway to Cape Perpetua which has great hiking and a breathtaking stretch of natural coastal wonders. I could go on and on about the area. Seal Rocks RV Cove is a great option for exploring, a true hidden gem of a park!
