What a shame. Way too many campers for the facilities. Two showers and toilet facilities and two porta-toilets that had not been pumped for three days. Then all the beach tent campers started arriving to camp on the beach on Friday. By Friday night you could hardly walk on the beach without walking through tent sites to get to the water. There were not enough garbage or recycle containers and I never saw a garbage or recycle company come in to pickup. I know that the portables where not pumped since the Tuesday before. By Sunday they were filled to the brim. There has to be code violations. When I booked my site a year ago, I was told that the area was day use only. Wrong. We had 7 rigs camping together and none of us will be back. We spent 8 nights here. Never again We camped here in a Motorhome.

Camp sites here are given, not chosen. Restrooms were not cleaned at the posted times. Trash was not picked up daily, therefore, a huge pile. Very crowded camp spaces. Website page states $1.25 for 7 minute shower; however no money required for showers. There is not enough restrooms for number of campers. Rate increased from $25.00 to $30.00 per night. We camped here in a Tent.

If you like tent campers, pop-ups, 5th wheels, RVs, lots of kids, and dogs all mixed together, this is the place for you. While they have separate tent campsite area they also allow them to intermingle with RVs with many sites having multiple tents; this was not a good mix in our opinion. The kids were good and dogs controlled and only a few owners did not pick up after their pets. This park has a private beech 3/8ths mile long which is nice except it was not well kept up with lots of leftover trash from the day before. Also, they allow tent camping on the beech. The interior roads were gravel, narrow, and the RV sites were gravel as well. There were some grassy areas but they were reserved for tent campers only. Staff were friendly but failed to deliver firewood ($8) as promised. The park is old and rather unsightly just having become a KOA. They have a long way to go to come up to the standards that we are use to for KOAs, and they are not inexpensive. They do have a little store, but no clubhouse. That they don't have cable TV or Wi-Fi capability is rather retro. There is absolutely no cell phone service and of the two public phones provided, only one worked. We stayed a week but will not return again We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground has changed since our last visit. We spent Memorial Day 2009 weekend here. They have turned it into a KOA campground and changed all of the rules. Memorial Day weekend was full. Full of drunks, dogs running at large with no leash laws in effect, they were crapping all over the place! My children were afraid to go outside of our campsite, even outside our tent for fear of the dogs running loose. People were allowed to come in and set up camp at all hours of the night and morning. This is not a family friendly campground anymore, unless you don't care about your kids, getting any sleep, or feeling safe. We have come here for the last 10 years, and I have never seen such a mess. It really is sad to lose our favorite vacation spot. We camped here in a Tent.

My only problem with this park is that there are no restrooms close to the tent camping on the beach. So guess where the campers go? I stay there after a good rain or in the winter when traffic is low. Beautiful scenery but the sand is more like dirt, dark and coarse . Now that it is a KOA I don`t know that I will visit anymore. Still searching for that special Nor Cal dog friendly beach / RV park. Happy Trails. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great beach campground. Our family, kids and adults, had a blast with such easy access to the beach and generally friendly campers. The management seemed very helpful and is a well-run RV park. The facilities were very adequate and there are many activities available. This was our first visit and several of our neighbors were quite complimentary about the park and had been staying there for many years. Exploring the gorgeous coastline is worth the driving time. We plan to visit again during the summer months. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place is great. The bathrooms were clean as were the Campgrounds. The beach is right there you can see the ocean from a lot of the sites. We will go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We just arrived home today from our 4 night stay at the Westport KOA. We loved it for lack of better words! Very open and clean, friendly staff, clean showers/bathrooms, clean laundry facilities for washing little ones beach clothes :) We can't wait to go back! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I have stayed here many many times over many many years and I love it every time. I appreciate the fact that the management kicks out people that think they are above the rules that the rest of us follow. Sneaking people in is actually STEALING, HELLO???? Those rules are what keep the low life out of a nice family park. So you people go ahead and stay home, my family will keep going and I guarantee, you won't be missed. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Wow, what can I say. This place was SO difficult to deal with that we walked away from a prepaid reservation. First, if you try to reserve via email (on their website, they say "Contact Us" via email) no one will EVER answer your message. Second, if you try to reserve via phone, no one will EVER answer, nor will they call you back. It took us three tries and three weeks to get through. You would think we would have learned our lesson by then, but no, silly us, we went ahead and reserved. Then we had a scheduling problem come up, so we tried to cancel. This was SIX WEEKS before we were due to stay there. Would they refund? NO. Were they rude? YES. They did agree to move our reservation to another weekend. We arrived that weekend, looked down at the camp spot on the beach and it looked lovely. We checked in at the office. It was 11:35am. They proceeded to tell us check-in was at noon. There was hardly anyone in the campground and our spot was empty. Would they let us check in? NO. Would they let us wait until noon down on the beach? NO. So we drove a bit down their road to have room to turn around and find something to do for that essential 35 minutes, when out of the front door of the owner's house comes this woman, yelling at us, demanding to know if we checked in. That did it. We left, and left our money on the table, although I plan to tell [my credit card issuer] NOT to pay this bill. It will be worth it just to make them jump through some hoops for it. Do not stay here. Do not call them. Do not email them. They are truly the worst. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We actually we didn't end up staying at this park because of the terrible attitude and disposition of the older lady and man in the check in shack. They were very rude and turned us off immediately. We asked if we could tour the park to see where we would like to stay and very rudely, she said we don't have any maps, you have 10 min and don't get out of your pickup. We did get out of the pickup because we wanted to see how clean there facilities were....they were very dirty. That put the icing on the cake. They are very over priced and too far out of the way besides. For being a newly remodeled camp ground it has not been maintained very well. I used to stay at this camp ground many years ago when I was growing up...too bad, I really wanted my grandkids to experience this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We too had trouble getting through to the management by phone. They truly have the worst customer service I have experienced at any campground. My husband called repeatedly to make a reservation because we were meeting several other members of our family for a reunion. We should have realized when they didn't answer the phone and when they required full payment up front that we were not dealing with a reputable business, but we wanted to enjoy a vacation with family by the beach. We found out several weeks before our stay that we would not be able to make it in time for the first night so we left a message on the answering machine that we would be there early the next morning and to please call us if that would be a problem. Please note that we finally left this message a week before our arrival and only because we could not reach a live person by phone. We did not hear back from them so we assumed, like with other reputable campgrounds, that everything was fine for us to come in early the morning after our scheduled arrival. We drove around the gate and figured we would just walk up and check in when the office opened for business, after all we had paid for the spot and we knew where it was. The manager apparently saw us drive down and he high-tailed it in his pickup and stopped right in front of us, jumped out of his truck and very rudely asked us what the **** we thought we were doing. My husband did not know who he was because he never identified that he was connected with the campground, but said we called and left a message and had already paid for the spot. Now, any reasonable person would have said there must have been a miscommunication, but not that guy, he had his chest all puffed out and looked like he was going to punch us out. Now picture this--we have a new RV, are middle aged and do not look the least bit like we are going to be dishonest. He made us go back up the hill and wait for hours before we could go back down to our campsite, that had been paid for and that we were already in front of when he pulled in front of our rig. There was no need for this guy to be so rude and condescending. Oh yah, and he also said that we can't expect them to return phone calls. Excuse me? Why would you have an answering machine if you don't return calls. We will never stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our second stay at Westport and both times we have been happy with the campground. There are several spaces that have direct ocean views with full hookups. Some are pull through while others are back in only. The spaces are relatively large considering the location and view. This is on the northern coast though and never really gets warm. In July, the highs never reached 70. Westport is a good drive from almost everything so come fully stocked and plan on enjoying the great beach access. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

To the previous camper, contact BBB and your credit card company for a refund. They are horrible at Westport. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I am extremely disgusted with the manager at this campground. We have been happily coming to this campground for 30 years with our families. Unfortunately when new management took over, the customer service disintegrated. Our last trip we paid in full for a group campsite. The following evening the last of our families was to arrive. Not being informed of their 9pm “no admittance” policy; our friends arrived at 9:15. The manager was just shutting down for the night but was still at the post. Our friends had driven for 4 hours with two children (four and two years old). The manager would not let the family into the campground. In addition he would not let them communicate with us that they had arrived safely (there is no cellular service). Instead he refused admittance and told them to find another campsite or go to a hotel. They ended up having to drive the family another 30 minutes to stay in a hotel. It gets better…..they arrived the following morning at 11:30am to check in and to let us know that they had arrived safely. The manager would not let them in until 12pm or he stated that they could pay $8 plus a $20 deposit for a day-use pass. They family gave him $40 to cover those fees. However, instead of granting them entrance, he stated, “I don’t need your money. You need my campsite, so you can come back at 12pm, and maybe I will let you in”. Dumbstruck they left again and returned at 12pm. They were finally admitted into our already ‘paid in full’ campsite. In addition we spoke with another family not related to our group. A gentleman had been staying with some friends in their camper until his wife could arrive a couple of days later. When she arrived, she wanted to get into contact with her husband at the campsite to figure out where she was to reserve the site. Again the manager would not let her consult with her husband to figure out their arrangements. I am sickened by these events because I have so many fond memories of this campground as a child and as an adult. Now my memories have been tainted by the ridiculousness of the manager. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is one of most beautiful campsites we have ever experienced. The grounds are very well maintained. Special care has been taken particularly in the tent sites to create very private natural settings. There is a creek that runs through the campgrounds, which many of the tent sites back to. We stayed in two different sites - both with excellent views of the ocean, steps away from the sand. Overall, a very quite, private campground with fantastic ocean/ creek/ woods scenery. Also, the park is dog friendly - dogs are allowed on the beach, which is not easy to find in CA. On the negatives, my wife did find the bathrooms to be not well maintained. Also, as other reviews have noted, they do not answer the phone. On average, it took me three calls to get a response. However, they were not rude in any way and the overall phone nuisance issue was nothing compared to this fantastic campsite. Other reviewers who have focused on these issues, have missed the point of this very beautiful oceanfront campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We made reservations and due to a family emergency had to cancel the reservation. We tried to cancel 20 minutes after making it and they didn't answer the phone. I finally got a real person on the phone after a week of calling daily and leaving a message that we were cancelling. I was told once you make the reservation, you DO NOT get your money back, even though they didn't tell us that, and it does not say so on their web site. Not only do they not give you a refund, they are extremely rude. Buyer beware, make sure you are going or else you will be out a lot of money, for a 4 night stay it was $235.00. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a beautiful park on the beach with the absolute worst customer service ever experienced! It took us over a month to make a reservation, after sending them many e-mails, leaving several voice messages, because they NEVER answer their phone, if by some act of God you get a live person to answer the phone, they tell you that they can't help you because they are sooo busy. I understand that people can be short handed, and have bad days, but they offer no excuses, no apologies, and if you don't like it, tough. Very frustrating when you are driving over 200 miles to spend $300 on their resort. Not only this, but you pay 100% up front with NO refund whatsoever, no cancellations allowed. I will not return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campground. Very crowded on the 4th of July. Lots of tent campers on the beach which kind of ruined the beach area. Lots of beach walking and tide pools. Staff was friendly and put an end to some late night noise. The road to the park is very narrow and lot of sharp turns. Be prepared. Town is quite a distance from the camp so try not to forget anything. We will definitely go back here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great, clean, and the beach provided a good long hike. We loved driving up the Lost Coast from here to beaches visited only by the adventurous! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

After looking around the area one of the best from Ft. Bragg North, Pomo in Ft. Bragg is a little nicer, but does not have the ocean view and beach access that Westport has. The premium sites on the west side of the park have great ocean views, as long as you get the sites that have no other RV units west of your unit. We stayed late in the season and the park was not very occupied, but it was concerning to see some old units that seemed to be parked there for quite a while, one had a gnarly looking individual that was always hanging out his passenger side window of his old ratty RV and stared at us every time that we drove by. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a wonderful park. You can get sites with an ocean view or with a Wages Creek view. You can also get rv sites nestled in trees. With an RV you do have 1 close neighbor that shares your hookup area. There are also tent sites either nestled in trees, next to Wages Creek, or right on the beach. Some tent sites are very private. Firepits and picnic benches at each site, rv or tent. Campground store sells neccesities and firewood. Although the store is not open all the times they say. The office also sells ice and is next to the laundry. Next to the store are showers, a playground, and a sand volleyball court. Complimentary loaning of fishing poles, video/dvd's, volleyballs, horseshoes, and shuffleboard with the security of your driver's license or ID. You can rent boogie boards for $10/day. While there is almost no cell phone service until you get down to near Ft. Bragg, there is telephone service that you need to put a $40 refundable deposit on for the special adapter. With a phone you can get a local internet service provider for about $20/mo. We run about 26.4k. Campground is quiet from 9pm until about 9am. We investigated about 10 other rv parks south to just beyond Ft. Bragg and could find nothing even close to as nice, relaxed, and close to the beach as this campground. The manager did everything he could to get us as close to the beach as possible considering we reserved during the busiest time of year. We can see the ocean from our Rv and walk to water within 5 minutes. Many children and families in park. Many ride bicycles. There is a convience store in Westport about 1 mile south that is open 7am-9pm all year round with also mail service. Monthly rates are $450/mo. One warning. This campground is on N. Hwy 1. The distance from Ft. Bragg is only 15 miles, but takes you at least 30 minutes to drive. Very curvy roads. Do the Speed Limits. Especially through Cleone. Pros: Beaches are clean and you can find shells or abalone. Fishing in area is wonderful for Salmon, halibut, rockfish, etc. Campground is kept clean. All the campers we met were polite and engaging. Sandy areas to swim and tidepools to explore. Cons: Store not being open at times set. Laundry is up hill by office so easier to drive clothing up to it. No cell phone service. Dangerous, curvy roads especially during the common foggy days. Our whole family loved this campground and it will be our only choice if we are in the area again. Highly recommended! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is ok. Not alot of room between sites. Nice beach. Little pricey We camped here in a Motorhome.

Because we did not tow our rented car into the park, we had to pay an extra $20.00 per day. We had paid in advance, for 3 days, so we could not get a refund. The manager required we give them dates to return on the spot. We felt forced into having to stay and pay the extra. The manager was very rude. He was doing us a favor. Our spot was so close to our neighbor we could exchange cups through our windows. The trip we were looking forward to was spoiled. We will not ever stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This 30 acre campground is composed of a wide dunes and beach, with a wooded interior section. Sites #101-175 were for full hookups. We paid $4.00 extra to be as close to the beach as possible, and $1.00 fee for our small dog. The phone hookups required an unusual connector, which we ended up borrowing from the office, with a $40 deposit. It was disappointing that our site was so far from the ocean (separated by the wide dunes ) and that the site was so close to the neighbor's RV. But if you don't mind that your RV is distant from the waves, and a little too close to your neighbor, the campground has a lot of potential to offer "good times at the beach."
