Very nice smaller State Park located in the Oregon Dunes. Small lake within walking distance and one of the most beautiful lighthouses on the coast. Heavily treed so satellite TV not useable. Umpqua river close by with great crabbing and salmon fishing in the fall. Facilities old but clean. Great place to spend a few quiet days while touring the coast. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Spotless! A manicured facility that serves as an excellent base camp from which to explore this interesting area of Oregon. When we visited the weather was foul and occupancy was very light. Staff were friendly and accommodating and provided helpful tips on enjoying the area and finding good eats! Great rest rooms, showers and laundry. We enjoyed brisk walks with the doggie along the ocean early in the morning, eating seafood on the piers and sightseeing. Had we more time, the crabbing looked great. Our small interior site was the cheapest and tiniest available but perfectly fine for our needs. The premium and ocean front sites are wonderful for those who want to go more upscale but can be spendy at up to $75.00 or more. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
What a wonderful RV resort! Beautiful grounds, spacious sites, fantastic views! We stayed in our 36' class A for a week. Can't say enough about how wonderful it was to stay somewhere where everything is neat, cable and WIFI work without a hitch, sites are beautifully manicured, and you can walk to see the marina, bay or a distant view of the ocean! The bonus is that there are activities to do within a half hour's drive! Will definitely return! We camped here in a Motorhome.
As previous reviewer noted the slabs at the sites are narrow, but that is the only complaint I have about this park. From the way they handled our reservation to the way we were greeted…the cleanliness of the restrooms, the laundry, beautiful landscaping; beautiful marina views. Griff’s might have good seafood, but I did not go there. I stopped in late one afternoon and asked if they had seafood coating in their “market.” They offered to sell me some of the coating they use…at $10 for two cups. I don’t think so. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I had driven by Winchester Bay a number of times while traveling on 101. Someone told me to check it out. Boy, I'm glad I did. This county park is a jewel. I was in space 112 which had a great view mostly of the Marina. Nice long space. Only negative - the pads are not wide enough so I got my shoes wet. It would be nice if they added some pavers or stepping stones. Be sure to make a reservation. It was reported that they are sold out most of the summer. Lots of ATV activity on the dunes. A great 9 hole private golf course in Reedsport. Men's day is Thursday. I was welcomed as a 'guest'. I will stay at this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice sites and great views. The front rows face the sea or harbor. The interior sites are about 5 feet higher so you still get a view. The shower/rest room/laundry buildings are new and spotless. I did not see one thing wrong. I would not say it is a great place for children if you are looking for activities. The wifi is weak unless you are in the buildings. That is its only weakness. Price is off season. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a business that obviously cares about it's facility! The hostess greeting us was very friendly and competent. The restroom/shower facilities were the nicest and cleanest we have encountered. We selected a marina view lot, but it appears there are no bad sites! The commercial docks and restaurants are within walking/bicycling distance. We feel the off-season rates between Oct 15 and May 15 are very reasonable. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great - If you travel through the Oregon Coast don't miss this Resort. Spotless and well groomed. We were in site 54 with an ocean view and the ocean lapping at the rocks about 30 feet behind our site. What a great experience after the nightmare visit to Turtle Rock RV in Gold Beach Oregon We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Rate was for small interior site. Shoreline view sites were $5 more a night. We had a great view anyways as there were only about 15 RVs in the entire park. Good sized washers and dryers in the two laundrys. Strong WIFI signal that occasionally slowed down at night as more computers shared the WIFI. Other than lack of a lounge or game room this place is just about perfect. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I agree with the prior reviews. Extra nice showers/restrooms/laundry. Well spaced sites. Nice views from all of our windows. It sites are elevated. Great for bike riding. No kids to be seen at this park. Very clean, easy access. The wireless internet worked perfectly here. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park is in a great setting, has nice sites, and all the modern hookups including cable and WIFI. Good base for central Oregon coast, but little to do in the immediate area except walk to town, browse the shops and walk back to the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Best park on the west coast. Beautifully run, landscaped and maintained by friendly staff. Grassy sites with concrete pads. Two sites are large enough for multiple rigs. Campfires are ok. Back ins, pull ins, and pull throughs. Quiet except for the sea gulls and distant fog horn. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lovely Resort--a favorite place to visit and escape the heat. The RV resort is very nice and well maintained. Rates vary from $20 for dry camping to $36 for waterfront sites. Smaller interior lots are in between. There are picnic tables and fire rings at each site. An abundance of fresh seafood is available in the area is outstanding. You will want visit the cannery to buy freshly canned tuna and salmon. There are several great places to eat or you can buy fresh seafood to prepare at your rig. I bought some for the freezer, and many cans of the canned tuna and salmon. It is more expensive than the grocery store variety, but well worth the cost. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice well maintained park. Streets are asphalt. Sites are asphalt and level. Sites are landscaped with well maintained grass and shrubs. The park is big rig friendly. There are a lot of cable TV channels. There are no trees, so satellite dishes work well. They have wifi, but I never could get it to work. This is one or the nicest parks that we have ever stayed at and we will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park. Very well run and maintained. Nice sites with view and wind protection. Lots of places to walk. Great seafood at "Griffs". Staff was very helpful. Staying here was a pleasant experience and would recommend it to anybody. Verizon cell phone was iffy, air card worked? While we were there I was never able to use their wifi. When I checked in they told me the network wasn't working real well! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Always one of our favorite. Extra nice showers/laundry. Easy in and out. We are in a B Van and towing. Didn't have reservations until that morning. Was lucky to get a spot. No spot over the weekend, as park is very popular, but did get a spot for four nights. Third time here and will always try to stop here each time we come thru... We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice people. Wonderful hostess, Maryann. Entire park is CLEAN as are the facilities. Waterfront site was ample in size and great views of water and sunsets. I noticed when a unit checked out, the picnic table was washed down as were the hookups. This place was special on our trip of the Oregon coast. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Wonderful place, wish we could have stayed longer. Very clean, well-cared for, one of the best in the state. Too bad wifi was a problem, mostly at night. strong signal but too much traffic on it. Good idea to make reservations, and to get the cheaper interior sites unless you want to splurge for the waterfront views. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This wasn't our first stay (or our last). We keep coming back for all the good reasons: cool climate, great biking paths, super choice of sites, fabulous fresh seafood. clean campground, free WiFi (yes, we got the signal occasionally but preferred to use our Verizson Broadband Access). No problem for spouse to get Sat signal. There were lots of families towing their ATVs to adjacent sand dunes. Park rules kept the noise to a minimum. Weekly rate was $220. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were right on the water! The RV park was so nice, we didn't want to venture out into the city. Great people, nice park, amazing views! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is our second visit to this wonderful park which is located on a land projection between the river estuary and a marina. The spaces are all large and widely spaced and the park is extremely clean. Cable and free WiFi are available, and both seem to work well. There are also a good number of very good restaurants, and decent shopping is located close by. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
IF you don't need wifi, and if you don't need to use the rest rooms, this is a great, well-planned and beautiful park. We were here ten days, and could not get wifi 90% of the time. When we complained to the management, we were told everything was working fine. And it seems like every time we went to the rest room, there would be a sign up saying it was closed for cleaning. Seems like they believe the longer they leave up these signs, the cleaner the rest rooms will remain. But, still, a really nice park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Well maintained and equipped park. Easy access to all sites. Sites are long, wide, and reasonably level. Visual separation between sites is limited but since the sites are so large that is not an issue. Fire rings at all sites. Overall an excellent facility. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We couldn't have found a better park in the area. This is what all parks should be like. Gorgeous setting, listen to the surf as we go to sleep at night. Nice sites - if you have less than a 40 ft motorhome, go for the small interior sites and save money. DEFINITELY will return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful setting especially the ocean view sites. Nice sized level campsites. Restrooms and laundry were clean and modern. WIFI connection took some time to connect. Our rate was for a waterfront site during the winter season. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park recently changed its name to "Winchester Bay RV Resort". It's a delightful place - well landscaped, great views of either the ocean or the harbor. Close to some excellent eating - Fishpatrick's Crabby Cafe especially. ATVs are off-limits here, so it's generally quiet. WiFi is free, but erratic. Park is county owned and operated. We're here for three weeks, so rate reflects weekly rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Fantastic park -- spotlessly clean -- friendly staff -- well maintained grounds. Spaces wide, some deeper than others, and definitely big-rig friendly. Reservations were easy and we got a great site, probably by accident. Great views of marina and harbor mouth/ocean. Lots of rules and regs to protect everyone's interests. Free WiFi barely worked. They actually sanitize the sites between visitors. Lots of places to walk the dog. Not much to do in the small town, but a nice enough place to visit for a few days, and Reedsport is just minutes north for Safeway, etc. Would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is just a great Park! It's our second visit and we had to call on Jan. 2nd to get a reservation to arrive Aug. 21st and even that early we didn't get any of our first four choices of site. However, we liked what we ended up with plus the Park has upgraded services since last year - they now have free WiFi and I was able to get a fairly decent signal at least once daily. They ask for customer feedback and the only things I could think of were personal preferences: a) provide Propane gas service and b) provide a USA Today newspaper stand. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Really enjoyed this park, clean, efficient and a great view. The herring were running and the osprey provided entertainment on a daily basis. We stayed a week and I would definitely use this campground again in a heartbeat. Good outpost for exploring the Central Oregon coast We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful park with waterfront views. Good for "Big Rigs." Paved streets with grassy sites -very nice! Try it - you'll like it! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Best park on the coast. Hope we can always get into it as this secret has probably been found. I am guessing at what we paid, as not sure. So the price might be incorrect, but whatever we paid it was worth it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As I write this review, I am sitting here looking out the motorhome window at the lighthouse as the surf pounds. A fantastic view on a wide site, although I did have to drive the motorhome into a back in site on the water in order to get the view (and run all the hoses, connections, etc., under the coach.) (Why don't parks put in two sets of all connections so that both motorhomes and trailers can be served on the same site?) Anyway, it doesn't get any better than this. Fantastic views. Free wi-fi. Reasonable prices. Wide sites. Big rig friendly. Very courteous personnel. On and on and on. You will love this place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Absolutely the perfect RV park; paved level sites with landscaping, right on the water, views of the marina and pass, and immaculately maintained. Fell asleep to the sounds of waves crashing on the breakwall. RV parks with ATVs all around because of the dunes, but this park will not allow them in unless turned off and towed. No long term campers, just vacationers. My only "10" in the last two years! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Real nice place. Wi-fi still not up and only one modem working at the time we were there along with an internet HOG no consideration for others. He needed to use it the whole time while he did his laundry, most places suggest a time limit not here, oh well. Some people are just plain RUDE. As for the previous posts about the Landing vs. Griffs don't waste your time or money trying to find the Landing first of all--spend half the money and get some FRESH seafood thats cooked properly. The landing: I ordered fish grilled-one would think less greasy than fried-NOT-they put it on a flat-top and soaked it with oil maybe to moisten it, it was frozen fish. Just go to Griffs, take it from someone who worked the restaurant busines for thirty years. Nice clean campground just watch the sprinklers We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed at The Marina RV Resort many times and keep coming back. Will be back for a month in September 2005 for Salmon fishing and crabbing. Reservations a must during this time as folks reserve in February for sites at this time of year. As others have said, tis park is extremely clean and neat. Although the sand dunes are close by, no ATV's. dirt bikes or dune buggy's are allowed to be driven in the park. Must be towed in and out. Even though it does not have Wi-Fi, we have found that using the pay phones in the laundry rooms early in the morning or late at night has enabled us to be on-line as long as we desired. Contrary to previous posts, there are local dial-up numbers for most services. Only 50 cents for as long as you are connected. Number one recommendation for food is Kitty's Kitchen. Killer pies and cakes. She also serves lunch items. For dinner we like Fishpatrick's Crabby Cafe and the Bar-B-Que on weekends at The Sportsman Cannery. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This a first rate RV park operated by the county. Gorgeous views, excellent sites, and very clean. Easy ingress and egress and big rig friendly. While they don't have wi-fi currently, they do have plans to install it soon. For now, you must go to one of the two laundry room buildings for an 800 modem connection. An earlier post suggested you try nearby Grif's restaurant, but we do not agree. Our experience was not good. The food was okay but nothing to write home about and they did not honor credit cards. If you wanted to use a debit card, you had to get a cash advance and pay a fee, and then pay your bill. The REALLY good restaurant in town (nearby Reedsport) is The Landings--beautiful views, excellent food, and great atmosphere. We camped here in a Motorhome.
RV Resort developed by Douglas County. Concrete pads with room for toad and nice
landscaping. Each site has picnic table and fire pit There are Bay and Ocean view sites. Very clean and well kept. Heavy use in summer reservations are a must. Was there in October 2004. Tip - Across the Bay is an Oyster processing plant for Farm raised Oysters. Medium sized Oysters are $5.25 a dozen fresh out of the water. Also Griffs seafood good food. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A great park. It was spotless. Sites were good sized with lots of grass. County owned.
You had best make a reservation. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice well maintained campground. Campground is pretty new & large. Sites are close together with shrubs and grass in between. All paved roads and pads. No "instant" phone hookups available. Modem dataport is connected to pay phone so
you need an 800 number to dial out. Waterfront sites are on the bay not the ocean. Very busy in summer and I would suggest making reservations or you may not get in. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We like to get a way to the ocean and so we chose the Oregon coast, near the dunes and found the Marina RV Resort, it's a new park but one of the nicest we have stayed at and will stay again soon, no matter what site your in you either have a view of the town, fishing docks and the bay or to the west you have a view of bay as it goes into the ocean. With in walking distance of town, or a couple of miles to the dunes. This park was extremly clean and well groomed, the onsite host was very pleasant. The bath and laundry facilities are A #1. A park to stay at. We camped here in a Motorhome.
