Almost on the water. Host are very friendly & involved.
*edit 11/2021. Owner hides behind the camp host. She will nickle and dime you. Wifi is terrible! With hours everyday with no service! We camped for 3 years right in front of a run down manufactured home she uses for family. The place is over run with RATS!!! They became a problem for us. Costing us over $400 in damage & she never addressed the issue. In the winter she licks the back bathrooms!!! Leaving only 1 available for the whole park. If you want to park in a parking lot instead of camp this is the place!

Sure, maybe on the high side for just a tent, but the showers were excellent, charged all my devices and got on their wifi, great location for walking around the harbor and village of Winchester Bay, and no highway noise. Jackie is a wonderful host/owner - she located a picnic table for me, then did minor safety repair on it. If you're tenting, this is a great stop-over. I rate 4 stars only because, well, it's an RV park and I'm a tenter!

It was so remarkable and huge. Who would of thunk it could be so grand. I enjoyed it so much. Need a fishing and shellfish license. So many places to try it out. Many restaurants and even an ice cream establishment. Not sure how many are open, thanks to the virus that bites. I encourage anyone driving 101 to hang a left...you will be delighted, I am confident of that!
