Not What We Were Expecting

We followed our RV GPS right to the campground(CG). Up front, last January, we won 6 free nights at a Thousand Trails resort at an RV Life event at the Tampa RV Show. As we were wintering on the Oregon coast, we decided to try out the Seaside Resort based on the reviews. Our expectations were not met. We needed to come in a day early, making our total stay here 7 days, so our nighty rate was based on the charge for the extra night. We received an email giving us the gate code and telling us to proceed into the park, choose a site, get set up, and then go check in. We went to the north side where the 50 AMP hookups are located, and used the provided gate code to enter. It was raining the day we arrived, and we noticed a lot of the sites had standing water. We saw that site 158 was not flooded out, so we chose this FHU site. As we were setting up, one of the CG workers came by politely asking us where our truck tag was. We told him we had followed the email instructions to choose a site and get set up, then we would go over to the south side ranger station and check-in. He then asked us how we got through the gate, and we told him the gate code was in the email. He seemed surprised. After we set up, we went over to the check-in booth/ranger station and received our welcome and information package; they were not aware of the new email procedures. The water pressure was around 60 psi, so we used a reducer. The gravel site was not level, and we had to use blocks. The sites were very close together. We got 3 bars on Verizon and had a clear shot north for Starlink. We do not like to be negative, but the north side looked like a refugee camp. We are mainly talking about the center area, not the cul-de-sacs where the cabins and surrounding loops were located. Referring to the refugee comment, some of the rigs were very old/poor shape, and/or the long-term members didn't take care of their rigs or their campsite. While we were there, an old Cougar trailer came in with a screwdriver holding the entry door closed and a red condemned sticker on the other side. On the positive side, the indoor pool is nice, and there’s a good-sized dog area on the north side. There’s a gate at the entrance, and the water makes a natural fence around the area where you can let the dogs off-leash. The south side also has a smaller but nice fenced dog area. There’s a clean laundry room located on the south side that has 6 machines each and uses a kiosk to pay. The cost per wash and dry was$2 each. The workers and residents were very nice. Their shower facilities were updated and clean. This is a beautiful property, and Seaside could be a top-rated CG with north-side site upgrades, TLC, and tough love to move permanent residents on or make them clean up their sites.

Good Location

For me the best thing about this campground is the location. It's really close to everything at Seaside which is awesome.

The campground itself is clean and quiet considering how busy it is. There's a lot a fun activities, a place for dogs, and lovely scenery. I generally like a little more space between sites but this is expected with the type of campground.

Nicest bathrooms yet!

We are enjoying a free year of Thousand Trails membership and this was another last min stay, it was packed! But it’s the middle of summer, and we were able to find a spot in overflow same day. They called us personally, and were fantastic. Great amenities, and the CLEANEST bathroom I’ve seen yet this week camping.

Seaside RV Park

This is a split park 30 amp on one side 50 amp on the other. Right close to town and shopping, restaurants etc. the park was nice and well kept. The laundry was decent. Lots of sights to see around there. Astoria is a short drive away with many scenic spots.

Mostly Average

Gated entry. Make sure to bring your RV insurance info or expect a lecture from the front desk before they let you in (they actually are very nice). First Thousand Trails I have tried. It’s basically a big parking lot with hookups. No privacy between sites. Everything looks a bit raggedy. The WiFi cost’s extra and didn’t work for most of my devices (as in disconnect or wouldn’t connect). Decent T-mobile signal. Enough to work with the booster. Didn’t try the pool or any of the amenities so can’t comment on them other than they also look a bit raggedy. This would be a place I come out of the sheer convenience of being only a little over an hour away and it’s location near Astoria and Cannon Beach. Seaside blows unless you like lots of not well trained kids and whiskey tangos everywhere. All in all it’s average and convenient.

Very close to ammenaties

The campground is split up into two sides. The north side and the south side. The north side has the getaway cabins, and cottages. It also has the pool/hot tub, cafe, group fire pit, kids play ground, and overflow parking. Pickleball/tennis courts. The north side is also the only side that has 50A power. The south side is all 30A. The tent sites are also on the north side. It gives access to all the amenities here. They took out the propane site, cause they didn’t have anyone to take care of it. We come down here to get away from the heat, inland, area. It’s usually 20-30 degrees cooler, than inland. So when the heat hits the valley, everyone runs to the coastline. So it can get crowded. You have to be careful with your kids. People don’t drive the speed limit. It’s 5mph. They drive like they are in the raceway. The Clatsop county beaches, have the best razor clam digging, in Oregon. On every minus tide, in the winter and spring, you have some of the best razor clams, this far south of Alaska. Usually from he first of October, to July 15th, all minus tides will expose the clam beds enough to walk out and get a delicious meal. Plus the Columbia River estuary is just 10 miles away. Which is the place of the world class Buoy #10 Salmon fishery, every August - October. Both Large Chinook Salmon, and the feisty smaller, Coho (silver) salmon. You also have fresh crabbing available in town, and behind the old high school, or drop a few pots while out salmon fishing, for a great fresh seafood meal.

Camping in a field with nice people

This park is kinda ugly. There is a minor nature vibe here, but feels more like stadium camping. Not a lot of privacy, lots of neighbor noise.

However, the folks running it are incredibly lovely and helpful. We were always greeted with warmth and kindness.

Careful where you park your truck, saw the ranger cussing out a neighbor for parking at an angle.

Nice RV Park to relax in and travel the Oregon Coast

I've enjoyed all my visits to this Park. It is close to the town of Seaside and it's beaches, museums, shops, restaurants and attractions.

Astoria and the Columbia River provide Lewis and Clark historical sites and Tillamook is a definite go to see facility. Portland is only an hour or so away via a scenic drive that has a natural water spring available to load up your water jugs.

The park has all the normal facilities and amenities. It is separated by a road creating one side with wooded sites and the other side a more barren environment. Clubhouse on one side, laundry on the other side. A nice place to park the RV while exploring the area.

Don’t waste a good trip

Worst maintained RV park we have ever been to. Our spot was filled with dog poop from the full timer that was beside us. My dogs couldn’t even walk on the grass it was so dead or sharp crabgrass and filled with thistles. (How do you have brown grass on the Oregon coast, it literally never stops raining). The only reason this park gets one let alone 2 stars is the staff was very nice, and helpful.

Do not waste your time with this place, go down the street to any of the other spots.

Thousand Trails Seaside Is Worth The Stay

This was an interesting Thousand Trails. We stay three nights from October 11th through 14th, 2019, at campsite 151, the stay was free due to our Thousand Trails membership. Our site had sewer, electricity, and water hook up. The sewer connection at the campsite was a nice plus. The site was level and easy to back in to.

The sites were the closest we've been to at a Thousand Trails, with no trees for privacy. What made the Seaside interesting was there wasn't much noise even though the sites were close to each other. The campground was at sea level and just outside of downtown Seaside. Our 28 ft travel trailer easily fit into our spot. Once we entering the campground, the campground roads are all gravel.

The weather in October was high overcast in the low 60's, the nights low 40s. This is a very quiet campground, activities we found at the campground to keep busy was a very nice indoor pool, indoor sauna, indoor spa and exercise room with treadmills. The campground has clean free showers, plenty of hot water and not more than a 5 minute walk from our campsite.

My wife and I enjoyed the campground, we took a trip north to Fort Stevens for the day, geocached and hiked around the fort. Seaside was a fun town, its grown a lot since my first visit there 20 years ago.

Minutes from the ocean

This campground has tent and RV sites plus cabins.

We stayed in a cabin. The cabins are tasteful, spacious and clean and come equipped with kitchen supplies, microwave and coffee maker. What really makes these cabins stand out is that they come with bathrooms, no having to walk to the community bathrooms!!

This campground is unique in that it has an indoor pool and hot tub so swimming is possible in bad weather.

The campground is located within walking distance to an outlet mall but you may want to drive to the free public parking closer to the beach.

Great family fun!

This spot is was amazing with the family. The RV spots are a tad close to each other with not much landscaping but that’s to be expected with coastal campgrounds mostly. There was a lot of the kids to do, too. We all thought it was fun.

The playground was really rusted over and the pool was dirty.

Having children, the playground and pool are a huge deal when you’re camping at an RV resort. Well, the playground was rusted over and had pieces that were missing to it, the swings were broken as well. The pool was dirty and I was not able to get a hold of staff for assistance the whole time I was there. The hooks ups were fine, but this place really needs some sprucing up.
