Campground Reviews

Nov 04, 2023
Perfect campground to get away from the city. Camp hosts were very accommodating for an RV issue. Nice trail to beach with steep stairs, be careful. We were able to walk into the town of Bay Center, nothing there but a nice walk along bay. Goose Point park had a trail to the beautiful, peaceful beach with lots of birds to watch. Went in off season, so very quiet all around.

Great stay (as always).

The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the place was clean. They had fun activities on the weekend for kids and adults. And a great spot on the cliff to sit and watch the sunset over the water! Steps are a bit steep getting down to the beach though, just something to keep in mind. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

Stayed in cabin, nice surprise, but confused over charge for linens. Must have missed the info on it.

This was a wonderful Tucktaway camp site. Well worth a visit. Great little walk to the beach and spacious sites. The bathroom needs a little help, it always had water on the floor… Some thing was leaking that needs to be fixed! Customer service was very friendly. Just high priced for a overnight stay.

Had a great stay, everyone was friendly, the staff checked on us every day; I like that. I like the on-line check in. Need to have better Wi-Fi, with today technology it's not that hard or expensive. The more guests you have the worse it gets. Need more band width.

Only one night, our site was very muddy and dirty from tree droppings. Campground was almost empty and other sites were in better shape. The office/store was closed. All contact was mostly via text. Not what we expected for a HOLIDAY?????? level KOA. Camp host did walk around a couple of times. Also very little to do, advertized the Astoria Long Beach area.

Sorry that your stay was not to your liking. During this time of the year we work on limited hours. The trees around the park provide a more natural camping experience and many guests enjoy this. If you informed us that you were not happy with your site we would have been more than happy to move you

Quiet, staff and camp host were friendly and helpful, clean and really nice place. Only problem was wifi kept dropping out I don't know if it was our equipment or the wifi

Sites are great. Lots to do and the beach is lovely. My son loved the store for snacks, toys and ice cream.
Oct 16, 2023
Staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the ice cream social and the text messages to keep us informed of events.

The site was nice, clean and quiet. We had a wonderful stay. Thanks

Good time as always. Would like to see the yellow ribbons off the trees in the back wooded area.

We had a wonderful time! ! It was our first stay . The staff was great and so accommodating! My grandkids had a blast playing in the bay. They utilized all the amenities. The South Bay KOA had a “ summer Camp” feel and was very family oriented. We will be back!

This is our second visit and it was Fantastic! The Bay was beautiful, the campground well kept. The host was awesome. The escort to her site he was pretty cool too! The neighbors were wonderful, offered to share their clams with us. It was quiet for the most part. Hearing the children play was very sweet as well. The trail down to the bay is incredibly steep, so take caution.

Very nice campground. We had a site in the back close to the beach. The steps to the beach are a bit steep, but worth it. Everyone working at the park was very friendly and helpful.

I like my cabin, because it was on the side, surrounded by trees, and very private. The other cabins were not private, but nice day was very nice.
Oct 10, 2023
We had such a great time. Absolutely loved the movie in the yard and the kids really enjoyed the jump mat. The path to the beach was fun and easy. We will be staying there again. Only thing I wish all sites had the nice swing but that’s not a deal breaker. Can’t wait to go again

Great staff. Great, secluded location. Quiet, beautiful. Away from everything. Even though it rained most of our stay and we were in a tent, we still enjoyed ourselves. Lots of fun things to do on the premise like gagaball, cornhole, blow up jumping pad, small playground and small concrete pad with a basket ball hoop. They made pizza for sale onsite. And had ice cream and root beer floats.

Always a calm and inviting stay. Staff was very nice and the whole venue is beautiful. This is our third stay and we plan to be back again.

Small rustic campground. Showers were fine, nothing special. Laundry room needed a lot of attention. We really enjoyed the path through the woods on to the beach. It was here we discovered searching for sea glass. Now we are hooked!

Loved this place. A hidden gem.

Stephen was vey helpful with our needs!

We were greeted by what appeared to be an aged and somewhat rundown facility. We shelved opinions until we had settled in. By looks of the office and store area things appeared to be a normal KOA. The negatives were many; rundown facilities, under staffed, and absentee owners planning bulldozer the forest to add versus upgrading existing, Unbelievable the awards displayed; KOA standards question!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We have been a KOA for over 30 years. We still have the original A-frame building that was standard years ago. Our staff works very hard to make everyones experience the best possible. After labor day, many staff move to winter locations, like must campgrounds. We work hard & are proud of our awards

This is a cute little campground on the Willapa Bay. Not too far from South Bend but far enough to feel like you’re out in the woods. There’s a nice trail that leads down to the bay for great clamming and beautiful sunsets. Plenty to do for kids and to just relax. Nice store and great management. I highly recommend this place.

It’s very quiet and clean camp ground! The staff are very friendly and helpful! Easy to walking down to the beach, it’s a very nice place to relax.

Friendly front desk staff. Our last visit was two years ago. The deluxe unit had linens, towels, and more kitchenware. I was very disappointed that they were not available this year. I was also very disappointed that there are fewer activities for kids compared to two years ago. And the standard unit definitely needs a refresh.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We offer activies from Memorial Day through Labor Day. This has always been the case. Due to the rise of labor costs linens are available for rent. The kitchenware we provide for that cabin meets the needs of that cabin.

Nice stay, clean site. Bay Center’s KOA no longer has the familiar friendly/social feel (activities, fundraisers, community bake sales, chowder cooking contests, etc). We’ve been coming for over 10yrs, several times each year and notice a significant change. It’s no longer our “go to” campground; there’s plans to build more sites in the back which will lose the cozy feel of a small cam

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sorry that the experience has changed. We do provide activities, Memorial Day through Labor Day. We would love to host the communtiy bake sales but the group that did this is no longer doing it. The sites we plan on adding are only a few, to address the demand we have of needing more sites.

4 night stay. Small family oriented campground with access to the bay. Warmly greeted by campground hosts. Our original site didn’t have sewer hookup and as luck would have it a new site just became available and we were able to get full hookups. They even ran cable tv to our trailer. And the most amazing part was all the deer every night around 5. There were 7 of them maybe 100 feet away!

Vraiment bien organisé. Beaux sites et très tranquille. Bel emplacement pour voir les couchers de soleil.

Really liked staying here in motorhome. This koa is rustic and more rugged than most. We had a roomy site under the mature trees. Dennis was really nice. The ice cream for the social would highly suggest! Very good. Sorry I missed the wine and beer tasting! I bought two single beers from frig and were good. The park and restrooms were clean but the restrooms need a bit of updating. I’ll be back!

My response is based on a singular aspect of my stay, discussed with the manager, and concerns what I consider to be an immediate danger that has failed to gain management attention, that of a trail leading from the main camp through the woods to a steep point going down to the beach below, where the railing is broken and children could easily fall over the edge a great distance below.

Thank you for sharing this with us. We are aware that our stairs are steep. We are working with the county and other agencies to find a better solution that works for everyone.

We had a wonderful experience at the Bay Center/Willapa Bay KOA. The staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful. It is nice that they send out daily texts with helpful information. The store is very well stocked with items both for camping and as souvenirs. They have a great playground for children and several different activities, jumping pad and panning for gems. We will return. Thank you
Sep 11, 2023
Very peaceful stay. The scenery is beyond compare at this location. Easy walk to the beach for clamming or relaxing and enjoying the views. Dennis was super helpful guiding us into our site. He even trimmed some of the trees so we could fit our 44' fifth wheel into the spot without any trees scraping the rig!

This was our 2 time staying at this location. We returned because of the beach and the cute gnomes all around, sadly we learned it was under in management and all the gnomes are gone. Also the beautiful forest surrounding the camp will be cut down to expand.
Sep 09, 2023
Very nice park. Site was clean, staff was friendly. All in all is was a very enjoyable stay. We will be back.

We stayed in one of your rustic cabins, a nice version of camping out. Staff was friendly and helpful. The setting is beautiful. It's a bit far to eating establishments if not planning on cooking. This probably will be our last "camping out". Beds are a bit firm for old bones and treks to the bathroom in the middle of the night a bit of a challenge but sure beats picking a tent!

As a full time rv family, we had the pleasure of staying a week here on our journey up the coast. Fantastic area, staff, amenities && views! Flat and level ground, multiple sewer hook ups, jump pad for kids, playground, laundry facilities, and access to the beach/ water. This park is taken care of so well & it shows! We are a KOA member and have stayed at a few locations && this one ranks high in our favorites!

Wonderful campground full of children's activities with their own clamming beach. The yurts were very comfortable and the staff went above and beyond like always. Bikes and jump pad for the kids, movies under the stars, glitter tattoos, and a fully stocked store.

Beautiful places and beautiful people! If you want to know why this place has won awards, you must visit. The thoughtful and friendly KOA staff will make your memories even more beautiful. We came here for a relaxing break during Memorial Day weekend. However, we thought our trip was ruined because the people next to us were too noisy. But as if they understood our feelings, the KOA staff took care of us thoughtfully. Thanks to the KOA staff, our uncomfortable memory turned into a very pleasant one. This place is truly beautiful. You can take walks by the sea, and the campsites are well-maintained and private. There are also various programs prepared, so children won't get bored. I was impressed by the dedication of the staff to consider the needs of travelers, as preparing such programs isn't easy. A place we want to visit again. A place where you can feel at ease. A place where you can have a pleasant time. A place where you can create beautiful memories. If you're looking for such a place, I highly recommend Bay Center KOA. P.S Thank you for the firewood.
