Oceanside RV Park
Overview
Oceanside RV Park offers a unique combination of small-town convenience and breathtaking natural beauty. Situated directly on the waterfront in Haines, Alaska, this park serves as a welcoming basecamp for those exploring the Inside Passage. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, focusing on the incredible views of the surrounding mountains and Lynn Canal. You will find that the park provides a sense of community among fellow travelers while keeping you close to the heart of the town.
Location & Surroundings
The park is located right on the shoreline of Portage Cove, providing campers with front-row seats to the dramatic tides and marine life of Southeast Alaska. Because it is positioned within the heart of Haines, you are just a short walk away from local eateries, museums, and historical sites. The surrounding snow-capped peaks and proximity to the deep waters of the Lynn Canal create a stunning backdrop that defines the authentic Alaskan coastal experience.
Amenities & Park Features
While the view is the primary draw, the park provides essential modern comforts to make your stay easy and comfortable. Each site features full hookups including water, sewer, and electricity options. Travelers often appreciate the clean laundry facilities and well-maintained private showers after a long journey on the road. Reliable wireless internet is also available throughout the park, ensuring you can stay connected and share your photos of the glacier-fed waters with family and friends.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
There is no shortage of activities within minutes of your campsite. You can explore the quirky exhibits at the Hammer Museum or learn about local wildlife at the American Bald Eagle Foundation. For those looking for outdoor adventure, the nearby Chilkoot River offers world-class fishing and bear-watching opportunities during the salmon run. Additionally, the historic Fort William H. Seward provides a fascinating glimpse into the region military past and early 20th-century architecture.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is perfect for sightseers and photographers who want to capture the essence of Alaska without sacrificing modern convenience. It is particularly ideal for travelers utilizing the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system, as the terminal is easily accessible from this location. If you prefer a walkable, downtown environment over a remote wilderness site, this park offers the perfect balance of accessible comfort and rugged, panoramic scenery.

We stayed here for 5 nights in our RV and loved it. Absolutely beautiful location, couldn't get enough of the views. Didn't have any F2F contact with owners but had a lovely welcome note at the office telling us our pitch number and other info. Facilities reflect daily fee, clean and well looked after, nice clubhouse with WiFi, sofas and laundry room. Small fee for the shower but not unreasonable, showers and toilets clean and well maintained. Would highly recommend

Can’t say enough good things! Booked an ocean view pitch with full hookup. Incredible views, facilities worked perfectly. The clubhouse was an added bonus with comfy sofas, warm, and WiFi included. Shower/toilet/laundry facilities were all immaculate and some of the most reasonably priced I’ve come across. Although it’s expensive to stay, I must say it felt worth the money.

Great location. Waterfront spots have spectacular view well worth the extra few dollars. Easy walk into downtown or along the waterfront. Very well kept campground. Everyone is very friendly. Big rig friendly. There is also a nice car wash that will fit big rigs as well. The spaces are close but big enough you can get your slides and awnings out no problem. The only con is it's a paved parking lot with lines and full hookups but it's still much better than most of the other dusty gravel waterfront RV parks we have stayed at in AK. IMHO unlike many RV parks the owners designed this one for RVer's. Easy to recommend staying here.

Right on the water and walking distance to town. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable and made good suggestions as to good places to go. Clubhouse is really nice with plenty of washers and dryers. There is a great car wash near door for cleaning your vehicle and/or rv. Ours was filthy from all the construction areas. Be sure to go to Chilkoot lake for fishing and bear watching!! Lulu, one of the brown bears has 4 cubs. Pretty rare!! We really enjoyed our stay! Nice paved lot with full hook ups!

I am not a big fan of RV parks but this park is newly renovated at ticks all the boxes for me. Excellent view, water/electric/sewer hookups, walking distance to town, clean showers, and an excellent laundromat where all the machines actually work! Well done!
