We stayed here after ferrying the inside passage with our Airstream on the AMHS Kennicott. What a great place to stay. Full hook ups meant we could charge our batteries and do laundry. Their facility is spotless. Oh, not to mention the views. Nick is an awesome host, too. Very reasonably priced, new condition and walking distance to town.

We stayed in a tent! The site was very quiet, pretty and clean! The clubhouse is a great perk for the property also! We used the laundry facilities, showers and sink. The views are amazing! The staff is very friendly and welcoming! We would highly recommend this campground!⛺️

Drove two days to Haines and spent 3 nights here recently to attend a special event at Eldred Rock Lighthouse. I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness and layout of this RV park. The second thing I noticed was that the park manager (I believe "Nick" was his name?) was constantly busy keeping the park clean and well maintained..no slacker, that fellow 💪! The view speaks for itself, stunning! The park is easy walking distance from nearly everything I needed to visit. The large carwash was spotless and worked well to clean off a 2 day layer of Alaska road grime (which became an easy target for the local sea birds at the ferry parking lot! 😂 I wouldn't hesitate recommending this 5 ⭐️ park to friends and family!

Oceanside is the dream RV site in Haines! Parked right up along the coast, perfect for spotting eagles and wildlife. The washrooms are clean, showers affordable and laundry machines are not ancient. Available WiFi in a cosy clubhouse, Nick is a lovely, helpful and welcoming host. Highly recommend and worth every penny!

Nick is AMAZING! He was there for whatever we needed and so helpful and friendly. The view is over the top great and we loved our stay. Worth every penny to get the Oceanside row. The clubhouse is beautiful, fully stocked and clean.
