Pacific Beach
Overview
Pacific Beach State Park offers a classic Washington coast experience on 10 acres of prime oceanfront property. It is characterized by its wide, sandy shoreline and unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. Unlike inland wooded sites, this park places travelers directly on the edge of the dunes, making it a favorite for those who prioritize direct beach access and coastal sunsets over forest canopy. It provides a refreshing, salt-air environment that defines the Pacific Northwest camping experience.
Location & Surroundings
Located on the northern coast of Grays Harbor County, the park sits within the small, welcoming town of Pacific Beach. The surrounding landscape is defined by its rugged coastline and massive expanses of hard-packed sand that allow for vehicle access in specific zones nearby. To the south, the whimsical town of Seabrook offers a contrast with its manicured streets, while the park's immediate area remains tranquil and rustic, reflecting the traditional spirit of the Olympic Peninsula’s lower reaches.
Amenities & Park Features
The park provides a mix of standard sites and utility hookup sites suited for RVers. Most sites offer electricity and water, though there are no sewer connections at individual pedestals; however, a convenient dump station is located on-site. The campground is relatively open, which allows for ocean breezes to flow through the sites. Essential facilities include heated restrooms and coin-operated showers, ensuring comfort after a day spent exploring the salty shoreline.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is the beach itself, which is perfect for kite flying and long walks along the surf. During the right season, visitors flock here for razor clam digging, a popular local pastime that brings the community together. Just a short walk or bike ride away is the town of Seabrook, featuring boutique shops and cafes. For a longer excursion, the Olympic National Forest is within driving distance, offering a gateway to the moss-covered wonders of the Quinault Rain Forest.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for travelers who want to fall asleep to the rhythmic sound of crashing waves. It is best suited for independent RVers who enjoy a minimalist, natural setting rather than a commercial resort with swimming pools. It is a prime destination for families looking to build sandcastles or couples seeking a romantic coastal retreat. Those traveling with mid-sized rigs will find the layout particularly accommodating for an authentic seaside stay.

Great views and beach walks. Restrooms and showers are another story. One stall (total of 2 open in the entire campground) was covered in feces during our entire 5 day stay .... so no cleaning of restrooms obviously. Constant flow of vagrants/homeless using the 2 showers. Again, no cleaning in the 5 days we were there.

One of the best places along yhe washington coast to camp in an RV. It's close to the beach with views from campsite. Sites Have 50 amp service. Water and sewer dump are available by exit. I would not recommend for tent camping unless you don't mind camping next to big RV's.

Older small campground, sites close together. Facilities adequate. Utility sites are electric only. There is a dump station. Beach is part of a river delta so water is out quite a ways. Nice walk though.

OMG! LOVE this spot. It's literally just a parking lot, but the real treat is just over a small hill... most of the camp sites but up against the beach and offer amazing ocean views. Pacific Beach is a pretty small town with very little light pollution... I woke up in the middle of the night and the stars were absolutely incredible, you could see the milky way!

From my campsite I could sit and watch the ocean or walk to the beach in about one minute. Beautiful views and sunsets. Portable gas/propane firepits are allowed; wood fires can only be out on the beach. I didn't find the campsite to have much privacy. Some of the bathrooms are closed due to vandalism. The beach was not at all crowded; you can walk for miles, fly kites, and star gaze at night.
