Twin Harbors
Overview
Twin Harbors State Park offers a classic coastal experience on the rugged Washington shoreline. Spanning over 170 acres, this park is known for its beach access and forested campsites that provide a natural buffer from the ocean winds. It serves as a primary gateway for travelers wanting to explore the Cranberry Coast while enjoying a balance of shaded woods and salty sea air in a relaxed, public park setting.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just two miles south of the town of Westport, the park sits between the Pacific Ocean and the Elk River Estuary. The landscape is characterized by shrub-covered dunes and dense stands of shore pines that create a secluded atmosphere. Its position on the coast makes it a prime spot for witnessing the dramatic tides and weather patterns unique to the Pacific Northwest’s Grays Harbor County region.
Amenities & Park Features
The park provides various camping options, including several partial hookup sites equipped with electricity and water. While many sites are designed for standard vehicle lengths, there are accommodations for larger rigs up to 35 feet. On-site facilities include clean restrooms and showers, a dump station, and designated picnic areas. Each site typically features a fire ring and table, encouraging traditional outdoor living under a canopy of trees.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Visitors often flock to the shore for razor clamming during designated seasons or to explore the nearby Grays Harbor Lighthouse, the tallest in the state. The Westport Marina is a short drive away, offering charter fishing trips and fresh seafood markets. For those who enjoy walking, the paved trails connecting to Westport Light State Park provide stunning views of the ocean and local wildlife along the dunes.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for nature lovers and families who prefer a more rustic, state-park atmosphere over a high-end commercial resort. It is a fantastic choice for coastal adventurers looking for a basecamp to explore the fishing culture of Westport. Because of the wooded setting and beach proximity, it suits those who value natural beauty and the sound of crashing waves over extensive digital amenities.

It's a beautiful park and nice campground. Visited over Labor day. The short walk out to the beach from the West side campground is special as you traverse the tall-grass covered dune and emerge with sweeping views of the Pacific and miles of sand. Interpretive trail is ok for a short walk in the forest as well. The campground itself is decent for tent camping. Would definitely try to get a site on the west loop so you don't need to cross the highway to get to the beach (there is a lighted crosswalk). Sites are close together and near the bathrooms you'll have the lights on all night. Loud campers late into the night and not sure who to call, but eventually things quieted down. We had great hot showers for 2 of 3 nights and then the last night it was lukewarm. Facility cleanliness met expectations. Bugs weren't horrible - certainly not the clouds of mosquitoes referenced in previous reviews, but imagine there's some seasonality.

Great place for those not quite into driving on the beach! Bathroom facilities, picnic tables, adequate parking. There are several trails into the dunes to the north. My dogs get as much out of them as they do the beach!

It's close to a sandy beach, and that's about all I can say that positive about it. The camping tent spaces are the smallest I've ever seen. It's barely big enough for a 4 person tent. The campsite is split up strangely. It's on two separate roads and GPS doesn't know that. The gal with pink hair who runs the check in area wasn't the friendliest. I felt like a bother to her when we traveled across the state, checked in and were surprised that there was a fire ban. All the food we brought needed to be cooked, and that's on us. But we weren't expecting it and she acted like we were stupid, so now I feel stupid lol. We made the best of it, and I'm very glad we went either way. The ocean is beautiful when it's raining like this.

The drive was so beautiful and making our way to the beach was even more beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a more enjoyable beach in my life, you can’t see the end of the beach on both sides- it is so huge it looks like it goes on forever. Also, not many people were there which made it more intimate and nice. We met a super sweet, beautiful couple Mike & Linda who offered to take our fam picture. Wonderful people from WA. We walked and ran around the beach, letting our feet touch the sand. A wonderful experience and I can’t wait to go back there someday. Washington is so beautiful. I never thought it would captivate my heart the way it did.

Ample parking, super nice restrooms, and an easy walk out to the ocean. What more could you ask for in a park? As an added bonus, we even got to see a little of the area wildlife.
