Pacific Beach Resort and Conference Center

Stayed here for a few days to explore the North Beach area of Washington. Great location for doing that. Price was outstanding. Staff was friendly, supporting and helpful. Stayed on top of things. They are also linked to the hotel. Nice gift shop attached. This place is pretty remote. By design. Be sure you have the groceries and supplies you need. Our stay spanned a weekend and it seemed apparent this is a really nice place for a weekend gathering and camping outing. Filled up all weekend, and then open spots during the week. There is beach access via a side gate and short walk down to the beach. Some wonderful views of the ocean from above, but the vegetation has pretty much blocked any views from campsites. There is a very nice elevated viewing pavilion to watch for whales if you are there at the right time. There was a burn ban while we were there so no campfires. We had a nice spot along the fence. These are probably the tightest spots. but we were in a good deal of shade. We were initially in Site 10 but had electric issues. The voltage dropped to 105 volts any time there was a load. Staff was very helpful and supportive and moved us immediately to site 9. Had a similar problem there but not quite as bad. Good WiFi, we used it for e-mail and surfing. Water pressure was good but no sewer connections. There is a honey wagon if you really need to dump your tanks. Roads are a little tight, but very doable. Just a couple miles south is the new planned community of Seabrook. There is a Fresh Foods grocery store there, and a couple restaurants. Ocean Shores is about 35 minutes away. We also visited the Pacific Beach S.P. Campground. For sure the Navy camp is much better. No OAR TV, and we did not put up a sat dish, though others did have them. If we are in the area again, we would stay again.

Arrived early and was told that we couldn’t check in until 1300. We called the previous day and were assured that we could check in early. That’s fine, but our site was empty and it would have easier to pull into our site rather than sit in the street. The receptionist was definitely the rudest campground staff I’ve encountered. During our stay, the check in hours were suddenly changed to 1700 for health and safety reasons. Not sure what that was supposed to accomplish, especially when they close at 1800. We’d stay again but please, someone deal with the staff.

We stayed here with our grandson in Mar and Sep 2021 and loved it. Any military campground on the coast with a great view of the ocean would charge $35 a night compared to the $18 charged here. The wind can be a bit much like most of the WA and OR coast but it was not too bad for most of our stay.

We have stayed many times in the RV park with our camping friends. This year because our RV's were winterized we decided to rent a cottage and try that out. We rented a lower waterfront cottage. Boy were we surprised! This cottage was a huge 4 bedroom and 2 bath unit. It was very clean and warm feeling. We had a direct view of the ocean from the living room and covered patio area. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to cook meals in the cottage. As we did, you need to bring all of your food if you plan on cooking your own meals. There are no grocery stores in Pacific beach. We enjoyed our stay in this cottage, and didn't want to leave. When we checked out we asked about open dates in the future. We were told to reserve them well in advance because they book up fast.

My second time here. Plenty of room between sites. RV pads are asphalt, somewhat level. Bathrooms are very clean. At $18 a night can’t beat the price. Cleaning stations for razor clams or fish. Good breakfast at the cafe. Their clam chowder is excellent. Not much to do or see in the area. A great place for relaxing.

We only stayed for a couple nights, but greatly enjoyed our visit. We got lucky, as they were having a Customer Appreciation offer when we arrived. We got 50% off our RV site. $12.50 a night was a very good price, even if the RV sites don't have a sewer connection. There is a dump station or you can pay for "honey wagon" service. We were here at the beginning of the "peak season", but the campground and RV sites were almost empty. This was the fastest WiFi we've had at a military campground. There's 2 washers and 2 dryers, each for $1.50. They are currently remodeling the restaurant and hot tub area. While here, we took a day trip to the Olympic National Park and the town of Forks. Beautiful rain forests and we liked the free "Twilight" (vampire movie) museum in Forks, WA. We enjoyed our visit at Pacific Beach and would return when in the area.

We booked a room at the Pacific Beach resort and told not only the reservation people, but the resort that we were bring two little dogs. When we arrived, the desk clerk told us that it was their policy that pets only are allowed in the cabins, but they would make an exception since we were told (by 2 people) the wrong information. The room they gave us was a second floor room with the view of the roof of the snack bar. It included their roof top AC and fans and noise. The room was terrible. The carpets were filthy, stained and disgusting. We immediately decided to only spend the night and reluctantly the staff agreed to refund our second night. The beds were terrible, the showers were gross. All in all a very disappointing trip. The worst military hotel we have EVER stayed at. The building is old, the view is non existent and they cabins, are little houses that look like military housing. No character, no class. Don't bother, spend the money and get a nice hotel room on the coast.

First and foremost, on about 1 Oct the main power to the RV campground went out, as it's not considered "critical" repairs may not be competed until early in 2015. As a result they have (basically) cut the cost in half. There is no power in the RV camp, no power in the bathrooms or laundry, and no hot water in either. They are taking advantage of the outage to repair the damaged RV power-poles. The staff can be "lazy", we had planned to use inside facility in the evening, only someone on staff decided no-one was using it, so they locked everything up two hours early. Somehow one of our parties reservations got canceled, not a big issue as everyone has their own IDs and the campground is very empty. FYI, real security, per an agreement with the Greys Harbor Sheriff, is via 911. Unlike campgrounds on "active" bases, this facility has no active duty, anything. The facility exists only as an MWR facility (and an automated station).

They really need a camp host at this RV park; people playing music at 2300 hrs. and making noise, dogs constantly barking, and all they have to offer is a telephone number you can call in case of emergency. No one on duty and no security or police patrols at night, and the resort is wide open, no gate check point or ID check to enter the resort. Anyone can come onto the resort grounds or into the RV park. The guy next to me was a veteran who invited a bunch of people, 5-cars at his campsite and a lot of drunk and noisy people. This is my 2nd time at this facility but I won’t come back here again. The other thing is there is no sewer hookup but there us a dump station.

This place is great. Staff were helpful and knowledgeable. We only used the laundry and it was good. The sites are of ok size but the vegetation along the outside of fence blocks the view. Short walk or you can drive to the beach. Beach is dog friendly. Wish could have stayed longer and will look forward to returning.

Price is now $20 for a RV site. Very slow in getting us checked in. Gave wrong directions to theater. Bath house is a disgrace--ended up using the shower by the hot tub. There is no longer a sauna. On a more positive side, great movies and the hot tub was fantastic. Verizon reception is great and there is now wifi in the campground that was flawless. Be sure to stock up with groceries before coming. If it wasn't for the couple of staff issues and the bath house, this would have been a 5 across the board.

I'm glad to see recent reviews are stating that the facility is getting some repairs. We have been going there for 20 years and it has been sad to watch it run down with little or no money being spent on large areas. Last fall the "covered walkways" between building where closed due to the roofs falling. The bathhouse in the campground is so badly in need of repair it is almost unusable. Last fall about 6 of the spots were unusable due to damage to the power-drop. If you want a quiet weekend on the beach, go here, kite-flying, go here. Want a night-life, go someplace else.

GOOD: Had nice ocean views from some of the RV sites (if you have a rear window, or long enough cords/hoses to pull in forward.) The cottages looked nice. There are hotel rooms available, but we didn't check them out. There is beach access from the north end of the campground (it's a bit of a hill, as the campground sits on a bluff). Movie theater showed 4 movies/day. The area is flat, so bicycling around the campground would be easy. Cardio Room had stair steppers/treadmill/bicycles. There is a laundry room. Showers (4) are off the bathroom. You are issued a key card for the bathroom, but you don't need it as the door does not lock. There's a hot tub and sauna (but I didn't check it out.) Restaurant, bar, gift shop, public computers all near the registration area. BAD: Low voltage issues in Space #35. Using the toaster took the 110 down to 101. Using the microwave when a small heater was running would set off the alarm on the voltage monitor. Some of the power pedestals elsewhere in the campground were "safetied out" and they were in the process of replacing them. However, it did not appear they were upgrading the wire. Overall, the resort is aging and could use some TLC, but it was a pleasant location and a good value. We would return.

We really enjoyed our stay here this week. It is a quiet, clean and beautiful campground. The ocean air and natural beauty of western Washington make this a great place to come and relax for a week or two. On Wed a technician installed a WiFi antenna on a telephone pole in the campground extending the free WiFi in the hotel to the entire campground. It works great!!! A couple of minor negatives would be number of sites taped off with bad electrical boxes and ATT phones do not get very good reception. We will camp here again. Do follow the directions above to Ocean Beach Road and not turn onto WA109 towards Ocean Beach like I did. WA109 will get you here but it has a couple really tight hairpin turns that are not fun with a 40' rig and toad.

J.P. left this review using the Directory software: - Spent the 4th of July week here with my sister brother in law. I had reserved two spaces, Sis got in first and we had side by side spaces. No trees to interfere with the sat TV signal, my ATT aircard had problems, the amount of visitors over the 4th overwhelmed the network. Going to the beach and back up the hill is a good workout, I didn't drive down as ALL parking is on the beach, and I'm not interested in the salt residue on the 2012 Super Duty. The Dining Room is great, a good selection and prepared well. Lots of items in the Gift Shop. We'll return.
