grayland beach state park

Great expansive beach! The sand is so soft and flat. Be sure to bring your kites as it's a great beach for kite flying. The beach can be sunny one minute and watch the fog roll in, and completely fogged in within minutes. Interesting to watch. Wind can be a little cool, so bring a jacket. Camping is great here too, at the state park campground.

We went trailer camping here three weeks ago. This is the ideal park to just relax, slow down and be with yourself and your family. So peaceful! Of course, January is not the busiest month for camping in Washington State but, still, the park was almost full and we can barely hear our neighbors. We had the weather in our favor and we could do the fire at night, took wonderful pictures and enjoy the surroundings. Grayland Beach is and enormous wide sandy beach (rare here in WA), where you can go clamming if you have the corresponding license. During the summer, this beach must be very popular since we saw several little modest hotels in the area, specially several ones advertised for surfers. The towns around do not really offer much to see or do; this a destination for laying down to rest, easy walking and being in the great presence of the sea! Highly recommended!

The wife and I spend are visit at Grayland State Park over the Halloween weekend. This park is very spacious and very beautiful. The bathrooms are clean but lack soap which I find very interesting in today's push for cleanliness. The walk to the beach was easy. I still prefer Oregon State Parks over Washington State Parks because Oregon gives you soap and doesn't charge you for hot water.

We love this park- the spots are spacious, and the walk to the beach is not bad. Beautiful beach to explore! Bathrooms in the older part of the park are pretty dated, but hey, you're camping!It's just a quick drive into Westport and not too far back to Aberdeen if you forgot something major!Great park!

Grayland has power/water hook ups for R/Vs at most if not all the sites. Most sites are relatively private and decent sized. Some sites are just a short easy walk to the beach. We really enjoy this park.

Overall, a very nice RV park and better beach. The rating depends very much on the site you stay at. We stayed in site 31 which was somewhat overgrown with trees and shrubs that very much limited the amount of sunlight that gets through resulting in a constantly damp and muddy site. The overgrown trees offered great privacy but made it difficult to position your rig in just right to get your slides out. It took a bit of maneuvering but we managed with one side sitting partially on the grass. There are other much more open sites and had we stayed in one of those then the rating would have been 5/5. The washrooms are older, dated, but relatively clean for a state park. The beach is the thing we will definitely come back for (at a different site). We had full power, water, and sewer. The sites closer to the water and beach do not have sewer.

Able to drive on the beach, find shells, watch surf. No drift wood. Not heavily visited. The local restaurant has excellent food and service.

This was our first trip to Grayland Beach State Park. We wanted to check it out after hearing about it from friends. Overall we were really pleased. The park is clean and well maintained and the beach is close and easy to access. We booked late and selected spot 17 which included full sewer and power hook up for our travel trailer. This section of the park is more wooded with lush trees and grass and offers slightly more privacy. This was an easy walk for my family including my small dog and 6 year old children. We spent the afternoon on the beach flying kites and playing. If we were to go back again next year I would like to try one of the beach spots like 108, 104, 84, or 85. Although these spots don't have sewer hook up, they are close to bathrooms and coin op showers. The spots are not as woodsy but still have some trees and space between the spots. They seem a bit dryer with nice gravel and paved spots under the RV. The closest town is Westport which doesn't have a lot so you'll want to be sure to write your packing list and check it twice to be sure you have everything. With that said, the town did have a laundry mat and a small mini mart that was a huge lifesaver as my son came down with the stomach flu and we had to scramble and do some wash and get extra juice and provisions to keep him comfortable for the 24 hrs.

This was I think our fifth annual trip to Grayland Beach State Park, joining some close friends in Y63 and Y62. The yurts work out great - a little less to pack and put together (no tents), some extra heat at night (electric heater), and an easy way to stay out of the rain (we got a some in mid-August - how about that?). These yurts are close to a bathroom, close to the beach, and are at the end of a cul-de-sac which the kids endlessly ride their bikes and scooters around. The beach, as usual, was huge and mostly deserted, although after all these years I'm still getting used to the cars and trucks driving along the beach. We spent our few days right there, enjoying the beach with a lot of digging in the sand, some kite flying, reading in the beach chair, and one quick and very cold dip in the ocean. The only time we left the campground was for one night out - dinner at the Mexican restaurant in Westport. Overall, while the weather didn't always cooperate, it was a fun long weekend and a nice break from the regular business of life.

My family and I have been camping at Grayland Beach State Park for years now, and we love it. We're from the Olympia and Tacoma areas, so it's not much of a drive, but it feels so removed from society. We always stay in sites 110 and 111, which are the walk-in sites. I highly recommend them for people who enjoy tent camping. They use the term, "walk-in" pretty loosely. It's less than 100 feet from your car to the campsite. The walk-in sites are so beautiful, and half the price of the typical tent sites. There's a very clean, and rarely stinky vault toilet right next to the sites, which is really convenient. The ocean beach access is another short walk away and is so expansive and beautiful it takes your breath away. We enjoy watching the sunset, star gazing, playing in the sand and my favorite; parking my butt on the beach and reading all afternoon. The weather can be a bit irritating to someone who isn't from this area. Most summer mornings are accompanied by a light drizzle and what we affectionately refer to as the, marine layer. Sometimes the rain sticks around all day and other days the clouds burn off to reveal clear sunny skies and warm temperatures. Grayland is a family favorite for us, and I can't wait to go back.

A beautiful state park. Our first time in a Yurt. Loved that is was spacious and tidy. The public washrooms and shower were well maintained. Simple but kept clean. Never saw a ranger, but it didn't feel like there was anything to worry about. Lots of families around enjoying the ocean area. We stayed in #61 which was close to the facilities and about 300 yards to the beach. This meant sleeping to the lull of ocean waves. So amazing.

Out of the way a bit and good probably for Surfers. It is a great camping beach but that was not what we do.

This is just a gorgeous campground. Clean, quiet and beautiful. This is our absolute favorite campground and we stay here every year. Never used the restrooms as our RV bathroom is better. The sites by the ocean are the best.

We just spent 3 days camping at Grayland's State Park. It is our favorite to take our RV. If you are tent camping I would say they need more bathrooms. Nice place to ride your bike or take a walk. Campgrounds were one of the quietest we have ever stayed. If you are looking for a lot of action you have to drive into Westport for most restaurants.

We started camping at Grayland Beach State Park in 2006 and have not missed a year since! We stay for at least a week at a time and never tire of the parks serene beauty and how quiet it is. The sites right next to beach are the best for wonderful sunsets and hearing the ocean's gentle roar. Unfortunately these sites only have water and electrical hook-ups - no sewer. The other sites away from the beach are full hook-ups plus mostly shaded. Every site has a campfire pit. Watch out for the mosquitos - bring your citronella candles! Sites are roomy and fairly private. The park rangers and staff are always kind plus they have campground hosts that you can purchase firewood from.Westport is about a 15 minute drive to the north and Tokeland is about the same to the south. There is beach access either through the walking trails at the campground or you can use the main road to drive out onto the beach. Make sure you have 4 wheel drive - we have seen MANY people get stuck!We recommend this park to everyone we know - absolutely love it!
