Nice State Park in Grayland, WA on the Pacific Ocean just south of Westport and Aberdeen. Star formation campground with full hookup. We were in site 17 which is somewhat overgrown compared to the other loops. Easy access to the beach by foot / car. Vehicles / fires allowed on the beach, 4 wheel drive only, the sand is pretty easy to get stuck in near the ramps even 4 low. This peninsula doesn’t have that much to offer in terms of restaurants, shopping - but it does have fishing charters and the derby board looked really good this year with a lot of fish. Ocean Shores and Longbeach have more to offer in this regard. The 4 stars is because there is no place to wait if you come early and we had to drive to Westport and hang out for two hours. So try not to show up to exactly your check-in time. Usually most of the state parks have some kind of day use parking. It would be nice if the state did something for this park because it’s busy and drive times from the region can vary greatly. Also the wood was entirely too expensive $7 for 4-5 pieces … better to get it right next door - 20 pieces $10.00. It makes no sense to haul wood here. There is plenty local cheap. I‘m not to excited to come back but enjoyed my time here.

Grayland Beach SP is a very popular camping spot. We snagged one spot in a pod near the beach. The sites are generous size. It's about a two-block walk to the enormous beach. You also can drive there just outside the park. Staff were great. A nice little store. Book early!

Beautiful, soft sand beach off the beaten path. Close to ocean shores but far enough that it’s not as disturbed. Tons of unbroken sand dollars, we camped one night and had the beach to ourselves basically. Look up and you can see the Milky Way and so many stars ✨

I mean, it's the beach! That in itself is enough. However, I do love that you can drive on the beach and this day we were able to drive south almost all the way to Tokeland! It was a beautiful day with the sun shining and the waves glistening as they gently crashed to the shore. Perfect day to relax, unwind and forget your cares while you walk along the beach with the one you love. Bliss.

car/tent question... is it possible to park overnight (pay the $10 for overflow parking) and use a primitive camp spot (hike and bike) and pay the $12 as well?

Robert | May 25, 2021
Grayland Beach State Park (Owner) | May 26, 2021

ch If you purchase the PRIMATIVE spot you can also purchase an extra vehicle pass for $10 per night. There is a limited number of extra vehicle parking sites. It is best to make a reservation for Grayland Beach State Park because of the popularity of the campground. Our sister park Twin Harbors is located 5 miles to the north of Grayland Beach. Twin Harbors has hiker/biker sites. The sites at Twin Harbors are strictly for people who walk or bike into the park. No motor vehicles are allowed for anyone staying in the HIKER/BIKER sites.

Can you drive and park on the beach?

Christine Cowles | May 26, 2019
Grayland Beach State Park (Owner) | May 27, 2019

Thank you for asking. Yes driving and parking is allowed on the beach. It is considered a state highway so all Washington driving laws apply. Speed limit is 25 mph. The approaches are in pretty good shape right now with pretty much compacted sand, but conditions change daily. As Tom mentioned stay in the driving lanes and out of the soft sand near the dunes and away from the surf/clam beds and you should be fine. If you don't have all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive you might want to consider bringing a shovel. Local towing is a min of $300.
