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 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.

It had been at least 6 years since visiting PAC Beach and used to come all of the time. One of my favorite locations. But this time was a bit of a disappointment although we still had a very good relaxing time. One of the issues is the town itself, like most of the businesses on the coast seem like a ghost town with very little to offer especially in grocery needs and the like. The resort to me seemed run down from the past. The RV park was full and is the best deal around, love it. But the Windjammer restaurant needs some dire help. The food was ok, but the staff seemed like they didn't want to be there. The Windjammer back in the day was hopping at night with Karaoke and music. The Sunday buffet was wonderful. This time it had the basics, very little fruit, no milk for the kids, it was a bust from years past. What happened? Change in management? Or funds? Since it is a MWR facility I think it should have a small minimart exchange for guests to replenish needs for lengthy stays. Just a thought. I will always be back because of the RV park and proximity. The place really needs some upgrading though all the way around especially the Windjammer.

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).

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.

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.

The RV Park is excellent. Grass was mowed, sites well situated. Bathrooms were clean, laundry room clean, two washers, two dryers, both working. $2.25/each. TV cable required a box, available at no charge but reception was still terrible. Dining room being renovated, bar extremely quiet. Wonderful beach, very flat, clean, can walk for miles. We enjoyed our visit and hope to return.

We enjoyed our stay at Pacific Beach on 30A, water, and no sewer @$25@night. The facilities are showing their age. And the grass was about 10" tall. We did not realize that a Razor Clam dig was scheduled for the minus tide during our scheduled stay, so the park filled up rather quickly as it is apparently a popular pastime. At daylight every morning the park sprung to life as all the diggers departed to collect their daily 15 clam limit. You can even rent clam digging equipment from the registration office. They even have a fish/clam cleaning station near the restrooms/showers building. The site maintenance is poor with no one checking nor cleaning the sites in between visits.

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.

The park is right next to the Pacific, with access to the beach. The beautiful Olympia National Forest and National Park is just down the road. Clean, spacious and friendly. This is a wonderful campground. On the other hand, it is a resort, not a military base, so the facilities are what you would find at a very nice motel. One more note: if you are reading this and haven't signed up as a member of militarycampgrounds.us, think about the excellent value this service provides. It's worth hundreds to RV travelers.

We enjoyed staying at the Pacific Beach Resort. The entry into and out of the RV park was easy, even with our 40' 5th wheel. The 30 amp service/water/cable worked great and the sites were spacious. The only draw back was there was no sewer connections, however they do provide a sewer dump station which worked out fine. The kids had fun at the 4 lane bowing alley, $2.50 per game which included shoes and they watched several movies at the small theater inside the main building. The small gift shop carried all the essential and non-essential items, which included a small expresso bar. The staff was friendly and professional and we would certainly come back again!

C.H. left this review using the Directory software: We ended up staying two weeks here since we enjoyed the beach, the facilities and exploring the general area. We loved the free movies at night and the Fitness Center was a notch above the rest. And who can resist a huge hot tub? If you are looking for a relaxing get away at the beach, this cannot be beat.

We have been here for Thanksgiving 2015 & 2016. What brings us back is the location on the bluff overlooking the pacific. It is a bluff and the winds do blow at the coast and you can have a night of gusts of 50mph or more, really shakes the RV. Sites have power & water; no sewer, just a dump station; Wi-Fi was good; rest rooms & showers have been redone but the exhaust fan negates the heat that come on together. We used the showers in the main facility along with the hot tub. A short drive to the beaches and you can drive the beach to the next town. Friendly staff, nice bar, food is good (they have a cook, not a chef). Lots of folks, like us, come for Thanksgiving buffet dinner.

This is a great out of the way place to chill out. The facilities are clean and staff friendly with the rv sites on the cliff from the ocean shore. A well organized campground with good spaces between sites. The restaurant and lounge area were very quiet but food was good. The beach is amazing and relaxing.

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.

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.

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.

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.
