Waldport / Newport KOA

Location, location, location. I can’t complain one bit. Great friendly staff and overlooking the bay with a semi private beach to let the dogs run and play to their hearts desire. One of the few campgrounds with NO TRAINS!!!

I would give negative stars if i could. We made reservations for our trailer. They asked how long our trailer was and we told them 25 feet long. We arrived to a full campground and 1 spot left that our trailer would not fit in. No trailer would fit there. They immediately refunded all of our funds no questions asked which makes me believe they knew that spot is crap. The picnic table was also right by the sewer lines for the other trailers. How is that sanitary and legal?
The park is very small and cramped. You are packed in like sardines. I will never stay at KOA’s again. Our Labor Day camping trip is ruined and we have to go home. So angry with this outfit. Corporate will be hearing from me and I am canceling my membership.

I love it down in Waldport. I really like the location. It’s a really good spot for camping crabbing there’s even up the River kayaking available near this campsite. My family has a lot of fun down there. There’s a lot of things to do so the location is my favorite part. It’s really well-​maintained and clean… I really like the cabinets and the people that run it a super nice.

I learned a couple years ago that I can count on KOA for tidy cabins — so, despite wanting to go farther, I decided to give up fighting the pre-​sunset wind and pulled over on my motorcycle to check on availability. The first person to greet me was a very large ginger tomcat named Gary — my new BFF!
The rates were reasonable, the cabin was clean and there was even a TV! I didn’t experience much noise from the road as my cabin was set back a bit. The bathrooms are individual shower rooms — not at all cramped, and generally pretty clean for a campground.
The on-​site mini market had some excellent beers, snacks and souvenirs. Overall, I’d say this is probably the best overnight accommodation deal in this somewhat overpriced area and will happily return (with treats for Gary!).

Won’t be returning! Not the worst camping experience but defiantly not the best either! Impressed with the play structure, sand area for kids. But really disappointed in the staff! Older lady in the store needs to learn some customer service, or at least learn to smile when interacting with people. Younger staff was great, helpful and informative. To bad one staff member can ruin a whole camping trip!

Just got back from this KOA. Made a quick decision to go here in search of some coastal fun. What a great place, we had a site that backed up to the bay where we could see sea lions sunbathing daily. The staff here are all friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. We were greeted daily with a smile and «how’s your stay going, what are you up to today?» We were minutes from seal rock beach, 15 minutes from Newport, and 15 minutes from seal caves and lighthouses. I would definitely come back and plan to do so with the whole family. What a pleasure!

The location is right off the highway so it stays noisy throughout the night.
The bathrooms were gross, tightly cramped and dirty.
We rented one of their cabins which was the best part about our stay, it was clean and cozy and it even had a TV and a mini frige so we were hardly roughing it.

Apparently, I’m a camping snob. I’m from Oregon and like camping in the woods so camping at a KOA was definitely a new experience. If I were an inexperienced camper, I might enjoy the showers, washing machines, and lack of woods. KOA is nice for people traveling across the country and need a nice «campy» place to stay, but if you’re hoping for a real Oregon adventure, I’d suggest going all out and camping in the woods somewhere.

Pretty nice KOA, great view of the bay if you can get one of those spots. Very friendly staff, well maintained. Only thing I didn’t like is the Restrooms/​Showers, poorly designed with the toilets almost touching the door when it is open.

This is one of my new favorite KOA sites. Near 101 but not too noisy, well maintained, very friendly staff, very nice views and access to the beach. Thy have cabin camping for those who want it and clean showers. We will be back, no doubt about it.
