About Bay Center / Willapa Bay KOA Holiday

Situated in a quiet, natural forest setting on picturesque Willapa Bay, this is just the place to leave your daily life behind - and enjoy the tidal bay! A scenic nature trail leads from the campground right to the beach, where you'll enjoy bird-watching and beachcombing. Swim in the tidal bay, rake for delicious steamer clams (license required) and work up an appetite for the area's famous Willapa Bay oysters. You're close to lighthouses and the Pacific. Take a ride on this KOA's three-wheel banana-peel bikes - they're a blast! Play a game of volleyball, basketball, badminton or horseshoes. Enjoy ice cream socials and family activities every weekend (Memorial Day through Labor Day). Then finish your perfect day with a beautiful sunset over the bay. Max pull thru: 70 feet. Your hosts: Iris and Ken Shupe.

Westhaven State Park offers the easiest access to beach parking and is the best beginner beach to try surfing for the first time. If you want to surf, Westport Surf Shop offers cheap rentals and the owner, Al, is quite the character who is very...

Explore Cape Dissapointment's North Head Lighthouse

From the North Head parking lot located at the end of N Head Lighthouse Rd, make your way to the lighthouse by following the lighthouse signs at the parking lot. There's a path to the right that you can take that will take you to a view point (the walk to this viewpoint is short and easy). The path to the left will take you on longer hikes to more locations in Cape Disappointment.What's great...

Camp at Cape Disappointment

Ilwaco, Washington

Don't let the name fool you, this over 1,700 acre state park offers plenty for the outdoor enthusiast. The cape was named by explorer John Meares after a failed attempt to enter the Columbia River. Lucky for you, maps have been upgraded and the river mouth and cape are no long as challenging to come across. If you're lucky enough to choose whichever campsite you want, look for either 104 or 105...
