Whalers Rest RV Campground is a year-round RV park on the Oregon Coast. Beach-goers will revel in the location of this campground just 150 yards from the Pacific Ocean. Beachcombing, salt-water swimming, scuba diving, surfing, whale watching and fishing are all within minutes of the facility and are popular activities for visitors of the RV campground. On rainy days in the Oregon Coast, visitors can enjoy the on-site indoor swimming pool and spa or visit the local Oregon Coast Aquarium. Land lovers take heart! Perhaps you'd enjoy playing pool, tennis, horseshoes, or playing a round of golf at a local course, trying your luck at the Chinook Winds Casino or visiting the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum. Whalers Rest is an RV campground that truly has it all!
At Whalers Rest RV Campground our staff is committed to making your stay as stress-free as possible. Just ask, and a member of our friendly team will be glad to assist you in getting around our beautiful RV campground in the Oregon Coast.
The beach was nice and an easy walk. But you have to cross 101 without getting run over. The rv site was clean and wooded. We had full hookups but found a leak in our motorcoach so we had no water. No fault of facility. But aforded me opportunity to check out facilities. Bathrooms were very clean and looked newly remodeled. Showers were nice and warm. The entire bathroom was heated. There is an indoor pool but i didnt use it. The downside was their internet was out for entire stay and there was no cell service for verizon. We also dont have starlink. We usually will uber but since we had no cell service/internet we couldnt do that. We dont tow a vehicle for short weekend trips when a city is close by. But who would have thought 6 miles out of Newport there would be no cell service on hwy 101. Crazy. But it was a relaxing weekend of lots of reading and beach walks. Not to mention there is plenty of outdoor things to do like disk golf, huge checker board, volleyball court, mini golf, bball, and list goes on. I would probably not stay here again unless our other favorite rv resort nearby is full.

We loved the Cottage / Cabin and our neighbors were great. Most of the staff were pleasant and friendly and quite fantastic but there is one staff member who works the front booth and was always on her phone with her air pod in her ear and always difficult to speak to and frankly just kind of rude so stars on service lose two stars. But other than that we loved this whole place! Great beach access and very pretty camp site.

Absolutely ZERO accountability.
I made a reservation online and put in my FIL name and reservation number, asking that they be paired so we could be nearby.
Called, confirmed they saw the request.
FIL calls and confirms the request just a few days before as well.
Day of arrival, put us on opposite ends of the site. Told the ranger that my request was not being met, said no idea what I was talking about. And his manager said he’s not allowed to move anyone.
Asked if I could speak with the manager to see about getting moved. Told me he’ll let her know but I’m not getting moved. Next day asked when I’ll be contacted, said he left a message.
Saturday I check again, still nothing. With it being the weekend I figure they’re just gonna wait me out. Never heard from them.
Besides that the broken down facilities (men’s restroom) poorly cleaned up site (found all sorts of trash in our site) and the wasp nest that must be nearby, and apathy from the staff, can’t recommend this place enough.

CabinPass is a Joke!! Only 3 Cabins are available for the pass and always booked. They put the pass holders at the last place in line to get time here.
If you are paying for the rooms they are available but not for the Pass.
The CabinPass has pet friendly and they are absolutely Gross. Didn't take a pet but it was the only one we could ever book.
Beyond dirty and Dog Hair everywhere!!
Save your money on the CabinPass and stay in Newport VS this place.
Paid for the Pass for over 2 years before finally having enough.
They kept charging me after I Canceled as well.
Had to call them for 4 months to finally get them to quit charging my CC. Even though they told me every time it was taken care of.
I hope this helps you from making the mistake I made about this place.
