Oceanside RV Park - Haines, Alaska

Eric Frey

Beautiful views and outstanding facilities in downtown Haines

We stayed 2 nights. The park is right on the water, which is surrounded by beautiful mountains. It is walking distance to anything in the town. The facilities were outstanding. The sites are wide and paved. The bathrooms were clean and modern. The showers ($2 for 6 min) are spacious, the hardware easy to operate, the water warm and shower steam is good. There is an inside clubhouse that would be great if the weather is bad. The service was also very good. We came back one day and our site was occupied by a camper who got their mistakenly a day early. We called and the resolved quickly and magnanimously. The only downside is that it is farther from the two State parks. So, if you want to see those you will need to drive. On the other hand, if you stay near those and want things in town you will need to drive. We would definitely stay again.

My stay started as one day, which turned into two then three days. I would've happily stayed a week if my schedule allowed. The location of the park is perfect for enjoying the waterfront views and walking to the local attractions around town.

I typically prefer a more natural, secluded tent site when I'm camping. Oceanside has a small grassy area for tents to share on one side of the RV park. This ended up being great because it's directly on the water with a spectacular view. It also encouraged a social atmosphere at the park, so I got to hang out with a lot of interesting people. The whole park seems to have been designed to foster a community feeling. This is not surprising as the couple who runs it is nice and friendly.

The club house is a definite perk of this RV park. It's a beautiful building with wifi and plenty of room to sit. The bathrooms and laundry are in the club house. Both spaces are well-kept.

My only recommendation would be to add a dish sink to the club house. Washing dishes at the faucet in the camping area is not ideal.

Every visit here is just perfect! Jim and Shelby’s warmth and attentiveness make all the difference—they’re such wonderful hosts. The tenting area boasts beautiful views, and the clubhouse is cozy and spotless!

For tent camping there is absolutely no value. The tents area is too small, too windy. There is no shelter to cook in the rain or wind (they do not allow cooking in the club).
Toilet are not cleaned every day. Showers cost 2$ for 6 minutes ?
The club is not a nice place to hang as it’s full of screaming kids.

I’d go to Tlingit Park. It is free, not windy and you get more privacy. The toilets cleaner and always has paper. There is a shade to cook and eat in the rain. For showers you can go to the public pool for 3$ without time limit.

It's all about the location and this RV Park has the best views and close proximity to town.

We splurged and got an ocean view site which included full hookups. Check in was easy. You can walk to town for restaurants, groceries, museums and stores. The best part was sitting outside in the evening, even when the wind was blowing crazy cold, and taking in the stunning views. Kids took the trail to the beach at low tide to play. Bonus - Great building with bathrooms, laundry and really nice couches for a place to get out of the weather or to work from.

Be warned, ocean front real estate is prime for RV parks and as such, they try to accommodate as many RVs as possible. Spaces were plenty wide for units with double slides, but you can definitely hear your neighbors conversation. If this isn't you, maybe try elsewhere, but we took it as an opportunity to be social and get some great tips of places to visit in Alaska.

Paved lot with lots of room. Sites on ocean side give great view, other side not so much. Nice lobby with wifi, washrooms, showers, laundry. Only disappointments and they are minor, is they closed the lobby etc at 7:00 am for cleaning -bad timing and I wish their wifi would reach the sites so you didnt have to keep walking to the lobby everytime you needed to send something. Overall very nice.

Best in Haines without question. Showers excellent. Reasonably priced. You're simply in a line , but for such prime real estate, it's roomy enough.

This RV park is special. Located in Haines, Alaska a quaint fishing town with actual on the ocean spots (not in the water teehee) for your RV.
