Cape Kiwanda RV Park

We stayed one night at Hart's Camp (Oct 4th). It is located across from the Pelican Brewery which is great. Other than that, the park is the worst that we stayed in on our trip. Small spaces, crowded, not clean, poor restroom facilities, difficult electrical hookup, and priced the highest of any place we stayed. I would advise avoiding this park if possible.

This review is based on previous stays and current dealings with the Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace. We have stayed at Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace for several years during the same week each year. We always overlooked the subpar facilities and high prices because we were attending a special event - and because of the location close to the beach. We had reservations and a confirmation for this year again for 5 consecutive nights during a special event for us. I had heard rumors of a huge price increase from other people, but had not heard from the RV Resort yet. I called them and asked about the supposed price increase. I talked to one person who at first said they would honor the price given to me in the confirmation. Then I heard voices in the background and she corrected herself to say that there would be a price increase from the quoted and confirmed $70 equal to $115 a night on our reservation. That would be $45 a night or a total of $225 more for our 5 night stay! She offered to let me speak with the manager, who confirmed the price increase. The manager would not budge on the price increase even though I pointed out the reviews on this page and that Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace had offered to honor the price to other users and this left us no time to make other replacement plans, so needless to say, we cancelled our reservation and will not be going back. I have never heard of an RV park charging $115 (plus tax?) for a night, let alone for subpar facilities and service (Pavement in disrepair with potholes and loose gravel all over, poor customer service, closed swimming pool, overflowing garbage cans, closed restaurant). In my opinion, the only thing Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace has going for it is the beautiful Oregon Coast near it. The manager told me they reserved the right to raise the price - I could understand a reasonable rate increase, but not 64%. Be wary of making reservations for this place, they don't honor them. Enjoy the beach because you probably will find lots to complain about the facilities and service at this RV park.

I have had my reservations for months for spring break next week. I just received a email that our rate has increased an additional 112 dollars for four nights. How can you change your rates once you book. Now they will not answer their phone. Imagine that. I am canceling and will never stay again. Plus, as of last week their pool still didn’t have a heater and they closed the pizza shop next door. This place is not worth 75 a night to park my trailer. The new owners are going to ruin this place. Guess we will have our memories of what once was a go to for spring break.

We were very pleased to stay in such a well kept camp ground. We had a 5th wheel. Laundry room was very clean and the grounds were maintained very well. The ocean is just across the street and you had easy access to it. We had a pull though sight but the back in sights were nice by the playground too. The convenience of having the small store on sight was also handy! I would stay here again when in the area.

We enjoyed our stay. The RV campground was clean and convenient. The beach/ocean was right across the street which was very convenient. We enjoyed having the Pelican pub and a coffee shop to walk to as well. We will definitely be back.

Great experience. Great staff and real nice park. Would love to come during summer but they book really fast for those months. Spots are big and clean with a nice little fire pit that’s going when you really want it.
