Whalers Rest RV and Camping Resort

    Whaler’s Rest is located just south of Newport, Oregon, just about the middle of the Oregon Coast.  It too is a Thousand Trails Campground, so here is their description:

Year-Round RV Campground on the Oregon Coast

    Grab your bathing suits, towels, and flip flops! Whalers Rest RV Camping offers a pristine beach location just 150 yards from the Pacific Ocean. Open year-round, this RV campground on the Oregon coast offers beach goers activities including salt-water swimming, scuba diving, surfing, whale watching and fishing all within minutes of Whalers Rest RV Camping. On those not-so-sunny days, our indoor pool and spa are fabulous alternatives. Billiards, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, and mini golf are other popular activities at Whalers Rest RV & Camping Resort.

     I have to agree; Whaler’s Rest is a nice campground with lots of things to see and do nearby.  The campground is very well kept and the staff is great.  Although there is access to the beach, you must cross US 101 to get there.  The beach is beautiful and with Lost Creek Wayside being the only way that I saw down onto that section, so there were few people.  That worked great for dogs who love nothing better to chase each other around the beach.

    The campground has an adult lodge, a family lodge with an indoor pool and hot tub, a miniature golf course, a small disc golf course, shuffle board, laundromat, and tennis courts.  There is also a fenced dog walk area and a playground.  Our camp site was secluded, but not all were.  Whaler’s Rest felt more like a campground than just an RV park.  Overall, we liked the park and will return in the future.  I recommend finding a tourist info center and find out what’s nearby.  We did, but on our last day there, so we need to return someday.
