Whaler’s Rest Resort, South Beach, Oregon

 

Whaler’s Rest Resort is a Thousand Trails/NACO park and we are here under RPI for a couple weeks. The location is great, just south of Newport and ¼ mile from the beach. At night we can hear the waves and it’s an easy walk to the beach everyday. The campground is pretty nice – all sites have 50-amp, full hook-ups, although non-Thousand Trail members cannot stay at the north side with more open sites (and thus better cell phone coverage). There are a couple club houses, some activities (mostly revolving around food), a decent store that rents movies for $1, and the staff if very friendly. The location is very good for exploring the surrounding area, as we plan to do in the time we’ll be here.
