Nestled in a quiet forest along the shores of picturesque Willapa Bay, Bay Center KOA is the perfect place to escape the everyday and embrace the beachside beauty of the tidal bay

Nestled in a quiet forest on picturesque Willapa Bay, this is the perfect place to leave daily life behind and enjoy the tidal bay. Our scenic trail leads straight to the beach for bird-watching, beach combing, and sunsets, with eagles, herons, and shorebirds frequenting the shoreline. You're a short drive from the Long Beach Peninsula, Cape Disappointment and North Head Lighthouses, and the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge's boardwalks and trails. Nearby Bay Center's working oyster farms, local seafood shacks, and coastal markets offer an authentic taste of the region. At the same time, calm bayside waters and tidal flats make low-tide exploring unforgettable.
