Get Your RV and Camping Gear Ready for the Season
Camping season is right around the corner, and Spring Shakedown Weekend at Bay Center Willapa Bay KOA Holiday (May 14–17) is the perfect time to get everything ready before summer adventures begin.
Whether you’re a new camper or a seasoned RVer, this special weekend is designed to help you test your gear, check your systems, and work out the little kinks before the busy camping season arrives.
A “shakedown” trip is a short camping trip used to test your equipment before longer trips later in the season. It’s a chance to make sure everything works the way it should—from RV hookups to cooking gear.
Instead of discovering a problem during your big summer trip, you can fix it early and enjoy a stress-free camping season.
Shakedown Weekend is a great opportunity to check:
• RV electrical hookups and power systems
• Fresh water connections and water heaters
• Black and gray tank systems
• Trailer leveling and stabilizers
• Camping gear, cooking equipment, and packing lists
It’s also a great time for first-time RV owners to get comfortable with their setup.
To help campers kick off the season, we’re offering special early-season rates during Shakedown Weekend:
• RV & Tent Sites – $25 per night
• Rustic Cabins – $35 per night
• Deluxe Cabins – $50 per night
As a bonus, guests who stay during Shakedown Weekend will receive a special discount toward a future stay later in the camping season.
Even while you’re checking your gear, there’s plenty to enjoy around Bay Center KOA.
Guests can explore the beautiful Willapa Bay area with activities like:
• Bird watching and wildlife viewing
• Beachcombing along the bay
• Steamer clamming on our private clamming grounds (with a Washington fishing license)
• Spotting bald eagles and black-tailed deer around the campground
The peaceful coastal setting makes it a great place to relax while preparing for the upcoming camping season.
Spring Shakedown Weekend is one of the best ways to start the camping season. You’ll gain confidence in your setup, discover anything that needs adjusting, and enjoy a relaxing weekend on the Washington coast.
Reserve your site at Bay Center Willapa Bay KOA Holiday for May 14–17 and kick off your camping season the right way.
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
