Andersen's Oceanside RV Park & Cottages

This was our first stay in Long Beach so we were quite surprised to see that almost everything in the area is behind the dunes with little ocean view. This park advertises two ocean view sites which is misleading. You only have dune views. No one can see the ocean without walking across the dunes. We stayed in a standard site just two from the ocean view site and could hear the ocean waves all night long. The sites are very well maintained with perfect wooden borders and designations but VERY close! Luckily, the owners placed unit every other one so we didn't have neighbors except for two nights on our last weekend. All sites are FHU, level, and gravel. We liked being able to walk to the beach whenever we wanted. The park was extremely quiet even when crowded. The three wooded sites closer to the road are a little larger but shaded. Park WiFi was fair. They tell you on their information sheet that you can stream on it so that slows way down. We did have excellent Verizon with a tower across the street. Each site has a picnic table and fireplaces can be rented. They do have a large room for rallies or parties.

Clean, quiet RV resort with helpful camp hosts. Great Verizon cell service, but the WiFi is a bit slow.

Close quarters camping, but with all the amenities, clean and very close to the beach. Staff was friendly and accommodating. A couple up-charges for our 5-yo son and to rent a fire ring. Beyond that it was a great experience. Good play area for the kids and a short walk to the beach.

We stayed at Andersen’s RV Park in our class A motorhome. Although it's a simple, typical gravel parking lot-style park with only a small laundry room and bathrooms, the stay was wonderful. The sites are very level and the gravel is nicely compacted. They’re just north of Long Beach (WA) in the grassy dunes above the beach and the drive to town is maybe 3-5 minutes. The owners were very welcoming. The park was completely full at times, and the sites are close together; but we never felt cramped or encroached upon. Their Internet was slow much of the time, but we have our own (Verizon) and were okay. Most of the other RV parks in the area are well off the beach, but it was just a short walk for us from our RV site. There's no view of the beach, but it's just right there over the dunes. Our fellow RVers would gather their chairs and drinks and head out each night to watch the sunset. The vibe there was great and we seriously contemplated extending our stay for another week.

Tight spots, over priced, nothing separating you from your neighbor who is way too close. Manager would not let us use our propane fire pit. No fires, unless you “rent” their fire rings and buy their firewood. Manager was not a nice a guy about it either. Bathrooms were a disaster, WiFi which you pay for, was non-existent...and the list goes on. There are many better places on the coast.

Nice camping park. Close to the beach. Sell propane. Very accommodating hosts.

Close quarters but it didn’t bother us as other campers were quiet. You are right off the beach with lovely views of the dunes out the back and people/dog watching out the front. This area is truly dog heaven, dogs can be off leash on the beach, also you can build yourself a nice bonfire on the beach. Showers were clean, hot water plentiful. Small laundry room helped dry towels etc. this is our second stay and I hope to go back to the 28 mile beach, and Anderson’s, again soon!

Really close sites. They allowed for open spaces between campers whenever possible. We could hear the ocean at night and you’re close to it, with about a quarter to a third of a mile walk to get there, depending on where you’re parked. It’s nice enough, just really, really, really tight.

Most of what others have said is true.

In driving around Long Beach and looking at the competition it appears this setup is pretty typical. You are pretty close (an awning width distance). I have been fortunate in either not having a neighbor on both sides or they do not have slide-outs. Around the country I have had worse and paid more for it. For me, I don't mind the separation between the sites.

I do see a lot of people with their own propane fire pits, so maybe policy changed since the prior reviews said it was not allowed.

It is great to be just north of the busy downtown. Beach access for a vehicle is less than 5 min in either direction. Of course you can always simply walk to the beach from the rv park on their private trail (as other mention).

The rate seems the average for Long Beach. I did see a few places for less, but either they are full or you don't find as many positive reviews. It has been very quiet during my stay. The staff have been very kind and efficient. I would choose to stay here again when staying in Long Beach. I appreciate the online reservation system. Verizon and tmobile have been great. I do not need to use my external antennas and still get 50+ download speed on my Verizon jetpack.

I had planned on staying here for a long weekend in November to do some razor clamming. Less than a week prior to the trip I found out that razor clamming would remain closed due to toxins and that there was a storm moving in with 60+ mile per hour winds and potential coastal flooding. I was aware that they had a zero refund policy for the entire reservation (not the single day charge that most places have), so I wanted to just switch my reservation to another week when the weather wasn't quite so extreme. I tried contacting them through their phone number several times and no one picked up, nor responded to my messages. I also emailed them (which was the suggestion on the phone message and the confirmation email), and also got no response.

I was prepared to reschedule rather than losing my reservation fee, but it seems that their business model is to ignore customers and keep their entire reservation. I have nothing to say about the quality of the park, since I never got to stay there, but I would not recommend entirely on their lack of customer service and excessive cancellation policy.
