Thousand Trails Pacific City Details

Thousand Trails Pacific City RV and Camping Resort is located at 30000 Sandlake Rd, Cloverdale, OR 97112. 

This sprawling RV and camping resort has 305 RV sites, as well as cottages and cabins available to rent throughout the park. 

Not all RV sites are full-hookup, but there are dump stations on-site. This RV resort is situated right across the street from the Pacific Ocean. There is a lower camping area that sits in a gorgeous old-growth coastal forest with towering trees, moss, ferns, and more. The upper portion of campsites is on top of a hill, and a few sites have a view of the ocean. 

Thousand Trails Pacific City is arguably one of the most beautiful Thousand Trails resorts out there. 

Cons of Pacific City Resort

There aren’t many cons of Pacific City RV Resort, but there are a couple that could make or break your stay. Here’s what to know about this campground:

No Cell Service

This is another one of the Thousand Trails Campgrounds that have shoddy to no cell service at all. Depending on your carrier, you may be able to get a bit of service at the very top of the campground and use a cell booster to boost the signal… but always have a back-up plan. 

There are only a handful of sites at the very top of the hill, and service isn’t guaranteed up there. 

The office has wifi if you need to get work done, or you can always head into the coffee shop in Cape Kiwanda for coffee, wifi, and whale watching!

Skinny Roads

This RV Resort is built on a multi-level acreage and the roads are very tiny in some spots. It is possible to maneuver a big rig through this resort, but it can be stressful! Not only are the roads skinny, but they’re also very curvy and steep in some areas. 

Not All Full Hook-Up Sites

Another con to this RV resort is the fact that not all sites are full hook-up. All sites have electricity and water, but only about 50 sites have sewer. There are dump stations on-site, but since this RV park can be difficult to maneuver in, dump day isn’t a fun day. Wait… is dump day ever a fun day? 

Pros of Pacific City Thousand Trails

Now we’re getting to the good stuff! Despite the lack of signal, the tiny roads, and lack of full-hookups, we think this park is worth your while and definitely deserves a stay! Here are the best things about Pacific City Thousand Trails RV and Camping Resort: 

Large Sites

The RV sites at this RV resort are not only large, but they also have a lot of space and foliage between them. Your campsite will feel secluded, no matter what area of the park you are in. There is plenty of space to set up your outdoor living area and have privacy from neighboring campsites!

Location

As for location, you can’t beat this spot. There are trails from the park to the ocean, and you’re literally right across the street from sandy beaches and the sprawling Pacific Ocean. 

Not only are you in prime coastal real estate, at this RV resort you’re just a short drive away from the town of Pacific City. Pacific City is an amazing place for whale watching, grabbing a coffee or a beer, and sitting on the beach watching the Dory boats come in with the day’s catch… Or row out, if you’re a morning person.

Pacific City is also home to Cape Kiwanda, a towering sand dune and sandstone cliff that creates a cape on the coast. Pacific City is also home to its own Haystack Rock. 

This RV Resort is also situated at the southern point of the Three Capes Scenic Route. Cape Kiwanda, Cape Lookout, and Cape Meares are all breathtaking (and famous) capes and scenic lookouts on the Oregon Coast. And you’re only a short drive away from all of them! You can enjoy hiking, biking, photography, checking out a lighthouse, and so much more. 

Kids Area in the Lodge and Indoor Pool

The Lodge at Pacific City is huge and has a separate kid’s area and gaming room. There is also a library and a cafeteria-style dining area. 

Right outside the lodge is an indoor pool for swimming in any kind of weather!

Ocean Views

Depending on which sites you choose at this RV resort, you can enjoy a beautiful Pacific Ocean View. The sites on the upper level have great views of the ocean. On the lower level, you might not be able to see the ocean, but you can definitely hear it. The waves will lull you to sleep.
