This is our second visit to Whaler's Rest, (actually, my second visit), Jackie didn't join me and is meeting me at Beverly Beach State Park.
I agree; Whaler’s Rest is a nice campground with lots of things to see and do nearby. The campground is very well kept and the staff is great. Although there is access to the beach, you must cross US 101 to get there. The beach is beautiful and Lost Creek Wayside was the only way I saw down onto that section, so there were few people. That worked great for dogs who love nothing better than chasing each other around the beach.
The campground has an adult lodge, a family lodge with an indoor pool and hot tub, a miniature golf course, a small disc golf course, a shuffleboard, a laundromat, and tennis courts. There is also a fenced dog walk area and a playground. Our campsite was secluded, but not all were. Whaler’s Rest felt more like a campground than just an RV park. Overall, we liked the park and will return in the future. I recommend finding a tourist info center and find out what’s nearby. We did, but on our last day there, so we need to return someday.
Whaler’s Rest is located just south of Newport, Oregon, just about the middle of the Oregon Coast. It too is a Thousand Trails Campground, so here is their description:
