Best Time to Camp at Ocean City State Park

Open year-round, the park embraces the moody beauty of Pacific Northwest coastal weather—expect cool temperatures, misty mornings, and the possibility of rain any time of year, with wind and fog adding to the dramatic seascape. Winter and spring bring wetter conditions that can flood low-lying campsites and create soggy ground throughout the park, while the marshy areas attract mosquitoes during warmer months. Come prepared with rain gear and layers, and you'll discover why coastal camping enthusiasts return season after season.

Summer(Jun-Aug)
3.5 / 5

Great beach access and warm-season activities, but mosquitoes and soggy sites can detract in warm months.

Best
Fall(Sep-Nov)
4.0 / 5

Moody Pacific beauty and beach walks make fall appealing; likely fewer bugs than summer.

Spring(Mar-May)
3.0 / 5

Beach access year-round; spring can be wet with standing water and emerging mosquitoes.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
2.5 / 5

Open year-round but winter brings wind, rain, fog and soggy or flooded sites; less comfortable camping.

About Ocean City State Park

Tucked between coastal forest and miles of windswept Pacific shoreline, Ocean City State Park offers the best of Washington's rugged coast. Wind through fragrant shore pines on short trails that emerge onto expansive sandy beaches, then return to your campsite—whether you prefer rustic standard sites or the convenience of full hookups. Note that some low-lying areas experience seasonal flooding during wet months, and occasional construction may affect site availability.
Multi-loop state park campground with standard tent sites, full-hookup RV sites, and group accommodations.
