About Tillicum

Tillicum Beach Campground is popular for many reasons, but the number one and most obvious is its location right on the beach. Campers are lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean waves, then wake to sweeping views of the Pacific. The campground offers an ideal location for whale watching. Most campsites have beachfront views, and sunsets are not to be missed. Fishing, swimming and playing in the sand are the campground's most popular activities.

One of my go tos for tent camping with beach access. The only complaint is the lack of showers, but when you are just going for a couple of nights it is fine. It could be improved with waste water disposal for the tent campers. There is plenty of room in the sites which for someone like me that brings an 8 x 14 tent and a canopy is necessary.

This site is great in its proximity to the bathrooms and the stairs to the beach. It has water and electricity but no privacy as you are right in a wide open lot next to bathroom sidewalk. The best part of this location was that an amazing first-come-first-served spot (#25) was right in front of us and allowed us to snag it when it opened up for the remainder of our stay!

I drove around two years ago and have been trying to make it to this beachside campsite ever since and I was able to book one night and celebrate my birthday. The experience was really great with having the sounds of the ocean so close by. The campsite had no privacy in between the next site but we had nice neighbors so it was cool.
I’m excited to go back!
Pros: bathrooms are right across our campsite (26)
Solid fire pit
Site was clean
Picnic table
Less than 100 yards from the ocean
Clean campgrounds
Dog friendly
Quiet especially considering being close to the 101
The vegetation was beautiful

Cons
Small campsite I would highly recommend trying for at least 2 sites if you’re camping with a couple of people.
No privacy at least for this site
Always full, but I understand why

Disclaimer! My wife and I SCORED solid weather.
75, clear skies, low wind it was amazing we truly lucked out.

Thanks for having us!

We were able to get a campsite with a few weeks notice. Our site #37 had plenty of space and was tucked in the trees. We could hear car noise on the nearby highway but it wasn't too bad, and it was great to be able to walk to the beach. One thing to note, while this site was big it did not have a lot of level space. Other than that, bathrooms and camp site were clean, no complaints!

Tillicum is a beautiful campground. Unfortunately our site was right next to the bathrooms and quite exposed. Having said that, the bathrooms were very clean so at least it didn't smell bad.
