Great location, bring earplugs.
This campground is as other reviews say: everyone is packed in like sardines and there is zero privacy whatsoever. The bathroom was not clean once in the 3 days we were there. Always disgustingly muddy. I'm really not sure if they ever cleaned it at all, however, there was always paper towel so the staff much be checking it periodically. I never saw any staff working on the premises apart from the people at the desk. Our campsite had cigarette butts and garbage upon arrival. The pool here is huge and the hot tub is big too and very hot so that was a hit with the kids. They have a small playground and some fun games for campers to play. The campground was very loud every night until 11pm so bring earplugs unless you love listening to drunken games of cornhole. The location of this campground is amazing. Just steps from the beach and easy to rent surf boards and hit the waves. There is also a nice coffee shop.

Not like it used to be
We have been staying at Cape Kiwanda (now called Harts Canp) for over 20 years. The property needs improvements to justify the high costs. If you’re traveling with families where different accommodations are needed (tent, RV, etc) , it is a good location for that. However, the cottage prices have increased so much that the cost isn’t matching up to the quality.

Absolutely a,living nightmare $269 .00 flushed down the honey bucket
It was,the,absolute worst place my wife and I have ever stayed we paid,$269.00 for a little run down what they considered a nice cabin with warm atmosphere .Just the opposite the bathroom was an outdoor honey bucket with no hand sanitizer. The only running water was an outdoor spicket.the inside of the place smelled of old warm out wood, the bed was,a worn out futon which was very uncomfortable to even try and sleep on at best it was a,15 by 15 run down smelly cabin .we,checked in at 5.45 pm a nd after dinner went back yo our cabin was so disgusted and unhappy with what it wasn't packed up and drove back home leaving at 11.pm driving 2 hours to get back home cabin .never again will make sure to tell everyone not to go there

Overpriced nightmare!
No wifi at all for a premium price. You are packed in like sardines, and we bought a full big pull-through. Our electrical hookup was right in the middle of our neighbor's camp next to his stove and fire pit. Think Disneyland in June when they do not observe capacity rules. All the restaurants charge Michelin Star pricing for pub food, and all the waits at restaurants are an hour on a weeknight. The pool is excruciatingly loud with sugar-rushed kids all hours. The campground isn't maintained well. The bathrooms and showers are dumpy, outdated and not very clean. I will never be back or recommend this place to anyone.

Cape Kiwanda, now Hart's Camp, is nicely located and much more expensive now.
We have RV camped at Cape Kiwanda RV park several times over the past 10 years. In 2025 it was purchased by the owners of the previously adjoining Hart's Camp and the merged campgrounds are now called Hart's Camp. While the staffing and organizational structure may have been improved, there are still improvements to be made in some of the campsites and public restroom/shower areas. There are some nice areas in which you can hang out with other campers around a campfire, as well as some yard games like horseshoes and jumbo Jenga. There's a putting green and nice playground in the nicer area of the campground. The H campsites are in a large parking lot with little foliage to provide privacy. This is also the area where several vintage Airstreams are parked and rented out. If you can reserve a site in a different section of the campground, you will get a better site. The rates have greatly increased since the change in ownership. There used to be bunnies running around and they seem to have been lost in the change, as well. On the plus side, Doryland Pizza is still on the property and the Pelican Brewing and beautiful beach is directly across the street.
