Crabbing and Camping on the Oregon Coast - How to & Where to

In 2013 we were making our way up the Oregon coast when our friends the RV Geeks reached out and told us “you gotta stop by Waldport, we built a website for McKinley’s campground and they’d love to have a video to share about crabbing.” We did a little research on the campground and it turned out they sell shellfish licenses, rent boats, crab rings and everything else we’d need to “do it ourselves”. We were hooked on the idea and we promptly directed our RV north.

The Oregon coast is simply breathtaking and it was our first crabbing experience and it was perfect! Thanks to McKinley's for hosting us and we can honestly say this small family owned park is worth a visit, especially if you like crabbing, clamming, nature and Rogue Beer (their HQ is just up the road!).

I traveled the Oregon Coast in July in our 5th wheel and I believe it is the most beautiful coast. The Crabbing was fantastic and taste so good.

Waldport and Yachats are the best kept secret in the country. My girlfriend moved there, can't wait to retire out there with her. Awesome area to RV fulltime!!!

I have been hoping you would go to Oregon! My husband and I vacationed there a year ago and fell in love! We were just there again the same time as you and once again it was perfection! Thank you for the video - we are gonna use some of the things you listed for our next visit. Hope to see more Oregon videos soon - thank you for sharing!

Wow, great video and it makes me want to get my RV sooner. Love that you can stay at the Marina, play golf and go crabbing. Being from Louisiana and crabbing as a kid that’s right up my alley. Thanks again for the informative video.

Oh love you guy's videos.. it's always a good day when that little "1" pops up on your channel in my subscriptions:) I havn't traveled by RV ever.. they don't really fit in Europe but I'm remodelling an old camper caravan so I can convince (and afford) my husband that long term traveling in Europe is do-able.. when are you guys going to travel over here?

we rented a house in newport just a little north of here. the house association had a dock to crab off of and we caught several keepers for dinner. loads of tasty fun

Fantastic piece guys! I know I want to go to McKinley's now! C-Ya!, , , , Peace!!

A well done on-location revue, as usual.  The production quality on your "travel videos" are always the best!  By the way, I absolutely loved your cameo appearance for the RVGeeks.  Kitty cat on the drop down bed part was the spoiler.  That cat has very unique markings. Thanks for all the great videos.

I have been using your videos to help persuade my wife into a camper purchase for our family. This one might have sold her.

[Scorpiomary]

Lovely thanks for sharing your adventure

[macknine]

Thanks for the inspiration and information.

[WaynesRV]

This video has just made two of my lists... The most important one is my bucket list. :) This WILL happen. :)

Thanks for the review. Great Location right in our backyard we never new about. We will defiantly be making reservations!! Thanks for the review and keep up the great videos. Hope you enjoy your stay in Oregon!! If you haven't been there yet making a trip to Bend is defiantly worth the time. Safe Travels.
