Best known for lightweight, Japanese-style camping gear—there’s a physical shop in Portland—Snow Peak pivoted last year to open a campground in Long Beach, about a mile inland from the waves, offering tents and even small wood cabins as accommodations, with a wash house and indoor gathering space to upgrade the camping experience.
But the property highlight is the Ofuro spa, a semi-outdoor space with three walls and a roof but one open-air side. A sizable warm soaking pool provides escape from blustery Washington beach weather, and a large sauna includes a window out onto the trees. Kids over 6 are allowed, and the airy space keeps it chill even when people are talking. Day passes ($35) are reservable up to three days in advance and the last session of the day is adults only.
