According to a press release issued by Quinault Corporate Enterprises, the Quinault RV Park and Marina in Ocean Shores suffered significant damage due to severe winter storms and ocean surges. As a result, Quinault RV Park will be unable to accept reservations until May 1.

The release went on to indicate that the park’s electrical and sewer systems were heavily impacted, and extensive ocean beach erosion resulted in the loss of five RV sites. In collaboration with the city of Ocean Shores, efforts have been made to mitigate the effects of coastal erosion.

“We appreciate the understanding and support of the community during this challenging time,” said Anthony Enzler, Quinault Nation Enterprises chief operating officer. “The damage was severe, but we are dedicated to restoring the park so that visitors can continue to enjoy this beautiful coast of Damon Point and Oyhut Bay.”

Even with the May 1 target date, uncertainty remains regarding a full reopening for the summer season. The Quinault Nation Enterprises staff and Quinault RV Park management are “working tirelessly to clean up and rebuild, with every effort being made to welcome guests back as soon as it is safe and feasible.”
