What visitors mention
Pet policy
Yes, dogs are allowed to stay overnight at East Bay Campground (Manypeaks, WA), but it is a nature-based camping area with no built accommodation. Here is the pet policy for the campground: - Accomodation: Only suitable for tents or small campers; it is not suitable for caravans or large motorhomes, and there are no cabins. - Pet Policy: Dogs are permitted but must be kept on a leash at all times. - Fees: It is listed as a free campground. Note: According to the City of Albany's Nature Based Camping guide, dogs are permitted at East Bay, but not at the nearby Cape Riche campground. If you are
East Bay Camping Ground is a free, nature-based campsite on East Bay Beach near Manypeaks, WA, roughly 45 minutes east of Albany. The single defining reason to bring your dog here is the direct, off-tent access to a white sand beach for early morning walks, combined with a genuinely free, rustic stay that bigger commercial parks cannot match.
The rules. Dogs are permitted at East Bay, which makes it a rarity among nature-based camping grounds in the region. The nearby Cape Riche campground does not allow dogs at all, so East Bay is your option in this stretch of coastline. Keep your dog on a leash at all times. The sites are tightly packed with only four to five designated bays, so you will be camping close to your neighbours. Manage your dog to avoid disturbing both fellow campers and the local wildlife within the Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve area.
What's there. This is bare-bones, beachfront camping. There is a pit toilet, but no power and no water. You must bring all your own drinking water and supplies for both you and your dog. The campground is sheltered from the wind and offers scenic sunsets over the water. It is popular with fishers casting from the beach or nearby rocks. Sites are best suited to tents, camper trailers and small campervans. The access road is tight, and large caravans and motorhomes are not practical for this location.
Getting there. Drive roughly 45 minutes from Albany to reach Manypeaks. The final access road into the campground is narrow, which is why smaller rigs are the better choice. Parking is free and directly at the campground, but spaces are strictly limited to those four or five designated bays. Spots fill up fast, especially on weekends. Arrive early to secure a site rather than turning up at dusk and expecting room.
When to go. Aim for a weekday arrival to beat the weekend rush for those limited bays. Pack every drop of water your dog will need before you leave Albany, because there is nothing to collect on site.
