This KOA campground is located at the northern tip of Oregon, only one mile from the beach, and the area offers something for everyone. There are miles of hiking and biking trails, nearby picturesque towns and historical sites, shopping and entertainment. The weather forecast calls for sunny skies with patches of clouds and temperatures in the high 70’s. (Bring a jacket! There’s always wind on the beach and a chance of rain.) Check out our family reunion website at smithreunion.com for updates and to see who else is planning to attend.

If you plan to stay at the KOA, we still have a small selection of cabins, tents and RV spaces set aside for our family. Call 503-861-2606 and identify yourself as part of the “SMITH FAMILY” group to secure your reservations.

Questions? Call Susan Smith at 123-456-7890 or send email to: susansmith@somewhere.com.





(A minimum of 1 additional piece of communication a few weeks prior to the reunion is recommended for all confirmed attendees. For more details and information, check the complete planning timeline here.)
