Cape Lookout State Park Campground

Cape Lookout was an awesome little place right on the beach! I would wake up every morning and go out to the beach to watch the waves. Our stay was relaxing and beautiful. There are a TON of campsites at this campground, so you'll be sure to find one you like. The bathrooms and showers were clean which is always nice. There was a little store that sold firewood, and even a junior ranger program that my little cousins did. 

  

The beach out in front of the campground was super nice, because it was sandy unlike a lot of the other beaches we had seen up the coast. Check out cape lookout trail, it was a nice moderate little hike.  We still got our fill of the rocky beaches when we drove up the washington coast. It wasn't too far, and we spent one day road tripping up and back down the coast looking for cool hikes. 

  

All around great place to stay, no complaints!

Cute place right on the beach! 

It has a nice secluded beach and it was quiet at night.

Love this place

Cape Lookout is right on the coast and has something for just about everyone.  There's an amphitheater, showers, backpacking sites, cabins, yurts, summer interpretive programs, covered group areas, a great beach and a a roughly 6-mile round-trip hike that puts you 2 miles out and 400 feet over the Pacific Ocean.  I stood amazed at the views and, staying quiet, noticed migrating whales.  The beach is windy, wild and unpretentious.  The crashing waves at night should drown out most loud campers, allowed pets and somewhat nearby traffic.    

Complete n' Easy

This is my favorite place on the Oregon coast for camping. I've stayed at Cape Lookout over 15 times and will continue to do so every year. It's a large state park campground and is great for anyone who wants easy access to the ocean. The campground is located directly next to the ocean via a short walk over a small dune that separates the campsites from the beach. Amenities include hot showers (included in the campsite fees!) and well maintained bathrooms with flushing toilets. There's an amphitheater with ranger-led interpretive programs in the evenings and Junior Ranger programs for the kids. And, for hikers, there are several trails to explore, including one that goes the length of Cape Lookout. A connector trail from the campground goes up to the cape. Or, explore the seven-mile long beach all the way to Netarts Bay. Make sure to check the tides if heading this direction as part of the beach gets cut off at high tide. Campfire wood is delivered directly to your campsite via park staff who ride through the campground each evening in a golf cart. The campground is regularly patrolled by park rangers.

best campground for beach access

The campground is great and has hot showers which is always great and it was free!!!! The squirrels are very aggressive and will go near food even if you are there so be prepared. The beach is so nice and the only people there are campers so not crowded at all! 

Nice campground and great beach! 

In brief: quieter campground, good for families, small groups, dog owners and hikers.

If you love being lulled to sleep by the sound of waves, this is your spot. The Pacific ocean sang us to sleep each night. 

But enough poetics, this is one of the comfiest beach access campgrounds within an hour-ish of Portland. Large tent sites leave plenty of room for you to bring a buddy or to pop out extra lawn chairs. 

When we were there the only showers available were over in the RV area but they were clean, private and warm - car camping jackpot! We saw the park staff cleaning the restroom at regular intervals and there was always toilet paper. Fire rings have grill bars on top for hotdogs and that perfect baked potato.

There are always lots of dogs here and while the rangers try to get everyone to keep their pups on leash in camp, be prepared for a surprise sniff or two. Plenty of firewood for sale - and the ecological importance of not bringing your own is pretty big unless you live nearby.

In the summer months expect kids to be riding their bikes and scooting through the park loop Dawn to dusk but at least they are outside! 

We've been here in the winter months and it is much quieter, if a cloudy day is your thing then that's a good time for you to go as well.

We always scout out the whole grounds for future trips and take notes on our favorite spots, I'll include some of those below:

D circle

55 and 54 spacious private

42 full shade lots of trees full shade smaller Camp pad

32 Shady Tree filled has a climbing log. Room for multiple tents privacy longer driveway

27 much wider cement pad room for at least three tents 26 right next door both pretty open and connected

67 has hammock trees and room from multiple tents.

Backside of D loop will be great for summer heat

Cape Comfy

Looking for a great spot where you can camp and hear the waves this is it. I went in the cooler time so it was pretty empty which was nice. Still pretty foresty though has yurts as well. Nice facilities and a short walk to the beach. Also a great place to start before doing the cape lookout hike. Seems like a place that would be busy in summer.

A great spot right near the beach!

Great day and night at Cape Lookout! This campground is just over the dunes from the beach and has a backdrop of giant spruce and pine trees to the east. Spacious grassy sites with fire ring and picnic table. Very clean bathrooms with free hot showers.

Go for a hike to the end of Cape Lookout (trailhead just 2.5 miles up the road). Enjoy your morning coffee and walk along the beach.

*it was very quiet in October, but I was told by a ranger that it is super packed in the summer. Reservations available online.

Awesome campground on the beach

Really awesome spot, short walk to the beach, all spots were large and private! 

Great Spot

LOVE this campground! I could spend a month on the beach all day every day and not be done with it! Playground, close to stores and heritage/tourist sites.

My parents used to bring me here often (we were camping here the day Mt St Helens blew), and now I bring mine!

Great at the beach

We camped in tents over the weekend at the end of April, and we loved it there! It was such a short walk to the beach and you could hear the waves when you're going to sleep! Look up the tides tho, since there's such a short beach to the water, during high tide the beach disappears. But we used that time to go on a nice hike part of the way to cape lookout overlook instead which is right there as well. We also rented the meeting hall in C loop, and we were really impressed with the space! It had tables, chairs, a gas stove, kitchen sink, small fridge, microwave, outlets, and lots of counter space! It was so nice for a big group like ours.  Such a great place to enjoy nature without the need to drive to the beach.

Weekend camping

We stayed in a cabin overlooking the beach. Build a fire at night, watch the stars and listen to the waves crashing in. The cabin was small, a little cramped with 4 adults but is was comfortable and had a little kichen and bath with shower. It is pretty private as well. You need to bring your own linens. Scenic hiking all along the area, Cape Meares is nearby as is Tillamook Cheese Factory, always fun to stop in. Cabins book months ahead and price was reasonable, but you have to plan for it.

Wonderful getaway

This campsite offered a nice amount of space, but it wasn’t as private as some of the others on our trips (no tree coverage at our site). It was very quiet here though, and it was easy not to really notice anyone else, even though several people were there camping. Our site was right behind the dune/wall blocking the campsite from the beach. It was maybe a 1 minute walk. The beach was very nice and peaceful. Our particular site was a little bit further from the restroom (maybe just a 2 min walk), but these showers were the best of the three on our trip. It had a stall with a bench and hooks before you walked into the shower (so two doors, like there was a mini changing room). They seemed clean but still wore flip flops.

Nice campsite, clean facilities 

The beach was great and is only a few minutes walk from the campground. You are allowed two cars per campground and any extra have to park in an external lot and pay an extra $8. You are given a map and the staff were nice. We had a big group and they were accomodating. Firewood can be bought and a vehicle drives around asking if you want to pay for more.

The space isn't a whole lot but it does come with a firepit and a picnic table and are separated pretty well by foliage. We did have crows who ripped open bags of food and a family of raccoons ate and dispersed wrappers of a good portion of a friend's food. Apparently the raccoons prefer regular oreos over vanilla oreos so keep that in mind :). It was a great experience though and highly recommend it for the beach access. 

Not-alotta space but close beach

Nice and close to the beach, only issue is beach access for those who have trouble walking over large unsteady rocks.

Very close to the beach 

This spot was BY FAR our favorite!  There are some gorgeous beaches here and the sunsets are flawless!  The campground was very family friendly and made for an awesome place to spend the weekend. The bathrooms were very clean and there were paths close to most sites for the bathrooms. The site itself was roomy and private.  There was A LOT of wildlife here!  From hummingbirds to martens that growled throughout the night and freaked me out.  Beautiful campground and will definitely be going back. 

bucket list campground

This campground has improved a lot over the last couple years and most all campsite are trailer accessible - as long as you don’t exceed the length.

Amazing agate and sand dollar hunting as well.

Best camping year around 

Just stayed at Cape Lookout this week and we loved it!  We stayed in Loop C at site C25.  The site was one of the few set amongst trees so there was a little more privacy than other sites. It was located near two clean bathrooms with showers and hot water.  We could hear the ocean from our site and it was a short walk to a gorgeous sandy beach!  Our 6 year old had a great time playing on the beach.  There was firewood for sale.  A great area to hike and see other attractions along the coast.  We will definitely return. 

Great campsite near the beach

if your looking for beach camping, Cape Lookout is a great option.  The campsites sites are good (although some are pretty exposed) with lots of room between you and your neighbors.  The best part of the campground is that all sites are about 50 yards from the picturesque Oregon beach. 

Good Campsites, Great Beach

We stayed in a cabin here. The cabin was great, perfect size for relaxing for a few days. The kitchen/fridge/front porch grill were great. Full bathroom. We used an air mattress on the bed over the pad that was provided.

The trees/forest were beautiful, and so was the ocean, which is a short walk away. You can sit on the front porch and watch the sunset through the trees while listening to crashing waves. That's hard to beat! We also hiked to Cape Lookout (a little over 9 miles out and back from the cabin). Great vacation!

Wonderful!

Beautiful beach and multiple campground options from cabins, to group camping, to large tent sites, to yurts! The beach is only a walk away. There is also an off leash dog area and picnic areas for large parties and weddings. Clean campground and beach. The showers are clean and hot - great friendly staff. We return every year!

CAPE LOOKOUT HIKE - see photos! Plan to be out in the train for 3-4hrs. The hike is not long, but there are plenty of FUN obstacles along the way like roots, bridges, and many views. You can often spot whales in March-May.

Beautiful beach and multiple campground options

We stayed in zone A, which made for a fast and easy walk to the beach. The beach itself was beautiful- soft sand, long stretches in either direction. Not incredibly crowded or busy, which was great considering it was midsummer. 

Idyllic Access

Yurt lyfe

When we Stayed: Early December, Wednesday-Friday

Overall Experience: secluded cabins made for a private, relaxing trip.

Cabins: there is a group of cabins away from the main campground so they're quiet and private. We had a shower, toilet and kitchenette. The parking lot is a bit of a walk from the cabins but they provide wheelbarrows to haul your stuff up to the cabin.

Location: a quick walk down to the beach and easy hiking trails in the woods. The cabins were up on a bluff in the woods so you could just barely see the ocean through the trees.

Incredible location for rustic cabins!

Loved camping at cape lookout. Walk to the beach is hard to beat. Well kept sites. Got drenched one day but a beauty when the sun came out. 

Hear the ocean from your tent

It is very nice place, We enjoyed our camping there a lot. Camping site is very close to the beach.

*   Campsites are fairly close together but we didn't mind! The campground was full for July 4 weekend, yet not too loud and facilities weren't crowded
*   Free, very private showers! Soap in the bathrooms! Super nice and clean! 
*   Steps away from a beautiful, expansive beach
*   Do the Cape Lookout peninsula hike! Gorgeous views without great effort. Lots of tree roots that will tire your feet but not a strenous hike overall: ~5 miles roundtrip 
*   Perfect taste of the breathtaking Oregon coast

Perfect taste of Oregon coast

Very fun Campground. Around so many cool things to see and do. I love the Oregon coast, this is a must stop when in the area

So nice, I went twice

Beautiful spot 

In May/June I rode a bicycle down the coast of Oregon. Cape Lookout was the first hiker/biker camp I stayed at after leaving Portland, and it set the standard by which all other camps would be judged.

  

The area around camp is fairly rural until you crest Whiskey Creek Road (heading south). Neterts Bay spreads out in the distance, along with a dense pine forest. The road in is smooth and blacktopped. The trip in will overwhlm the senses with the lushness of all the green (in the spring), the freshness of the fragrances and the always magic of the Pacific.

  

Camp itself splits in two parts. RVs, Car Campers and Tents on the north side. Hiker/Bikers on south. They are connected by both beach, trail and a blacktop road to a day use area. 

  

The north side is nice but fairly packed in. You better like your neighbor. There are also yurts and cabins available on this side. The cabins looked more appealing being a little separated at the foot of the North Trail. I camped on the south side so this review primarily reflects that space.

  

The hiker/biker site was flipping awesome. A dozen plus sites tucked under giant trees but close enough to ocean to view it through the trees, and listen to the crashing waves at night. The sites were close to each other but the ground growth including ferns reaching over my head made for a fairly private camping experiences.

  

Also, awesome amenities. After a long day of riding (or hiking) Cape Lookout offered: 

*   free hot showers (on the north side)
*   storage boxes with USB charging stations for phones and lights
*   Fire Pits
*   Picnic Tables
*   hiking right out of camp (Birding!)
*   bike racks

There was also plenty of firewood lying around, as well as bundles available at the entry. There are plenty of hiking trails leading out both sides of the camp, and you can go for over 3 miles along the beach out of camp towards the Neterts Bay Peninisula.

  

Oregon Hiker Biker Sites are $7-8.

\*Pro-Tip: If you are headed south on foot or bicycle there is an 875' climb immediately leaving camp. It is a beast. Fairly vertical. There is a lookout point about halfway up you'll run into plenty of others who need a break.

Cape Lookout for the Hiker/Biker win. 

This was my first visit to Cape Lookout, or camping on the Oregon coast, for that matter. The RV sites are separated from the tent sites, which is nice. Most of the tent sites are fairly open, some of them have more privacy, but all of them are very green and incredibly close to the beach while still being somewhat protected from the wind coming off of the ocean.

Bathrooms were relatively clean, though you always have someone emptying all of their camp trash in the bathroom trash can (pizza boxes? Really?) so it's hard to keep up. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful. 

A truly beautiful place.

All Around Great

Steps to the beach? ✅ In the forest? ✅ Access to amazing hiking? ✅ Private? ✅ We love Cape Lookout for all the diverse scenery it has to offer. Spend the day on the beach or wonder through the old growth forest. Most of the campsites are great, although we prefer loop C. A gem on the Oregon Coast!

Has it All!

Some campsites are big and more private than others

Super!

This campground is one of the cleanest campgrounds I have been to. Our campsite (A50) was extremely close to the beach and bathrooms, which was great. I would have given 5 stars, but the campsite was not private and we could clearly see our neighbors on all sides of us.

  

You are not allowed to cut your own wood for fires, so be sure to purchase firewood. In the evening we were fortunate to enjoy a fire on the beach while watching the sunset, it was amazing!

Campground with Great Beach Access

I stayed here a few years ago, but it is just a tough place to get a reservation. Unless it is an off weekend/not ideal weather. 

Either way, the coast is always beautiful. Rain and clouds or sunshine. 

The hike out to cape lookout can also start right at the camp grounds. This adds some miles to the 3 miles it is from the cape lookout trailhead, but the forest along the coast feels so tropical! 

Fires were allowed and we enjoyed a cool night by the ocean. 

Camping on the coast 

We really enjoyed camping here!  We could walk to the beach in about 1 minute flat.  Nice grassy spot for our tent and stars at night.  Basic groceries are 5 miles away in Netarts.  Firewood is self serve on site, make sure to bring cash.

Terrific beach access!

This is probably one of the hardest campsites to get a spot at in Oregon, as it is incredibly popular. It's right on the beach, with several camp site backing up against the sand. We had a camp spot a little further back, in the woods. That's nice for shade and protection from the elements, but I imagine the ocean front sites must be quite spectacular to stay at. It's a state campground, so it's very well maintained and has lots of facilities.

Gold standard for Oregon beach campgrounds

This campground is nestled in shrubs next to the ocean. 

Perks: SO close to the ocean you can hear the waves at night, right next to the beautiful Cape Lookout hike, away from any major roads/towns

Cons: windy and cold on breezy coastal nights due to the proximity to the ocean

Windy, beautiful, coastal

Excellent

If you want to be close to the beach, this a great campground. Super easy to find. 20 mins from the closest Fred Meyer (grocery store). Would recommend and will come back.

Great location!

Nice state campground with some full RV hookups. We prefer loop C. There is a man made burm that keeps some wind from coming into the campground. You can walk to the beach and see sunsets and hang gliders coming off the mountain. Lots of hiking. Whiskey creek fish hatchery is nearby and kids will love feeding the lunkers in the pond. Jacobsen salt company is also close by. 

Walking Distance to the beach

Not crowded and great weather for our early spring stay for a night. Close to the beach with wide open space and very few people. Would return for a multi day trip!

Great!

I enjoyed my night here. Reservations are required year-round. It was fairly full when I stayed in mid-March. There is beach access, which is massive and beautiful, but no sites are beach front.

The bathrooms were fine, although the roof seemed like some sort of paper material so after a rainy night I got dripped on quite a bit. The showers were closed due to Covid.

The sites are very private. It seemed like a nice little family spot.

Private Spots, Beautiful Beach

This is such a great State Park. We camped on one of the forest loops and was impressed with how big and private the site was. The restrooms were clean and easy to walk to. It was also an easy and short walk to the beach. We loved watching the sunset on the beach and then walking easily back to our camp. 

Great Coastal Campground

We happened to be on the Oregon Coast on a Friday night during nice spring weather. The website said there were still a few sites left so we drove there to secure one. It is best to reserve a site but we never do so you can still get a site the day of if you don’t have a reserved site and there are unclaimed sites. 

Our site was 65, a tent site, in the full sun near the bathrooms. There are bushes that obscure your next door neighbors but you can see the ones across the road. We could hear the roar of the ocean but it lulled us to sleep. There are trails to the sandy beach. 

We paid $21 for a tent site during the off season. 

Oregon state park campground near the Pacific Ocean

This is a beautiful park.  We've stayed here several times over the years.  My favorite is when I am able to snag a cabin reservation, but tent camping is also very pleasant here.  We're headed back later this summer and I can't wait.

  

The cabins are located near the day use area, but are back in the trees and feel very private.  There used to be only 3, but I believe there are 7 now.  They are all spaced apart from each other to not feel like you are right next to anyone.  Each cabin has a separate living room space, bedroom, and bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet.  The living room space also has a sink, a microwave, and a small fridge.  The cabins each have a gas grill on the porch as well.

  

It's about 50-60 yards through to trees to the beach, so the views from the front rooms and porches is amazing!  It's like the best compromise between camping and a motel.  The price is right and the location can't be beat.

  

We have also enjoyed tent camping many times as well.  The campsites are well maintained and it's easy to get to the beach from camp.

  

Definitely recommend this campground.

Love this beach campground!

Love it here. Great beach, great wooded sites, great hikes.

A Great Oregon State Park

A Loop does not have beach view, there is land between campsites and coast but it likely keeps some wind down. Campsites were clean and maintained. Camp hosts were good about their cruising around, checking in, and offering firewood for sale. Camp guests were behaved. Both men and women’s restrooms were out of hand soap during our stay. Trash was overflowing on the way out. Will probably try B or C loop next time for more privacy and large trees for hammocks. Campfires on the beach permitted and made for a great time. Fire pit at campsite wad large and clean with grate perfect for cooking. 

4th of July

Busy campground, but good for a quick overnight. 

Good spot on Oregon coast

Nice campground near Tillamook. The campground was pretty cold in late July, and seemed to stay much colder than the surrounding cities of Tillamook/Oceanside, so it’s hard to predict weather using an app. It did rain which was unexpected, so come prepared. The hike to the cape was absolutely beautiful, but was harder than stated and extremely muddy, so again, come prepared. Nice beach access throughout the campground. Our site was a good size and backed up right to the forest, but unfortunately there was no privacy from site to our left. Loops nearest to ocean were very, very tiny. We stayed in C loop, which had more space and quite a bit of shelter from the wind. The campground was very busy and heavily trafficked, but stayed pretty quiet and peaceful through the day, aside from the occasional
bike-riding child. benefits of this campground: showers, flushing 
toilets, access to decently priced wood and ice at the entrance, awesome beaches and very family friendly- would be good for little ones. I would recommend utilizing the pre-registration process through reservation.gov, because the check-in process at the entrance seemed to be a bit slow.


Nice campground

Nice campground near the coast.  Was very foggy and it turned into a rainy overcast day

Amazing views 

Cape Lookout State Park has it all! Beautiful beach, check!  Amazing hiking trails, check!  Nice variety of site types (cabins, yurts, tent and RV), check! We've camped here many times and always enjoyed ourselves.  Though every site was full when we stayed for a couple of nights at the beginning of August, we had enough elbow room to feel comfortable. 
  
Our only disappointment was that the trailhead from the campground to the cape was closed due to a landslide.  So we tried to make the best of it by riding our folding bikes 2 miles up the steep road to the day use area.  It's a short but strenuous ride with spectacular views down the coastline at Anderson's Viewpoint, which has also long been a popular launch for hang gliders and paragliders. When arrived at the day use area, we discovered there were no bike racks,  so we were unable to lock our bikes and do the hike.  I left feedback about this with the ranger station staff, and fingers crossed they'll install some bike racks in the future since the trail from the campground could take years to repair.

Cape Lookout has it all!

We come here every year. It’s a crowded campground but stays pretty quiet. I like that the beach is just over the hill and is quite pretty.

Great site

Beautiful location, just a short walk to the beach. The only downside is it is very crowded. We stayed two nights in two different spots - in C loop and A loop. Barking dogs and raccoons rustling around in the trees in C loop and in A loop, our neighbors let their baby cry all night. While obviously not the camp manager's fault, the guest noise did affect our enjoyment. It was around labor day, so I guess to be expected somewhat? The beach views and experience nearly made up for it though. Trash has to be thrown away up near the camp entrance, and while not an issue for responsible campers others don't understand leaving trash out in your site = raccoons and unwelcome guests. Was able to get low service with T-Mobile and campfires are allowed.

Beautiful location, loud guests

Private spots with great access to surrounding area. Beach access walking distance from all the sites. I would have given the campsite five stars but roads are narrow and with long trailers or RV’s it is tight getting in.

Clean and private

Perfect coastal getaway for star gazers! Close access to beach and nice showers/bathrooms! Plenty of sites for first come campers!

Star gazing heaven

We tried a yurt with our dog and had a great time. I highly recommend this site. The beach is a 5 minute walk with plenty of space to play and stroll. Also check out the South Trail for a fun but sometimes muddy hike. 

Great place to try yurt camping

I camped twice at Cape Lookout this season - in June in a yurt, and in July at the campsite right behind the dune.  

  

In June, it was freezing, rainy and windy, and the yurt was fantastic. The most amazing feature of the yurt was the heater. It really kept the place warm, and the yurt was spacious. We were 3 adults, and could easily have slept another one or two. Each yurt has a small patio as well as a fire ring- and inside was electricity and a power outlet. Best of all, you were still just steps away from the sunset on the beach.

  

For camping, there are so many different kinds of sites at Cape Lookout - Sites closer to the entrance are very woodsy, the sites closest to the beach frontage (behind the dune) are very very open, and sites along the furthest perimeter are a little more spacious and some have trees (important to note if you want to hand a line or a hammock!)

  

We camped at the site right behind the dune where the beach access is. It was a little noisy since everyone passed our site on the way to the beach, but very lovely to be just steps away. Each of the tent sites has a fire ring and picnic table. In both June and July when I visited there was no fire ban. 

  

Hiking is great in the area. You're also close to Pacific City, Jacobson's Salt, the tunnel at the Oceanside Beach, and Tillamook if you're staying here longer and want to take day trips outside of the State Park. 

  

Recommend booking early for summer campsites. The yurt I booked in June was available for booking same day.

Yurt for late spring, Tent for the Summer

I LOVED this place! I was really impressed with the closeness to the beach and how secluded it was. Although that could be due to it being January. After being wind blown but having a blast on the beach it was great to walk back to our yurt and warm up. When we arrived there was already an air purifier and the heater running. It was super cozy in there. Both my husband and I slept like babies on the beds - don’t forget your own sleeping bags though of course. 

I was impressed with the sweet smelling restrooms and hot (free) shower. Everyone was quiet and respectful and masks were required in the restrooms and facilities and such. One of the nicest yurts I’ve stayed at!

Great, clean, dog friendly campsite!

I stayed here while renting a conversion van for the first time. I made the poor choice of coming to the Oregon Coast in the winter during a storm. And then I made the even worse choice of unknowingly selecting a campsite with no trees to block the wind, and then parking perpendicular to the wind, so my van swayed all night! Let's just say, I didn't get hardly any sleep! Haha! I moved in the morning to a camp site in the trees and it was fine. 

The camp itself is great. Nice facilities.  I took a fun walk on the beach in the pouring rain. Came back soaked but it was fun. 

Solid campground by the beach

Lovely park with very nice campgrounds. Sites are separated by natural plantings. We stayed in site C31 which was very nice. If I were to return I would pick C32 because of the interesting tree that anchors the space. C27 is also a very nice site.

Beautiful Park

A favorite for the Oregon Coast. Reasonable driving distances from surf spots north and south. Clean and beautiful spot. 

Great Coastal PNW Camping

This campsite was awesome— steps from the beach and just a few mins drive from incredible hiking! You are able to buy firewood from the campsite for just $5 a bundle, and great tap water is available nearby every campsite. The bathrooms were clean and even had showers!

We loved our stay, though I must say not all campsites are created equal here. Many of the campsites are well spaced out from the others… ours was not! We were very very close to two of our neighbors and would’ve liked more space. When we come back, we will go with the campsites that were across the street from ours. :) Also- some of the campsites were quite muddy the further from the beach they were. We got lucky with a not-so-muddy one! It had been raining that week, so just a heads up if you plan your trip after a rain storm. The D60’s campsites were all pretty mud-free!

Beautiful campsites near the beach and hiking

I’ve become a big fan of the Oregon State Parks. This is a great one. As you can see from the attached videos, it is extraordinarily beautiful and at the time of the video we were the only ones in the entire park. I really enjoyed the privacy.

Great Coast Camping

They brought firewood for sale directly to our camping spot.  Weather was dry and no bugs!


Great park hosts

In August 2019 we rode from Seattle to Santa Barbara, staying most night in hiker/biker sites. We were quite impressed with Oregon State Park campground, many of them offering storage boxes with USB charging station and free showers for about 8$ per sites. This campground was probably the one we preferred, having many biker/hiker sites, each of them with their own tables and fire pits and enough privacy between each site.

Great Biker/hiker sites

Amazing location for a campground! Nothing beats sleeping within 200yards of the ocean. Excellent beach access from the campground with gorgeous views. The local bird actively around the campsite was also a plus. Clean bathrooms and showers. Staff routinely drive around to offer firewood for sale at each individual’s campsite. I was blown away and would stay again.

Oceanside Camping 

most of the tent spots have a good amount of privacy, with many of them very close to the ocean — fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing. pretty clean showers. extremely short walk to the beautiful beach. would absolutely stay here again but probably in a tent site closer to the beach

perfect campground

Busy campground, lots of families and kids. Each campsite has foliage/trees for privacy. Well maintained. I would pick a site that isn’t next to the bathroom trail or you’ll have someone walking through your site every 5 minutes. Each site is Steps away from beach access. Awesome Tide pools in the morning. 

Ocean views 

The C loop is beautiful. Lots of amazing old stumps and logs to explore in and around sites.  Lots of shade trees and a nice shower facility. The other loops are more or less parking pads on sea grass. Our site had a awesome corner with several massive old stumps our kids played in non stop. The trade off was our parking pad and the path to the bathroom/shower nearly touch each other. People were just about walking under our awning when they went by. The park is clean and very well kept. So well in fact that my 6 year old daughter was told she cannot use sidewalk chalk. There are some really nice junior ranger activities for the kids also.

Very nice beach adjacent camping 

I came here with a few friends and we really enjoyed it. The bathrooms were nice and clean as was the site itself. There's a good amount of privacy between the sites too which is really nice. It's quiet at night even when it's crowded and has easy access to the beach, even after the sun goes down.
