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.

We stayed in a yurt (my first time). It was great. It had heat and electricity! Campground was very clean!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

I've been visiting Cape Lookout for years with my family (my partner and our dogs). This is by far the best campsite we've found on the coast. Bathrooms have semi-private showers and are conveniently located. Access to the beach is a short walk, and the hiking trails are amazing. We usually don't visit during the summer and even when a portion of the site is closed (sand accumulates on 'A' loop) we haven't felt like it was over packed. We personally prefer the A and B loops which are closest to the beach and feel like they have the most privacy. On that point, we love how much privacy is usually found between sites. For the most part, trees and bushes are substantial enough to make your site feel like you have your own sanctuary (we might be introverts).

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!

Drive up camping. A bit crowded, but right on the beach. Easy walk to the beach.

I was thrilled with the privacy of the sites at this campground! There were sites that we quite secluded, but the park still offered loads of activities lead by staff or hiking and beach going. The facilities were clean, warm, and individual. The yurts looked like a unique camping experience as well.

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.

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