I stayed here for the weekend. The lookout is large enough to sleep 6 folks. We were able to drive to the base of the tower. As pointed out you must pack up your gear, food and water. We found it extremely helpful to come with a 100 ft coil of rope and basket (we used recycle bins, but anything would work). Someone climbs the 60 feet to the top and throws down the rope. Attach the basket and haul up you stuff. There were some donated supplies (don’t count on anything being left) from previous campers. The views are amazing. The drive takes 90 minutes from Gold Beach, you can watch traffic approaching for 45 minutes at night as it switch backs up the road. I saw Eagles, deer and other wildlife. I’m guessing it’s been closed due to the EXTREME fire danger. Hopefully folks can once again experience the thrill of waking up over 60 feet in the air.
