There are signs everywhere telling campers to beware of the raccoons. We got spooked and left early with our family.

Dont forget your bike, walking/hiking shoes, and sand buckets. Cape disappointment has it all! There is so much to do, you will not get bored. You can hike the trails, ride your bikes and walk the beautiful beach! The facilities are well kept and there isn't a bad spot in the whole park.

Chilly and wet, but beautiful, interesting and a very unique experience!

With Long Beach, Astoria, and Seaside all within an hours drive, this campground is a great base camp for exploring the beautiful Pacific coast & learning about its history.

This campground perfectly embodies PNW camping. The ocean is literally a short walk away, you can hike up to the lighthouses that provide incredible views, and the campsites are nice and large. The campground is right outside the touristy town of Longbeach.

Cape Disappointment is a great spot for campers of all kinds. There are RV hook ups, tent sites, hiker/ biker spots, cabins, and yurts. Very easy access to the water as well.

The yurts are your basic state park round dome with sleeping arrangements for up to 5 people. It has a table, chairs, and indoor heat.

Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. There is a park store that has basic essentials and the ability to buy wood.

During the spring, the wind can be pretty intense so beware if you are tent camping.

This is a State run campground that is located right next to the Pacific Coast. We were able to walk from our campsite to the water in less than 5 minutes, and we weren't the closest campsites to the beach. It was lovely to listen to the ocean right from our tents.

Roomy (but not private) tent and rv spots. A great place to bring kids. Bathrooms are clean.

We have camped here in both tents and RVs. This place never disappoints, no matter what the season. The beach is interesting, with lots of driftwood and wooded areas to explore. The facilities are newer and clean. There are many trails to explore and a trail that allows you to ride your bike all the way to Long Beach.

Well set up, everything easy to get to and with something for all. Great beach off the Pacific, a bit of a wild/windy/fresh air to it, and a fun community feel. We slept really well. One of the other circles/groupings had a campsite that was really loud, however, loud music, but ya gotta use your diplomacy skills out there sometimes to get your neighbors to quiet down. While popular, this is a beloved park at the end of a scenic drive, with lots of cool, out-of-the-way towns, good hikes and gorgeous water access nearby.

I was expecting large crowds and an unpleasant experience but didn’t get either when I visited. I went on Black Friday in November and the park was minimally crowded. I camped by the lake to stay protected from the howling wind coming in from the water. There are two different camping areas. By the lake or by the ocean. The ocean side is more expensive and you camp in circle loops. The lake side is cheaper but doesn’t have electric. Both sites have tables and fire rings. The bathrooms were nice enough, being built within the past 10 years and are standard flush toilets and concrete construction. There are two light houses to explore and a WW2 bunker in the park. I would return to explore more in the off-season. The sites are very very close together in my opinion so it wouldn’t be ideal for me when it is packed.

Short hike to the secluded beach spot

Third time this month stayed in yurt 61 and 71 both awesome super close to the beach. Then stayed at campsite 117 also super close to the beach no electric in that loop though.

Company campout weekend went wonderfully everybody brought something for the potluck lot of trails Great Beach wish we had more time, definitely going back

Cape Disappointment is an absolutely amazing state park and campground, the only downside is it is extremely busy. We've camped here a few times as a family and love the access to the beach and hikes to the lighthouse. We plan to give it a try again in the fall, hoping it won't be as busy.

Wow, what a beautiful place! Walk to the beach to find treasures and sit to relax and just watch the waves. Very peaceful, and my teens loved it!

We were lucky enough to sneak another trip into this location before the summer ended.... okay maybe it was tipping into fall but the weather was still nice!

This is one of the few locations that you can feel like you have an expansive beach to yourself.

We love it because it gives our dogs room to run and we love to hike and bike in the area.

Beautiful space, amazing views, beautiful beaches, fun hikes. But the camp sites are right on top of each other, and the beaches were so unbelievably windy we got sand everywhere. They were unbearable and we didn't stay on the beaches long at all, which was a serious bummer.

Love this place! The campgrounds are awesome and spacious! The bathrooms are close by, and always cleaned! Access to the beach is right there. There are a bunch of trails to go too! It's a perfect family spot :)

Cape D is our Favorite go-to camp. Perfect, pristine beach. Large, relatively private Campsites With close access to a bathroom. The nearby trails in the park are amazing, simply for the fact that the view is different, depending on the weather. Your kids can roam within this park, bring the longboard and bikes! Even in the rain, fog, and cruddy weather this park has it all. The summer music series is fun for random dancing. No critters that we've ever noticed. If we can ever afford to retire, this is where it will happen.

There is a lake with waterfront spots or pick a spot closer to the coast. There are tons of trails so bring your bikes!

The bathrooms and showers are brand new and exceptional. They are clean and well appointed with outlets, hooks and flush toilets.

Right before the entrance to the park there is a little mom and pop store, Cape D Cafe, that sells grocery items and home made pizza. They are super nice! Take a break from cooking and pop in for some pizza to go.

Awesome campgrounds! The campgrounds are always clean and well maintained. Close to the beaches. Awesome storm watching in fall/winter! Plan your visit in advance this place fills up fast!

I have camped here several years in a row now. And I love it! Even with the 3 to 4 hour drive to get to the coast the views and the smell of the ocean make up for it. As a child we would easily ride our bikes all over the campground, back when it was called Fort Canby. As an adult I love waking up early to go for long beach walk. The roar of the ocean is great to fall asleep to. The sites are great for tent camping. On one trip we took in a bluegrass concert at the Amphitheater. The trails for hiking to see the old Fort sites are pretty amazing. The lighthouses are a great back drop when the ocean waters are turbulent.

This campground has great accessibility to the beach and is often much less crowded than the northern Oregon coast. There's great beach-combing and a network of hiking trails that include historical military sites and view of a lighthouse. 

A whale had washed up just before we were there, but luckily the campground and the part of the beach where most campers spend time was upwind.

The sites are pretty close together, in little roundabouts. There is vegetation between most sites, but if your roundabout backs up to another roundabout, there may be little privacy. 

Very popular with families. Easy biking routes for kids. Walk to the beach. Beautiful sunsets!

This campground is all about location. The sites are not huge or fancy, but the view and the hiking make up for any complaints. We will definitely explore more of the Washington Coast after being here!

Not a lot of privacy, but the location makes up for it. Make sure to check out the lighthouses and spend some time at Waikiki Beach - a strange freshwater (it's still the Columbia River) beach with huge ocean waves and a lot of cool driftwood.

This is our go to off season campground. The yurts are awesome for winter trips like thanksgiving and the camp spots are big and have pretty good privacy. Walk to the beach, lots of trails for hiking, good biking and kite flying. Head into long beach for seaside town fun and you can drive on the beach there too. Two lighthouses, a great visitor center, and fresh seafood from illwaco. The park gets pretty crowded in the summer which is why we go off season. Awesome campground
