Dense Sitka spruce trees create a natural windbreak at Cape Blanco State Park Campground, where 58 sites occupy a forested bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This Oregon State Park campground sits 9 miles from Port Orford on a narrow access road that winds through open terrain before climbing to the clifftop location. The heavy tree cover provides substantial privacy between sites but limits solar power generation for RVs.
Sites accommodate RVs up to 65 feet with full hookups, though Ryan W. notes the campground "is small-ish with less than 20 sites for cars/rvs/tents." Each site includes a fire pit and picnic table, with paved driveways extending deep into the wooded areas. The bathhouse provides flush toilets and hot showers, though water pressure drops when multiple showers run simultaneously. Cell service varies significantly by carrier and location within the campground.
The Coastal Trail runs directly through the campground, connecting to a half-mile path that emerges at a meadow overlooking Cape Blanco Lighthouse. Beach access requires driving a steep, narrow road down the cliff face. "The breach access is a one lane curvy road kind of scary to drive down," reports Tim W.. The lighthouse, built in 1873, offers tours and serves as a popular sunset viewing spot.
The campground operates year-round with reservations available for standard sites and four rustic cabins. A separate hiker-biker area sits apart from the main campground with bike racks and tool stations. Horse camping is available in a dedicated area with corrals and equestrian trails. The dump station has been closed for repairs, requiring campers to use facilities at nearby state parks. Sites cost $22-$69 per night depending on season and hookup level.
Description
Located at the state's westernmost tip, and perched over the Pacific Ocean, Cape Blanco features a 19th-century lighthouse and an early Irish settler's home. Use our private, sheltered campsites as your base camp while you enjoy the park's history, trails and rugged coastline.
More than eight miles of hiking trails lead to the beach, viewpoints of ocean vistas, fishing spots along the Sixes River, and the lighthouse. On horseback, follow a seven-mile trail or enjoy a 150-acre open riding area across from the horse camp.
Horse campers will enjoy twelve new pipe corrals, installed in early 2018 in partnership with Oregon Equestrian Trails. These corrals are available first-come, first-served for Cape Blanco horse campers. Those with additional horses can trailer-tie them or use portable corrals.
