Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Cape Blanco State Park adventure.
Seacliff hikes, ocean views, and windswept beaches await at this remote coastal park.
Jagged sea cliffs tumble down to sandy shores at the remote western tip of Oregon. Cape Blanco’s highlights include the historic Hughes House and Cape Blanco Lighthouse, which affords spectacular views along the Pacific Coast—both can be visited on a guided tour. Eight miles of hiking and mountain biking trails run along the coast and through the wildflower-blanketed headlands, while trail riding opportunities can also be found for horseback riders. Campers have plenty of space at the group campground, including electric hook-ups for RVs, tent sites, and horse corrals.
Cape Blanco is open for hiking and camping year-round, but the main season is from April through October. Tours of the lighthouse and historic home are only available during this period, and advance bookings are recommended, especially in July and August. Out of season, it’s easy to escape the crowds, and you might even have the beach to yourself. Bring something warm, even in summer, as coastal winds can pick up at night.
