Cape Perpetua

About

Cape Perpetua Campground occupies a prime location in the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, positioned between the dense forests of Siuslaw National Forest and the rugged Oregon coastline. The 39 campsites are arranged along Cape Creek under a canopy of old-growth Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, and alder. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with flush toilets and hand-pump drinking water available throughout the campground. A 23-mile trail network begins at the campground, offering routes through ancient forest to dramatic coastal features. Popular destinations include the Giant Spruce, one of the largest trees on the Oregon Coast, and the St. Perpetua viewpoint at 803 feet elevation. The Cape Perpetua Visitor Center is a short hike from camp and features interpretive exhibits and an outdoor viewing deck with panoramic ocean views. The campground operates seasonally from March through September. Sites are reservable through Recreation.gov, with some available first-come, first-served. The location provides convenient access to tidepools, whale watching, and Highway 101 exploration along this scenic stretch of coastline.
