About

Cape Perpetua Campground is located in the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area along the banks of Cape Creek, surrounded by towering Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, and alder trees. The campground offers an ideal base for exploring the Oregon Coast, with many sites situated directly along the creek. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring, and the campground provides flush toilets and drinking water from a hand pump. The campground serves as a gateway to a 23-mile trail system that winds through dense old-growth forests and leads to dramatic rocky coastal overlooks. Popular trails accessible from the campground include paths to the Giant Spruce, tide pools, and the summit of St. Perpetua, which offers one of the best views on the Oregon Coast. The Cape Perpetua Visitor Center is a short, moderate hike from the campground and features an outdoor viewing deck with phenomenal ocean views. Located on Highway 101, 22 miles north of Florence and 3 miles south of Yachats, the campground sits on the east side of the highway within the scenic area. The location provides the best of both worlds: the serenity of a forested campground with immediate access to coastal recreation including beach access at nearby Heceta Beach and extensive tide pool exploration.
