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.
Cape Blanco is 28 miles south of Bandon. Turn right at highway sign and proceed west 5 miles. It is 80 miles n. of California border (Brookings). And 5 miles north of Port Orford. Turn left at highway sign. Go west 5 miles to park entrance.
Book sites up to six months in advance at our partner site, oregonstateparks.reserveamerica.com.
Super fun place for horse riding. The beaches are giant and the trails are fun.
2nd most Westerly point in the lower 48. Wanted to get out by the light house but the wind was blowing hard and steady. Jumped out for a few good pics though.
Beautiful drive to the cape, with fog rolling in and over you - eery to say the least. Quite a walk from the parking lot to the lighthouse due to left side of the road that caved in. Cool view of the Needle Rock jutting out of the fog.
Love Cape Blanco. Great horse trails/horse camping, regular camping and all around nice day trip up to the lighthouse.
