Nice preview for visits later in the spring and summer. Got to see where the cabins are and talk a nice walk on the sand. Many folks were enjoying the gorgeous weather and picnicking.
Note: the North Trail to the Cape Lookout is currently closed. I didn't see any info about when it might be reopened. To reach the Cape Lookout Point, use the South Trail.
There were some crews doing road maintenance, likely in preparation for a busy summer.
We caught a glimpse of the yurts from the road. I have some friends that stay here year after year. Looks amazing.
Some how I came across this gem on the west coast and it was nearly empty! Beautiful beach, massive and very well equipped campground, the trail out to cape lookout just a couple miles up the road was stunning, though tbh the 2nd half was extremely muddy. The first half is worth the mile hike definitely, but if you can deal with the mud, the second half is absolutely worth it, unbeatable vistas and the trail was a lot of fun.
I’ve been here twice and it’s a nice place to camp. There’s a good stretch of beach and the sites are close enough to hear the waves at night. There are a LOT of sites here and the bathrooms and the landscaping is a little run down. The sites are small and close together but mostly separated by brush and trees. They do have showers and flush toilets which is nice. Lots of families and kids and dogs. The yurts look good too.
Been here a couple times when visting Oregon. Afew options for trails. Nice little treat at the end of one of the loops
