I was pleasantly surprised by this campground. Some of the sites are super private, which was great. The bathrooms were nice and clean and the grounds well kept. There are no showers, so be aware. They have such nice, large bathrooms, that they could add a shower stall without any issues. We have a small (21 foot) Travel Trailer that fit in our spot nicely. No hookups so we used our generator. The stream was running fairly strong (May) and it really kept all the road noise away. I will definitely go here again. read more

It was quiet for the most part accept for our big group that had to leave early. Nice picnic tables, place to park your car, fire pits, trash cans, electrical near the group tables, and next to creek so it's quiet. read more

I'm filtering this review Through the memories of childhood, and so it will have a hazy quality as I've never returned to visit or camp in years, but the memories are all good. I'm pretty sure it's the first camping trip I remember clearly. My dad always headed out first earlier in the day to set up camp; the rest of us would come along later in the day. He had an old army surplus tent that slept 12, which was perfect because my family and a couple of other families always took a few camping spots in a communal kind of arrangement. One campsite was turned into the "kitchen," where my dad set up his gas cooking stove, and I remember vividly the smell of bacon and hot coffee as we woke up each morning. That's also where we had the evening campfire and where scary stories were told. My strongest memories are of the comparison of the dark, sort of brooding quality of the forested campground itself and then the totally brisk, sunny, wildness of the beach. We would spend hours out on the beach running around and wave-hopping, and I know this is the first place I saw tide pools and real live starfish and many other creatures. I also remember getting toweled off and feeling nice and warm after all the brisk windiness of the beach. While I haven't been back in many, many years, I think this is a great place to camp and spend time with family. I really need to go back and visit soon. read more

This campsite is extremely conveniently located. it is across the street from the Cape Perpetua shore. It is also about a 10 minute drive from Yachats which is a small town with some restaurants and shops. My husband and I spent one night here with our maltipoo. We met the camp hosts who were friendly and helpful. There is no formal check in process so it's best to know your campsite number ahead of time. Our campsite was small and close to our neighbors. There is a small creek that runs behind the sites, which provides a nice ambience. The restrooms were clean, however, I found that they were a bit of a walk from our campsite. Also, there are no showers. I would not object to staying here again, however, I would want to try another campground first. However it is a great location if you plan to spend most of your day at Cape Perpetua. read more

I'm not one to to get airy fairy about places, that's my fiance. But this place was, well, kinda magical. Stayed here on our way up to Washington State July 25th and the weather was typical cool Oregon coast. I booked site 15 which is one of maybe 6 or 7 sites that are almost totally secluded and private. Didn't know that when I booked, but so happy to discover that on arrival! Our tent has a rather thin rain fly on it and so during the night we started feeling damp. It may or may not have rained, couldn't tell over the flowing sounds of the nearby creek. But it may have been all the moisture accumulating after sunset. Whatever the case, our sleeping bag was a bit wet in the morning and the corners of the tent had some water, but not much. The whole campground was very peaceful and all who camped there that night, including a family in site 16 with loud kids, shut down the sound at 9pm. We would love to stay here again, especially since we love hunting agates at Strawberry Hill and Bob Creek, both less than 10 minutes away. Also, the bathroom was clean and had a sink, with no stink! read more

Cape Perpetua Campground - looking up to the road from site 15. Pretty private spot - Campgrounds Near Me - Yachats, Oregon

Plenty of space for tents and room to roam 7 of us camped and there were three tents. We all fit into one campsite. Our site was close to the end of the campground where there is a day use area. It felt like we were the only ones there and most of the sites were occupied. The bathrooms could use a hook for the overnite bag as we were getting ready to brush our teeth but other than that, it was clean and fine. The kids played soccer and some baseball at the day use area and there's even an electrical plug there to charge a battery camera...no cell service (yay!!) I can't tell you the name of the camp host, but his dog Fred is the campground celebrity. He rides around in the cart. The host was out of firewood so we had to drive into Yachats to a market. The market itself is overprices...$3 for a bell pepper! so make sure you have all the food you intend on cooking at the campsite. The campground has a trail to the closed visitor center and then a walk down to the beach. We walked down at low tide and went to the tidepools. The site was adjacent to the creek. TONS of mosquitoes and the noise of the water rushing in the creek was great for me (white noise) but one of my friends found it too loud. It did rain one night (in July!) so be prepared for unpredictable summer weather. I would go again. read more

Just got back from our coastal roadtrip. We enjoyed our stay in Cape Perpetua campground. I'd done my homework looking for a good spot on the coast and I chose wisely! The campground is essentially one road in with the camping area lining the right side. The tent only spots are first come first serve and are definitely the choicest. Because we were traveling from Utah I wanted to make sure we would have a guaranteed site so I reserved an RV spot. It was in the grass right next to the road, not secluded like the tent only sites. The campers next to us had switched sites when the arrived but we got in late at night and didn't want to re-set up camp the next day. But, there weren't that many sites total and we were towards the end of the road so noise wasn't a problem, in fact it was VERY quiet. The only thing I missed was showers but the camp host told us we could go 9 miles down the road to Washburne Campground and shower there for $2. The campground is close to some awesome sights! We were fortunate to be there at super-low tide and had fun clamming with the locals early in the morning. The tide pools were spectacular! We saw anemone, urchins, starfish, all sorts of shellfish, crabs and jellyfish. We got up close to Thor's Well and were mesmerized by the tide moving in to Devil's Churn. The rangers at the visitors center were nice and helpful. My husband thought the Sea Lion Cave sounded cool so we went down there to check it out. Yes, it was impressive but, in my opinion, not worth the $14 per person admission. The only thing that redeemed it was that there happened to be 4 gray whales hanging out just south of the lookout and we watched them for 2 hours! We only spent about 10 minutes looking at the sea cave. I had fun checking out the flea market shops in Waldport- if you like this sort of thing, you'll have a ball! Great vintage stuff, I dragged my husband through the store for over an hour. read more
