Cape Perpetua

Best campground on the Oregon coast!

Great spot by the river and about 20 ft down a slight hill to the campsite from the parking spot along the road. Can walk to Devil's Churn but doing so means walking along the highway; there's no trail to Devil's Churn from the camp site. There is a nice trail to the scenic viewpoint of the coast on the nearby hill, though.

Wonderful place to camp. This place has the most amazing trails around to hike on. The sites were quite nice and they were nicely separated. The only thing I wish is that the brush was more cleared so the creak was more visible. The grounds were very clean and kept up. Overall this was a great spot to camp.

We spent two nights at Space 39. It was a great campground but there was a busy trail 20 ft away from our tent/picnic table. Also, we had to climb 8-9 stairs to get to the picnic table from the car. I wish we would have known this ahead of time.

Campground was very well maintained. Brush had been trimmed extensively making campsites more open to the sun.

Doug the campground host was super helpful!

A beautiful, mostly quiet campground along a creek. We stayed in site 36, on the end loop. There is not much privacy from the camp road, but very few cars. Lots of beautiful trees and a little sunshine too. The site is near the group camp, but far enough that we weren't bothered by group noise. Also close to the Giant Spruce Trail, at an access point only about 1/4 mi from the huge tree.

Campsite is super well located for tide pools, and Thor's Well, Devil's Churn, etc. Also enjoyed the town of Yachats coastal path/park and the delish food at Luna Sea Fish House and breads/pastries from Bread & Roses. The site itself was kind of buggy and damp, though there are more open "upper level" sites closer to the road versus the creek. Bathrooms clean and sink/mirror for simple wash ups and flush toilets versus vault--that's nice. Host very friendly. Head up the road above the campground for great views.

An excellent campground and location, giving access to the Cape Perpetua area and surrounding trails within a quiet and sheltered camp loop. Loop is one extended piece with a turnaround and one group camp site at the end, but campers tend to be quiet and respectful - - A mix of sites visible from road and those hidden by the creek. Then about an even mix between small RV campers using general sites and tent campers with some bicycle touring campers as well. Access to both beach and visitor center relatively close by.
Restroom buildings above average for Forest Service though some of the door handles need repair to open all the time.

The combination of beautiful forests, stunning vistas, hiking trails, and tide pools was Oregon at its best. Add the history of the Civilian Conservation Corps and it was a very rich experience. Not to miss: Visitor Center, Caper Perpetua (the views!) and the rock shelter, the giant spruce trail.

And the campground has flushing toilets with a sink!
