Cape Perpetua

If you are coming with multiple families and tents, consider the group camp site. It's the best accommodation in the park. We loved all the hiking opportunities, and access to the tide pools and the spouting horn were great. We enjoyed the hike to the beach, but for playing on the beach we preferred Neptune beach a few miles south.

By far the best little campsite my wife and I have found. this will be our 4th year here at Cape P. So close to home but feels so far away. Hiking trails for all levels and great viewing for those looking to get out and take good photos. When we camp here it does seem to fill up but always another camp site in close range. Happy camping!

This was my first time staying in this campground. It was a great site, #5. Beautiful path to the creek and as much privacy as one could hope for. We had a lovely stay and would recommend this campground, just choose your site carefully. Some are not as private as others.

Really nice campground. Flush toilets with sinks to wash your hands was awesome! Camp host was great. Especially love his Border Collie, Fred. Only complaint is that the sites are on the small size for bigger tents, which we have. We made it work though. Sounds of the river behind our tent at night was great for sleeping. If we had an R.V., I think we wouldn't have minded the smaller site. Location easy for sightseeing and the sun was out most of the time since you are tucked away from the ocean. I would come here again.

We love this campsite

Just such a nice place. Cleanest bathrooms I've seen at a campsite. Great location for exploring the area.

We had seen this campground and known that we wouldn't enjoy it, but reserved it because of its location and federal pricing. We would not stay here again. The campsites are literally at the edge of the road and mostly quite close to one another. Upon arrival, we actually thought someone was in our site because it appeared that there were tents there. Upon further investigation, we discovered that the tent was placed touching our parking block. When we got parked and had our vehicle off the road, the back window of our trailer was 3 feet from their tent. They had a tiny site with 2 tents and could have done nothing differently. However, they could have kept the volume of voices and music down and used appropriate language. But that could have happened anywhere.

As everyone else has stated, the sites are very close together. We stayed in #5. On one side, complete privacy; on the other, there was a large opening in the bushes that looked right onto the picnic table at the next site (#4). #5 is right on a pretty creek, and there was room to set a couple chairs down there next to it. The campground host was grumpy and unpleasant, the last day he was outright rude to us. But truly this campground is Paradise! A magical forest setting, within walking distance of so many natural features, plan to stay at least 2-3 nights. A real gem, we feel fortunate to have stayed here.

Nice campground

Cape Perpetua is an amazing and wonderful place to hike and watch the coast and tide pools. However, the campground is quite awful. We arrived at our spot (#27), took one look at the pitiful patch you are calling a campsite , and left. Truly terrible campground.
