A popular campground and day-use area, Cape Lookout is located on a sand spit between Netarts Bay and the ocean, giving you a terrific view of the ocean with easy access to the beach. Beachcombing is popular here, and the park is reputedly a good place to find glass floats. More than eight miles of hiking and walking trails wind through a lush old-growth forest. The Cape Lookout trail follows the headland for more than 2 miles. A bench is located at the end of the trail. Enjoy the view! You might see a whale or two along with other wildlife.

Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews
December 23 Have been coming here since I was akid. by Randy Wagner
park review stars; one to five My wife and I rented one of the new cabins in early September along with my Daughter and Grand Daughter. The cabin was very clean & cozy, and is situated among sitka spruce very close to the beach. This is a much quieter serene place than Cannon Beach, or Seaside, and it grows on you. It was hard to leave and return to the city! I highly recommend staying here.

park review stars; one to five We rented a yurt at the state park and fell in love with the coast line there. We are getting married in 2 weeks at Cape Lookout and I would recommend it to anyone! It has stunning views, good hikes and scenic drives. The camp facilities are really good and the camp host is very friendly.
