A Loop of Cape Disappointment State Park

I booked 2 campsites in loop D near Lake O ‘ Neil in Cape Disappointment state park in January. My camping experience was ruined because of the mess created by raccoons. We reached our campsite after sunset and kept a bag of unopened chips on the picnic table before we started setting up the tents. In less than 5 min of our arrival the raccoon stole the bag of chips and tried to escape. So it was clear that we couldn’t have any food outside. That was a bummer. I had called the park to check if Loop D sites were operating and had no issues. It would have been helpful if the park office warned us of raccoons attacking campsites. We would have better prepared ourselves. Even after no food was kept outside while we were sitting by the campfire the raccoons were roaming the campsite multiple times. So we couldn’t be relaxed and always had to be vigilant of their presence. My request to the park is please put up signs to be aware of raccoons to not take out food even when you are present at your campsite. All campsites in loop D are not well maintained. The one good part was washrooms were clean with hot water and hot showers. Overall the loop D campsites need a lot of maintenance for safety of campers.

I love this campground! It right next to the beach and a short drive form very nice attractions! The beach is very beautiful and very cool to look around at. The forest areas are very nice too and some campsites are near pretty caves, you just get to explore!

Definitely did not disappoint. We were at A21, it was close to the beach and absolutely clean campsite with full hookup. If you don’t need a hookup, B104, 105, 106 are awesome sites. There were countless small plastic particles on the beach, we took a bag with us during our numerous walks so we could pick them up. We biked the discovery trail to Long Beach, it was incredible. Light houses, Deadman’s Cove, jetty hikes and so much more… LOVE this place.

This campground (and A Loop) are definitely worth a visit. The WIDE sandy beach at the end of the loop was a surprise to me, I have to confess - I was expecting a rocky shoreline. It was lovely to be on the beach at sunset with a view to the north of the North Head Lighthouse. Campground bathrooms and showers were impressive - PRIVATE individual locking rooms (and lighted occupancy indicators) with full locking doors for the toilets and showers. Pretty good spacing and landscaping between the campsites on A Loop, and I like the circular arrangement. We will definitely be back!

We positively love this campground and camp here every February. We had a rather poor experience with a couple of campers behind us last weekend, which, although extremely entertaining, also caused a disturbance to at least two different camping loops that continued off and on from just after 10 p.m. until about 2 a.m. So, a gentle reminder for those who may have a medical device that must be plugged in at night: Generator hours apply to EVERYONE and can only be run at certain times of the day. Contact the Ranger station at the campground for generator hours and for help. There are sometimes electrical sites that end up open from travelers that cancel their reservations at the last minute. And, if someone does not abide by the rules, contact the non emergency state patrol phone number and let them know instead of causing a bigger disturbance than a running generator.

The campgrounds r pretty big and nice. U can rent a cabin or a yurt or u can put up a tent. Has a nice beach ( don’t swim ). Also u can hike to a light house. Has a museum near by about Luis and Clark. The whole camp area is really big. Nice to explore. We rented a yurt nice and cozy. Also a tip bring a sleeping bag it gets to cold at night. Another thing if u r going with tent bring a waterproof tent cuz when we went there it was raining, hailing, and even snowing a little bit too. Also bring waterproof clothes.
