Cape Lookout State Park is a gorgeous park nestled on a spit directly between the Pacific Ocean and Netarts Bay. Tent and RV campers will find exhilarating activities and a serene escape at Cape Lookout. From hiking to hang gliding to relaxing on the beach, Cape Lookout has you covered.

The area that's now Cape Lookout State Park was originally left undeveloped after the U.S. Lighthouse Service gifted nearly 1,000 acres to the state in the 1930s. During WWII, a B-17 bomber on duty struck the area. A rescue team saved a single survivor after 24 hours of struggling to reach him. Soon after, roads were built directly to the cape. A study conducted in the 1950s on the land concluded that it had great park potential, and work began almost immediately afterward. By 1952, the park and campground were almost as large as they are today. Book an RV in Tillamook County and start planning a getaway you won't forget!

Getting Outdoors

Cape Lookout has over eight miles of trails to explore. The trails travel straight through the lush forests, with a delightful beach at the end of the Cape Lookout Trail. A short trail is available to those who aren't able or don't want to walk as far, which is full of native plants, trees, and unique wildlife. While traveling along the coast, keep your eyes open for whales. Visitor sightings of whales are quite common. Keep your eyes peeled for wild horses along the banks as well.

Beachcombing is another popular draw to Cape Lookout. The park is known for its abundance of glass floats, along with sand dollars, starfish, and assorted seashells. Glass floats are hidden along miles of the Oregon coast, making beachcombing extra exciting as you may find a one-of-a-kind prize.

Many visitors find a thrill near Cape Lookout by hang gliding or paragliding. Adrenaline junkies can experience the area's scenic views in a whole new way at Gammon Launch. Though not exactly inside the park, you can head just outside of the entrance and paraglide your way above Cape Lookout.
