Use our extra-large, private, sheltered campsites as your base of operations
while you enjoy the lighthouse and historic Hughes House tours.
The lighthouse and historic home are open from April to October. The lighthouse
tour, managed by the Bureau of Land Management, costs $2/adult, $1 youth under
12, or $5/family. The Hughes House tour is conducted by knowledgeable volunteers
and is free, but donations are gratefully accepted and help fund restoration and
maintenance of the house.
The rest of the park, including the campground, is open year-round.
Cape Blanco is the most southern of Oregon's lights, and is the westernmost
point in Oregon. Proposed in 1864, it was the first lighthouse in the state
outfitted with a first-order Fresnel lens in 1870.
The first-order lens was replaced with a second-order lens in 1936.

Work off your picnic lunch by hiking over eight miles of trails with many
spectacular ocean vistas, woodland and wetland settings. Bring your horse and
enjoy 7 miles of horse trails and the facilities in our horse camp. The group
camp holds a maximum of 50 people, and can accomodate up to 24 vehicles. This
total may include five or more self-contained RVs. If you expect to have more
than five RVs or 24 total vehicles, call the park. The group camp has four fire
rings, four picnic tables, four water spigots and vault toilets. Showers are
located in main campground 1/4 mi. away.
No matter how you camp with us, don’t forget a sunset walk along the headland
beaches to finish out your day.
