Washburne is located on the east side of Highway 101 with a buffer of native
plants between you and the highway. The campsites are spacious. There are
several trails of varying difficulty leading from the campsites to the beach,
wildlife viewing areas, and second-growth forests.
A walking trail leads you under the highway to a five-mile sandy beach and a
day-use area, where you'll find space to watch whales, hunt agates, beachcomb,
and picnic. Another trail connects you to the Heceta Head trail, which you can
use to reach the historic Heceta Head lighthouse (check the Heceta Head
Lighthouse web page for information on tours).
In the campground at night, you can hear the pounding surf. There is a creek
running through the campground, and elk have been known to wander through. Wild
rhododendrons bloom in spring.
