Cape Lookout State Park Day Use and Campground will close in winter 2026 for park improvements funded by Oregon-issued General Obligation Bonds (GO Bonds). Annual winter closures still in effect. This project will upgrade the water and electrical utilities in C and D Loop, replace the D Loop restroom/shower building, repave the campsites and roads in D Loop, reinforce the dynamic revetment (foredune) that protects the campground from the ocean as well as reconfigure and repave the day-use parking lot. Construction closures will be adjusted as the construction timeline becomes clearer. Beach access may be difficult year round at Cape Lookout. From October through March winter weather may cause closure of part or all of the campground. Call park for updates. Seasonal Beach Restrictions March 15 - Sep. 15 Beach restrictions in effect during western snowy plover nesting season. Foot and equestrian traffic on wet sand only; all other recreation is prohibited. Information: oregon.gov/plovers Please be aware that all garbage dumpsters in the overnight campground have been removed. To help retain the natural beauty of the park for our visitors, we ask that all garbage be brought to the trash compactor located near the registration booth and not left in the restrooms or at your campsite. A central recycling station is located beside the trash compactor. Information on discount programs, can be found at the Oregon State Parks website.
