Cape Disappointment is a 1,882-acre camping park on the Long Beach Peninsula, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. Visitors can enjoy the dramatic scenery from atop steep cliffs. The park offers long stretches of sandy beaches and wind-blown forests for visitors to explore. Visitors also may tour the park's historical coastal fort, two lighthouses and the newly expanded Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.

Interior of Cape Disappointment yurts shows domed roof, bunk bed, futon, table and window.

The yurts are within walking distance of the beach. Each yurt is 16 feet in diameter by 10 feet high and is furnished with bunk beds that sleep three, a full-size futon, floor lamp, small end table and heater. Outside is a picnic table, fire pit with grate and a deck that is accessible to people with disabilities. All yurts are heated, but visitors should take along blankets and warm clothing as evenings can be cool. An RV pad with hookup nearby is available for an additional fee.
