Cape Disappointment State Park

Exterior of Cape Disappointment yurt shows children on bike, ADA deck with trees in the back.

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 dramatic scenery, with waves pounding steep cliffs, wind-blown forests and long stretches of sandy beaches. They also may tour the park's historical coastal fort, two lighthouses in dramatic settings 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 furnished with bunk beds that sleep three, full-size futon, floor lamp, small end table and heater. Outside is a deck (ADA-compliant), picnic table and fire pit with grate. Utility hookup is available for an additional fee. All yurts are heated, but visitors should come prepared with blankets and warm clothing as evenings can be cooler. A nearby concrete pad that can accommodate an RV is available for an additional fee.

The cabins are tucked in an alder forest on the shore of Lake O'Neil. Each cabin is furnished with a bunk bed that sleeps three, a full-size futon and small end table. Each cabin is 13'x13' and has a six-foot covered front porch, picnic table, electric heat, lights, fire pit with grate and locking doors, with bathrooms and showers nearby.
