We like the Oregon state parks and Cape Lookout is a favourite. It had a bad windstorm come through the area a few years ago and there are quite a few dead trees near the campground, but I like its brightness, its promixity to the beach, and the great trail nearby. We had a nice bike ride along the beach here, too. This is an easy place to catch the Oregon Coast Trail and there's a short hike (about 5 km) over to the hike out to Cape Lookout. The Oregon Coast Trail continues to another huge beach and how far one gets to walk on the beach I will probably never know. We found the park relatively quiet after Nehalam Bay State Park which was crawling with people. The spring break in Oregon schools begins the week PRIOR to Easter so the parks were busy. We had a "rest day" here and enjoyed some hiking and sitting around. Lots of trillium in bloom along the trail.
