For Cape Perpetua Campground: Sites are small by today’s expectations, but this is a nice campground for car/tent campers or those with short, narrow RVs. Most sites aren’t particularly level, except for a tent area. The sites vary as to size, privacy, shade and vehicle parking arrangements. There are several freshwater spigots along the campground road. They all have short, small unthreaded spigots and spring loaded self-closing handles, with fairly low flow, so filling an RV freshwater tank would be problematic. Despite previous reviews, or the campground map on the official USFS web page for this campground, there is NO RV DUMP. It has been permanently removed. A USFS employee (not the camp host) told me that although there is a capped opening in the sewage treatment drain field area, that is vehicle accessible, it is only a cleanout and is ABSOLUTELY NOT intended to be used as a RV Dump inlet under any circumstances. He also told me “off the record†that a previous campground host had been terminated because that host had been charging “cash only†for “unofficial†use of the clean out opening to dump. This is a very popular and heavily used campground so getting a non-reserved site can be difficult. Cellular services (AT&T, Verizon) are nonexistent in the small narrow valley of the campground, but there is some reception here and there nearby, within walking distance along the nearby highway for example.

For Cape Perpetua Campground: Good place for tenting. No hookups so you have to like boondocking. The dump is for campers and no outsiders so that is good. Had firewood for sale when I was there. The visitor center is good for families and kids too.
