Camping near Cathlamet provides stunning ocean scenery, historic lighthouses, and volcano views.
Only an hour from the Pacific Ocean, Cathlamet brings coastal recreation and beachfront camping within easy reach. Roll onto a private homestead offering tent and RV sites with firepits, drinking water, and portable toilets. Then, venture an hour west to Cape Disappointment, which, despite its name, will not leave campers dissatisfied. Walk the sandy shores of Benson Beach, climb ocean sea stacks, and visit the North Head Lighthouse—a great whale-watching vantage point in spring. Tents and motorhomes up to 45 feet are welcome at Cape Disappointment campsites with full hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings. Rustic cabin rentals with bunk beds, kitchenettes, and covered porches are also available, as well as yurts with heat, lights, and bunk beds. More camping awaits in Seaquest State Park, an hour east. Here, campers will find full hookups, restrooms, showers, a dump station, and more yurt rentals equipped with electricity. Don’t miss out on kayaking around Silver Lake or trekking the Mount Solo Hiking Path to get views of the dormant volcano, Mount St. Helens.
