Best time to visit Cape Blanco State Park
Late June through early September brings the driest weather, longest days, and best chance of clear ocean views, making it the prime window for RV travel to Cape Blanco. July and August are peak season, so reservations fill quickly and coastal winds can still be strong at the exposed headland. May, June, and September are excellent shoulder months with fewer crowds, open lighthouse tours, and milder temperatures. Winter visits are possible year-round camping-wise, but expect heavy rain, gales, and muddy trails.

Things to do at Cape Blanco State Park
- Cape Blanco Lighthouse Easy
Cape Blanco Lighthouse is a working light station and historic site on the tip of the cape. It is the oldest working lighthouse in Oregon, built in 1870, and seasonal interior tours are offered in the warmer months. RVs should park in the campground and drive a tow car to the lighthouse lot. blm.gov/visit/cape-blanco-lighthouse-nhs
- Hughes House Historic Home EasyRV parking available
The Hughes House is a restored 1898 Victorian ranch home near the Sixes River inside the park. Docent-led tours highlight the Hughes family's pioneer dairy operation. A paved parking area near the house accommodates tow vehicles and smaller RVs.
- Sixes River Fishing and Tidewater Access EasyRV parking available
The Sixes River empties into the Pacific Ocean just north of Cape Blanco and supports strong steelhead and salmon fisheries, with tidewaters accessed through the state park. Anglers target fall Chinook and winter steelhead from the park's boat ramp area. RV parking is available at the day-use lot near the river mouth.
- Cape Blanco Beach and Headland Trails ModerateRV parking available
A network of bluff-top and beach-access trails drops from the headland to black-sand beaches on both sides of the cape. Views stretch across the Pacific and south toward Blacklock Point. Wind can be fierce; pack layers even in summer.
- Oregon Coast Trail Segment ModerateRV parking available
The park carries a segment of the long-distance Oregon Coast Trail along the headland and down to the beach. Hikers can link north toward Blacklock Point or south toward Paradise Point. Trailhead parking at the day-use area fits most RVs.
- Horse Camp and Equestrian Trails ModerateRV parking available
Cape Blanco has a dedicated horse camp with corrals and beach-access bridle trails, one of the few such setups on the Oregon coast. Riders can access miles of sand and bluff trails directly from camp. Trailer rigs up to large sizes are accommodated in designated loops.
- Wild Rivers Coast Scenic Bikeway ModerateRV parking available
This Scenic Bikeway is one of the most scenic ways to experience the rugged Oregon coastline and lush inland forests, with the 60-mile ride anchored in the fishing hamlet of Port Orford, the oldest town on the Oregon coast. Cyclists can base out of the park's campground and tackle out-and-back segments. RVers can unload bikes at the day-use lot. fs.usda.gov/r06/rogue-siskiyou/recreation/wild-rivers-coast-scenic-bikeway

How to get to Cape Blanco State Park
The park entrance is off U.S. Highway 101 about 9 miles north of Port Orford and roughly 25 miles south of Bandon, with Coos Bay about 55 miles north (around a 1-hour drive). From Medford or the I-5 corridor, plan on 2.5 to 3 hours west via Highway 42 and Highway 101. RV drivers should be cautious on the narrow 5-mile park access road, which has sharp curves, a steep grade down to the Sixes River, and limited turnaround space near the lighthouse lot, where large rigs are not recommended past the campground. The nearest commercial airports for fly-and-rent trips are Southwest Oregon Regional (OTH) in North Bend and Rogue Valley International (MFR) in Medford.
