We almost skipped Cape Disappointment State Park on our trip to the northern Oregon and southern Washington coast. \u201cIt sounds sad,\u201d was my husband\u2019s concern. But we needed someplace to stay between Astoria and Grayland Beach, so we decided to give it a try. It turned out to be the highlight of the trip! We even stayed an extra day, and enjoyed a simple Thanksgiving meal from our space in the campground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Located on the Washington side of the Columbia, Cape Disappointment State Park has fantastic views of the river mouth, an Interpretive Center, two lighthouses, and miles of rugged Pacific Northwest beaches. There were few visitors during our stay in November, but a campground employee told us it would be bumper-to-bumper cars in the summer and that people booked months ahead to get a campsite. Seems like we are not the only ones who find this a wonderful place to vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
