Camping Rates
Smoking in Oregon State Parks is allowed only in personal vehicles, RVs,
campsites and portions of day use parks along state highways that are
designated as safety rest areas by the Oregon Department of Transportation.
A six-mile round-trip hike to Heceta Head Lighthouse begins
near the campground on the Valley Trail segment and follows
China Creek to a meadow. Keep an eye open for
Roosevelt elk and other wildlife. After crossing the highway,
you meet up with the Hobbit Trail, which leads to the beach.
Watch for the junction with the Heceta Head Trail, a twomile segment of the Oregon Coast Trail. Hike this steep,
winding path to the lighthouse to enjoy outstanding views.
Western snowy plovers nest along some parts of the
Oregon coast. Watch for special signs during nesting season.

Heceta Head Lighthouse
Perhaps the most photographed lighthouse on the Oregon
coast, Heceta Head Lighthouse sits 205 feet above the Pacific.
Its dramatic cliffside setting is the focal point of Heceta Head
Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint, a day-use area with picnic
sites and access to an inviting beach and tidepools.

The lighthouse was built in the early 1890s, and its light began
shining March 30, 1894. The beacon was
automated in 1963, eliminating the need
for an on-site keeper. Its first-order EnglishPacific
