Devil’s Lake State Park campground to close for construction

Devil’s Lake State Park’s campground in Lincoln City will close Dec. 1 for restroom construction. It will not reopen until May 1, 2011.

Contractors will be building two restroom-shower buildings, replacing structures that have been in service since the early 1960s. Oregon Parks and Recreation Department lottery fund dollars will pay the combined $595,000 construction cost.

Usually open all year, the campground has 87 sites and 10 yurts on the northwest shore of Devil’s Lake off U.S. Highway 101 at 1452 NE 6th Drive. Beverly Beach State park, seven miles north of Newport, and Cape Lookout State Park, 36 miles north of Lincoln City, are the closest state park alternatives that offer year-round camping.
