About Fort Clatsop

Fort Clatsop is where the Lewis and Clark Expedition camped from December 1805 to March 1806, after building the fort in just over three weeks. Today you walk through a rustic log replica that about 700 volunteers raised in 2006, after fire damaged an earlier 1955 reconstruction. The site is part of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, and the visitor center sits beside it. Note that the park does not accept cash for the entrance fee.
