Champoeg State Park

This park is huge and very well kept up. It's about 12 miles from towns near by so its very secluded. State park employees work very hard to keep the kept up and everything running well they are also very friendly. It fills up fast so make a reservation as soon as you can and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. I hope you get a chance to go friends you'll love it!

Other than no showers it's a very nice place to camp. Highly recommend.

(I’ve only been here once and this review is 80% for the museum, 20% for the park). What a historical hidden gem! Among other things, it was fascinating to learn about the great flood of 1862 that destroyed this former pioneer town. We stumbled across a wandering docent dressed like an Amish that told great stories about the Hudson Bay Company, what the Kalapuya Indians ate and how they carried out controlled burns in the region, etc. I also enjoyed the “pioneer garden” and strolling through an apple grove filled with antiquated varieties. Really nice that you can go for a leisurely walk along the river and see the site where pioneers voted on incorporating into the rest of America, breaking free of British rule. Would also recommend this park for easy bicycling and picnicking.

There isn't a whole lot of camping, but there is a lot more else to do. If you aren't playing frisbee golf, bring a bike or your hiking shoes. There are a lot of trails and history to explore. There really is something for everyone. Including a great natural play park in the campground.

Found a nice dock to fish off of and saw the Oregon redwood trees they're closer than the California border. Still Mighty and beautiful. Great place to camp and fish
