Champoeg State Heritage Area

This state park includes many actives: Frisbee golf course, fishing, hiking, boat dock and picnic areas. There are two camping sections within this park. One section is heavily wooded, and the other section in an open field. We found the section in the open field of the park to be our favorite with better views and most sites included sewer hookups. As you enter the park, a gift shop and museum are at the entrance. Our site was level. Only a few sites within the wooded area were able to a DirecTV satellite signal. Our Verizon phones got a weak 3G signal. Our family is currently traveling this beautiful country via RV style, and have been RV'ing for many years. Therefore, we have an idea between high-standard qualities and poor quality. We utilize Trip Advisor to assist us on locating top attractions, tasty restaurants and exciting locations within our wonderful country. Follow our adventure via Facebook; “Happy Campers 227”.

We came over Memorial Day Weekend 2017 Pros The camp site was close to the river dock. Cons The Oasis group site was nothing like an oasis! We had to hike all of our stuff in. There were box elder bugs EVERYWHERE!! We came back at lunch time to make sandwiches and they had found their way into tents (hundreds of them) they would fly in our hair, clothes, face, glasses lenses. We couldn't get away from them. They were swarming everywhere! They laid eggs on clothing, our food and who knows what else. Inside the tent they got on our clothes, sleeping bags and pillows. There was some absurdly long grass that had just recently been cut and there was hay type stuff everywhere in our campsite. It got on our clothes, hair, feet which then brought it back into the tents. Anyone who had allergies needed to take something 24/7 religiously to get relief. There were no dumpsters or showers in the group sites and the only bathroom was next to the day use area and was an outhouse. We had to drive to the individual camping area to find flushing toilets, soap and showers. A woman came the the day use area around sunset on one of our 3 nights there to get high and then started yelling at our camp site because no one is helping her. The guys in our group were up dealing with her and police for hours and didn't get back to the camp site until after 1 pm. There was no ranger or anyone from Champoeg there. The only great thing about this group site was the company and nice weather and I can go somewhere else for all of that. I would not recommend Champoeg's group sites! I can't say anything for the individual sites because I haven't been there but I most likely won't try it after the experience I had with the group sites.

I love this park. Went for a picnic one day, and decided to come back for the night and rent a cabin. The visitor's center is really cool and has a lot of history information. The whole park area is a 615 acre historical place.
