Went camping in the group camping area, and although the bathroom was a long way to walk to, it was such a beautiful quiet spot. After we set up or tent, we had a visitor 💕

Had a great weekend at the Champoeg State Park RV Group Site. Even though it rained this large group site is great! The private Meeting Hall was a plus. Will return in the future.

I love this park. I usually tent camp in the summer but haven't been able to since covid. Last night I rented Yurt here for my first time and it was lovely. Very clean, quiet, and relaxing. Plus my dog was able to join me!

This is a great State Park! It is in a great location, not far from the city but out in the country/ farmlands. They have a nice day use area, disc golf course and so much more! We were here for one night and will definitely come back! They have nice and hot showers, electric hook up/ water hook up sites, park rangers are nice- brought my kids a sticker, bathrooms are open, etc.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Geneine Whiteman | Aug 18, 2019

$5 per day, 9am to 9pm. State park annual pass is only $30. And i believe can be purchased at visitors ctr. We were down by Riverbend and there were some sites wheelchair accessible.

Can you come in during the late night and camp or do you have to wait until the morning when someone is available?

Skylar Nash | Aug 18, 2019
Rick Dixon | Aug 18, 2019

They have a machine that you can put your payment into and get a receipt if the park ranger is out of the booth, but I'm not positive weather or not they have a locked gate. I don't THINK they do, it sounds illegal to lock people up inside of a State Park.

Is the fishing good here?

Buddy Sparks | Aug 18, 2019
Susan | Aug 18, 2019

I'd say no.

jefferson starr | Aug 18, 2018

It's often difficult to get a site here. Especially on the weekends. If you're bicycle camping, just show up and they'll make room for you. Car and rv camping reservations are highly recommended.

Is there swimming at this park?

Cynthia Burns | Jul 18, 2022
Gwayne Stern | Jul 18, 2022

Yes, there's a dock on the Willamette River. There is no lifeguard, and boats use the dock, including power boats, so caution is necessary. Might not be great for kids.

So you know I've been looking on the websites doing all that and the only thing I've seen as far as a fee is for the extra car fee how much is it for an actual full hookup site fee? I'm not going to make reservation till I know how much.

Carol OLeary | Apr 19, 2022
Patrick Dilley | Apr 19, 2022

Full hook-up sites - $30 - $33 per night Standard sites (electric and water hook-ups) - $28 - $31 Tent sites - $19 Yurts - $43 - $58 Cabin - $43 - $58 Hike/Bike - $7

Is the park open or still closed for maintenance after the ice storm?

Terri Hoffmann | Aug 17, 2021
Champoeg State Park | Aug 17, 2021

Unfortunately, the park is still closed due to the ice storm. Numerous trees came down, many creating hazardous conditions, and water lines have been compromised. The crew is working to at least make it safe for opening, even if there are piles of tree branches scattered about. Check the Champoeg website for the latest status. https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=79 Thank you for asking and supporting the Parks!

DAR cabin was moved some time ago to the Robert Newell House which is owned and operated by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). They are less than a 1/4 mile west of the main entrance to Champoeg State Heritage Area (aka Champoeg State Park). Link to their web site is http://newellpioneervillage.com/ The Robert Newell house was built in 1852 and said cabin, called the Pioneers Mother's Memorial Cabin, was built in 1929 and is currently a museum of pioneer life.

Edwin Ulshafer | Aug 18, 2019
Danya' z | Aug 18, 2019

You can use a campfire, outside; or, you could bring your own hot plate, electric grill, etc... You could also bring your own gas grill for outdoor cooking. Basically, consider it the same as tent camping; although, you have the benefit of plug-in power sources.

Dogs allowed in yurts?
