We stay in the CG regularly .. all are reserved sites til Oct. Loop B has more sun. If you need, the restrooms/showers are spotless. The paved bike path East will get you the 'best ice cream' in Butteville or to the West 'Mother's Cabin' and some valuable history, just to imagine our beginnings. The disc golf course is ALWAYS busy. Such a wonderful place to 'get away' for 2 days or 2 weeks! Try it, you'll like it ... there are tent areas, a few yurts, and a few full HU for RV. Amenities just 5 miles (laundry, groceries, etc) available at either Newberg or Wilsonville. Missing the 5* because the rangers are friendly but haven't found the CG hosts to be such. PS I hate the 'sort of visit' required on this site. We are retired mostly full-time RV'ers.
This is a beautiful park near newberg oregon that has long walking trails along the river. Some of the brush is dense and has poison oak so you have to be careful. There are lots of picnic grounds and open areas also. Nice getaway from the wineries to get a little exercise.
My daughter got married here last summer. We reserved the pavilion near the Monument area. It was a beautiful place for wedding and reception.
I have used and enjoyed everything--River trail, interpretive center, yurts, and cabins. Great cycling, walking, picnic area, and historical tourism. Limited swimming, but close to berry farms!
This is a wonderful park to ride bikes or just walk the several trails. Beautiful scenery and large trees make this a must do if you are in the area.
There's to much to do at Champoeg, and as part of the state park system, it's worth buying an annual state park pass. Lots of walking and bicycle trails, bird watching and activities.This is an easy go to place for us any time we have a free day.
I enjoy visiting the park for hiking and just enjoying the different attractions. The Mother's house is really interesting. The off leash area for the dogs is clean and very spacious. The two I take enjoy the springtime the best, as they can get really wet in the creek that runs through it. A great place for us humans, without the critters, and of course, with the critters.
Oregon state parks are an upgrade for any Californian as they typically offer water/power to the rv/trailer camper. Champoeg is a beautifully configured park, offering nice sites, clean showers and restrooms and miles of hiking/biking trails along the Willamette River. I would give Champoeg 5 stars except that our plans required that we stay there over the Labor Day weekend where we encountered far too many barking dogs and distressingly (incredibly!) rude and noisy families. I hope to return one day, but never on a 3-day weekend.
We stopped here on a geocaching adventure- lots of geocaches here- and really enjoyed walking the trails, too. The visitor's center has a small museum, and a little store with souvenirs and snacks, and a farm garden outside. There are plenty of nice, mostly level, walking trails, and we were amazed at the signs showing the flood levels from the 1861 & 1996 floods. Worth the $5 admission fee if you enjoy the outdoors and learning a little history of the area.
We were looking forward to our stay at Champoeg as it appeared very spacious (which it was), had a disc golf course and was beside a river (for swimming). We were hugely disappointed that there is no where to swim. Yes there is a dock (although we couldn't find it) but you're not allowed to swim from it. And all the other accesses are so steep to get down. Even with all that space, there isn't a playground for kids. Also disappointing. But there is great biking trails and a really cute store that you should visit. Also, there are presentations for kids (we learned about bats). We would stay here again but only if the weather wasn't swimming weather! The people beside brought their own sprinkler!!
