Champoeg State Park is such a peaceful and well-kept spot, perfect for both weekend campers and road-trippers. The mix of open fields, riverside views, and walking trails makes it ideal for a relaxing outdoor getaway. What I really like is how easy it is to plan your stay, even using a simple camping trip calculator or planning tool helps figure out travel time, supplies, and costs before heading out. Definitely one of Oregon’s hidden gems for nature lovers.

I don’t recommend A loop as the sites are right on top of each other, B loop is much better.

Trails are nice, very safe and quiet all around

Park rangers were extremely friendly and helpful. The park is very well maintained. Trails are awesome. The squirrels are fearless and the size of medium sized dogs. Beware of Poison Oak, apparently it’s everywhere. (I accidentally made my wife a small bouquet with some hahahaha) , but seriously the squirrels are huge.

Great campground in the heart of wine country. Has nice spacious campsites with good picnic tables and hookups if you need them. Place is clean and well maintained. Restrooms are very nice. Individual shower stalls are separate.

Champoeg State Heritage Area is a beautiful and peaceful campground located near Newberg, Oregon. It offers spacious campsites for tents and RVs, with clean facilities and a variety of outdoor activities like Outdoor hiking, biking, and canoeing on the nearby Willamette River. The area is also rich in history, being the site of Oregon's first provisional government. Whether you're looking for a quick getaway or a longer stay, this park provides a great mix of nature, history, and recreation.

What a find!!! We love it here. The campground is very well laid out and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails right from your campsite. The hosts are super friendly and helpful.

Champoeg- a gem of Oregon! With its stunning natural landscape and rich history, it not only offers an ideal place to wander but also an opportunity to learn about the past. Outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and exploring cultural heritage make Champoeg the perfect destination for the whole family to enjoy vacations and experience racing in Drift Boss. The combination of nature and history is sure to leave a deep impression on every visitor!

Love the water access here, it’s a beautiful view. Saw a downed tree that looked like a dragon! There’s also stuff for frisbee golf and some other outdoor activities.

A nice spot nearby to Portland. Able to make a day trip on the Columbia River Gorge. Sites in Loop A are close together and pretty open, but sites in Loop B are much further spaced and more private. Nice enough place to visit and spend some time, but not sure if we'd go back with other places around.

Facilities: Showers and bathrooms were good, separate shower rooms, no backup pit toilets (an issue when the water went out one day), a lot of good trails for hiking and biking with the dogs

Cell Service: Good enough Verizon and T-mobile to work remotely

Starlink: While we didn't need to use it, some sites were using it nearby and have a clear enough view to probably make it work

Solar: A few sites, primarily in the B-loop, are open enough for solar in some way

This was the first campground I went to using this app and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. The tent sites were clean as well as the bathrooms and showers. Super peaceful and the park hosts were very nice and accommodating. Will absolutely be coming back!

Such a wonderful and peaceful place to stay Clean, quiet and relaxing

If you show up late for a Yurt rental, things will get hectic real fast! The information on their website conflicts with their actual practices, which is exactly what the Ranger (Kyle Parker) told me, so don't expect a refund or anything like that if you show up and your rental is locked. 

It seems this place is run by people who barely work, so when something comes up, they're grossly unprepared/ incompetent.

Great stay. Park is well maintained.

This is a great place for a relaxed bike ride. Wooded trails, not too hilly. Rangers are super friendly, facilities are clean. Looking forward to going back!

We had a great spot in B-Loop. Close to the restrooms and also close to the off leash dog area. We thought it was very quiet and everyone in the loop was friendly. We will definitely be back.

Great pull thru site and on the end of the loop. It had a big shared grassy area in the middle, big enough that multiple families were out playing games and having fun without getting in each other’s way. The site itself was clean, grass right to the edges of the trailer parking. It’s had a nice, level area for the picnic table and the fire pit was just off of that. Power and water hook ups for out trailer. I would definitely purpose to reserve this site again.

My first RV campground. I purchased my Artic Fox 1150 in Portland and drove directly to this lovely state park so that I could read my manuals and learn how to live in my camper for the next year on a cross country road trip. I learned later that I was a bit spoiled by this first experience. Oregon has done an excellent job with its state parks. Only one loop was open for the winter, but the sites had full hookups and good spacing between sites. I stayed in four different sites over two visits in the month of December, and they were all great. The rangers and camp hosts were all great as well. There was a one acre plot set aside for dogs to run and play….a big plus for me. I was also able to remove the camper from the truck and run errands. I found out later that a lot of places will not let you do this.

This is a great spot for a quick weekend outing if you live near Portland.  Nice hike along the river and interesting history to learn about.  Not much privacy at sites and the cabins are small but the campground is well kept and easy to get to.

Well, we have lived in the Salem area for 15 years and have always said we needed to camp here but could never get a campsite because it was always booked on weekends. Retired this year and we had weekdays open and discovered why this is such a popular camp. This is one of the nicest campgrounds we have ever stayed at. Grounds are beautiful with lots of room between campsites. The hiking and bike trails are great with lots of interesting sites to see. If your into geocaching there are lots to find. We camped at Champoeg State Heritage Area in a Fifth Wheel.

This was our first trip in our new pop-up camper! This was a great campground to try it out in. The sites in A loop are definitely closer together than B loop, but we liked being close to the playground. The bike trails were fun and the fall leaves are gorgeous right now. I was surprised that it was practically fully booked mid-week in Oct!

This camp grounds has walking trails, biking, fishing, big park area. In the A loop camping area it is clean however the sites are open to others.

Big campground with lots of amenities but still a friendly feel and nice spacing. Well kept and clean facilities from bathrooms to dump station. Would definitely come back!

Came here for one night to meet a friend who was camping here and was pleasantly surprised. There wasn't a lot of privacy, but my site was nice and level with a picnic table and fire pit. Electric and water at the site and a very nice, new dump station on the way out. 

Did a walk along the bike path--lots of people out biking. Very pretty and cool on a warm day. Didn't see too many kids. A very nice off-leash area for the dogs. Didn't make it down to the river or the historic site.

Beautiful rv park. Big spaces, pull through and back up. Few sites have sewer but some major upgrades are happening to add more & improve dump station. Great for bike riding. Nice playground for kids. We always try to stay in B loop, tends to be a little bit quiter crowd. Frisbee golf nearby and paved trails all over!

Great historic park with no issues with hookups in the RV area. Spring and summer can be a bug challenge so bring lots of insect repellant!

It sure has been beautiful out. Dog friendly Rv and tent camping. Kids play area. Super nice group camping spots. Loop B is where it’s at. Nice spaced out camp spots in Loop B. Unfortunately we stayed in Loop A due to needing a 30amp plug for our RV. Loop A camp spots are a little close together, though people were respectful. Nice places to hike and play disc golf if your into that. We camped in a 21ft RV spot had full hook ups, easy to back into spot. We would definitely camp here again.

Champoeg has a little everything. GREAT biking trails that are kid friendly. There lots of historical sites around the campground to enjoy as well. Loop B is highly our favorite because it is smaller and more private and close to the river. We’ll go back year after year. Our kids had a blast!

A nice campground, no WiFi and no T-Mobile service though. Close enough to Portland to visit the City when needed.

Try the Oregon Strawberry Shake at Burgerville. Simply amazing.

It fits right in with most state parks. No sewage lines except for a few spots that are almost always taken.

People are great, Park is easy to navigate. A few spots in A loop like A-7, A-21,23 used to be tent sights so they aren’t at your typical “RV Angle” and tougher for long rigs to get into.

Grass, streets and sights are all extremely well maintained. Worth the visit!
