"If you want to camp in Oregon this is the place to go. There are several waterfalls and hiking trails. You can see wildlife and you can't beat the beauty. You can tent camp and they also have yurts."
"Probably the easiest accessibility to the most awesome waterfalls per few square miles in Oregon. Ample Parking and many different falls and trails to choose from"
"Also, our slides extended well past the concrete pad on both sides, leaving very little room to get around our RV."
"But not near as tight as most KOA’s! I came in late, desperate for a slot as my truck was having serious problems. They leave a notice up front for vacant sites. This was huge for me."
"So much better than those CGs next to highways and RRs"
"Dump station nearby. We were visiting relatives in this area, so really only need a safe place to park the rig. This worked out fine."
"Some road noise since it’s close to the highway."

"As I rode up to the site, I noticed right away that it was not tucked far away from the amenities such as restrooms, and showers. It was part of one of the campground loops."
"Champoeg State Heritage Area is a beautiful and peaceful campground located near Newberg, Oregon."
"Though we were close to the entrance of the KOA, we heard pretty much every vehicle that came in and out of the park."
"Very standard KOA right off the highway."
"Salem campgrounds came a long way it's a nicer place to stay now the Management's great is pet friendly he has showers it's a pretty good size Park and it's right close to the city"
"Close to the airport so early morning air traffic in the skies above the park. There is an early morning train. I am a sound sleeper so didn't hear it but my wife did and didn't sleep very well."
"Very easy access to and from I-5. Highly recommend staying here if in the mid Willamette valley."
"Close easy access to freeway but minimal noise. Full hookups of course, Wi-Fi is strong and fast, 48 channels of sharp cable TV picture."
"Lots of plantings around to add color and texture!!"
ScoutClose to the river, and all the amenities of town.
GuideWe were within the length limit of the pad, however, the approach to the site was really tight. Growth encroached on the approach to the pad, and we found we could not make the turn. I’ve been backing trailers for 20+ years could not fit.
A compliment to the staff, the agent looked for any cancellation but everything was full. This got them the 3 star instead to 1 star rating.
It’s an older park built for smaller trailers, ignore the length of the pad. Think can I make a tight turn?
GuideVery peaceful especially in the tent zone. Most tents I would not want simply becouse they aren’t secluded enough. The zones with more privacy are lower I. I was in camp site I6.
GuideVery nice state park. Most people very friendly. Just like any campground it can be noisy. Make sure you can handle dogs barking.
TravelerLarge campground with tightly packed spots, but clean and quiet at night. Showers were nice and hot. Good access to trails and nice walk through the dunes to the beach.
GuideGreat campground with nicely spaced and well maintained sites. Clean restrooms, laundry and pool on site. There is a small playground too. Close to Corvalis but you do get a lot of road noise. Would come back if passing through the area.
TravelerNot a dispersed camping area. There are several sites with fire pits but most are not accessible because of the deep soft sand and you can see signs of people getting stuck. There's a camp host and when we visited it was $5 a night. It's loud because of ATVs and no alcohol is allowed. Accessing the ocean is a long hike.
TravelerThis is a great campground for families with young kids, but not ideal if you're seeking a quiet escape. I loved the quick walk to the beach and the amazing fossil beds all along the cliffside, that very highly enjoyable. But I found myself pretty irritated back at camp due to how close the sites are to each other and a general lack of etiquette. I didn't see one group of campers in the A loop who didn't have kids, so the vibe was very much that of a playground everywhere including directly in front of my site. A parent played a game with their very loud kid in front of my site that inevitably included throwing a frisbee into the site, and not apologizing for coming into my little area. Basically zero acknowledgement that I existed from any groups around me, I thought it was pretty inconsiderate, but perhaps I was the one out of place. And maybe I got unlucky but that neighbor who came into my site was a gentle parent type who let the kid, probably 7, throw huge temper tantrums without intervention. At one point the kid decided he was annoyed with the sounds of other kids playing down the way so he started screaming to mimic them, which the parent allowed to go on until the kid felt like stopping. I fell asleep to the sound of not one but two separate families playing card games in their tents, sounded like we were all camping together.
Despite no fireworks signage everywhere, families were setting them off on the beach…and in general people were extremely loud, hooting and hollering.
Bathrooms and showers were gross, I could tell they weren't serviced enough for the huge amount of people using them.
Perhaps I was there on an unlucky day, or got a poor site. Perhaps there's better experiences to be had here! But...not coming back unless I really need a place to stay because there's not much option in this area.
