"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."
"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."

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.
TravelerNice pond to camp near, several campsites to choose from and trails to explore
ScoutThis is a great spot if you're in need of an easy escape from the campgrounds world. Didn't plan ahead like we did they probably are available! Privately owned land with two flat spots (named: Light & Sublime) carved out of their mountain haven - long distance views of the ocean through the woods + ocean sunset experience! No rite rings just a simple carved out location to spend the night. $45 cash (preferred) the Slugs came out to greet us in the morning - slugs are a good omen for us so they bring us a lot of joy.
ScoutThe staff have been really nice. And they put on fun events. Looks like they have short term and Long term sites. Very close to beach access.
TravelerThe exact coordinates for this spot are in a no camping zone so I wouldn’t recommend making the drive all the way up to it. We camped off of the paved road on the way up the mountain off one of the dirt roads. Not a bad spot though but saw plenty of people. There was a bear in the morning which was cool.
