"Just 45 minutes outside of Portland, and near the town of Estacada, is Milo McIver State Park, which I consider to be a quintessential Oregon State Park: lots of huge evergreen trees, large campsites,"
"Estacada lake is within walking distance, and there is salmon fishing within driving distance inside of the park. There is also a "bat" barn that is close by."

ScoutHad a great time. Very peaceful. No mobile reception.
GuideWe visited again and it was completely full except for one spot where you have to hike in. Not a fan of not having our car right there but it's not so far it's unreachable and if you're really ambitious you can even easily get to the bathroom with a short hike. Other campers were courteous and we never heard anyone else while we were there. The site was super private by the river spacious and beautiful. All around a win for shell rock creek.
GuideThis orchard is shady and very relaxing, although near a small airport and highway. There are showers and flushing toilets. The only downside is it’s a bit dusty being an orchard, so no grass between the trees.
ScoutThis was a super cute and super easy to find spot right off the highway near Government Camp. We had a larger group, so we took the very first spot which had a large flat area and a fire circle, but there were more secluded spots further down the road. Lots of road noise in this specific spot with trucks air breaking, but otherwise very cute!
GuideThe lake is not stocked with fish or even water anymore. You can practically walk across. Kayaks and canoe are great. Nothing bigger. Running water was a plus. No Cell Service.
GuideCamp 10 is small, 1 vault. But sites are large and most are on the water. There is no cell service. There is a small store but bring cash. Rainbow trout everywhere, when we went. Tons of great hiking to the north and south. Need lots of ground clearance or you will bottom out getting to and around the lake. You can get a travel trailer thru Olallie and back out, but keep it small. Recommend 30 or under, 20 or under to be safe. Need to be a pro and again, also need lots of clearance.
GuideWe did a group site and once we got the wristbands on the kids, they went off and explored and had a lot of fun. The staff is #1 safe, then #2 they are super fun. The kids would come back to camp and we'd wash them off, feed them, then they would go back out again. There are no toilets but there are port-a-potty's everywhere. The running water is drinkable. The showers are amazing, 1 quarter per minute. The store has everything but adult beverages. Not for huge trailers and coaches, but you can get a 30' in there just about anywhere. Stay back away from the store to get some quiet, or stay around the store if you want to be in the action. Verizon was available in some spots but not others.
GuideThe location was perfect for us, since we planned some hikes around the area. We happened to be the only ones in the campground the night we stayed so we had free rein of the barn area and it was lovely! We got to shower up and do laundry late into the evening and got to chose a tent area that accommodated our larger tent (about 10’x10’). The resident kitty entertained us as we set up camp, crawling under the tent, in our car, and just being silly! The hosts were super welcoming and accommodating, had a campfire going when we arrived, and even had fresh coffee brewed in the morning! Use of the fridge and freezer to refreeze our ice packs was great! Overall a lovely experience and would definitely recommend to future campers in the area!
ScoutThere are tons of spots here. Some are tucked back in the trees and are more "prime" spots, otherwise there's a huge middle area that tons of cars can squeeze into as long as you don't mind neighbors. The proximity to Trillium lake is of course lovely, but I'm only giving it 3-stars because of a few things... First, there is road noise from the highway. Second, most spots offer minimal privacy. Third, people really disrespect the area. We tried to camp in a spot and someone had literally left their human feces smack-dab in the middle of the campsite... In the site we ended up in, our dog found a bag of human feces buried only 1-inch below the surface of the dirt. She easily dug it up and made a disgusting mess. I never understand how people can disrespect nature like this. It's a good area as a "last resort" in my opinion.
