Excellent State campground, close to Portland, Woodburn and surrounding towns. I have camped in both 'A' loop and 'B' loop previously but this past time in 'B' loop I rated less than 10 because of several noisy tent campers. 'A' loop is more open and spread out and tends to be quieter. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We love this park. It is very scenic with wonderful big sites. Unfortunately it is so popular the full hookup sites are usually booked 9 months out. We had a water/electric site this time. The B loop is best for bigger motorhomes and satellite TV reception is good. Don't miss the Spruce Goose in nearby McMinnville. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great campground. We fulltime and try to stay at State & National parks as often as possible. We have been repeatedly impressed with the Oregon State Park System. During the off season only the 'B' loop of this campground is open. About 1/2 of the 34 site are available by reservation. The hookup sites are all paved w/full hookups (50 amp). The 'B' loop does not have any large trees which worked out well for Satellite TV. We also were pleasantly surprised that our cellphones & Verizon internet service worked well here. A big plus to us is that all the Oregon State Parks recycle cans, bottles and paper. This park is close to the towns of Newburg & Woodburn ( which has a large outlet mall ). There are several good golf courses close by ( a plus for the husband ). Portland is also within a short drive The park itself has miles of hiking & biking trails as well as a very nice visitor center. 16.00 is the off-season rate, in season the park charge 20.00 for hookup sites. We can not recommend this park highly enough. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an excellent park for families with children. It is located on the Willamette river. We only rated this park an 8 due to the restoration work that is going on at the present time taking away from the other wise beauty this park has to offer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent state park campground. There is an "A" loop and "B" loop. The "B" loop had larger sites and some had full hook-ups, but seemed like the "newer" section with small trees and not much shade. The "A" loops had sites that were pretty close together, but tons of big trees. Nice bike trails, and frisbee golf course. I would camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Super clean washroom & showers. Heritage site with lots of historic attractions. Very good bike facilities. Large day use park area with Disk Golf facilities. We will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
