Champoeg State Heritage Area

    Champoeg is a park that I've been visiting since the '70's.  Until I bought a motorhome, I had never camped there.  The park itself is a great place for family/company picnics, access to the Willamette River, learning the area history, bike riding, and disc golfing.  The campground has two sections.  One is well establised in the trees and features several yurts.  The other is newer and the trees are less established leaving a more open feel.  It features a group of nice cabins. Between the two loops is an outdoor amphitheater.  
     For years the camp has held an outdoor historic pageant of the history of Oregon and the Northwest.  I believe the annual pageant no longer exists, but there is a museum that tells the same story.
