CHAMPOEG HERITAGE PARK CAMPGROUND, NEAR PORTLAND, OREGON (SAID "SHAMPOOEY"): GPS 45.2483° N, 122.8942° W

​

Champoeg State Heritage Park (said Shampooey), is only 25 minutes south of Portland, Oregon, which is a great location to access the city.

​

It was laid out well, with ample room for big rigs. We were camped in the B loop (I think we were in B25), pull through area. I wouldn't say our site was "easy" but it wasn't terribly hard either.

​

Overall, though, the campground was pretty easy to maneuver in.

​

I loved the location. It was nice being so close to the city.

​

There was a nice big off leash dog area right near the campground, too.

​

There was only one true hike that we saw, and the ground was very sloppy when we were there from all the rain, so we didn't take on the hike. 

​

Cell service (Verizon and ATT) was adequate, although not super strong. 

​

I would camp here again.
