Yes, the Champoeg playground is *so* cool! My kids love climbing all over it, and it makes a perfect halfway point for a kid-friendly bike ride.

I am not big into disc golf but the hiking and fishing sound right up my alley! I may have to check out this fantastic state park!

Haha, SAME! Traveling with dogs always adds a bit of complication so I’m excited to share dog-friendly yurts here in Oregon.

Yes yes! Yurts are so convenient and make family camping (or camping with anyone!) 100x easier.

You’re welcome! Champoeg is a great combination of the beautiful outdoors (especially in the fall) and state history.

Wow, I’m so impressed you ran a marathon! I hope you had some time to enjoy a glass of wine from the Willamette Valley afterwards! It’s better you booked an AirBnB on your last visit — you don’t want to sleep on a futon after you ran more than 26 miles — but staying in a yurt in Champoeg State Park next time sounds like a terrific idea. xo

Absolutely: National parks get all the glory (and rightly so), yet state parks can be just as wonderful. I hope you get to camp at Champoeg soon!

Champoeg SP is a great place to escape, while staying close to Portland. Plus it’s gorgeous in the fall!

For sure! Yurt camping in Oregon state parks is so comfortable!

Disc golfing is a ton of fun! I typically don’t play a full round these days — just throw a few holes – but I always enjoy walking the full course with my husband, kids and dogs.

Even better that some of them are dog friendly. It’s always tough finding awesome places that are also welcoming to furballs. This sounds like a great state park!
