With water hookups and toilet facilities on site, the campground is also big-rig friendly, accommodating larger RV setups with ease.

History lovers will appreciate the park's ties to the 1834 Willamette Mission, the first Methodist mission on the West Coast. Don't miss the nation's largest black cottonwood tree—over 270 years old and 155 feet tall. An 18-hole disc golf course adds a playful touch to this diverse Oregon state park getaway.
