Horse Group at Willamette Mission State Park offers a scenic and historic camping experience in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley, just 8 miles north of Salem near I-5. Spanning 1,329 acres of woodland, wetland, rolling meadows, and working farmland, the park is a natural haven for equestrian campers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The horse camp features dedicated horse stalls and direct access to nearly 6 miles of equestrian trails, making it an ideal destination for riders exploring the region. With water hookups and toilet facilities on site, the campground is also big-rig friendly, accommodating larger RV setups with ease. Beyond the saddle, guests can explore almost 15 miles of multi-use trails ideal for hiking, jogging, and cycling, or cast a line into Mission Lake for bluegill, crappie, and largemouth bass. Kayakers can launch from the Filbert Grove Day-use Area on the Willamette River. 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.
