Champoeg State Park

I recently camped here, and thought it was one of the best campgrounds I've camped at so far…read more Like most campgrounds in the area, this is primarily an RV campground, but they do have some space for tent campers, as well as a few first come first serve spots for cyclists and backpackers. I camped in one of the six tent spots, and it was really beautiful. It was heavily shaded, and basically right on the banks of the Columbia River. The park is popular for cyclists like myself because it is situated near the end of the Willamette Valley Bike Trail, a 135 mile scenic route. I rode like a few percent of it, and thought it was amazing. I will definitely be finishing that trail this year. The showers were free for registered campers, and were the closest thing to a real home shower I've experienced at any campground so far. I loved how the park was not too far from Portland, Salem, or the Columbia River Gorge. The park rangers were super helpful and informative. I had called with a bunch of questions after having a bad experience elsewhere, and a ranger reassured me they had "a tighter grip on things" at Champoeg, which seemed to be true. The only issue was that, around 3am, I woke up to what sounded like a rabid wolf. It literally sounded like I was for sure about to get eaten. I made a bunch of noise, but it didn't go away. I yelled to the other campers, "There's like, an angry dog outside my tent!?! This isn't anyone's dog, is it?" It turned out to be a raccoon with very labored breathing (along with two other raccoons who were breathing normally). I suspect maybe it had canine distemper. It was being aggressive towards me, specifically. I had to go sit in my car for a while till it left. I'm not sure whether this was because I had accidentally gotten sprayed by the agricultural fertilizer tractor on my way in, or because the camper next to me had left so much food out on her site (which she ended up putting away at 4am). There is a historic store in the park that sells blackberry sundaes that look amazing, but I wasn't able to make it in during their very limited spring hours (I think they closed at 2). Overall I loved everything except the raccoons and would absolutely camp here again.

If you're thinking about taking one of these tours (and I'd advise against it), then call to make…read moresure you're scheduled to go with a trained guide. The night we attended, the owner had so many people signed up that he pawned half of us off on his teenage son and the son's apparent girlfriend. As the teenager-cum-tour guide led led us to a couple of downtown buildings, he stumbled through a few facts about the area architecture, but there were really no ghost stories, and not much actual information about Salem. When the teen did stop to point out architecture facts, he often got confused and muddled. "That building was constructed ... oh, actually, I forget when." "That's a masonic thing. My dad knows about that, but I don't." Occasionally, he was just totally factually wrong. "180,000 Chinese people lived in Salem in the 1800s. It is said that many of them are maybe buried in downtown." "I've been to the grave of Jack the Ripper in Rochester, NY." (Nobody knows who Jack-the-Ripper was.) Occasionally, the teen would check in with his girlfriend. "I forget what else. [Girl's name], have I missed anything?" Meanwhile, the apparent girlfriend slurped a starbucks frappucino. Occasionally, the apparent girlfriend would pipe up. When she did speak, she was more interesting than the teen -- telling a few Non-Salem anecdotes about Abraham Lincoln. At the end of the evening, we met up with the other tour group, which was guided by the proprietor and his wife. This couple (an actor and a spiritual medium) were actually pretty entertaining -- giving a few colorful ghost stories about actual Salem events. Spending time with this trained couple just showed us how much we were missing by going with the teenager and starbucks slurping girlfriend. So, unless you want to spend 90 minutes following muddled and half-forgotten stories, call ahead to MAKE SURE you are actually going with the adults.

Failed not once but twice on us!…read more This is where this company is based is in Salem OR whether you book for the Reno NV, the Carson City NV, or the Virginia City NV haunted walking tours. First of all, before I even get started with my rant, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME or MONEY WITH THIS COMPANY. They do not come through for you. In our case, twice a disappointing no-show of the tour guides! First booking was on April 26, 2014 we tried for the Reno NV haunted tour. Got there early to the location we were supposed to meet, even got a phone confirmation 10 minutes prior to the tour was supposed to start at 8:00p, waited for 30-min but the tour guide never showed up. It was only me and my hubby on this tour so maybe that's why they cancelled on us... but still! We were scheduled and got our phone confirmation. We called the following day to complain and they apologized and we were promised a free tour of any choice city we want aside from the Groupon deal. Yay! So I booked on-line using the Groupon deal and I was supposed to call them to set up the free tour. So, let's try this again... I booked online for the Carson City tour using the Groupon deal which was supposed to be last night, July 19, 2014. Guess what, another no-show! This time there are now 15 people pissed as 13 others showed up for this tour aside from us and some even coming from as far as San Francisco and Bay Area. Furthermore, all of us received email reminders confirming our tour the night before: "reminder about your upcoming activities." and at the end of the email "Have fun!" Just can't believe that this would happen to us twice! I'm sure we would get refunds from Groupon but it's just bad business on their part to not even give us a courtesy phone call that the tour would be cancelled or rescheduled or delayed or SOMETHING! The time and money spent to make it to these places coming from a distance are one thing but to be disappointed twice is even worse! How can we book our free tour if we couldn't even get a first tour! I read all of the reviews given by other Yelpers below and another disappointing thing had we completed one would be that the tour guide would have little or no knowledge of the history he/she would be giving a tour for. FAIL! One star is too nice to rate this establishment... they owe me a couple of stars! Ugh! Review #0217
