Stub Stewart State Park

[TRDRPR]

Clyde and I just returned from a weekend of camping and mountain biking at Oregon's newest state park.

http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_255.php

It opened last summer, but this is the first time we've had a chance to camp there. The campsites are big gravel areas with fire pits. Right now there isn't a lot of privacy between campsites, but once the foliage has a chance to mature, it'll offer more privacy. There are two camping loops with bathrooms with showers.

The Banks to Vernonia linear trail runs right through the park, so if you like to ride there's plenty of biking to do. The path is paved within the park and then from about 7 miles or so from Vernonia all the way in to Vernonia. It's an 11 mile ride into town. The park has lots of hiking trails and even has a horse camp.

The best part was it was only 29 miles from Beaverton. Would anyone be interested in camping there next June during the summer solstice weekend (June 19-21, 2009)? We can make reservations 9 months in advance.

We may have sold our teardrop, but we're still interested in camping this weekend (6/19-21/2009) with anyone who wants to come out to Stub Stewart State Park. It's summer solstice weekend - the longest day of the year.

Reservations are now open through the state park reservation center for that weekend. The address is http://reserveamerica.com

We're in site 6 in the West Dairy Loop. We'll be there with our new Chalet and our new puppy (who won't be very small by then).

Hope to see you out there.

Hi Clyde and Gretchen,
We were just at Stub two weeks ago in West Dairy loop #12. We also got out of teardroping for a while and fell right back in. We just got back from Champoeg State Park for the first campout with our 3 yr grandaughter. She was fine but Mom on the other hand withdraws or something. Someday we would like to have a teardrop reunion at Champoeg if we can ever get the RV Loop again and hopefully you folks will be able to make it Tear or not.

That would have been fun! Stub Stewert is one park I hope to see soon as it is right down the road from me.

My wife and I used to hike that trail all the time when they were just starting to build that park.

We are camping at Timberlake this weekend out in the Gorge, you guys have a great time!
