Isn't that the same weekend as the Shasta Lake Gathering?

It may be, been there several times.
Shasta is a 2 day trip from Washington State, Champoeg is only part of 1 day.
We save 2 days on the road round trip and have a great time.
This will be our 4TH year.

after making my comments about the drive to Shasta thus wondering about where "Champoeg State Heritage" is located on the map --just' outside of Salem, the only thing I found was the "Champoeg State Park" located 30 miles or so north of Salem, 10 miles south of the Portland I-5/I-205 interchange to the west of I-5 at exit M278/9. --Is this where the get-together is being held? Did not find "Champoeg State Heritage" anywhere on my map?? and was unable to open the reservation website posted here. If this is it? If so, I agree this is "just" a bit closer of a drive from our neck of the northern woods, than a drive too Shasta.......... Will have to think about it.......

Thanks for the directions Wolfgang.
From the north you'll see this exit.
We once followed a Garmin direction from the south and were on a long country road for miles.
Exit 278 off I-5 is the best and shortest way to go.
There are signs to the park.
Once in the park go through the first stop, turn right on the second stop & over the small bridge to campground A.
The links in my original post still work for me.
It's a state park and they have a curfew of 10 pm, so we try to be considerate of other campers not in our group, and... the 2 campsite hosts.
