What are some other superlative state parks to visit in Oregon?
The Oregon State Parks are nothing short of extraordinary, offering guests opportunities to get up-close with the Beaver State's most glorious natural areas. Oregon is home to more than 100 state parks, in fact, each offering up its own unique scenery and attractions. Some parks are more popular than others, and if you want to take the road less traveled, here are nine of the least-visited Oregon state parks you should consider visiting. Among those on the list we consider "must visits," we absolutely love some of our southern parks. Many of our least-visited parks seem to be in the southern portion of the state, in fact, and Goose Lake State Recreation Area is one of them. You'll find it literally right on the Oregon/California border, on the east side of Goose Lake (pictured above). Enjoy all the amenities of home away from home with 42 electrical sites and hot showers, but revel in nature's beauty when you see the large herd of mule deer who tend to spend a lot of time hanging out in the campground.
What are some of the best campgrounds in Oregon?
Camping and Oregon go hand in hand, Life can be a lot sometimes, and spending time in nature truly is the best kind of medicine. Here in Oregon, there are seemingly endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, including many state park campsites that are open year-round. One of our favorites is Unity Lake State Recreation Site, an oasis of green in Oregon's high desert that offers wonderful water recreation to boot. The small campground is the perfect jumping-off point for visiting nearby historical sites and wilderness areas. The park offers no-reservation, seasonal camping from April 1-Oct. 31, complete with hot showers and electrical hookups. Another treasure is Ukiah-Dale Forest State Scenic Corridor, a place of old-growth forest, rushing waters, wildflowers, and wildlife. This pristine paradise features a primitive, no-reservation campground for those looking to really get away from it all.
