It was in February, after we were settling down from a LOT of cross country (and even international) travel that we decided to try to find somewhere to camp the last weekend in April, when we knew we&#8217;d be itching for an adventure, and we really wanted to take Lucinda the dog somewhere. There were just three spots left at Milo McIver State Park in Estacada, a site we&#8217;ve never been to. It&#8217;s just 50 miles away, in another county. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s an outstanding state park! So much hiking, with beautiful scenery! And there is so much thick greenery between campsites. Definitely one of the best state parks in the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you go: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>take a photo on your phone of the more detailed map of the park that you will find at the information board next to the camp hosts &#8211; it has all of the trails on it. The handout you get from check-in does NOT have all the trails. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>we try to avoid inner-loop campsites because they are usually too close together and people in the outer loop will march right through your campsite on the way to the bathroom. That wasn&#8217;t the case here, where the foliage is so thick and the campground so small. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>just like at most campsites, the hosts do NOT enforce quiet hours. So bring earplugs and hope that the Loud Family nor the Party Group isn&#8217;t there when you are. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jaynecravens\/albums\/72177720316582703\">You can see all of our photos here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More travel advice at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coyotebroad.com\/travel\/\">the travel portion of my web site<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/coyotebroad.com\/blawg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_20240428_131112904-copy-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coyotebroad.com\/blawg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_20240428_131112904-copy-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/coyotebroad.com\/blawg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_20240428_131112904-copy-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coyotebroad.com\/blawg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_20240428_131112904-copy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coyotebroad.com\/blawg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_20240428_131112904-copy.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s really hard to camp at state parks in Oregon: many are fully booked on the weekends six months in advance!
