Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Cascadia State Park adventure.
This tranquil park has waterfall hikes, natural waterholes, and woodlands. Â
At the meeting point of the South Santiam River and Soda Creek, with a backdrop of the Cascade Mountains, Cascadia State Park is an idyllic retreat for campers. Walk the forest trail to Soda Creek Falls, follow the 19th-century military route of Santiam Wagon Road, then picnic beneath the shade of the Douglas fir trees. There are plenty of ways to get on the water too, whether rafting along the river rapids, cooling off with a swim in the riverside swimming hole, or fishing along the river. Seasonal camping is available at Cascadia State Park Campground near the east picnic area.
Camping is only possible in Cascadia State Park during the spring and summer months, and spaces can fill up quickly, especially in the busiest months of July and August. The campground, group camping sites, and east camping area are open annually from May 1 through the end of September, the best time for water activities. Winter visitors can still make use of the year-round west picnic area.
