Good question! As of 2018 the camping was $15 a night. You might want to call the Parks office at 503-397-2353 to check and see if that’s still the current cost.

Has anyone ever seen a dipper there? It’s my favorite bird but I guess it’s too busy the in summer for them.

I’m not sure. I’ve seen dippers in several places along Scappoose Creek on the east side of Scappoose-Vernonia Highway, but I can’t remember seeing them on the East Fork Nehalem River over there on the west side where Scaponia Park is.
