Oregon campgrounds where dogs can't hear fireworks?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good campground within 50 or so miles of Portland that is far enough away so that the noise from fireworks can't be heard over the 4th of July holiday?
I have 2 senior Mastiffs with heart problems, and my female is extremely sensitive to popping sounds.
I have decided to take the dogs out of town camping in our TT this year instead of subjecting her to the terrible fear and anxiety, especially now that her heart is enlarged.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
  • I would think that most State Parks are fully booked in July - you might try Champoeg it's less popular and far enough away that it fireworks may not be a problem.
  • Thanks Oregun. I tried Stub Stewart, all booked up already for the dates I want to stay. I will check Gales Creek
  • Thank you donn, do you think that would be far enough out of town that the big city displays couldn't be heard? Just curious.
  • Any state park, plus the Mult county park east of Gresham should suffice.
