Maryhill State Park was acquired by lease from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1972 at no cost. Sam Hill, considered a local eccentric, built a "castle" for his daughter, Mary, on a hill, and named it "Maryhill." He designated the beautiful building, originally designed as a family home, as an art museum before the end of its construction. Mr. Hill built a full-scale partial replica of England's famous Stonehenge one mile from the state park. He also tried unsuccessfully to establish a Quaker colony in the community in the years preceding World War II. Both Stonehenge and the Maryhill Museum of Art are open to the public.

When I was growing up My Family and I would come here for vacation every year, it was My Dads favorite place to camp. We loved agate hunting and just hanging out together. So many great memories come from Maryhill, I pray it, the museum and all stay safe from the fires.
We spent one night here in May, 2017. The park is over-priced ($40 for a full hook up RV site). We had just spent almost 2 weeks at Oregon state parks for $30 a night. It is also under maintained. The grounds were a sea of uncontrolled weeds and our fire pit was full of trash and twigs. Shabby. I would not recommend this park.
