We could hear the gunshots getting closer and further away and then suddenly they were very close. Lisa and the other students heard Breivik try the door. When he could not get in he fired two shots through the window before walking off. The 47 students spent more than four terrifying hours inside the cabin. During that time they were receiving frantic calls from their families, who had warned them that the gunman was reportedly posing as a police officer.
The group had also decided that if Breivik entered the cabin they would lie still and pretend to be dead. Lisa said: "The last message that I got from my family at the time was 'don't trust the police they say online that he's dressed as the police so don't trust anyone who says that they're from the police'.
Lisa said that at this point the police suddenly stormed the cabin. She said: "They told us to get on the floor with our hands above our head.
We thought these people are here to kill us. Lisa said she later learned that officers stormed the cabin unaware whether or not Breivik was inside with hostages.
Then they asked is he here and I thought 'who's here - it's the terrorist' and then we understood they're not here to take us, they're actually looking for him. As soon as he was confronted by officers, Anders Breivik immediately surrendered. He was later jailed for 21 years following a trial that Lisa decided to attend. She said she was struck by how small Breivik appeared in the dock and how sad it was that such a person could cause so much harm.
For two years following the massacre Lisa tried to continue her life in Norway. Activities and Amenities. Within Facility. Less Than 1 Mile.

So did you know about the loss of life on this Oregon campground? This happened a long time ago, but it definitely makes you think twice before spending the night out at Smith Rock State Park!
And we have one: the Legend of The Bandage Man … but just be warned: this one is super creepy. During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date. Smith Rock State Park is a state park located in Oregon's high desert. Dump station is large and well maintained.
Loved our stay. Open spaces clean and roomy. The general area was a stopover along the Oregon and California Trails. The CG is open year-round and has 42 serviced sites of various lengths, plus 4 rentable cabins. Amenities include showers, flush toilets, and a dump station. Guests have access to a boat ramp and dock. Pros: Well-managed. On-site dump station. Most sites generously spaced.
Modern restroom with flush toilets. Nice views of the Snake River from most campsites. Several miles of interior lanes and trails to walk and hike. Verizon service 3-bars. Most sites will have some tree cover but not enough to prevent satellite connection. Cons: Not all sites are easy to access or level.
For example, our site was a ft pull-thru, but it was only accessible if I backed into it. Reservations suggested on weekends from May through September. Willingness to Return: Yes! For us, not a destination CG, rather an ideal CG to spend a night or two when traveling through or exploring the area.
Nice State park, but many of the spots on a steep slope. Beautiful view of the Snake River if you camp on the Lower Loop. But the best thing were the showers! Spacious, plenty of room for getting dressed afterwards without a wet floor, honestly better than most commercial "resorts"! Tip for Other Campers: Hiking; the park is really large, but bug spray a must; ticks all over! Very convenient location just off the highway. Came here in the middle of the week, not full, but there were more campers then I expected.
That said, I have reserved ahead of time. I wanted the Lower Loop, but the sites I wanted on the river side with a view were all occupied so I choose the Upper Loop site 13, which is at the very top, with a panoramic view of the campground and Snake River below. That also meant I got a bit of wind gust and some highway noise as well.
So clean that I have no second thoughts on using it on multiple days. I would rather have an old clean restroom than a newer dirty smelly restroom. Kudos to the maintenance crew on keeping the facility tidy. If I were to car camp or in a tent, I would pick a site adjacent to the restroom without hesitation.
Now, I wasn't there on the weekend so I couldn't tell you how it would be when the campground was full. If you have kids, they would have fun just riding their bikes up and down the campground.
I rode my mountain bike all around, at various trails by the campground, to the head of the Oregon Trail, as well as to Register Rock a few miles from Massacre Rocks without any problem. Too bad they don't have a swimming area, otherwise it would get 5-Star from me. Great safe, easy access campground for the short quick get away.
Convenient to freeway. A bit difficult to find the office upon entering which was problematic as tight quarters and snowing! Our space was very difficult to get into in our 42 foot rig and we had a bit of a time getting level.
We did have a gorgeous view though! The park itself has some stunning views of the Columbia River and wonderful walking paths. I doubt we would stay again just because the spaces for big rigs are just not big enough, but it would be a great spot for those with smaller rigs and or trailers. Great staff, very friendly! Very historic park. For larger rigs sites are limited. We were in Lower campground which is closer to Snake river. The site was somewhat level; had to use a lot to get level and front end jacks up high.
Roads are gravel. If there were a lot of traffic it could be dusty. Sites are spaced apart, which are nice and private. Good power and water. Roads are a little narrow. We would stay here again. We camped in a 36ft 5th with 3 slides and it work out well. Staff seem to check the campgrounds on their rounds.
