Manicured & Clean, Close to Town

This campground is dripping in green in the spring!  It has a very park-like quality with manicured landscaping and very nicely laid-out sites with plenty of space in between. Each site is paved to accommodate RV’s and campers with electricity and water. The bath house was clean, the water was hot, and they had almost enough towel hooks (can we ever have enough?). 

The park offers hiking, cycling paths, huge picnic areas and a disc golf course, in addition to boat landings for a canoe along the Willamette River. If you want to get out of downtown Portland for a quick and easy weekend away, this might be your place. There are also winery tasting rooms within a few minutes drive.

The park’s proximity to I-5 means that you can still hear the traffic but not so much that it disturbs sleep. Nearby towns of Wilsonville and Newberg have all the usual services. We don’t usually camp at state parks because with our solar powered system, we never need to plug into an electric hook-up, however the nice shower after a few days on the road was really worth it.
