TravelerBattle Ground Lake State Park Campground
We camped here for 4 days, rangers were nice we hauled in our wood since we didn’t want to buy a lot, and can’t gather wood there. Plenty of trees between campsites, The Bathroom and showers were really nice and clean!! lake was also nice but small. Enjoyed our stay!!

RangerRock Creek Campground - Yacolt Burn State Forest
This site is great! Lots of rules listed but not enforced, would recommend having the discovery pass though as signs are prevalent. If you can avoid going the route alongside the correctional facility, you’ll have much less dirt roads and pot holes. There isn’t room in the non horse sites for a rig more than say 25 feet long. No cell service or Starlink, but if you drive to a clearing nearby you can find a satellite .

Loudest "resort" rude management
Planes, trains and automobiles....oh did I mention nosy neighbors and rude office staff? Sharon and Erika are unapproachable and judgemental office slime. Skip this place. And the pictures LIE!

Silver Falls State Park Campground
Beautiful Forest
Beautiful camping sites. Very busy. Lots of families and people. Roads are very windy and curvy be extra cautious. Wish we had more time so much to explore. If you bring your dog, you will be very limited on where you can hike too. RV sites are pretty private. Bathrooms and showers look brand new. And Camp post are extremely kind and polite.

Beautiful spot
The road wasn't to bad getting there. There were a few spots in the campsite. River feet away, berry patches close. No cell coverage.
Jordan C.ScoutJantzen Beach RV Resort
Nice near city of Portland stop
This sounds like a pretty mixed experience at Jantzen Beach RV Resort. The three heated pools, playgrounds, fitness center, and river access definitely make it appealing for families and longer stays, and having full hookups with level paved sites is a real plus. I also like that the mature trees provide some shade and that the shoreline paths give campers a chance to enjoy the Columbia River without having to leave the property. At the same time, the constant traffic and airplane noise would probably be something I’d want to know about before booking. The low water pressure mentioned in the review is another practical concern, especially for RV travelers who expect reliable hookups. They closed the swimming pool a month early although it is 90f in Portland. The combination of permanent residents and overnight campers also seems like something that could give the park a different atmosphere depending on the site and time of year. The location near Target and the freeway sounds convenient, but Portland rush-hour traffic could definitely make getting around more difficult. Priced at$85–$100 per night, many long-time visitors believe the value has decreased and are opting to seek alternatives. Overall, Jantzen Beach RV Resort seems to offer plenty of amenities and a convenient location, but travelers looking for a peaceful, quiet campground may want to keep the noise and urban setting in mind before reserving. The comparison with Columbia River RV Park would also be helpful for anyone deciding between the two.

So lush
The road is easily traveled, though there are only a few sites. Some by the river were already taken when I got there but omg gorgeous. I’ll definitely be back.

What to do
Disc golf courses: L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park offers competition-quality disc golf with twin 18-hole courses. "Home of the annual Beaver State Fling, a PDGA sanctioned National Tour event, Milo McIver is an excellent host for the international players that come to the Pacific Northwest for a chance to win the tournament," notes Steve C. about Milo McIver State Park Campground.
River swimming: Cool off in the Sandy River at Oxbow Regional Park, just 30 minutes from Beaverton. "Given it's late October and a bit chilly out, the campground was pretty quiet with only a few other campers around. We were able to hike the area and enjoy a serene weekend in nature," says one camper. The Oxbow Regional Park features a beach with river access perfect for summer cooling.
Stargazing: The higher elevation at Hares Canyon Horse Camp provides exceptional night sky viewing. "The top of the park shows a vast section of sky which is perfect for meteor shower watching," reports Jeff H. Local astronomy groups often host organized star gazing events at Dairy Creek West — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park during meteor showers or other astronomical events.
What campers like
Secluded hike-in sites: The Brooke Creek Hike-in Camp at L.L. Stub Stewart offers more privacy than standard campgrounds. "The hike in is pretty easy—about a quarter mile down the up. They have carts to help you get all your stuff to your spot in one trip which is very helpful. When we visited, there were at most 2-3 other groups in the area so we were very spread out and had lots of privacy," explains Jenny R.
Boat-in camping: Government Island State Recreation Area provides unique camping accessible only by boat. "We love camping on the island, as you can only get to it via boat so it is not overly populated. There are no fire pits but you can burn. No potable water, so bring your own," advises Fatima H. about Government Island State Recreation Area.
Horse-friendly terrain: Hares Canyon Horse Camp accommodates equestrians with specialized facilities. "The Campground is set up in one loop and offers both single and double sites, ADA facilities, showers, toilets, and trash. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a corral. There is a double corral on the double sites," describes Stephanie Z. about Hares Canyon Horse Camp — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park.
What you should know
Cell service limitations: Most campgrounds have limited connectivity. "Barely got 1 bar of 4g at the welcome center. There's a guest wifi in the parking lot there too but it's 2 miles further to the camp ground and texts hardly go through," warns Zach S. about Oxbow Regional Park.
