$22 - $33 / night
"Situated at the eastern end of the Historic Columbia River Highway, the park also marks the eastern end of the popular "Waterfall Corridor" that begins at Crown Point and includes the majestic Multnomah"
"All are very close to the highway so you will hear road noise and trains thundering past on the adjacent tracks."
$25 / night
"Close proximity to Multonomah Falls. Pros - bathrooms with electric outlets, free showers, deer come close and are fun to watch, quiet & fairly private stay."
"There is distance between you and other guests but if you want to meet your neighbors you can. They have ADA sites, a lake, play grounds and a welcome center."
$45 - $125 / night
"I have kind of a love/hate thing going on for Lost Lake Campgrounds.
Pros: It is beautiful. There's a reason it's one of Oregon's most photographed sites."
"Lost Lake Resort & Campground is somewhere we go at least once each summer. It has that nostalgic summer-camp vibe. A little more spendy than your typical Oregon campsite, but serene and private."
"There is a playground onsite for those with children and plenty of bike paths and walking paths to keep you busy."
"We were parked next to the bathroom that was in the area and the facilities were very clean. The river that runs along the property was very beautiful."
"The climb up the rock is through a well-built trail. It can get narrow at spots and not for those who fear heights. The view at the top, however, is amazing."
"We didn’t have any issues at the site, but noticed that spots RV4 and RV5 were relatively distanced from each other, while spots RV1-RV3 were pretty close to each other."
$8 - $78 / night
"Just 45 minutes outside of Portland, and near the town of Estacada, is Milo McIver State Park, which I consider to be a quintessential Oregon State Park: lots of huge evergreen trees, large campsites,"
"Estacada lake is within walking distance, and there is salmon fishing within driving distance inside of the park. There is also a "bat" barn that is close by."
"In the morning we walked to the semi private beach spot, a tired swimming hole that is great for kids."
"We got lucky and scooped a very secluded camp spot close to the bathrooms. The firepit was scooped free of ashes and well kept. The site was pretty much completely debris free."
$15 / night
"But nice hiking trails near by. Close to highway so can be kinda noisy. Very close to Portland. Camp host could pick up more garbage though."
"Near the Hood River and a short distance to Mt Hood trails and surrounding"
$28 - $81 / night
"Close to Portland so it gets a lot of day traffic. Access to river so it has summer activities. Sites for large get togethers."
"The kids enjoyed the playground and biking around the loop. The river access down at the day use was lovely. All the park staff were friendly."
$27 / night
"There is a train that runs along the back of the campground which can be loud if your site is close by. The train noise did not bother us in the center of the park where we were."
"This camp has RV sites, tent sites and beautiful cabins with porch swings and is located close to the Columbia River waterfalls."
ScoutThis campground is PERFECT for couples to reconnect and recharge! The sites are large, privacy is pretty good and you can walk to lake in a few feet from every site. We hung out at the lake completely alone for DAYS! It does get chilly at night but this is by FAR our favorite campground!
TravelerThe road is a bit more than a gravel road, there are some large rocks and deep ruts to avoid. Campsites 16-21 are all on a larger lake with great swimming and paddling opportunities with site 17 easily being the best site in my opinion. Feels very remote, can be a bit colder due to altitude, but very beautiful and tons of wild huckleberries everywhere! Weren’t able to have fires due to restriction, but it’s a go-to campground for me!
ScoutSteven, camp host, is 5 STARS. He is doing the best he can with what he has to work with. Which is a very old network of 3 bathroom facilities that are beyond gross despite best efforts. It is mostly about the age of the structures. They are cleaned regularly daily and we saw this over a 3 night stay. But with the rowdy young adult day visitors and age of the facilities only so much can be done. The pools above the falls, jumps into the lower pool and the falls themselves are amazing, mostly after Noon when the sun comes onto the river.
Speaking of the day visitors. It was busy every day despite staying Sunday through Wednesday but it was hot and mid summer, so OK. Most visitors were families but holy crap the the broccoli head, beat up A4 crowd with leaky oil came rolling in with their party crew around 3pm each day. They are very impressed with themselves, their mediocre cars and copious amount of smoking. Is weed allowed on Federal Land?
However, these were the least of the jerks. On the third day, what seemed like a full on cult (because we are talking a group of 30) showed up to hog the lower level. We literally walked up behind one of the young women as we came off the trail, naked in a smaller side pool pooping and urinating right in front of us and our teens as we came off the trail. Awesome! My son got a free show of mostly naked off duty strippers(?) and their half dozen or so Rajneeshi looking handlers. I have pictures but I don't think it's OK to post them! Also, ya'll's EDM you were blasting in nature SUCKED and I like EDM.
GuideGreat campground in the heart of wine country. Has nice spacious campsites with good picnic tables and hookups if you need them. Place is clean and well maintained. Restrooms are very nice. Individual shower stalls are separate.
TravelerCampsite has a well maintained dirt road connecting it to the highway, has a beautiful overlook of a creek
ScoutI love how Vanessa mentioned the creek access from that first campsite! As someone who's been searching for dispersed camping spots with water features, this feels like such a gem. The fact that Forest Service regularly patrols is actually reassuring rather than intrusive- I've been to some dispersed sites that felt a bit too"wild west" if you know what I mean. I've been using offline hiking apps for my trips in the Gifford Pinchot, but I hadn't considered Little Soda Springs until now. That tip about downloading maps beforehand due to no cell service is crucial- learned that lesson the hard way last summer near Mt. Adams! Anyone know if the creek is suitable for filtering drinking water, or should I pack in all I need?
ScoutBusy campgrounds, but nice. Variety of sites from small and shaded to open and sunny. Both day use and river access from the camping area were lovely and the water was perfect to cool off after a hot day.
Hosts were helpful. Bathrooms and showers were clean.
GuideI decided to come back thinking I'd stay in the same spot as last time, but it was occupied. Thank goodness! Because I found THE most amazing spot!
GuideOnly stayed one night wit RV trailer. Nice park with sufficient site size. Many sites were reserved but empty which made it less busy. Falls were amazing. Road in from either side is rough so allow some extra time for the drive. Both Google Maps and Wave were 1.5hr off on estimated time for the drive (4 hrs from Tacoma). There is no electricity or dump station. The Upper loop has a hand-pump well for water. Multiple outhouses are around the sites.
