Best Campgrounds near Beaverton, OR

The Portland metropolitan area features several established campgrounds within 30-45 minutes of Beaverton, Oregon. Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground, located near St. Paul, provides year-round accommodations for tents, RVs, cabins, and yurts with full hookup options. For those seeking RV-specific facilities, Roamers Rest RV Park in nearby Tualatin offers amenities suitable for both short-term and extended stays. State and regional parks including Milo McIver State Park and Oxbow Regional Park expand the camping options with more natural settings while still providing essential amenities.

Most developed campgrounds in the region require reservations, especially during the peak summer season from May through September. RV sites often have age restrictions and specific requirements for vehicles. "Clean, quite and well managed. Good for work minded travelers," noted one visitor about Roamers Rest RV Park. Access to most campgrounds involves paved roads suitable for standard vehicles, though some parks like Oxbow Regional Park have more limited RV access due to road design. Winter camping remains available at several year-round facilities including Champoeg and Barton County Park, though amenities may be reduced during off-season periods. Fire restrictions are common during dry summer months, with several RV parks prohibiting fires entirely due to their urban proximity.

Campgrounds surrounding Beaverton generally feature well-maintained facilities rather than primitive experiences. Reviews frequently mention the convenience of locations like Sun Outdoors Portland South (formerly Pheasant Ridge), which provides urban amenities while serving as a base camp for exploring the region. According to one visitor, "The grounds are really nice, the employees are somehow even nicer and always willing to help any way they can." Site spacing varies considerably between facilities, with many RV parks offering limited privacy between neighbors. For those seeking more natural settings, state parks like Milo McIver and Oxbow provide greater separation between sites and access to hiking trails, fishing, and other outdoor recreation. Proximity to shopping and urban conveniences stands out as a common advantage in reviews of RV parks closer to the Portland area.

    Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground

    Peaceful Escape at Champoeg State Park

    Champoeg State Park is such a peaceful and well-kept spot, perfect for both weekend campers and road-trippers. The mix of open fields, riverside views, and walking trails makes it ideal for a relaxing outdoor getaway. What I really like is how easy it is to plan your stay, even using a simple camping trip calculator or planning tool helps figure out travel time, supplies, and costs before heading out. Definitely one of Oregon’s hidden gems for nature lovers.

    Port of Tillamook Bay RV Park

    City Park great for an overnight

    This is a great city run RV park that is next to a small municipal airport and a World War II era blimp museum. Some sites have shade, but mostly open field. I camped here 8/22/25. There were about 20 other campers but there was plenty of space for more. $20 a night.

    Emerald Valley RV Park

    Great stop

    Good stop, showers and bathrooms are clean, A LOT of people live here.... Manager is new and does not really know what's going on, I was told there is a lot of police activity there... Saw a few homeless people and cars with tow tags on em. Otherwise it's clean and safe

    Silver Falls State Park Campground

    Silver Falls Campground

    Very nice campground. Spots have a paved driveway and all seem to be relatively level. Private free hot showers! Right next to the ten falls trail loop.

    Phoenix RV Park

    Nope

    We stayed here for 11 months. We had a problem with our fridge overheating and the compressor being noisy when the afternoon sun hit the front side. We built an insulated box to solve the problem. Painted it. It wasn't an eyesore. We didn't have more than 5 personal items in our lot. Manager made us take it down. Said there would be a spot in September that she could move us to. Was unwilling to switch around someone who wasn't coming in for 2 months. When September hit, nothing happened. She never did move us. But she did move her RV to the prime spot, facing the way that we needed, up front when it came open. Lots of spots with so much junk under their RVs. We had a whitewater raft under ours and were told that we couldn't have it under there. Instead of paying a ridiculous price for a storage unit, we sold it. We already had one in the RV. Head management was coming through in a couple of weeks and she had to make the place look like she actually enforced the rules? Their sprinkler system quit working. The maintenance person put the sprinkler on the grass on the side of us. My window was wide open. Soaked my couch, left a water stain all across the blinds(RV was 9 months old) and the water stained a handmade quilt on the back of my couch. When I called the office the manager told me to stop yelling at her. I guess a loud voice was yelling? The guy said he didn't see that my window was open, yet I saw it was as I drove up. The manager also charged my debit card for our last couple of days/electricity without my permission. When I called to confront her about it, she hung up on me. I had to call my bank to get my card cancelled but the charge went through. Even though she sent me an email saying I was refunded. I am now trying to deal with the head office about her. Rent also going up to$830 a month. For a parking spot and water. No internet. Lots of sirens. Heard gunfire a lot. Not a great part of town. Lots of homeless people, garbage because it's near the can redemption center.

    Oxbow Regional Park

    Most Beautifil Place Oxbow Regional Park

    https://thecelebjackets.com/the-wrong-paris-movie-outfit-collection/

    Recently i visit this place such a great experience, Nestled along the wild and scenic Sandy River, Oxbow Regional Park is a natural sanctuary offering a classic Pacific Northwest escape. The park's 1,200 acres of ancient forest are crisscrossed with hiking trails and provide habitat for elk, deer, and osprey. Visitors can enjoy fishing, swimming, and rafting in the river, or reserve one of its rustic campsites for a truly immersive experience in nature, all just a short drive from the Portland metropolitan area.

    Columbia Riverfront RV Park

    Unexpected gem

    We only stayed a couple of days, but the views, Columbia River waterfront, and open spaces were wonderful. The spaces were a little close, but not enough to make me drop my rating. It's close to home, so we will definitely be back.

What campers like:

What you should know:

  • Noise Levels: Be prepared for some noise at Paradise Point State Park Campground. One camper warned, "It's not the river... It's I-5 which is right in your backyard," so if you're looking for peace, consider this before booking.
  • Limited Amenities: Some campgrounds, like Reeder Beach RV Park & Country Store, lack certain amenities. A visitor mentioned, "There is also nothing around here store or restaurant-wise," so plan accordingly.
  • Site Size: At Sunset Falls Campground, some sites can be small and close together. A camper noted, "The main sites were very small and close together without much privacy," so check the site layout before reserving.

Tips for camping with families:

  • Choose Spacious Sites: Look for campgrounds with larger sites, like Milo McIver State Park Campground, where "the spots are tiny and not easy to fit in," according to one camper. This can help ensure everyone has enough room to enjoy their stay.

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Accessibility: RVers should verify site accessibility before arriving. One camper at Paradise Point State Park Campground mentioned, "We put the size of our RV in the state website and it gave us site 50," which turned out to be a tight fit.
  • Bring Firewood: Many campgrounds allow fires, but you might need to bring your own firewood. A visitor at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park Campground noted, "Currently, fires are permitted, but wood isn't available for purchase," so plan ahead.
  • Stay Connected: Some campgrounds have limited cell service. A reviewer at Sunset Falls Campground mentioned, "No phone reception," so download maps or information before you go.
