Best Campgrounds near Sherwood, OR

Camping options around Sherwood, Oregon range from established RV parks to state park campgrounds within a 30-minute drive. The area includes Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground with tent, RV, cabin, and yurt accommodations, while Sun Outdoors Portland South (formerly Pheasant Ridge) in nearby Wilsonville caters specifically to RV travelers. Several parks offer year-round availability, with others operating seasonally from spring through fall.

Reservations are highly recommended at most established campgrounds in the region, particularly during summer months when tourism peaks. Most developed sites provide electric hookups, water, and toilet facilities, though amenities vary significantly between locations. RV-friendly options like Roamers Rest RV Park in Tualatin and Jantzen Beach RV Park in Portland provide convenient access to urban amenities. State parks like Milo McIver generally offer more spacious sites with picnic tables and fire rings. "The spaces are quite tight! Considering the location and appreciating the fact that they are one of very few RV parks in the Portland area, I can understand why," noted one reviewer about Roamers Rest.

Several visitors mentioned the well-maintained facilities as a highlight of camping in the area. Campgrounds like Champoeg State Heritage Area provide access to historical sites and recreational trails, while properties such as Tranquil Orchards and Wine Tours combine camping with vineyard experiences. Mixed-use campgrounds that accommodate both tents and RVs are available at Barton County Park and Milo McIver State Park Campground, which operate seasonally from spring through fall. Campers seeking year-round options can utilize Sun Outdoors Portland South, which one visitor described as having "level pads, fantastic landscaping, very nice staff," though others noted the spaces can be cramped. The region's proximity to Portland makes these camping areas popular for those wanting outdoor experiences with urban convenience.

    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.

    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.

    Most Beautifil Place Oxbow Regional Park

    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.

Guide to Sherwood

Camping spots near Sherwood, Oregon typically operate between April and October, with most facilities closing during the wet winter months. Summer temperatures range from 50-85°F with minimal rainfall, while spring and fall bring more precipitation. Private orchards and vineyard camping locations often remain open year-round while state parks follow seasonal schedules.

What to do

Disc golf at Milo McIver State Park: The park features twin 18-hole disc golf courses that draw competitive players from across the region. "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 one visitor to Milo McIver State Park Campground.

Paddle the Clackamas River: Launch directly from Barton Park for a leisurely float or kayak adventure. "Great place to put into the river to float or kayak. Lots of parking. Also a campground. Perfect for a close weekend getaway," writes a reviewer about Barton County Park Campground.

Explore historic sites: Champoeg State Heritage Area offers opportunities to learn about Oregon's pioneer history. "The farmhouse fascinated my boys... they got to water the garden with a water pump and buckets!" shares one camper about their experience at the heritage site.

Wine tours from your campsite: Some campgrounds offer access to local vineyards. Tranquil Orchards provides a unique camping experience where "it is possible to get picked up for a wine tour at the farm," according to a recent visitor.

What campers like

Riverfront access: Multiple campgrounds offer direct river access for cooling off during summer months. "We love to float the river! The play area/park is one of my kids favorite. Lots of area to play. Volleyball, gagaball, playground," explains a visitor to Barton Park.

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathrooms and showers. At Tranquil Orchards and Wine Tours, campers appreciate "TOILETS that flush" and "SHOWERS with hot and cold water," with one reviewer noting these amenities were "desperately needed" after days of more primitive camping.

Bike-friendly paths: Several campgrounds feature dedicated cycling trails. "Champoeg State Park is on the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway, and a great place to camp if you want to do a long biking getaway," shares one camper. Another adds, "GREAT biking trails that are kid friendly."

Urban proximity with nature feel: Camping areas balance wilderness experiences with convenient access to urban amenities. "Located right on the river. We arrived late and were greeted by staff and lead directly to our spot. That was really nice as it was after dark," notes a visitor to Columbia River RV Park.

What you should know

Seasonal operating schedules: Several campgrounds close during winter months. Barton County Park operates only from May 1 to October 31, while Milo McIver's season runs from March 15 to October 31.

Fire restrictions vary: Not all campgrounds permit open fires. At Jantzen Beach RV Park, fires are not allowed, while Tranquil Orchards provides fire pits with grills and fire extinguishers.

Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially during summer. "Booking before arrival is necessary (we just booked on Airbnb 2 hours before)," advises a Tranquil Orchards camper.

Airport noise: Some campgrounds experience aircraft noise. A Columbia River RV Park visitor mentions "Air Force jets that fly overhead occasionally in the morning," while another campground notes it's located "near a small airport and highway."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. "The campground is very well laid out and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails right from your campsite. The hosts are super friendly and helpful," shares a visitor to Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground.

Heated accommodations: For families with young children, heated yurts provide comfort in cooler weather. "The yurts are heated, and a couple of them are pet friendly, which is great for us! There is a small table in each yurt," notes a Champoeg camper.

Swimming options: Multiple campgrounds offer water recreation. Jantzen Beach RV Park features "three pools, playground, and basketball hoops. Plenty to check out and explore for them even if this was not your typical 'campground' experience," according to one family.

Loop selection matters: Choosing the right camping loop can improve your family experience. "Loop B is highly our favorite because it is smaller and more private and close to the river. We'll go back year after year. Our kids had a blast!" writes a Champoeg visitor.

Tips from RVers

Age restrictions: Some parks have RV age limitations. "They also have RV age limit of 2010 but they allowed pictures before turning me down. Yay we got approved!" explains a visitor to Roamers Rest RV Park.

Space considerations: RV sites vary significantly in size and privacy. "The spaces are quite tight! Considering the location and appreciating the fact that they are one of very few RV parks in the Portland area, I can understand why," notes a Roamers Rest reviewer.

Convenience factors: Some RV parks offer excellent urban access. "This RV park is more like a glamorous parking lot. Everything is paved, there are no fire pits, and the spaces are very tight," explains a Sun Outdoors Portland South visitor, adding "We really only stayed here because it was the only availability we could find in the Portland area."

Water pressure issues: Variable utility quality affects some parks. "Water pressure is the lowest we've ever experienced. Not sure what's going on but all of the folks we've talked to are experiencing the same," reports a Jantzen Beach RV Park camper.
