Best Campgrounds near Sherwood, OR

1,347 Reviews

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.

    Reeder Beach RV Park & Country Store

    Quiet spot on the Columbia river

    Nice quiet campground along the Columbia river in Oregon. Minutes from Portland, with lots of fun farm stands and rural experience.

    Nehalem River Park & Campground

    Great beach access, but prepare yourself for steep dunes - clean campground

    I thought this was a great campground especially for families. There was some noise into the night, to be expected for a campground with so many amenities for kids to enjoy. But I would return because it was so clean and the beach is gorgeous. I wish it was a little more wooded/shrubby between camps, but I didn't feel like I was breathing my neighbor's exhale so that's fine. I saw reviews about the dunes being pretty big to get to the beach and I didn't really believe them until I was heading back into camp at night, yeah that hill is a lot coming back up so beware. I would avoid bringing my grandpa here.

    Milo McIver State Park Campground

    Great location not far from pdx!

    I decided at last minute to get out of dodge! But didn’t want to go far. This campground was perfect. Super clean and close but giving you the feeling of being out deep in the woods. The only bummer is in my app. It said camp fires allowed. And they ARE NOT allowed at this time. The park rangers are super nice and friendly and definitely efficient. You feel safe at this location. Will be back!!!

    Elk Creek Campground

    Beautiful, remote, minimal

    This campground has minimal facilities (pit toilets, no trash, etc). No cell service either (AT&T). Still, it's a quiet, gorgeous area next to a creek. Bring 15$ cash and be prepared for a wonderful time. I actually visited twice.

    Columbia River RV Park

    Columbia River RV Park

    A great place to stop with a motorhome or tent, located on the banks of the Columbia River near Portland. The park is known for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and good amenities: paved parking, electricity, Wi-Fi, showers, and laundry facilities. There are also areas for pets and a place for dogs to run off-leash. Despite the close parking, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. An excellent choice for an overnight stay after exploring Portland!

    Oxbow Regional Park

    Amazing Secret

    Nice regional campground. Has tent and RV spots. No hookups though. Mostly shady sites with just a handful having full sun.

    Restrooms are well maintained and have excellent showers. No coins needed.

    Great access to the river to keep cool in summer. Nice sandy beaches. Park also has a lot of sheltered picnic areas and playground.

    Multi-use trail great for short runs and apparently horses.

    No wifi and we had no phone reception. There are emergency phones installed throughout the park.

    Promontory Park

    Small wedding destination

    We got married here on 8/30/25 It was absolutely perfect. Sky and Phil were our absolutely amazing camp hosts. They were more than help and accommodating. Our day was so special and when we had complications with our reservations they fixed it without hesitation. Sky even brought Jr. Camper art projects for our kids. We had an amazing stay! Our middle son caught not only his first fish but he caught 4 in total. They have electric hot plate stations for community cooktops. The yoms have electricity and bunk beds this has one of our favorite spots.
