    Dairy Creek West — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park

    Large level sites

    We stayed in Dairy Creek West Campground. The sites are larger than at most of the Oregon state parks we have been to. The site was the levelest we have ever stayed in, usually there is a slight tilt one way or another. This was dead on level. The area for the trailer is pea gravel with an asphalt parking are in the front of the site. I forgot to fill our propane tanks a did that at the Cheveron in nearby Banks which is 10 miles away. There is no wifi unless you use your own. Cell service seems to be ok. Trash is located at a central area opposite the Welcome Center.

    Road to Snag Lake - Dispersed

    4WD Ideal

    Great camp spot for the night; would have gotten 5 stars had I been able to experience the view. The road in was a little bumpy and in some parts an incline but nothing my Ram 3500 and teardrop couldn’t handle. We followed recommendation from a previous review and followed the road until it ended for the best spot. It was a concrete pad so set up for the teardrop was easy. We were the only campers that we are aware of; very quiet night. No trash on site. Sadly due to the cloud coverage and rain we did not stick around for breakfast but imagine on a clear day a slow morning taking in the sights would be nice.

    Front and 4WD ideal; site fit my 42 foot truck/camper very well.

    Fort Steven's State Park

    Great trip!

    Had the best time! Did much fishing in the surrounding areas,caught bunch of fish off the jetty,went crabbing n fishing in seaside on the bay too. Next year think I'll fish the lake in the park itself. Showers n bathrooms very clean n really good end of a day ritual after getting fish cleaned lol. Beautiful elk n deer visit campgrounds. And most pretty spotted squirrels I've ever seen.

    Silver Lake Resort

    Nice Place - Great Hosts

    This was a great place to stay at when visiting our daughter.  We checked in after hours and the hosts were waiting for us and even opened the store for us to get some ice.  They were very friendly and made sure we had all we needed.  Sadly Silverlake itself is not very clean due to Weyhauser logging they are ruining the lake but if you are staying in Castlerock/Silverlake area I would recommend staying here

    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.

    Sea Ranch Resort

    Small but functional

    Wouldn’t want to be here on a packed weekend but sites clean and generally useable. Would be tough with large RV travel/trailer. Close to town. Bathrooms have been redone.

    Hudson-Parcher Park

    Great for the night

    This campground is actually pretty cute and they have three options on how you wanna camp. You could do tint camp where there’s no water or electricity hook ups, water and electricity or water, electricity, and a dump station. There is a park in the middle of the campground for smaller kids and it’s spaced out quite decently. You can hear traffic from a side road, but nothing that’s too crazy. The restrooms are very clean and the camp post were amazing.
