Viento State Park Campground
Close to trains and traffic
This is a nice campground with lots of trees and shade but it sits between I-84 and the Columbia River which has a major train line so it's not necessarily a quiet campground (trains run all night). No dump station available but we had electric and water. Not much grass anywhere and things were really dusty due to dryness and heat of the summer. You can't see the river from the campground but you can walk to it (or drive to it) and there are several picnic tables near the river. There is a nature trail but it is not marked well at all to find the beginning of it. Convenient to Hood River though and an easy drive to Cascade Locks for ice cream at the local dairy dine.
Oklahoma Campground
Quiet stay over Labor Day
Quiet campground with clean vault toilets. Many of the sites are very close to each other and some do not accommodate even a small trailer. Small stream near by with limited access. Monte Carlo and Monte Cristo trails are close by but were under repair by WTA. There were some mountain lions near the camp while we were there, 2 separate sightings, probably moving because of the work on the nearby trails
Kiwanis Road Free Camping
very convenient & gorgeous waterfall
whole road is paved all the way up & plenty of spots to pull off plus multiple bathrooms! got super chilly even in august but was very cozy in sweats & under a few blankets in the rooftop tent. would definitely stay here again and it's a good option for vehicles w/ low clearance or non off roading folks.
Little Soda Springs Rd Dispersed
Easy Get Away
A couple spots right off the road for car camping or small campers. There was an “official” camp sight more near the Dry Creek Trail (has a bathroom). We opted to walk south along the river to try and find a space. Ended up crossing the river where there are a couple more hidden spots. We found out later that there is a trail right before you cross Trapper Creek that leads you to the spot we were at. There were a few people out and you can sometimes hear cars but overall it was an easy stay with some nice views. The river drowns out most the noise. Would definitely come back here
Molalla Ripple
Space was overbooked
Jim did a great job of communicating and was attentive to all the campers, but they ended up overbooked so we were moved away from the river and into an open field. With no hookups and lacking riverfront, the night seemed over-priced. With van life on site and a full campground, it didn’t have the quiet feel we expected.
NF-65 National Forest Dispersed Site
Don’t recommend
Good luck. This takes you to the middle of nowhere with no camping spots. You’ll have no service.
Scappoose RV Park
New Host at Park, the Park has been cleaned up including restrooms and show
I am the new Park Host at Scappoose RV Park, I have been here for 5 months. I have put allot of time in making the park a safe and clean place for families. Please come take a looked, I have gotten so many compliments on how good the park looks again!
Clear Lake Campground
Decent Camping Location
This is a decent camp spot within an hour and a half of Portland metro. It has limited services, potable water, garbage and pit toilets. The water was nice, plenty deep for paddling or wading. It is pretty small, so not too many sites.
There was a Camp Host present thankfully and daily Sheriff drive by during the weekend. This was welcome due to a few obnoxious party groups. One in particular turned the forest into a rave with lights that flashed into tents, which was irritating. I think the Sheriff spoke to them because they headed out the next day. We had a nice weekend but I probably wouldn’t stay much longer than that in the future.
Aquila Vista Education Area - TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Aquila Vista Education Area - TEMPORARILY CLOSED
The Aquila Vista Education Area being temporarily closed is a significant inconvenience for students and educators relying on its resources. This closure might disrupt learning schedules and limit access to valuable educational materials. During this period, it's essential to seek alternative resources to continue academic progress. For those studying topics such as Alzheimer's disease, accessing well-researched examples and papers, like those available at https://papersowl.com/examples/alzheimers-disease/, can provide valuable insights and support in maintaining the quality of education despite the temporary setbacks.
Panther Creek Campground
Lots of privacy
A nice, woodsy campground, with lots of privacy between camp sites. Nice flat and level outlined areas for us tent campers. Only down side was that it was a bit of a hike to the restroom (the National Forest site map showed one near the entrance where there wasn't one). While I reserved, mid-week there were a number of open sites for those without reservations. Some of the sites are really large and can handle a bigger group. Some PCT hikers stayed here due trail closure further north due to forest fire. Would recommend.
Sunset Falls Campground
A new favorite close to home
Great small campground with easy access to falls. We enjoyed 2 nights. No phone reception, no loud noises, super peaceful.
Hoodview Campground
Superb spot
This is the most well-maintained National Forest campground I’ve ever been to. Even the pit toilets were immaculate! The sites are large and private-feeling, and every site is right near the lake. Some sites are a little close to the main road, but it’s not a heavily travelled road. We were close to it but it was barely noticeable. Definitely on my favorites list now!
Ainsworth State Park Campground
Fine campground
Been there many times for hiking. It's where I went to do the mystery trail. A difficult hike not for the faint of heart. A bit hard to find but very rewarding. There's a registry on the trail also. Not many trails have one. I believe it is maintained by the Mazamas.
Portland Fairview RV Park
Great visit
Good times!
Oxbow Regional Park
Loved it!
Nice and peaceful, I always appreciate a campground with quiet hours to enjoy the peace and quiet of outside. Additional plus that dogs weren't allowed to disrupt the wildlife and bark at the Deer etc.
Home Valley Campground
Love it!
My husband and I have stayed here a few times and are getting ready to stay again. The price is very affordable and the campground is clean, the showers are nice and hot and the location is perfect for plenty of hiking and fishing adventures or just staying at camp and enjoying the river. The host Chris and his wife are amazing!
Lewis & Clark Campground & RV Park
Unremarkable
Expensive in my opinion for what it was. I stayed "by the creek...." lol. Good enough for a night. Bathroom was fine. Can't say I would stay here again with the wealth of other options in the area.
Clear Lake dispersed camping
Pretty good
There's lots of other pull outs on the drive into this spot which are nicer. The road is in bad shape so v slow and not really suitable for cars. Quiet and private. Some trash around
Hoodview Campground
Clean bathroom
Este lugar esta bonito y los baños están limpios a pesar que son de litrinas fuimos un fin de semana y todos estaba tranquilo el lago trasparente este lugar si lo recomiendo 100%.
Champoeg State Heritage Area
Beautiful campground, lots of room for dogs!
Love the water access here, it’s a beautiful view. Saw a downed tree that looked like a dragon! There’s also stuff for frisbee golf and some other outdoor activities.
Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest
Inaccessible and Disappointing Experience at Lost Lake, Oregon
I had high hopes for my visit to Lost Lake, Oregon, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a major letdown. Despite its reputation, this location is far from being accessible for handicapped visitors. The handicapped parking is inconveniently located nowhere near an ADA-accessible lakeside spot. We were forced to camp in the parking lot near a bathroom, which was hardly the experience we were hoping for.
The only positive aspect of our trip was the stunning view of the lake and Mt. Hood, but even that couldn't make up for the numerous shortcomings. The drive and entry cost were simply not worth it, especially considering that most day-use sites are first-come, first-served. By the time we arrived, all the sites that were accessible for someone with disabilities were occupied by individuals who clearly did not require the access.
To make matters worse, the overall organization and management of the site were severely lacking. There was no effort to ensure that handicapped visitors had fair access to the lakeside areas. It felt incredibly unfair and frustrating to see those who didn't need the accessible spots taking them up, leaving us with no options. In summary, if you or someone in your party requires accessible facilities, I strongly advise you to avoid Lost Lake, Oregon. The beautiful scenery cannot compensate for the lack of accessibility and consideration for handicapped visitors. This was a thoroughly disappointing experience that I wouldn't recommend to anyone in need of accessible amenities.
Detroit Lake State Recreation Area
Do Not Book H27
If you’re camping during the summer, this is the WORST campsite we have ever encountered. There is no shade or breeze, and directly next to the main road to Sisters/Bend with significant road noise. We booked two nights and ended up just leaving because of the unreasonable noise and heat.
Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest
Fantastic campground and area
On our way to Alaska for the SF Bay Area we stopped at several different camping locations along lakes and mountains. The only one we went out of our way to stay at when coming back was Lost Lake Campground. The sites are plenty big, have tables and fire pits. The entire area is amply wooded to provide privacy and the sense of seclusion. The bathrooms were clean and always had TP. There is running water spigots dispersed throughout the camping areas. If I'm ever in the area it will be the 1st place I go.
Forest Rd 2730 - Mt Hood NF
Fanastic sunset views of Mount Hood
There's a handful of dispersed campsites throughout NF44 and various side roads. I had several options to choose from and never saw another person. This was on a Thursday afternoon.
Silver Falls State Park Campground
So beautiful, clean, and staff is friendly!
This was one of my favorite established campgrounds I stayed at on my roadtrip through Oregon. The big trees are perfect shade and beautiful. The roads are perfect for biking and there’s a bike trail in the campground that leads you straight to the park. Bathrooms and showers are clean and well taken care of. There is an incredible trash and recycling center at the front of the camper ground. Campsites can be decently close to one another, so not secluded but that wasn’t an issue for me. Obviously with family’s there’s going to be noise early in the morning and late at night so just be aware of that. But I didn’t mind, and wish I could have stayed here one more night. Something I was also pleasantly surprised by was how the trees blocked excessive heat. There was a heat wave going on during the time I was there but I didn’t have a problem at all here. It was such a relief.
John Neal Memorial Park
Perfect overnight spot
Stoped here for a night on a roadtrip and it was perfect overnight stay not too far from the highway. It’s tucked away in a neighborhood but does the job! Bathrooms, playground, gazebo, etc, it’s supplied with a lot of things to make your life easier. Neighbors are close for many campsites, so it’s not a secluded camping experience, but that’s to be expected. I will say that the river access is limited if you’re not staying directly on the river. I was in one of the center campsites and set up a chair at the access point and shared it with 10 other people. It’s a small portion so we were close. But again, too be expected during the summer months and for a campsite like this.
L.L. Stub Stewart State Park Campground
Well maintained
A very nice campground, close to Portland. Well maintained, bathrooms were the cleanest I’ve seen at a campground.
