Best Campgrounds near Donald, OR

Camp Creek, built in 1936, is one of the first CCC campgrounds in Oregon.  Although not preserved, you can still see and use some of the original stone fireplaces.  Our 25' Class C is  bit tight for some of the campsites, but over-all there are many fine creek-side sites.  We stop here a couple of times a year for an overnight rest, finding it more pleasant and quieter than some of the better known lakeside campgrounds nearby.   Be aware that this campgrounds charm lies in its age, so many of the sites are not particularly level.   

Still it is well kept and we will continue to go back.

We loved this location! We pulled our car up right next to our tent. It was located right by the creek(river) with easy access to the water. Plenty of little trails to explore throughout. There was a bathroom on site that was actually really clean considering (bring your own toilet paper) this would be a great site for a family camping trip or multiple families as there are several sites that kinda intertwine but still are very separate and have some degree of privacy. We plan to return here in the future we really enjoyed it here. Be prepared for zero phone service just fyi. We have T-Mobile.

Well made a reservation while still on the road not knowing that even though we showed up really late and the office being closed didn't think we were able to still have are site available but after looking on the office door and realizing that they had a spot for information and a map of the park it was very simple and really decently priced we didn't have a lot of money and they management was very understanding and was will to work with us they were very nice ppl and they had alot of amenities for the ppl coming to stay like onsite laundry, pool, rec room bathrooms and they are also very conveniently located for shopping and other things to do as well as restaurants. We stand off and on for atleast a month and me and my fiance really liked it and enjoyed our stay. I would recommend this place to any of my friends and family

Fairly quiet even on a holiday weekend. There aren't a ton of sites, and i didn't see anybody in the tent only areas. Minimal day use traffic. Clean toilets. Water available. Just not a ton of privacy between sites. Our site 007 would actually make a good double site with the one next to it (I think 008) even though on the map site 7 seems off on it's own. There is a little walking trail that goes past the creek and was perfect since my dog was injured and we couldn't do much more than that (but there are other trails nearby). Seems ADA friendly. 

The info says to buy firewood from the host, but we never saw a host.

I recently stayed at Jantzen Beach RV Park while visiting Portland, and overall, the experience was quite good. The park's location is very convenient, with easy access to downtown Portland and nearby attractions. The spacious pull-thru sites made parking my RV hassle-free, and the electric hookups worked perfectly. The facilities were mostly clean, and I appreciated the free Wi-Fi and cable TV. The heated pool and walking paths along the Columbia River were nice touches that relaxed my stay. However, the water pressure was lower than expected, which seemed to be a common issue among other guests as well. Security could be improved, especially during late hours. Although I didn’t experience any issues myself, I noticed a few concerns raised by other visitors regarding theft and late-night disturbances. The staff was polite but could have been a bit more attentive to these matters. Overall, it’s a decent spot for short stays if you plan to explore Portland, but there is room for improvement in maintenance and guest support. Read More
