"There’s a fenced in dog area and lawn you can walk on leash. The only downside is that the standard sites are small and very close to neighbors."
"It is located right of the interstate but feels secluded. They have both back in and pull through sites, a little tight with neighbors but I was told it is better than other RV resorts."
"The positives outweigh the couple of minor things, so we gave it 5/5. Positives:
- Walkway to Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum."

"Lovely park tucked away just far enough it's like you're miles away but you're just a turn away from town and a stones throw from the highway quiet clean and just big enough to never get lost."
"It was a solid place to stay, surrounded by vineyards and walking distance to a few wineries and a couple of restaurants."
"There's a great dog walk area. Only good things to say. ☺️"
"A well cared for location. I think we got the last space! It’s a busy place. A bit of a head scratcher on what brings people here. Certainly located in and around a number of destinations."
"Park sits right behind the Woodburn Outlet Mall with own private entrance. Off I-5 and convenient shopping for groceries or gas nearby. Close to Portland and Salem. We will miss this park!9"
"Super close to the outlet mall. Would stay here again!"
"If you want to camp in Oregon this is the place to go. There are several waterfalls and hiking trails. You can see wildlife and you can't beat the beauty. You can tent camp and they also have yurts."

ScoutThis was such a cool place to camp. We stayed for a week and loved it! Sauvie Island is such a beautiful place! Watching the giant oceanliner ships sale by on the Columbia River was so cool!!! I can't wait to visit again next year!!!!
ScoutI stayed for a week and it was a great time. So peaceful and they offered fishing, swimming pool and fire pit sights! I will go back again when I get the opportunity!
ScoutThis place was difficult to find a spot this summer for more than a couple days, but I loved being next to the River!!! It was very safe and had excellent access to explore Portland!
ScoutThere airport noise is so loud all day everyday! But the price is right and the park is very clean. There is security overnight.
RangerWe were fortunate enough to stay here for an extended period and absolutely loved the area. The specific spot is a hobby farm with llamas, goats, and horses, although ownership may change, so the experience and availability could be different in the future.
There was plenty of room to park, and the location is fantastic. You’re nestled in the valley with access to water and absolutely gorgeous views of the surrounding Pleasant Mountain and nearby mountain ranges.
There are no hookups, but if you ever get the opportunity to stay here or connect with the wonderful people who own the property, I would highly recommend it. It’s a special place, and we really enjoyed our time here!
ScoutGreat campsite and close to the river
TravelerGorgeous area down a long gravel road, I stayed in site 4 which was a large grass clearing that could probably fit several vehicles worth of campers. No amenities, no service, pack out what you pack in. Rock fire ring with rock piles nearby to build more if you need. Small creek nearby that's worth a wander, someone built a small clay oven type deal down by the creek and there was a rope hanging from a tall tree I added a branch seat to. Road continues much farther down to even more campsites, and fantastic views all the way through.
ScoutIt’s quiet in the evening and the artificial lights are at a minimum to enjoy a fireside moment.
GuideSuper clean bathrooms and showers, rangers patrol the campground constantly so it feels pretty safe.

"This orchard is shady and very relaxing, although near a small airport and highway. There are showers and flushing toilets," reports Kevin R., highlighting the amenities despite the rustic setting.
River access: Many campers value waterfront locations for recreation. "The campgrounds were nice, check to make sure spot is large enough, far walk to the river, but the water is fun to play in," advises Kelsey W. about river activities available near campsites.
Noise considerations: Proximity to highways affects some camping locations. "Located next to I-5 is this very cramped RV park. The place is noisy from all the traffic and your neighbors are on top of you," warns Theo A. about one location, underscoring the importance of site selection.
Variable weather: Shoulder seasons present unique challenges. "Spring and summer can be a bug challenge so bring lots of insect repellant!" advises C.W. about Silver Falls State Park Campground, located 35 miles from Dundee.
Limited tent sites: Some parks primarily cater to RVs or specialty camping. "There are (3!) TOILETS that flush (omg), SHOWERS (desperately needed) with hot and cold water, waste disposal, privacy from other campers between the orchards," explains Amanda K., detailing the unexpected amenities at one orchard campground.

Site size verification: Olde Stone Village receives high marks for accommodations. "Spaces are long enough for big rigs, as long as you get the 65 foot sites. They have two sizes: 50 foot and 65 foot. I'd recommend the 65 foot sites for a big rig, so you have enough room to park your vehicle," advises Rachel H.
Entrance challenges: Some RV sites present access difficulties. "The entrance to the concrete pads was a little steep and might result in bottoming out. It was not a gentle slope, but a sharp incline," warns a reviewer about pad design at one location.
Amenity trade-offs: Rules can limit traditional camping activities. "Pristine campground with a TON of rules. Many areas that were 'No bikes, no skates, no skateboarding, no scooters, no pets.' Early quiet time. No clotheslines, NO campfires," reports Marianne O., noting these restrictions may disappoint traditional campers seeking a more relaxed atmosphere.
