RV campgrounds near Dundee, Oregon provide visitors with year-round access to Willamette Valley attractions. Most parks in this area sit at elevations between 150-250 feet, experiencing mild winters and warm summers with average July temperatures reaching 84°F. Noise levels vary significantly among properties, with parks closer to major roadways experiencing traffic sounds throughout the night.
What to do
Water recreation access: Mt Hood Village Resort offers convenient access to the Salmon River for fishing and swimming. "There is a path that leads to the Wildwood recreation area and within the RV park itself there is access to the Salmon River for fishing/swimming," notes one camper.
River exploration: Spend time at Clackamette RV Park where the Willamette and Clackamas Rivers meet. "Right at the confluence of the Willamette and Clackamas Rivers. Campsite is right at the confluence with ample fishing from the shoreline," states one reviewer. The park also features multiple boat launches for water access.
Shopping excursions: Parks near retail centers make supply runs convenient. "You can walk to several restaurants and the outlet mall," mentions one visitor about Woodburn I-5 RV Park. For campers staying at Portland-area parks, most shopping centers are within a 10-15 minute drive.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Portland Fairview RV Park receives consistent praise for maintenance. "The park is beautiful the bathrooms and showers are clean," writes one guest. Another mentions, "Very nice park. Very large and busy but has nice amenities."
Kid-friendly amenities: Silver Spur RV Park & Resort offers family activities beyond standard hookups. As one visitor notes: "Amazing RV Park, well maintained roads, lots, and landscaping. There was also plenty to do around the campsite between fishing, the small kids park and the park provided activities (corn hole, etc.)."
Community atmosphere: Many parks host regular social events. "Specials during the month to include meals for a very inexpensive price as well as ice cream socials in nicer months," explains one long-term resident at Portland-Woodburn RV Park.
What you should know
Variable site spacing: Many parks feature closely positioned sites. At Roamers Rest RV Park, "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."
Age restrictions: Some parks enforce RV age limitations beyond those mentioned in the existing description. "They also have RV age limit of 2010 but they allowed pictures before turning me down. Yay we got approved!" notes one Roamers Rest visitor.
Noise considerations: Environmental sounds affect different parks. At Columbia River RV Park, "The only disturbance are the Air Force jets that fly overhead occasionally in the morning and the sound of frogs at night, because it's backed by a lovely woodland and swale."
Management style variations: Parks implement rules differently. "If you are female, don't stay here. The male manager Tyler is creepy and very threatening," cautions one visitor about Premier RV Resort. Staff interactions greatly impact guest experiences.
Tips for camping with families
Check pool availability: Hee Hee Illahee RV Resort offers water recreation options. "The resort has laundry, which is clean, they have a wonderful pool and hot tubs," notes one reviewer. However, facility closures occur: "The spa has been closed for over 3 weeks."
Consider playground proximity: When selecting sites with children, request locations near play areas. "There is a playground, swimming pool, small store, cafe, bathrooms with showers (and warm water) and activities during the day for kids," mentions a Mt Hood Village Resort visitor.
Indoor recreation options: For rainy days, select parks with indoor facilities. "Nice indoor pool and hot tub. Good playground for kids. Very family friendly," notes one visitor to Mt Hood Village Resort.
Tips from RVers
Cell connectivity: Mobile internet strength varies between parks. At Premier RV Resort, "AT&T coverage was fair, ranging from 2-4 bars of 5G with speeds up to 19 MB/s. The CG WiFi speed varied considerably, from next to useless up to 1 MB/s."
Satellite considerations: TV reception works well at certain parks. "We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were 11 OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna," reports a Premier RV Resort visitor.
Sewer connection design: Standard equipment may need modification at some parks. "The sewer connections are not threaded, so you'll have to weigh down your sewer hose," advises one RVer about Premier RV Resort's hookups.
Site navigation challenges: Jantzen Beach RV Park offers spacious pull-thru sites but requires planning. "The spacious pull-thru sites made parking my RV hassle-free, and the electric hookups worked perfectly," notes one visitor, though another mentions, "While I thought the odd location in such a commercial area as well as the combination of trailer park and RV park was a little strange, my kiddos absolutely loved the three pools."
