"Just 45 minutes outside of Portland, and near the town of Estacada, is Milo McIver State Park, which I consider to be a quintessential Oregon State Park: lots of huge evergreen trees, large campsites,"
"Estacada lake is within walking distance, and there is salmon fishing within driving distance inside of the park. There is also a "bat" barn that is close by."
$25 / night
"Close proximity to Multonomah Falls. Pros - bathrooms with electric outlets, free showers, deer come close and are fun to watch, quiet & fairly private stay."
"There is distance between you and other guests but if you want to meet your neighbors you can. They have ADA sites, a lake, play grounds and a welcome center."
$28 - $81 / night
"Close to Portland so it gets a lot of day traffic. Access to river so it has summer activities. Sites for large get togethers."
"The kids enjoyed the playground and biking around the loop. The river access down at the day use was lovely. All the park staff were friendly."
"There is a playground onsite for those with children and plenty of bike paths and walking paths to keep you busy."
"We were parked next to the bathroom that was in the area and the facilities were very clean. The river that runs along the property was very beautiful."
"If you are looking for some more off the grid camping you can take the NF4610 up the hill from Promontory Park and continue till you find a good cut off near Whiskey Creek for some good camping."
"There is also a play area for the kiddos along with walking paths along the water.
One knock on the place is that the campsites are bumped up really close to each other."
$24 - $168 / night
"As I rode up to the site, I noticed right away that it was not tucked far away from the amenities such as restrooms, and showers. It was part of one of the campground loops."
"Champoeg State Heritage Area is a beautiful and peaceful campground located near Newberg, Oregon."
"Simple RV park with access to everything. The river is right there, bike trails, grass area, walk to town, everything."
"Right off the exit of 205, it's very easy to get to, and a beautiful spot where the Clackamas flows into the Willamette."
$22 - $33 / night
"All are very close to the highway so you will hear road noise and trains thundering past on the adjacent tracks."
"We stayed in the C Loop, walk-in camping, for one night in July. The C loop is great! More secluded than most state park tent camping areas. Water by the parking lot."
"Most spots were pull-though with decently wide streets to drive in. Even though it's just off a semi-major street, it's set back enough and surrounded by trees to be more quiet."
"So this campground is quite well maintained The people are very friendly everywhere around it and the view of the great mountains are quite beautiful especially with the snow still on on top and what early"
GuideI decided at last minute to get out of dodge! But didn’t want to go far. This campground was perfect. Super clean and close but giving you the feeling of being out deep in the woods. The only bummer is in my app. It said camp fires allowed. And they ARE NOT allowed at this time. The park rangers are super nice and friendly and definitely efficient. You feel safe at this location. Will be back!!!
GuideNot too far from the nearest town but you will feel totally immersed out here. My carrier is Verizon, I didn’t have any service whatsoever. Ice cold creek, towering trees. Seemed to be lots of sites off the road to pick from. A bit of trash but nothing crazy. Fantastic place to stop even just for one night. Would definitely visit again.
ScoutA great place to stop with a motorhome or tent, located on the banks of the Columbia River near Portland. The park is known for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and good amenities: paved parking, electricity, Wi-Fi, showers, and laundry facilities. There are also areas for pets and a place for dogs to run off-leash. Despite the close parking, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. An excellent choice for an overnight stay after exploring Portland!
GuideNice regional campground. Has tent and RV spots. No hookups though. Mostly shady sites with just a handful having full sun.
Restrooms are well maintained and have excellent showers. No coins needed.
Great access to the river to keep cool in summer. Nice sandy beaches. Park also has a lot of sheltered picnic areas and playground.
Multi-use trail great for short runs and apparently horses.
No wifi and we had no phone reception. There are emergency phones installed throughout the park.
TravelerWe got married here on 8/30/25 It was absolutely perfect. Sky and Phil were our absolutely amazing camp hosts. They were more than help and accommodating. Our day was so special and when we had complications with our reservations they fixed it without hesitation. Sky even brought Jr. Camper art projects for our kids. We had an amazing stay! Our middle son caught not only his first fish but he caught 4 in total. They have electric hot plate stations for community cooktops. The yoms have electricity and bunk beds this has one of our favorite spots.
GuideI booked the campground. There were pictures but not of the camp spot I chose. I did because it indicated I would be by the river. Note. I was but not accessible from my spot. I was disappointed about that. I chose #13 for that reason. However I arrived and was also surprised I was not able to park by my spot. There is a little trek. Thank god I brought my cart as I had all my camp gear.
12 and 13 are closer to parking than 14, 15 and 16. They are a little more remote.
The drive in camping spots resembles more of a day use area. No real privacy. Then the road going through the campground was noisy with motorists and motorcycles at all hours running through.
At this time. There isnt any camp fires allowed.
No cell service.
It’s beautiful with the falls and canopy of trees and decently close to town.
But overall. For a weekend getaway it’s great. But very limited. Also no water so bring your water.
ScoutThis is a great RV park with short and long-term camping. It's perfect for the traveling worker, fisherman or people who want enjoy all the outdoor activities in the Gorge.
TravelerNot sure how we ended here, but it is a really nice camp. The only disadvantage is that it couldn't be reserved through recreation.org. Toilets, water, showers (free), washers (1,75 or 2,25 $, dryer .25 for 5 min) and free wifi at store. Sweet
TravelerReally nice first come first serve site, $25 per night at the self serve permit station. We arrived around 4 pm the Sunday of Labor Day and grabbed the last site. The first few sites when you enter are pretty private which is nice, sites further down the road more open. No water available when we were there. There is one pit toilet. Was perfect for an impromptu night of camping!
