    Milo McIver State Park Campground welcomes pets throughout its drive-in, boat-in, and walk-in campsites. Dogs must remain on leash in most areas, but the park features a designated off-leash dog park with mountain views. Tent sites, RV spots with electric and water hookups, and pet-friendly yurts accommodate various camping styles. Battle Ground Lake State Park Campground in nearby Washington also permits pets at its tent sites, RV spaces, and cabins. Columbia River RV Park maintains a small neighborhood dog park directly across the street, with a designated pet washer and dryer in the laundry facilities for cleaning dog bedding. Most campgrounds in the region enforce standard leash policies outside designated off-leash areas and require campers to pick up after their pets. The dog park at L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park offers breathtaking views and is often uncrowded.

    Hiking trails throughout these pet-friendly campgrounds provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs and their owners. The Clackamas River near Lazy Bend Campground allows dogs but requires close supervision due to fast-moving water. Oxbow Regional Park features two nature playgrounds and access to the Sandy River, though no pets are allowed in this particular park despite its proximity to other pet-friendly options. Many campgrounds maintain quiet hours that apply to barking dogs, with enforcement varying by location. Mt. Hood Village Resort accepts pets year-round with full hookup RV sites, tent camping, cabins, yurts, and glamping options available. Most parks require pets to be current on vaccinations, and several campgrounds offer nearby access to pet supply stores for forgotten essentials. The massive area along the Columbia River at Columbia Riverfront RV Park provides ample space for dogs to explore despite having designated no-pet zones near buildings.

      Columbia River RV Park

      Nice place

      Nice RV park, close enough to Portland to work for us. We don’t have a tow car so we relied on public transportation to get to downtown, which was great (though it is a 1 mile walk to the bus stop). There are many long-termers here, but due to their 10 or 15 year RV rule, all the RVs here were really nice and fancy. There’s a little area with a free table, a book exchange, some workout equipment, a kitchen, laundry, and showers. The laundry room had a designated pet washer and dryer, which I always love, so we washed all of our dog bedding here. Showers were really really nice, super hot, good pressure, clean, free. Staff was nice as well. Free wifi that worked pretty well. There’s a small neighborhood dog park right across the street.

      Silver Falls State Park Campground

      Absolutely beautiful

      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.

      Dairy Creek West — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park

      spacious sites and good hiking

      We stayed here for about 5 days while we tested out our new trailer prior to a longer cross country trip. We are from Portland and this is a short drive from home.

      Sites here are spacious and have picnic tables and firepits. We had room for our 28 foot trailer plus 2 pickups (extra charge for extra vehicle though).

      Shower facilities were ok - typical campground facilities in my opinion, but at least it was an actual toilet and hot water in the showers.

      Not a ton of privacy at each site, but got some shade during each day and plenty of space to stretch out and cook/eat outside or just sit and chill.

      There are miles of hiking trails that are family friendly and the dog park has one of the best views I've ever seen from a dog park.

      The camp host we met was super friendly and very helpful. They sell firewood and ice every evening.

      North Arm Campground

      Absolutely beautiful!

      The scenery and the placid, warm lake, make this my favorite place to camp in Oregon. The campsites can be very uneven for tents, but we’ve always made it work. The lake is never crowded and by using the trail that goes around the lake you can basically have your own private beach anywhere. The water is surprisingly warm. Can be very cold at night. Cell service is non-existent.

      Clark County Fairgrounds RV Park

      Safe and Quiet

      We've been here longterm since July 2020 and have had a great experience. It's definitely costs more to stay here but we've found the location to be exceptional being close to most things but rural and quiet. It's conveniently close to the fairgrounds so lots of places to walk the dogs etc. They do tout that they are a "resort" but really no amenities to live up to that. They have a nice laundry facility and showers but no dog park (just an area designated to let them do their "business") but no pool, picnic area, etc. They have had on site management here at times but it's very sporadic, but the people they have had when here are very helpful and friendly. I did have a water leak that I reported both using their online report and followed up with a phone call which apparently went unnoticed or unheeded. I only know this because it was mentioned by someone who came by to record our water usage seemed surprised by the leak. (Hey, I did all I could do!) Overall this is a clean and well kept safe location that I would recommend to anyone traveling through, especially with large RV's and although expensive it's been perfect for our longterm situation. Just don't expect a "resort".

    Guide to Fairview

    Campgrounds within 30 miles of Fairview offer diverse options for overnight stays in the Columbia River Gorge region. Most sites sit at elevations between 150-800 feet with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F during peak camping season. Winter campers should prepare for frequent rain and occasional snow at higher elevations, particularly at campgrounds toward Mount Hood.

    What to do

    Swimming access: Barton County Park Campground provides river access for cooling off during hot months. "Great place to put into the river to float or kayak. lots of parking. also a campground. perfect for a close weekend getaway," writes Caty M.

    Disc golf courses: Milo McIver State Park Campground features competition-quality disc golf. "Milo McIver may be best known for its twin 18 hole disc golf courses, or single 27 hole layout when tournaments aren't in progress," notes Steve C.

    Trail walking: The 3-mile trail at Battle Ground Lake leads through old growth forest. "Pristine campsites and beautiful cool lake that's not far from the city. Good trails and plenty of space," explains Matt W. The park includes both upper and lower lake trails suitable for all fitness levels.

    What campers like

    River confluences: Clackamette RV Park sits at the meeting point of two major waterways. "Right off the exit of 205, it's very easy to get to, and a beautiful spot where the Clackamas flows into the Willamette," states Pepper V.

    Nearby food options: Sandy Riverfront RV Resort positions campers within walking distance of local eateries. "The absolutely best part about this park is that it's across the street from Sugarpine Drive-in. Somewhat expensive (for a drive-in) but oh-so-delicious food," shares Corinna B.

    No cell service retreats: Oxbow Regional Park offers a digital detox with minimal connectivity. "Barely got 1 bar of 4g at the welcome center. There's a guest wifi in the parking lot there too but it's 2 miles further to the camp ground and texts hardly go through," reports Zach S.

    What you should know

    Train noise factors: At several riverside campgrounds, trains pass nearby. "It got very cold at night so be prepared. Also, no cell service so download movies on Netflix or bring games," advises Astrid Q. about winter camping at Oxbow.

    Seasonal availability: Most dog friendly campgrounds near Fairview operate May through October. "When we arrived the board read CAMPING FULL, but when I went to the campground I found it to be pretty empty. Check in time is 2pm and sites are $22," shares Stephanie Z.

    Site spacing variations: Ainsworth State Park Campground has mixed site privacy. "I camped in the walk in sites which felt secluded despite being pretty close together. The campsite was well shaded and linked into a nice set of trails," explains Amanda L.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Several pet-welcoming campgrounds include play structures. "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," notes Lanae about Barton Park.

    Swimming options: Battle Ground Lake offers a designated swim beach with moderate supervision. "There's a swim area roped off, and a small sand area for the kids to play. Bathrooms are throughout the campground," explains Wendy C.

    Multi-generational activities: Consider campgrounds with varied terrain. "Two parties (all family) stayed the night Friday night. Additional family visited Saturday night. LOTS of nice, wide horse trails for horse riding enthusiasts. We all made s'mores and sang campfire songs together," shares Melissa L.

    Tips from RVers

    Water pressure considerations: At some dog friendly campgrounds near Fairview, utilities vary in quality. "Water pressure is the lowest we've ever experienced. Not sure what's going on but all of the folks we've talked to are experiencing the same," notes Jennifer H. about Jantzen Beach RV Park.

    Access roads: Most RV sites accommodate large rigs but entrance roads differ. "Easy to access, even for larger rigs. We stayed in 39 foot 5th wheel. Plenty of pull thru spots, full hookups, regularly spaced bathroom/showers," shares Steve R. about Mt. Hood Village Resort.

    Winter accessibility: Several RV parks remain open year-round. "Rolled in January 1st. Self pay. About 5 sites with power and water. We got a nice level one. There are only 5 other sites in the whole campground occupied," reports Chris J.
