My dog and I were attacked here. Park Host admitted she should have kicked them out
It would be 5 stars if it was not for my experience. That should never have happened. Park Host admitted she should have evicted vicious dog owners. $2k vet bill, I have a broken pinky that is still open and they wanted to do surgery on. No supervisor has called me. Barely an apology. So if you want to take those kinds of risks. Also they DO NOT honor online reservations. They allow people to stay who are not paid up and take sites that have been reserved online. Management needs to step in! This could be a 5 star park if managed at all. What happened to my dog and I could have been a child, killed. But they don't seem to care?

Foster Lake RV Resort
Please explain how a resort is located adjacent to a noisy mill?
I lived in Sweet Home for 30 years. It's fun visiting in my RV, but this place is quite silly. Very noisy log trucks coming and going. Let's call a spade a spade and stop being silly.
Four pages of rules. They are terrified of being sued. So don't use the pool cuz you certainly can't have fun. Not allowed to leave your dogs in your RV is a big surprise rule. You should have ALL of your rules posted on your website. Not hard to find and a very small list.
I've been to lots of RV parks now. You are just like them. I would think a resort would be quiet, peaceful, room to spread out, and have a nice time. This is crammed, like everywhere. Very noisy. Uncomfortable to even try to explore the "resort" as there are many rules and signs posted everywhere. Reminding you what not to do. And cowgirl or cowboy? I'm just shaking my head over this stuff.
A real world look at what someone experiences here might benefit your customers but I'm sure you are raking the money in. So no worries. I cannot imagine how tourists feel when they come here. It is nothing like your website. I already knew but I thought people DESERVE HONESTY. NOT LIES. Not a resort. A park next to a very noisy mill across the street from a lake. No fires. No tables. No dog area except one which is camera monitored. Very uncomfortable place to be.

Silver Falls State Park Campground
Beautiful Forest
Beautiful camping sites. Very busy. Lots of families and people. Roads are very windy and curvy be extra cautious. Wish we had more time so much to explore. If you bring your dog, you will be very limited on where you can hike too. RV sites are pretty private. Bathrooms and showers look brand new. And Camp post are extremely kind and polite.
Jordan C.ScoutJantzen Beach RV Resort
Nice near city of Portland stop
This sounds like a pretty mixed experience at Jantzen Beach RV Resort. The three heated pools, playgrounds, fitness center, and river access definitely make it appealing for families and longer stays, and having full hookups with level paved sites is a real plus. I also like that the mature trees provide some shade and that the shoreline paths give campers a chance to enjoy the Columbia River without having to leave the property. At the same time, the constant traffic and airplane noise would probably be something I’d want to know about before booking. The low water pressure mentioned in the review is another practical concern, especially for RV travelers who expect reliable hookups. They closed the swimming pool a month early although it is 90f in Portland. The combination of permanent residents and overnight campers also seems like something that could give the park a different atmosphere depending on the site and time of year. The location near Target and the freeway sounds convenient, but Portland rush-hour traffic could definitely make getting around more difficult. Priced at$85–$100 per night, many long-time visitors believe the value has decreased and are opting to seek alternatives. Overall, Jantzen Beach RV Resort seems to offer plenty of amenities and a convenient location, but travelers looking for a peaceful, quiet campground may want to keep the noise and urban setting in mind before reserving. The comparison with Columbia River RV Park would also be helpful for anyone deciding between the two.

What campers like
Private wooded sites: Oxbow Regional Park offers secluded camping experiences despite proximity to Portland. "Smaller, but we were able to switch sites away from an area with two families/lots of little kids. Beautiful river, lots of horses and fisherpeople, great trails, tall trees, lots of shade, close to Portland," reports Bjorn S.
Year-round accessibility: Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground maintains winter camping options when other sites close. "Love to stay here when all the other campgrounds close. Nice hiking trails. The rangers are very nice. Beautiful scenery," explains Somer L.
Swimming holes: Natural water features provide summer cooling options. "We love hiking the trails and our kids love the playground and river swimming!" mentions April F. about Silver Falls State Park, while Maureen H. notes at Metzler Park, "The campgrounds are nice. The hike is amazing and beautiful though most of the trails are closed to dogs."
What you should know
Limited cell service: Connectivity varies widely between glamping sites. "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. about Oxbow Regional Park.
Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites fill quickly during peak season. "Some of the sites can be reserved in advance, and some are always open for walk ups," explains Stephanie Z. about Stub Stewart's hike-in camp area.
Bathroom facilities: Quality and proximity of facilities varies between campgrounds. "The bathrooms were SPOTLESS and keyless/code entry, and it was almost like they were our private bathrooms," notes K L. about Premier RV Resort in Salem.
Tips for camping with families
Activity centers: Camp Dakota offers numerous structured activities for children. "We did a group site and once we got the wristbands on the kids, they went off and explored and had a lot of fun. The staff is #1 safe, then #2 they are super fun," shares Jason S.
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature dedicated play areas for children. "Champoeg has a little everything. GREAT biking trails that are kid friendly. There lots of historical sites around the campground to enjoy as well. Loop B is highly our favorite because it is smaller and more private and close to the river," writes Scott W.
Historical activities: Pioneer-themed educational opportunities engage children at several sites. "The farmhouse fascinated my boys... they got to water the garden with a water pump and buckets!" reports Leslie C. about Champoeg's heritage features.
Tips from RVers
Hookup locations: Consider hookup placement when reserving RV sites. "The water and sewer hookups were in the middle of the site, with electric being at the back of the pad. The water pressure was not very good at around 35 psi," notes MickandKarla W. about Dairy Creek West at Stub Stewart.
WiFi connectivity: Internet access varies significantly between RV parks. "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. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site," reports Ray & Terri F. about Premier RV Resort.
Site spacing: Some RV parks offer more privacy than others. "Very nice park. The spaces are a bit to close for me, no shade," says Kimberly E. about Premier RV Resort, while MickandKarla W. notes about Dairy Creek West, "Sites are always clean and hosts we've interacted with were always helpful and friendly."
