    Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground

    Good for biking, heated yurts, smaller tent spots

    We've been here 3 times, once for tent camping and twice in a yurt. The yurts are heated, and a couple of them are pet friendly, which is great for us! There is a small table in each yurt. Theres a couch and a bunk bed for sleeping arrangements, with the lower bunk larger than the top bunk. Great walking trails and day use areas, and our favorite thing about this place is biking on the biking trails surrounding the area. Beautiful and close to civilization for a quick and low key camping trip. Great for beginner campers and families!

    Oxbow Regional Park

    Close to the city with awesome playgrounds

    The park just added two nature playgrounds that are pretty fantastic. One of the new playgrounds, right before the boat launch, features a trail with a mud kitchen, two a-frame tents and a big area where you can use fallen logs and branches to build shelters.

    The other nature playground is right across from the old playground (still in use) and has a wooden water course with a hand pump and an elevated wooden plank course.

    Camping can be a little loud since it's a popular spot and there are no pets allowed, but it's barely 30 minutes away from Portland and right on the Sandy River.

    Smith Creek Village — Silver Falls State Park

    Very nice cabin getaway

    Smith Creek Village is such a great place for easy lodging in nature. My family stayed in one of the tiny cabins. The cabin was very clean and well kept. The cabin was nearby a few other similar cabins, but everything felt very private. There was nice walking paths and a large grass area supplied with lawn games.

    We decided to take the easy route this particular trip and ate all our meals at the Big Leaf Coffeehouse. The food there is fantastic and the building has a cozy lodge vibe.

    Another thing that I loved about Smith Creek Village is that although the Silver Falls state park is always busy, Smith Creek Village is not. It feels like a hidden gem inside the state park. We definitely plan on coming back.

    Mt Hood Village Resort

    The Ultimate Mt Hood Base Camp

    Not my normal camping scene, but decided to for an early summer ski session with the kids, we didn't want to completely rough it, but also didn't want to pay hotel prices. So, one of the standard cabins here was the perfect compromise. Roof over our heads, actual beds, room for three of us to be able to gear up for the day. But still had a fire pit outside, and picnic table for outdoor cooking. (Also the standard cabins don't have bathrooms, so you still need to go to the shared restrooms.)

    The property overall was really nice, lots of amenities. We also took a walk through the RV/Tent camp sites. Its very similar to a KOA style of resort. We enjoyed it for what it was.

    Pet Friendly Cabin

    Pros: Good lake to swim in, smaller state park so not too busy, kayaks you can rent, small playground if you have kids, pet frIendly cabIn I stayed In was faIrly secluded Cons: because it’s smaller, kids on bikes were on the road often so you have to be aware, only one shower stall in the restrooms

    Smith Creek Village — Silver Falls State Park

    Cozy cabins, close to falls.

    We stayed in a rustic cabin at this park and it was perfect. Two full beds and two small bunks make for an affordable spot for friends to gather. Book in advance because it fills up fast. The cabins are basic, but do have electricity. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. The tent sites were pretty close to each other and there were a lot of kids. Walked to the waterfalls from the cabin in the early am, amazing!

    Battle Ground Lake State Park Campground

    Feels remote for being close to the city

    BGLSP is a really lovely park not too far from Portland with camping and rustin cabins. Most of the campsites are large enough for 2 tents, and there were many RVs and popups - good size driveways/parking areas. Cabins C17 and C21 were the most private, though C13 and C15 had a partial view of the lake. Campsites 19 and 20 were really tucked back and adjoined such that two groups could spread out. There is only one bathroom for the entire camping/cabin area, and it got pretty dirty/crowded at times, so that wasn't ideal. I would also recommend checking out the water quality information before going if you plan to do water sports or swimming. There was a high bacteria advisory when we went, so swimming was discouraged. We ended up going to nearby Klineline Pond to swim instead. There is a nice little concession stand, though, and they offer SUP and kayak rentals that looked nice.

    Smith Creek Village — Silver Falls State Park

    Beautiful location-great hiking nearby!

    This campground is one I wanted to visit for the chance to check out the hiking trail nearby that has tons of waterfalls along it (Ten Falls Trail). I wasn't sure I would be able to hike very far and I was right. I hiked down into the canyon to walk behind South Falls. It was spectacular! I’m glad I hiked that particular trial since I only had enough energy for that one. It was quite steep down into the canyon and wet in most areas. Watch your step! The full trail is 8.2 miles. They had a nice place to buy snacks and meals, a gift shop, and had nice printed trail information posted at the trailhead. The campground itself isn’t huge and was fully booked, but it is decently laid out (sites have nice space between them). Most sites are shaded. They sell firewood, have a pavilion with picnic tables, a playground for the kids, and have a few small cabins you can rent by the night. The campground is kind of close to a somewhat busy road, but the noise wasn’t too bad. The bathhouse was clean and approximately 100 yards from my campsite down a footpath. The only thing I was disappointed to see was that two of the 4 showers were out of order. I had fantastic cell service here (AT&T) and was able to text, call, and go online on my phone (which is nice since I work online). Given the fact that I was unable to physically do more hiking this trip, I would definitely come back to this campground to try another section of the trail to see more waterfalls since the trailhead is only 1.5 miles from the campground.

    Smith Creek Village — Silver Falls State Park

    Lovely

    Went with an ex many years ago. We stayed in one of the small cabins very close to the upper trail to the falls.I think... lol

    The cabin was cozy and stayed very warm as we went in the winter. We only walked around a short ways but the snow was beautiful and it was serenely quiet.


Guide to Hillsboro

Cabins near Hillsboro, Oregon offer lodging options ranging from rustic to modern accommodations within forested settings. Located in the foothills of the Coast Range, the area experiences mild temperatures with rainy winters and dry summers. Most cabin areas sit at elevations between 400-1,000 feet, making them accessible year-round though winter stays often require preparation for mud and occasional snow.

What to do

Hiking trails: L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park features extensive trail systems through forests and meadows. "The atmosphere is very green and lush. Outhouses are present but no showers and fire pits are communal and conveniently placed between the site subgroups. Because you are in a state park you have easy parking, access to a disc golf course, a paved bike trail (Banks-Vernonia Trail) and lots of hiking/mountain biking trails," notes Jenny R.

Disc golf courses: Dairy Creek East — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park offers recreational opportunities beyond standard camping. According to Ryan W., the park provides an "Open feel, but sites are spacious. Nice playground for kids, fun disc golf course and wonderful access to biking (paved or dirt)."

Water activities: Hagg Lake is accessible from several cabin locations and offers swimming and fishing during summer months. One visitor to Hagg Lake House mentioned it was "a little hard to find with just coordinates and gps pretty spotty but we found the house and was greeted and shown our area. We selected the view option and was not disappointed minus the owl howling lol but had a great view and very quiet."

What campers like

Historical experiences: Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground offers cultural experiences beyond basic camping. Leslie C. reports, "Not very good access to the river here, not the place to try and cool down, but a lot to see and do anyway. The farmhouse fascinated my boys... they got to water the garden with a water pump and buckets!"

Biking opportunities: The region connects to several bike trail systems including the Banks-Vernonia Trail. According to Stephanie Z., "Champoeg State Park is on the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway, and a great place to camp if you want to do a long biking getaway. The campground is pretty full service for a state park. You can buy ice and firewood onsite, and there is a small store that is a short walk away."

Wildlife viewing: Multiple forest cabin areas offer wildlife observation opportunities. At one nearby state park, a camper observed, "When I 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 and sites are $22. There are toilets in each loop and one block of showers for the whole campground."

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Winter cabin stays require preparation for potential storms and muddy conditions. "If you live in PDX and want to get away from the city for a second, I highly recommend this campground. It's a regional park not a state park so no dogs or alcohol allowed. It got very cold at night so be prepared. Also, no cell service so download movies on Netflix or bring games," advises Astrid Q. from Oxbow Regional Park.

Accessibility challenges: Some cabin locations require walking from parking areas. At Battle Ground Lake, Matt W. notes, "The only thing to keep in mind is that you have to park down below and walk to the site, the furthest ones being over a quarter mile away."

Reservation requirements: Most cabins require advance booking, especially during summer and holiday periods. Ashley B. shares her experience: "I would recommend this place, just make reservations early."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several cabin locations feature dedicated children's play areas. Scott W. shares, "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. We'll go back year after year. Our kids had a blast!"

Swimming options: Battle Ground Lake State Park Campground offers child-friendly water access. "They have a cool volcanic lake with a swimming area and great fishing. Its like a mini crater lake. I mean mini like pond size," describes Ashley Y.

Educational experiences: Some cabins near Hillsboro provide interpretive programs during peak season. Brian B. reports, "One of the best State parks for camping. Well manicured sites. Plenty of privacy. Great fishing! Trout, bass, blue gill.. swimming area. Store on sites. Nice hike around lake with plenty of spots to rest and fish."

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Paradise Point State Park Campground offers varying levels of privacy. Brian C. advises, "Great state park with all the usual amenities: fire pits, trees, ranger station. It's basically two different types of campgrounds in one: there's the sites more out in the open that are closer to the freeway. Then there's a bunch further away in both a meadow and the woods. Obviously if possible, stay away from the freeway."

Hook-up reliability: Full-service cabin sites with utilities require advance booking. C.W. notes, "Great historic park with no issues with hookups in the RV area. Spring and summer can be a bug challenge so bring lots of insect repellant!"

Site dimensions: Know your vehicle measurements before booking. MickandKarla W. describe their experience: "The pad starts with asphalt and then goes to gravel, where you actually park the rig. 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."
