    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.

    Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace

    Cute cabin!

    We headed to the Pacific City in search of fresh air in mid September when much of Oregon was consumed by wildfire smoke. The friendly staff at Cape Kiwanda RV Resort were very welcoming and we opted to stay in one of their cute cabins as rain was forecasted. Cabin N was comfortable and had electric heat, a TV, dorm fridge, microwave, porch swing, outdoor water, BBQ grill, picnic table and outdoor firepit.  The campground had cute wild bunnies hoping around, and amenities such as a playground, full market, and pool.  It's located a quick walk from a beautiful sandy beach, brew pub, coffee shop and other convenient options are nearby.

    Premier RV Resort

    Wow! The yurts are amazing

    Last summer I rented a yurt at Premier RV Resorts, Salem OR, and I can’t wait to stay there again!

    Registration was quick and easy. Plenty of parking. An amazing gift shop and small store. The bathrooms were SPOTLESS and keyless/ code entry, and it was almost like they were our private bathrooms.

    We had a darling porch with bbq and picnic table, Keurig coffee maker, 2 bedrooms, dining table and living room too! Cable tv as well.

    What an amazing place!!

    Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground

    Great place for Families!

    I stayed in the 1 of 5 tent spaces. They were a bit close to the other sites, but still large enough for a few tents if needed. There was only 1 parking lot for the tent/cabin spaces, so had to carry all my stuff about 100 feet. The bathrooms were clean and well lit at night. The bike paths through the campground/park were great and lots of people were using them all day. I walked the path around the entire park, which took me about 3 hours. Along the way got to see the Champoeg Heritage site with period piece actors, wide open spaces, and the Willamette River. There was a huge playground for the kids. There was also a large field area for dogs to roam around, just no fence. For being so close to the greater Portland area it felt like we were much further away. I would recommend this place, just make reservations early.

    Mount Hood National Forest Armstrong Campground - TEMP CLOSED FOR FIRE

    Nestled By the Clackamas, Very Clean

    This is a beautiful campground nestled down by the Clackamas River. You can hear it rushing by the campsites, which are right down by the water. Each campsite has a nice sturdy picnic table and a fire pit with built-in grill. The restrooms at some of the cleanest, nicest-smelling pit toilets I've ever seen at a campground, conveniently located within the campground.

    Each site was generously roomy. Our camping trip was, in part, a chance to test drive the new Chevy Blazer SUV. It's a big car but there was no problem maneuvering it through the campground or parking it at our site. We might have even been able to fit another, smaller vehicle too if we had more than one party with us. We had no problem pitching two two-man tents and getting out two camp chairs, and would have had room for a third easily. And although the campground is in sight of one of Oregon's classic pretty bridges and there is some road noise, it's balanced out by the white noise of the Clackamas and wasn't a problem.

    Nearby Fish Creek campground was much busier than Armstrong on a rainy Wednesday night, but we had Armstrong almost entirely to ourselves. A vanlifer left sometime that evening and a camper in a pickup truck with two kayaks appeared close to bed time. Other than that, everything was quiet, secluded and just right for relaxing. We even got to see a bald eagle the next morning!

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

    Bike and Camp...or drive up and walk up

    We LOVE this campground. Quick drive from SE Portland (or bike out all the way on a lovely trail if you are so inclined). We drove up to meet up with friends who biked in so we could camp a few nights. The sites are well situated so that there is enough distance that we could not see our neighbors. The communal fire pit was convenient and wood was provided. The campsite had gravel so we were glad we brought our moving blanket to place under our tent tarp. The trails were extensive and we could hear the brooke!

    Sandbeach

    Not great for a quiet nature getaway

    Camped on the night of July 3rd. Campsite 58, one of the furthest away from the dunes but you couldn’t escape the noise - ATV riders/generators did not adhere to quiet hours (10pm-7am), the engines quieted down around 1am but then started back up around 5:30am. Great if you like the dune buggy lifestyle but not if you are looking for a serene/private excursion. The hiker/biker camps offer more visual privacy but you can still hear the off road vehicles on the dunes.

    Oxbow Regional Park

    Heart of the forest

    This place was amazing! The camp ground is in the middle of the forest. They have hot showers, flushing toilets and every site has a fire pit. 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. Awesome location just 30 minutes away from Portland.

    Government Island State Recreation Area

    Accessible by boat only

    Fishing, boating, campfires.

    There aren't any hookups for electricity or running water, but really, it's a nice place to take a break from boating all day, maybe spending the night then getting back to the mainland. Put up a tent wherever you like and enjoy people watching on the river!


Guide to Lafayette

Near Lafayette, Oregon, visitors can find luxury glamping options within lush forests and riverside settings. The area sits at elevations ranging from 150 to 250 feet above sea level, creating moderate temperatures even during summer months. Camping options typically experience morning fog that burns off by midday, especially in sites closer to the Willamette River basin.

What to do

Hike forest trail systems: Milo McIver State Park Campground offers miles of hiking trails with river access. "There seemed to be a lot of hiking trails. I couldn't check them out because of our schedule, but I would 100% return," notes camper Lindsey T. The park connects hikers to unique ecological features including bat habitats.

Mountain biking adventures: Dairy Creek West — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park provides extensive trail networks for cycling enthusiasts. "The park has many hiking and biking trails of varying length, access to the Banks-Vernonia State Trail, several disc golf courses, cabins, a horse camp, a day use picnic/event area and a hike-in camp area," explains reviewer Shane B. Mountain biking trails vary from beginner-friendly paths to technical routes.

Disc golf courses: Multiple parks offer disc golf for casual players and serious competitors. "What other campground has a bat trail? There are private feeling hiking trails around the large park," writes Nancy H. about Milo McIver, adding, "It is also far from the extensive pair of disc golf courses. That's right, two competition quality disc golf courses."

Swimming and water recreation: Several parks provide river access for cooling off during summer months. "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," shares Scott W. about Champoeg.

What campers like

Spacious, private camping sites: Cape Lookout State Park Campground gets high marks for site layout. "I've been visiting Cape Lookout for years with my family. This is by far the best campsite we've found on the coast. We love how much privacy is usually found between sites. For the most part, trees and bushes are substantial enough to make your site feel like you have your own sanctuary," writes Nathan R.

Clean, well-maintained facilities: Silver Falls State Park Campground consistently receives praise for its upkeep. "Awesome campground. Well maintained. Site spacing is good with lots of privacy between camps. Bathrooms and showers are super nice and clean. Roads and campsites are paved and level," states Richard H. Many campgrounds feature hot showers and flush toilets.

Year-round availability: Several glamping options near Lafayette remain open throughout all seasons. "The campground is very well laid out and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails right from your campsite. The hosts are super friendly and helpful," notes Thamar D. about Champoeg State Park.

Proximity to waterways: Campers appreciate riverside locations. "The tent sites are also secluded and flat. (But a far walk to the bathrooms/showers). We drove to the boat launch area and it was easily accessible," mentions Lindsey T. about her Milo McIver State Park experience.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most popular glamping sites require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. "We were in site 38. I really appreciated other Dyrt reviews that said the shadier, more private sites are numbered below 40," shares Annie B. about L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park.

Weather considerations: Prepare for morning fog and occasional rain even in summer. "My husband and I have stayed here twice and both times it has rained. Which is fine but we find it very humorous (and actually really enjoy camping in the rain)," mentions Jenny R. about the Stub Stewart hike-in camp.

Site selection tips: Oxbow Regional Park visitors recommend choosing locations carefully. "Road noise can be loud here. Try to get a site as close to the river as you can so you can avoid the highway noise at night," advises J.W. Site numbers with specific advantages appear in many reviews.

Limited connectivity: Most glamping sites have minimal cell service. "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.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several parks offer play areas for children. "Great at the beach campground! I could spend a month on the beach all day every day and not be done with it! Playground, close to stores and heritage/tourist sites," writes Leslie C. about Cape Lookout State Park.

Educational opportunities: Historical sites add learning dimensions to glamping trips. "The park's historical significance adds cultural depth to the glamping experience, with an on-site museum highlighting Oregon's pioneer history," notes one reviewer about Champoeg State Heritage Area.

Kid-friendly water features: Shallow swimming areas provide safe recreation. "We love hiking the trails and our kids love the playground and river swimming!" shares April F. about Silver Falls State Park, which offers various water access points suitable for different ages.

Safety considerations: Some parks have specific hazards to watch for. "There is a main road in between the campgrounds since sites go from A-C. People fly up and down that road at 50+ MPH so watch your kids and pets," warns Savannah S. about Trask River County Park.

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Check specific campground amenities before arrival. "We were in site 52, with FHUs. The pad starts with asphalt and then goes to gravel, where you actually park the rig," explains MickandKarla W. about Dairy Creek West at L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park.

Site dimensions: RV sites vary significantly between parks. "We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. The CG is clean, quiet and well maintained, but the sites are fairly short and narrow," reports Ray & Terri F. about the Salem area.

Water and power connections: Connection locations affect setup. "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 one RV camper at Stub Stewart Memorial State Park.

Alternative accommodations: For glamping close to Lafayette, Oregon without an RV, consider yurt rentals. "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!" shares Lana N. about Champoeg State Park.
