Best Campgrounds near Lyons, OR

Almost all of my reviews are based on hiking. If the place offers hiking the review is better for us.

This camp offers do much more! They have one of the cleanest swimming areas around!

While there are trails in the resort, the really good longer ones are on forest service land. You can walk from the resort, do a nice hike (keep some clothing at hand) of up to six miles and return with out any issues.

They also have tennis, pickleball, dog park, restaurant, library and a wonderful staff.

You are close to Springfield/Eugene for groceries and etc.

We are a pack of four.

Was driving down Quartzville Road looking for new areas to explore and found this campground. Amazing place to stop and let the dogs run around and enjoy the water, especially during sunset time!

Huge gravel lot with RV hookups, no sewer connection but there is an on-site dump station so that’s covered.

Corvallis, Oregon. Clean basic campgrounds. Booked online and no instructions for late arrivals so we did not have WiFi instructions nor did we have code for bathrooms. And although payment was taken online no paperwork was left giving us information after we arrived at about 8:15pm.

Been here several months and has been a pleasure. Great staff. Multiple Laundry Rooms , heated indoor pool, recreation area indoors. Hour from the coast, hour from ski areas and plenty to do in and around Albany.

We had a great time at Camp Dakota.  Our yurt was comfortable and we enjoyed disc golf, archery, axe throwing, a fun general store and an escape room.  We came in thinking it was a little on the spendy side, to ending up thinking it was a bargain.  Great service, good safety protocols and a good location.  Professional all around.  A fantastic place to bond, create memories and enjoy the outdoors.

Not near Eugene

Short walk, or 7 miles in, start on west shoreline trail 528 on the NW parking lot past the day use area. Great mostly flat trail for backpacking or cart camping along the west shoreline of Timothy Lake in the Mt Hood National Forest. Sites are well marked and $10 per night fee. Northwest Forest Parking Pass required for overnight parking.

Dustin is a gracious host and provides a lovely camp retreat on his Dahlia farm.  While there's an option to park amongst mature trees, I requested to be in an open area to which he obliged and it was absolutely lovely.  A very quiet place to sleep and peaceful setting to spend the day working on my laptop prior to heading into Eugene for some meetings.  Thank you Dustin!

I really wanted to give 5 stars, but they have far too many permanent residents, which makes the campground look un-kept. The grounds were ok, bathrooms were clean, price was fair, large spaces , and very good customer service.

As of Oct 2024 - still shut With gate and padlock, shut to even get into but there is a park nearby to use the restrooms if needed but no camping

Humbug is one of our favorite campgrounds. We love the easy access to the beach and the beautiful hikes.  Showers are hot and free, rangers are always friendly.

Cell service is pretty iffy here, but we manage to make it work with the cell booster.

There's a dump station and water fill, trash and recycling, water spigots throughout campground, and firewood for sale.

Tent sites in Oregon don't currently have the 25% non-resident surcharge (though I've heard that's changing soon) and there are plenty of non-hookup/tent sites that will fit RVs. There are also FHU and pull through sites.

i was in campsite 3 very short walk to see the river very quiet $28 dollars a night

Beautiful early fall days at River Bend.

Midweek, Sunday - Thursday the campground was maybe 25% filled. It was quiet! Leaves were beginning to turn colors, needles from pine tree were falling like rain.

The Santiam river is low at this time and was great for wading into, swimming if like cold river.

Kayaking the river - I dropped in at Cascadia - beautiful float back to River Bend - had to traverse quite a bit due to low water levels / avoiding the small waterfalls (5-10ft drops).

This is a nice, small, well maintained RV park near town. Foster Lake is just across the road and is beautiful with a decent trail along the lake. The road can get very noisy as it’s popular with motorcycles.

Our friends had very positive reviews about this park, so we definitely want to visit it soon. I think it will be a great getaway. The only thing I wanted to mention is that the provided map in PDF format didn’t open on my PC for some reason. But I was able to convert it online, and the issue was resolved. Using https://pdfguru.com/html-to-pdf, you can convert HTML to PDF, vice versa, and into many other formats. So I find this editor to be a great service if you need to work with PDF files. It might be useful to someone else, just like it was for me.

Jim did a great job of communicating and was attentive to all the campers, but they ended up overbooked so we were moved away from the river and into an open field. With no hookups and lacking riverfront, the night seemed over-priced. With van life on site and a full campground, it didn’t have the quiet feel we expected.
