Best Glamping near Milwaukie, OR

Several glamping campgrounds near Milwaukie provide luxury outdoor experiences within easy reach of Portland. Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground and Mt Hood Village Resort feature glamping accommodations with comfortable furnishings and modern amenities, while Oxbow Regional Park offers yurt options surrounded by natural beauty. Government Island State Recreation Area provides a unique boat-in glamping experience on the Columbia River, with primitive luxury accommodations for those seeking seclusion. These sites typically include electricity, comfortable bedding, and private spaces that blend outdoor adventure with upscale comfort. One guest shared, "We love camping on the island, as you can only get to it via boat so it is not overly populated. There are no fire pits but you can burn."

Seasonal activities enhance the glamping experience at these locations. The Clackamas River at Milo McIver State Park offers exceptional water recreation opportunities, with fishing, kayaking, and swimming available during warmer months. Silver Falls State Park, while slightly further from Milwaukie, boasts glamping sites near its famous waterfall hiking trails. Many locations provide fire rings for evening gatherings, picnic tables for outdoor dining, and access to flush toilets and hot showers. Most sites require reservations, especially during peak summer season when demand is highest. According to a camper, "Granted, it's been 90 degrees everyday so anything near water feels incredible, nothing quite as incredible as the ice, rushing Clackamas river. Whether you're going for a full day of floating down the river or want to climb your way down to a secluded chunk of river bend, there is so much this park has to offer!"

    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.

    Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest

    Gorgeous!! Bring hiking shoes & a headlamp.

    The only thing missing from this amazing camping spot is electricity and running water. Otherwise, it’s perfect! Absolutely gorgeous view of Mt. Hood, tons of hiking, a beautiful lake and camping spots for everyone. They have walk-in spots, yurts, a-frames, RV spots, a horse camp and even a few rooms at the lodge. Make sure to spend at least 3-4 days!

    Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest

    Beautiful, well maintained, generous sized campsites

    Tent sites are large and spaced out so your not right next to your neighbors. It’s a little bit of a walk to the lake but enjoyable. We stayed in the A-frame cabin which is right off the parking lot so can be busy but is a generous size lot and has some shrubbery and trees for privacy. there’s a trail out right out the back of the lot. The cabin is small and rustic. Non motorized lake. Canoe, paddle board and boat rentals available and I highly recommend.

    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!!

    Roamer Sites - Oregon

    Fast WiFi, skate park, gym, tramps

    This place is incredible. First to cover the basics.

    The internet is super fast - I was getting 75mbps up/down when I was in my tent.

    They have power/water hookups at each parking spot. The glamping tents have heaters, lights etc. There are heated indoor bathrooms with nice free hot water showers just a short walk away.

    This place is at a year round camp/school that has multiple skate parks, trampolines, mountain biking courses, all season ski jumps etc. it’s an action sports camp.

    They provide things like firewood and ice which they put in your cooler.

    The people are super nice and accommodating. Ask for Jim - he handles all the camping stuff.

    Merrill Lake Campground

    Great little campsite for last minute adventures

    There are 8 walk in sites and one drive up site, all first come first serve discovery pass required. Some sites are larger than others, but in ours we were able to fit two 6ptents and one 2p tent. All campsites have a fire ring and picnic table. You’ll still see and hear your fellow campers, but it does seem semi private. Make sure to bring toilet paper, the bathroom seems to never be stocked. Make sure to haul out all trash.

    You can’t use motorized boats and can only fly fish in the lake, but a very nice 1 mile hike is adjacent to the day use area. Also very close to Cougar for gas and supplies for emergencies. Driving distance to popular day hikes. No cell service.

    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.

    Trillium Lake

    Classic Camping, with a Great View of Mt. Hood 🏔

    Day 5/6 - Pacific North Quest (Mt. Hood)

    A classic camping spot with an amazing view of Mt. Hood across Trillium Lake. The campground is nestled deep in old growth forest with spacious sites and running water. The best feature though, is the easy access to the trails and fishing at Trillium Lake, and proximity to Mt. Hood.

    From Trillium Lake we made the short drive up to Timberline Lodge where you can access the Palmer Glacier and the zones on the south side of Mt. Hood. On the first day we skinned up to Illumination Rock for some sunset turns and on second day we explored the natural terrain and build a jump at the top of Big Zigzag canyon.

    Check out the three other campgrounds we visited on our Pacific North Quest summer ski touring trip (Smith Rock State Park, Trillium Lake, and Prairie Campground), and download the Snowledge App to see some incredible photos, along with touring stats and maps from each mission.

    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!
