"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."
"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."
$24 - $68 / night

"General: Two loops with a mix of electric and non-electric sites plus cabins.
Site Quality: All sites have paved, level camper pads, a picnic table, and a fire ring."
$37 - $46 / night
"Lots of Camping and RV spots with plenty of day use picnic tables, covered areas, playgrounds for kids as well as ramps for boat launching for fishing!"
"Feyrer Park campground is only about 30 miles off I-5, but by the end of those 30 miles you are fully ensconced in country quiet and tall, sheltering green."
"Small to medium size park right next to the gorgeous Clackamas River. Staff is helpful and friendly. Only complaint is there is no signal or wifi."
"On the Clackamas river, mostly tent sites and a few RV sites with electric. Sites spread out nicely. Marina close by with overnight moorage if you want. My site had plenty of room to keep my jet ski."
$55 - $300 / night
"The running water is drinkable. The showers are amazing, 1 quarter per minute. The store has everything but adult beverages."
"I booked this to get close to a hike I wanted to do. Showed up at night and left in the morning."
$25 / night
"The park just added two nature playgrounds that are pretty fantastic."

"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."
"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."
"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."
"is not good, not even by the “lounge”, tiny house and cabins available for rent (pet friendly options available) which is cool, laundry facility, cafe/bakery on site, nice store with good variety of food"
$15 - $63 / night
"It was cool & well-shaded, with a short path to the lake."
"I think we got lucky with a cancellation because the campsite was booked solid but one full hook up site close to lake was available about 2 weeks before our trip. "
GuideWe'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!
TravelerTent 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.
TravelerThe 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.
ScoutThere are a couple differences between the Olallie Lake Resort and its facilities vs The Olallie Lake Guard Station Cabin. Although near to each other on the lake, and both managed by the resort staff, the Guard Station Cabin is owed by the Forest Service. They do not allow pets in the cabin or in your car when you rent it.
The resort rents a number of rustic cabins themselves, along with two yurts, and operates a number of nearby campgrounds, the store, and the boat rentals.
The Guard Station Cabin must be rented from Recreation.gov , and has much less basic facilities, kitchen with hot & cold running water. Propane powered stove/oven, refrigerator , and built in lights. Pit toilet nearby,
I believe the other reviews refer to the resort's cabins.
LegendSmith 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.
GuideNot 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.
GuidePros: 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
TravelerWe 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!
TravelerBGLSP 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.
