ScoutBeautiful camping sites. Very busy. Lots of families and people. Roads are very windy and curvy be extra cautious. Wish we had more time so much to explore. If you bring your dog, you will be very limited on where you can hike too. RV sites are pretty private. Bathrooms and showers look brand new. And Camp post are extremely kind and polite.
TravelerThe lake is fairly low because of the time of year but it is a beautiful place with full hookups available. Pay attention to the electric since some are only 20 amps. Getting 5g coverage on T-Mobile
TravelerGreat spot for an uncrowded camping experience. Road noise on spots 1 through 10, but nice views of the river. Lower campsites - less view but less hwy noise - potentially more train traffic but not noticeable on our visit.
GuideGreat place to have a peaceful evening or longer. Showers are hot, facilities are well maintained and provided the sites aren’t all booked, there is a decent amount of space between visitors.
GuideAs other people have said, sometimes there is little separation between sites. Plus, sometimes the sites, other than were you park your trailer, are rocky and not at all level. There was a level spot near the back for a tent. The terrain is offset by the VERY tall trees throwing a lot of shade. The sun sets behind the hill across the lake, so it gets completely shady in the late afternoon. Note that the sites next to the river have chain-link fences to keep you from falling off a bluff and into the river, which, when we stayed there near the end of June, was still almost ice cold.
We chose to stay in a non-electric site, and were only able to get a little sunshine for our solar panels to help recharge.
As a product of the 1950s, the sites have a maximum RV/trailer length of 20 feet. Our 18-foot trailer and mid-size SUV fit easily. Navigation can be tricky.
My only complaint about the showers is that the non-adjustable water temperature was near-scalding hot. The showers and bathrooms were clean.
The cooking station near us was very handy for boiling water to cook pasta.
The store at the marina next door has an amazing variety of stuff for campers, including ice.
GuideAwesome place to reset, relax and renew. Ideal setup for vanlife.
GuideMy husband and I have tried to reserve a spot at Silver Falls SP in Oregon the last few years. This year we were very proactive in making a reservation as soon as the window opened. This is a beautiful park. Wonderful access to several water falls in the area. Sites are large. We stayed in a non hookup site with our 22 foot trailer. Things to consider - only a few trails are open to dogs so if you want to go close to the falls, visit the park at a time of the year that is cool enough for your furry friend to stay in your car. We visited in July. Skunks and raccoons came out to visit when it got dark. Just be aware that we are all sharing their home. Finally, there’s a little spot in the campground that you can access wi-fi but we weren’t able to sign on to it. If heading towards Salem, there’s a Willamette Valley overlook that can get a phone signal.
GuideWe had a big group come to this spot. The showers and bathrooms were nice and cleaned daily. The water was nice, but lake is always busy with boats. This place was PACKED, so lots of activity. Even though it was decent and pretty, the noise is really what made this hard to give it more stars. You are literally right off the highway. So you will hear logging trucks and traffic all night long. It was so loud that you couldn’t hear the person next to you in camp. We ended up paying for overpriced ear plugs from the store just to get some sleep the rest of the nights we were there.
GuideWe really enjoyed our one night here during our Oregon trip. We stayed in a cabin for this campsite, which we booked on reservation.gov, thankfully the check-in was smooth and code operated. The site featured potable water, a sink water drain, and water access with a boat dock and picnic tables alongside the lake a short walking distance from sites. The camp hosts (an older gentleman and his wife) are very kind and sold me fire wood in the evening (like $7). They both care very much about the site which becomes very apparent with their patrols, the way they greet you, explain the rules, and most noticibly when you go into the vault toilets of which are the cleanest I have ever seen and the best smelling. Unfortunately, we do not live in Oregon, so I can't say that I will be back this year, but if I did, I would surely revisit before the end of season.
Cabin rentals near Mt. Hood National Forest range from basic shelters without running water to furnished options with electric heat. Most cabins sit between 1,200-4,400 feet elevation, with winter temperatures often dropping below freezing. Access roads to remote cabins like Devil's Peak Lookout require high-clearance vehicles, especially after snowfall begins in late October.
Swimming in Timothy Lake: Oak Fork Campground provides direct access to Timothy Lake's clear waters. "The lake is clean and clear and there is easy access to it from the campground," notes one camper at Oak Fork.
Hiking nearby trails: Devil's Peak Lookout offers mountain views after a challenging ascent. "A 3000ft hike to get to this old fire lookout. It's first come first served and sleeps maybe 4 inside," explains a visitor to Devil's Peak Lookout.
Waterfall exploration: The trails at Silver Falls State Park showcase multiple cascades within walking distance. "Hiked for 5 hours! BEWARE: It's WET, so bring your wet weather gear, and good, sturdy hiking shoes for slippery terrain," advises a camper at Silver Falls State Park Campground.
Winter recreation: Many cabin locations maintain accessibility for winter sports from December through March. "I have stayed there twice now. I love it so much! Both times we have snowshoed in and even thou the conditions weren't perfect, we had a Blast!" shares an enthusiast about their experience at Clear Lake Cabin Lookout.
Privacy between sites: Campgrounds around Mt. Hood offer varying degrees of seclusion. "D022 was very secluded. Could fit at least 2 tents. There is no Wi-Fi, Verizon was there but I don't know where," reports a visitor to Lost Lake Resort.
Modern amenities: Some cabin facilities provide unexpected conveniences. "The cabins have electricity and bunk beds," explains a camper who hosted a small wedding at Promontory Park.
Nature immersion: Many sites place visitors directly in forest surroundings. "Very quiet and cold. Beautiful scenery and a nice place to get away. No cell service which can be good or bad. Very spacious sites that give privacy," notes a Clear Lake Campground visitor.
Educational programs: Some campgrounds offer organized activities for visitors. "The campground did, however, have awesome park staff who put on two great activities for kids every day," mentions a family who stayed at Promontory Park.
Seasonal water levels: Lakes and streams fluctuate significantly throughout the year. "The lake is not stocked with fish or even water anymore. You can practically walk across. Kayaks and canoe are great. Nothing bigger," cautions a July visitor to Clear Lake Campground.
Road conditions: Access to some cabins requires appropriate vehicles. "The road getting here is not so great (you're driving up a mountain) but passable if you go slow," advises a visitor to Tilly Jane Guard Station.
Fire restrictions: Rules vary by location and season. "Bring a bucket!" suggests one camper about dispersed camping near Clear Lake, highlighting the need for fire safety equipment.
Fuel planning: Remote cabin locations have limited services. "Have a full tank of gas there is no service and closest gas station is far away and closes at night," warns a camper at Clear Lake Campground.
Look for dedicated children's areas: Some campgrounds offer specialized facilities. "There is a playground, swimming pool, small store, cafe, bathrooms with showers (and warm water) and activities during the day for kids," notes a visitor at Mt Hood Village Resort.
Consider fishing opportunities: Stocked fishing areas provide entertainment for children. "The stocked kid's pond doesn't have much fish throughout the summer because they can't survive the heat," cautions a visitor about Promontory Park's Small Fry Lake, which is best visited from October to April.
Pack for temperature swings: Cabins at higher elevations experience significant day-to-night temperature drops, even in summer. "The weather was very hot in the day, but got quite chilly at night," reports a camper at Tilly Jane Guard Station.
Check pet policies: Not all cabin locations allow dogs. "The hike is amazing and beautiful though most of the trails are closed to dogs," mentions a visitor to Silver Falls State Park.
Site selection: Some campgrounds offer better RV access than others. "Easy to access, even for larger rigs. We stayed in 39 foot 5th wheel. Plenty of pull thru spots, full hookups, regularly spaced bathroom/showers," reports a visitor to Oxbow Regional Park.
Seasonal availability: While many cabins stay open year-round, RV sites may close seasonally. "The full hook up sites are in old growth timber giving each site a feeling is seclusion," notes a visitor to Mt Hood Village Resort, which remains open through winter.
Size restrictions: Not all cabin locations accommodate large vehicles. "DO NOT DRIVE YOUR RV DOWN TO THE STORE. Park at your site or somewhere near it and walk to the store. Not great for large equipment," warns a Lost Lake Resort visitor.
