Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mt. Hood National Forest

1,517 Reviews

Mt. Hood Village Resort in Welches provides full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service year-round, situated in a forested setting with varying levels of shade. The gravel pull-through sites accommodate large rigs, though spacing between sites varies by loop. "Some sites are private because we asked for one, but many are like a parking lot—I would let them know your preference before you book," noted one camper. Spring Drive RV Campground in Maupin offers seasonal RV camping from April to October with electric, water, and sewer hookups in a less wooded environment. Additional options include Clackamette RV Park in Oregon City with 30-amp service and Portland Fairview RV Park which accommodates big rigs with full hookups.

Most Mt. Hood area RV parks maintain paved interior roads, though navigation can be challenging during winter months when snow and ice affect mountain passes. Dump stations are available at several locations including Mt. Hood Village Resort and Clackamette RV Park, eliminating the need to relocate for waste disposal. Cell service remains reliable near major highways but diminishes in more remote camping areas. Pet policies vary by location—most parks allow pets but enforce leash requirements and designated pet areas. During peak summer weekends and fall color season, advance reservations become essential as parks frequently reach capacity, particularly those closest to popular recreation areas and mountain access points.

    Pelton Park Campground

    Great dog and family friendly campground

    Pelton park was clean and well taken care of during our visit. The park is very family-friendly, with easy physical access to restrooms, the docks and playground equipment. Pet-friendly too, stocked poo bags, poles by restrooms to hold leashes and a small fenced-in area to let the dogs run and play. Docks were clean and safe. Rental boats were well-maintained. The yomes are small, 6 people and 2 dogs is tight and gear had to stay outside with that many people, but we all fit. The lake itself is beautiful, good fishing, and appreciate the 10mph speed limit throughout the majority of the lake.

    Hideaway Lake Campground - Mt. Hood National Forest

    A high Cascade wonder

    This is a very secluded campground in the Mt. Hood National forest. It is located down a bumpy NF road. It has nine sites half of which have direct access to the lake. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. There is one pit toilet that was amazingly clean when we were there. The sites are dirt but are quite lovely. They are all heavily shaded. When we were there the Rhodies were blooming. It was pretty beautiful. There are various trails in the area and you can hike to another lake to the north. You can kayak or canoe on the lake. We saw some huge crawdads but didn't bother trying to catch any. You can fish the lake. You cannot reserve sites in this CG. Bring bug spray in the spring and summer.

    Humbug Campground

    Love it here

    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.

    Sun Outdoors Portland South

    Glamping

    This was my first experience at an RV Resort. It is located right of the interstate but feels secluded. They have both back in and pull through sites, a little tight with neighbors but I was told it is better than other RV resorts. Beautiful landscaping, indoor pool and hot tub, small market, laundry facilities, horseshoe pits on beautiful grassy area. Yes to dogs and cats and no breed restrictions! They have a nice grassy area with poop bags! Bummer no fires 🙁 If fire pits I’d give the 5th star! Also, within 15-20 mins there are amazing countryside, wine tasting, hiking/walking, Willamette River with off leash areas for dogs, and downtown Portland. Additionally there is an off leash park 8 mins away. Overall a good experience, we enjoyed our stay. My photos don’t show much of the place but their website’s photos represent well.

    Portland Fairview RV Park

    Good place for a short stay

    We were worried at first as this was our first visit to Portland. The city is filled with garbage and in desperate need of services for the homeless. We pulled into the RV park and luckily there is nothing worrisome to report. If the office is closed there is a cabinet around the corner that may contain the map with your name and directions to your spot. It is tidy and the staff were friendly during our 2-week stay. The area around it seemed like well kept neighborhoods. The train next to the park is regular so be prepared for consistent train noise. Our Verizon phones and T-Mobile hotspot had great signal here and the park offered free cable service. The spaces are pre-assigned but very tight. We unfortunately didn't get a pull-through site even though quite a few were available. It seemed the majority of people here are long-term but as I mentioned above everyone was tidy. Everyone seemed quite friendly as well. As for the facilities, they seemed to be in a bit of disrepair but not horrible. The "gym" wasn't a place that really looked useable though. Several long term people made comments on how cheap the owners are and have indicated the park is slowly but consistently going downhill. I didn't take any photos as there were no great things to accentuate. We did enjoy the fact it was close to the highway that takes you east towards quite a few sights and Hood River.

    Mecca Flat Campground

    Mecca Flats Campground

    While staying here in August 2024: -Dog friendly -No hookups -2 bars on Verizon -No shade -Madras, OR only 10 minutes away. -1 acres fenced in dog park in Madras OR (15 min. drive) -Used my credit card at the automated self pay station (super convenient). -fairly clean bathroom (toilet only). -From travel trailers to Teslas, they all have made down the road and plenty of room.

    Situated on the banks of the Deschutes Wild and Scenic River, Mecca Flat Campground is located just a mile and a half from Oregon State HIghway 26 near Warm Springs. The site features 13 individual campsites and one group use area. The southern terminus of the 7-mile long Trout Creek Trail can be accessed directly from the campground.

    Know Before You Go:

    All campsites, including the group use area are open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis; no potable water is available. The 1.6 mile Mecca Flat Road is narrow with few pullouts; use caution particularly when pulling a trailer. Access the nearby non-motorized Trout Creek Trail which fronts the Deschutes Wild and Scenic River for 7 miles where it terminates at Trout Creek Campground. Cell phone service is not available in the campground. Goathead, also known as puncturevine, is present in the area; protect your pets and bicycle tires Point of Interest:

    The Deschutes Railroad ran on portions of the nearby Trout Creek trail and Mecca Flat Road for several decades, competing with the Oregon Trunk Railroad before abandonment in the early 20th century. Look for the historic, now-abandoned tunnel near Highway 26 - but stay clear of this degrading and unstable structure.

    Port of Cascade Locks Campground

    Small and Great!

    A very small campground with water and electric only. Level sites with bathrooms and showers close. There is a dump station on site. A beautiful setting along the Columbia River. Sites back up to parking lot below for Thunder Island and native american fishing platforms. The Columbia paddle wheeler is walking distance nearby for a dinner or sightseeing cruise. Thunder Island Brewing is a couple of blocks away. I think there are only ten camp sites and a camp host that we never met. This is a hidden treasure for smaller campers and travel trailers.

    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.

    Ainsworth State Park Campground

    Suprised

    When we pulled in with our 40' Coach I thought oboy I blew it. Getting into our site was a little tight but doable. We were in a pull through tucked in the forest with full hookups. A fire pit and picnic table too! If you go camping to stay inside our Verizon phones, Sprint hot spot and over the air TV all worked. You can hear the train in a distance and a little traffic. It is a great spot and we will come here again.
