"As I rode up to the site, I noticed right away that it was not tucked far away from the amenities such as restrooms, and showers. It was part of one of the campground loops."
"Champoeg State Heritage Area is a great place to visit for camping, biking, and especially if you're excited about Oregon history."
$8 - $78 / night
"Just 45 minutes outside of Portland, and near the town of Estacada, is Milo McIver State Park, which I consider to be a quintessential Oregon State Park: lots of huge evergreen trees, large campsites,"
"Estacada lake is within walking distance, and there is salmon fishing within driving distance inside of the park. There is also a "bat" barn that is close by."
$28 - $81 / night
"Close to Portland so it gets a lot of day traffic. Access to river so it has summer activities. Sites for large get togethers."
"One of the reasons I really like Barton Park is because it is pretty close to my hometown, Portland. It is about 45 minutes from my place, which makes escaping the city a great place."
"There’s a fenced in dog area and lawn you can walk on leash. The only downside is that the standard sites are small and very close to neighbors."
"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."
$25 / night
"Close proximity to Multonomah Falls. Pros - bathrooms with electric outlets, free showers, deer come close and are fun to watch, quiet & fairly private stay."
"There is distance between you and other guests but if you want to meet your neighbors you can. They have ADA sites, a lake, play grounds and a welcome center."
"Right off the exit of 205, it's very easy to get to, and a beautiful spot where the Clackamas flows into the Willamette."
"But conveniently located right off of 205 and close to a lot of amenities in the suburbs of Portland. Dog friendly too as there is a park with walking paths. I am sure kid friendly too."
"A well cared for location. I think we got the last space! It’s a busy place. A bit of a head scratcher on what brings people here. Certainly located in and around a number of destinations."
$30 - $150 / night
"One star off for density, you’re right next to each other, and for the very bright street lighting in there. We thought it overkill, but perhaps they have their reasons. Super nice facilities."
"We wanted to find a place that was out of the city and a bit isolated but still a very close drive. A bonus was the proximity to the Columbia river and the nice view."
"Most spots were pull-though with decently wide streets to drive in. Even though it's just off a semi-major street, it's set back enough and surrounded by trees to be more quiet."
$22 - $63 / night
"If you want to camp in Oregon this is the place to go. There are several waterfalls and hiking trails. You can see wildlife and you can't beat the beauty. You can tent camp and they also have yurts."
"Probably the easiest accessibility to the most awesome waterfalls per few square miles in Oregon. Ample Parking and many different falls and trails to choose from"
ScoutFirst day campgrounds were open, weather was semi rainy, stayed three nights at site A4. A huge site, could have set up multiple tents. Cost to camp, $20.00 per night. 2nd vehicle free. I was pretty much alone for the whole time. ,
LegendWe were in spot 16 right next to the river. The rushing water was very soothing and loud by the way but no problem for us. The camp host came to our site and greeted us. This is a beautiful Park under the trees and next to the river. Great little walking trails and scenery. Several ponds and Creeks are nearby. The town of Lyons is not even a quarter mile away with a couple small grocery markets. There's about 32 campsites including group sites. The park is wonderful with picnic tables campfire rings horseshoe pits showers which are free with your reservation.
ScoutI had a great weekend at Willamette Mission State Park Horse Camp! The campsites are horse friendly and the trails are absolutely gorgeous- it felt like being out in the wild. After riding all day, my friends and I played Sprunki Retake, a super fun musical game that added a little spice to the evening around the campfire. If you love horses and the outdoors, this is a must-visit!
TravelerI setup camp at one of the spots here 3 nights in a row & had no visitors the entire time! Very quiet & can hear some noise in the distance from time to time, but was pleasantly surprised by the peace & quiet I got up here. I had my 3 dogs with me & only one night did they make a fuss about something outside the tent, but I assumed it was due to the pack of coyotes howling in the distance (not close!). They were just extra on edge. A little bit of trash in various different spots on this mountain which is a bummer, but I tried to clean up the spot i was in to the best of my ability for the next camper!
ScoutFor 1 night, no hookups was $37. There are bathrooms, sink. They do have a dump station.
TravelerNext to a moderately busy road, but paved spots, WiFi, lovely walking trails and bathroom and showers are clean and maintained! Must have a tent pitched, if traveling and staying with your vehicle.
ScoutFor a free place to stay it sure beats a parking lot. Lots of trees, large spaces but lots of rain in May. But if coming thr again I would stay here. You can stay up to 14 days. In night two, I got a mouse. Ugh!
TravelerWhat a find!!! We love it here. The campground is very well laid out and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails right from your campsite. The hosts are super friendly and helpful.
ScoutBarely got 1 bar of 4g at the welcome center. There's a guest wifi in the parking lot there too but it's 2 miles further to the camp ground and texts hardly go through. Would be great if there was better connectivity.
