ScoutThe folks in reservations are very helpful and the rangers at registrations are easy and helpful.
GuideThis was a really fantastic campsite! Definitely quite the long and slow drive up a narrow backcountry road - steep in sections but overall quite manageable. There are a few options up here but one really phenomenal site with wide ranging views. Be weary that it is a long drive to get here and no way to tell if there's sites available until you do the entire drive up. No water up here.
RangerMy mistake, these coordinates took us to the top of the mountain. It is currently an active logging area, so the truckers are out at 3am. The road up was a very narrow road. So careful if there’s other cars coming through, especially the logging semis.
Nonetheless a cool spot. Dry camping. Please clean up after yourselves.
ScoutJantzen Beach RV Park was a solid spot for our trip—clean, quiet, and really close to Portland. The facilities were well-kept, especially the showers and restrooms, which made our stay a lot more comfortable. Our pull-thru site had plenty of space, full hookups, and reliable Wi-Fi and cable. We especially enjoyed relaxing by the heated pool after a day out. The walking paths along the Columbia River were a nice touch too. There are quite a few long-term residents, but it didn’t take away from the peaceful vibe. It's a convenient base for exploring the city or just unwinding in your RV. During downtime, I also found myself getting into a fun game called shadow—perfect for relaxing in the evenings.

TravelerThere are several spots off the road around these radio tower stations and it is quite secluded. We didn't see any other person the whole time we were there. The spot we chose was the best as it is away from the towers and buildings, plus has a great view overlooking the valley and bay, and you can see the ocean between the peaks in the distance. The road getting here is a bit rough with lots of washboard, steep grades and rocks. But it's fun. No amenities, obviously, but there is a concrete pad from an old structure you can park on. Other sites have solid pack gravel covered by grass.
TravelerBirds Eye View has spacious sites. Nice play area for children and grassy areas for dogs on leash. The little store is inviting with very good ice cream and a treat for the pups. Sunday had a pancake feed available. The showers and bathrooms are cleaned regularly. Thoroughly enjoyable.
ScoutNice place for the weekend .
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. ,
