Best RV Parks & Resorts near Rainier, OR

Multiple RV parks line the Columbia River corridor near Rainier, Oregon, offering varying levels of hookup access. Columbia Riverfront RV Park provides full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections on sites that accommodate big rigs. Toutle River RV Resort features 50-amp electrical service and multiple pull-through RV pads with sanitary dump stations available. Several parks offer concrete pads for motorhome stabilization, while others maintain gravel sites requiring more careful leveling. Brookhollow RV Park stands out with spacious pull-through sites on concrete slabs with electric, water, and sewer hookups for extended stays. "Spaces are well spaced, lots of concrete pull-through level pads. I have stayed here a couple of times now and will be back," noted one regular visitor.

Road access to most RV parks follows the I-5 corridor with relatively straightforward navigation, though some riverside locations require navigation down narrower county roads. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with stronger signals near Castle Rock and Kelso but potential dead zones in more rural parks. Most RV sites around Rainier remain open year-round, allowing for winter stays with full hookups. Laundry facilities and shower access vary between properties, with Silver Cove RV Resort and Toutle River offering more amenities than smaller operations. Travelers should note that weekend availability becomes limited during summer months and major holidays. Pet policies differ between properties, with most allowing dogs but enforcing leash rules and designated pet areas.

    Fort Stevens State Park Campground

    RV-camping

    Loved this State Park! The trails around it were fun and led from the camp right up to the beach by the old ship wreck. My kids ages 2-14 always had something to do and we brought our bikes. The camping sites and RV sites are cheap compared to Utah, Washington and Idaho rates, but they were also very nice! A little close together but nice. You have to book your site months in advance at this place because it fills up fast. So much to do in this area! Close to seaside, the fort Stevens retired military site was free and interesting-with a scavenger hunt and prize at the end for the kids who complete it. Also, close to Astoria which also has many things to do! Loved that it was close enough to drive over the Columbia River to get to Washington to see the light houses!

    Columbia River RV Park

    Basic Nice RV Park Right in Portland

    Located at the northern end of Portland not too far off the 1-5 freeway. RV campground with wide streets, nice office staff, and clean facilities including laundry, clubhouse, group kitchen area and free wi-fi. Grass in-between most spots, with some back-in sites and others being pull-through. Backs up to a busy road blocked by large bushes and under the pathway for the airport, so there's some noise but not horrible. Some full-times but sites are nice and well maintained. Overall nice, clean and well maintained large RV site within the Portland city limits.

    Circle Creek RV Park & Campground

    Dog friendly open space near Seaside

    Large RV campground just south of town. Very quiet. Friendly staff. Dog friendly including a fenced off dog run! The pups were happy to stretch their legs. Clean bathrooms and warm showers. Laundry on site. We stayed on the grass over in boondock side. Level sites. If you need power/water...those sites looked large and had decent amount of space between. We showed up after office hours and we’re still able to snag a spot.

    Ike Kinswa State Park Campground

    Camping amongst the tall trees

    This campground is on Mayfield Lake where the Cowlitz River flows into the lake. We were in loop D, which was the only open loop along with the cabins (cabins are loop C and attached to loop D). This is a partial hook-up loop. Full hook-ups are in loop A. The campground is heavily wooded which is really nice for shade, though it can make it tricky to get into a spot if you have slide outs. As we were on the outer part of the loop in a pull-through site, we had a view of the woods and quite a bit of space between neighboring sites. We could not see either of the neighboring sites while sitting by our campfire. There was a trail to the trash compactor next to our site, but it did not seem to be heavily used. The trash compactor is probably a good 1/4 mile down this trail by the dump station. It was very quiet at night, which was fantastic! Very good Verizon cell service. The day use area is out of the campground and across the main road. There is a playground and beach area. It would have been nice if there was a playground on the campground side of the park.

    Toutle River RV Resort

    I5 access

    We stayed 3 nights at Toutle River RV Resort now owned by RV Inn Style chain. Quiet and respectful campers with paroling friendly staff. I5 access is perfect, although road and train noise could be bothersome for some campers as the campground is nestled in between. The camp store and pool were open. The playground, disk golf and basketball hoops accessible but the pickle ball courts had been removed since we last visited. Sites range from open to treed with many of the pick nick tables needing refurbished. Full hookups with gravel pads for 70+$$ per night. WiFi isn’t free, must be purchased. We had spotty cell service with Verizon though we were directly off I5 corridor. The public restrooms were clean, but mostly under construction while we were camping. Many full timers w/park models and trailer/RV’s sprinkled throughout the park. All-in-all we will stay here again in the future and happy to do so.

    Reeder Beach RV Park & Country Store

    1 Night Stopover

    I was worried when Google maps brought me through the industrial section of Portland, but relieved when I crossed the bridge to the Island. Check in was fast and efficient. Can't say the staff was friendly or welcoming, Full hookups, but I don't rate it higher because there is no wifi or laundry facilities. There is also nothing around here store or restaurant wise. I enjoyed the beach and watching the ships pass by. I had good cell service. Riverside back in sites are the best. Pull through provide shade

    Fort Stevens State Park Campground

    Lots to do in this State Park

    The state park (SP) was fairly easy to find as there are SP signs well before the park, and all the way to the park regardless of which direction you are coming in from. WAZE and our RV GPS wanted to take us down other streets, but we held the course following the signs. There are multiple ways to get to the park, but the signs lead you to the most RV friendly roads. We turned into the park entrance, where there was a huge parking lot and a sign to register. Check-in was quick and easy. Our cost was an $8 online booking fee, with both of us having the Oregon State Park Disabled Veteran Pass. This pass provides 10 days of free camping per month to disabled veterans, resident or non-resident. We proceeded right out of the parking lot and to the H loop, where we drove to site H10 with FHUs. This is an old loop with lots of trees, but the road was passable with our 40’ fifth wheel. However, site H10 has a brush on the driver’s side and low-hanging trees on the passenger side. It’s a tight back-in, and you have to hit the pad exactly to keep from scraping the driver’s side, and we brushed branches on our 13.5’ roof. After several tries and some minor scraping, we got into the site. We asked a park ranger if we could trim the branches so they wouldn’t scrape the roof, especially in the wind. The ranger gave us permission to hand trim. On select loops(there’s a sign as you exit the registration parking lot on where) they sell firewood by the camp host areas for $7 a bundle. They also sell kindling for $4 a bundle. The water pressure was okay, and we had no issues with the sewer or electric. As we were here for two weeks and football junkies, we tried to get Starlink to connect with no luck as there were too many trees. We had 2 bars on Verizon, so we were able to get some internet with our MiFi. Fort Stevens is a huge campground with a variety of site sizes and utility options. The best loop for big rigs, in our opinion, is the newer O loop(water and electric 50/30/20 AMP only) that doesn’t have as many trees or shrubs between sites. The O loop’s even-numbered sites 2-26 are big-rig friendly and open enough to provide satellite shots, especially for Starlink. In general, just our opinion, loops B, C, D, E, F, G& M, are better suited for tents and/or shorter rigs(up to 35’). Class A's and 5th wheels may have trouble with overhead branches. Loops I, J, and N have plenty of sites that will fit big rigs, but read reviews as loops I and J are heavily wooded with overhead branches and brush/shrubs separating sites like in the H loop. There are a ton of trails to walk or bike. We really enjoyed all that Fort Stevens State Park has to offer, with a side benefit being all the elk roaming around the campground and deer hanging out at our campsite.

    Bayport RV Park and Campground

    Normally not a four star RV park but considering the price...

    Came here so I can kayak and calm waters. The slabs are mostly level and each spot is large with a nice picnic table and fire pit but neighbors are fairly close and not much privacy. Showers are quarter timed showers and I've seen much better and cleaner. They do have waste of disposal for a fee but they offer drinking water and full Electric and water but no sewage hookup you pay at the dump station. However it's very close to town which is very convenient and has great access to the water as compared to many other places where you have to drive à ways.

    Thousand Trails Seaside

    Seaside RV Park

    This is a split park 30 amp on one side 50 amp on the other. Right close to town and shopping, restaurants etc. the park was nice and well kept. The laundry was decent. Lots of sights to see around there. Astoria is a short drive away with many scenic spots.

The region sits at approximately 20-40 feet above sea level, creating flat, accessible terrain for larger recreational vehicles. Summer temperatures typically range from 65-85°F, while winter camping remains viable with temperatures rarely dropping below freezing for extended periods.

What to do

Columbia River fishing access: Bayport RV Park and Campground provides direct water access with paved sites and walking trails. "I love staying here! It's a small campground but the sites are a generous 25' wide with 10' separating, so even with slides and/or awnings out, you're not on top of your neighbor(s)," notes one camper.

Hiking Mt. St. Helens: Located 10 miles from Toutle River RV Resort, the Mt. St. Helens Visitor Center offers educational exhibits and trail access. "Only about 7 minutes to the visitors center for mt St. Helens. There's about 200 rv spots but they do have a couple tent spots," reports a visitor.

Disc golf course: Toutle River RV Resort maintains an on-site disc golf course perfect for family recreation. "It has a lot going on. There's a frisbee golf course that we didn't use but looks fun, really nice playground for the grandkids that's a fort, a store, swimming pool," explains one reviewer.

What campers like

Spacious concrete pads: Brookhollow RV Park features level concrete slabs that accommodate larger RVs with room for vehicles. "Spaces are well spaced, lots of concrete pull through level pads. I have stayed here a couple of times now and will be back," states one repeat visitor.

Waterfront views: Silver Cove RV Resort offers lakeside sites with fishing opportunities. "The sites almost all back up to the water and fishing is pretty easy here. Mostly crappie and bass though I've seen a couple trout or perch pulled out," describes one camper who appreciated the waterfront access.

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept shower and restroom facilities. "The bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever experienced. Beautiful flowers everywhere," reports one visitor to Columbia Riverfront RV Park.

What you should know

Road and rail noise: Several parks experience noise from nearby transportation corridors. "Was hard for us to get a good nights sleep in between a highway and train tracks. Spots were fine, bathrooms good, pool good (when not too busy)," notes one Toutle River RV Resort visitor.

Variable Wi-Fi and cell service: Internet connectivity fluctuates throughout the region. "WiFi isn't free, must be purchased. We had spotty cell service with Verizon though we were directly off I5 corridor," reports a camper at Toutle River RV Resort.

"They do have waste disposal for a fee but they offer drinking water and full Electric and water but no sewage hookup you pay at the dump station," explains a reviewer at Bayport RV Park.
