Best Campgrounds near Salem, OR

Stopped in for a night and ended up spending 4 nights here. Cute little RV park very close to town. You can walk or bike into town for food.

This is the first RV park I've ever stayed in where the Wifi was actually decent. Was a little under the weather, so watched some march madness in my RV on the park Wifi. 

the sites are not very private, but it's right on the river with great views. A colony of feral cats lives near the railroad bridge. The hosts were great. Even invited me out to a show with them. 

Showers were good. I've stayed here twice on trips up to Portland.

Depoe Bay OR. First row on the ocean. Sunset spectacular. Staff all seem like they love it here as much as we do! Dedicated staff person available to help you park in challenging spots, if you need help. Lovely hikes along beach front. Don’t miss this one. Every camper has a big smile on their face.

Was driving down Quartzville Road looking for new areas to explore and found this campground. Amazing place to stop and let the dogs run around and enjoy the water, especially during sunset time!

Huge gravel lot with RV hookups, no sewer connection but there is an on-site dump station so that’s covered.

Corvallis, Oregon. Clean basic campgrounds. Booked online and no instructions for late arrivals so we did not have WiFi instructions nor did we have code for bathrooms. And although payment was taken online no paperwork was left giving us information after we arrived at about 8:15pm.

Been here several months and has been a pleasure. Great staff. Multiple Laundry Rooms , heated indoor pool, recreation area indoors. Hour from the coast, hour from ski areas and plenty to do in and around Albany.

We had a great time at Camp Dakota.  Our yurt was comfortable and we enjoyed disc golf, archery, axe throwing, a fun general store and an escape room.  We came in thinking it was a little on the spendy side, to ending up thinking it was a bargain.  Great service, good safety protocols and a good location.  Professional all around.  A fantastic place to bond, create memories and enjoy the outdoors.

It was great for the first month after that the owners were continuously invading our area and complaining about everything

This is my favorite place to get away with my two daughters. The sites are well spaced with a lot of plant life between them to provide some privacy. There is a path that goes around the small lake, and if you time it right the fishing is great.

Had a nice one night stop at this RV Park that had about 12 sites that were lined up along the coast. Had a couple other levels with direct views of the ocean, but you were packed in side by side with other RV’s. There are other sites that are a little more divided in some wooded areas. Full hookup with showers, Laundry etc.

As of Oct 2024 - still shut With gate and padlock, shut to even get into but there is a park nearby to use the restrooms if needed but no camping

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.

Beautiful early fall days at River Bend.

Midweek, Sunday - Thursday the campground was maybe 25% filled. It was quiet! Leaves were beginning to turn colors, needles from pine tree were falling like rain.

The Santiam river is low at this time and was great for wading into, swimming if like cold river.

Kayaking the river - I dropped in at Cascadia - beautiful float back to River Bend - had to traverse quite a bit due to low water levels / avoiding the small waterfalls (5-10ft drops).

Great location as it is across the street from the beach. It is as simple as the other two next to it and half the price! Bathrooms are clean and showers are decent. Nice helpful camp host.

Friendly, helpful staff. Clean and modern bathrooms. Great location on ocean with great sunsets. Oy negative is spotty internet (Tengo).

This is a nice, small, well maintained RV park near town. Foster Lake is just across the road and is beautiful with a decent trail along the lake. The road can get very noisy as it’s popular with motorcycles.

I dove thru. Told not welcome. 2+ year wait list to live there. Asked if I could just pay to park somewhere safely in there as a single woman, in her 40's, just to stay in my car and watch TV on my own cell service in my car? I was told no. I told them I didn't want to live there tonight, I was looking into rv living and feeling out what the lifestyle is about. Currently just a "leave no trace overnight sleep".

Nope.

Met a couple residents and park attendant/host and this is NOT A PLACE TO STAY.

Looks like some kind of laundry area and possibly 1 shower stall. CHeesy (some kind of 1/4 height saloon town cutouts) hostile, rude, unfriendly, and discriminating. Best to move straight past it.
