    People call it the “crown jewel” of the Oregon State Parks system, and once you visit, you know why. Silver Falls State Park is the kind of standout scenic treasure that puts Oregon firmly onto the national—and international—stage. Camping: The main Silver Falls campground has tent sites, RV spots and cabins. Bring your horse and stay in the horse campground. If you need an area for many people, the park also has group tent and RV camps, and the historic Youth Camp for up to 250 campers. Waterfalls: Where else can you walk behind a waterfall? Check out the famous South Falls and see what a 177-foot curtain of water looks like from behind. It’s part of the Trail of Ten Falls, a spectacular, nationally recognized hiking trail that weaves through a dense forested landscape. The trail passes a series of breathtaking waterfalls along a rocky canyon, and descends to a winding creek at the forest floor. This 7.2 mile loop is considered to be a moderate hike, with an overall elevation change of 800 feet. Several connecting trails with separate access points make shorter routes. For everyone’s safety— absolutely no pets allowed on the Canyon Trail. Pets on leash are allowed on all other trails. Boots, bikes, paws, hooves: The park offers more than 35 miles of backcountry trails for mountain biking, hiking or horseback riding (see guided ride info below). Bears and cougars live in the more remote park areas. Daytime activities: The South Falls Day-use area has spacious lawns, barbecue stands, picnic shelters, tables, a playground, horseshoe pits, an off lead area for dogs, and a charming creek. Ever since the opening day in 1933, visitors have been using these grounds for potlucks, family reunions and weddings. The Silver Falls Lodge and Conference Center offers a variety of amenities. Relax and enjoy comfortable lodging within the wooded setting, or feast at the many catered specialty events. Enjoy a preordered meal at the historic dining hall or order a box lunch to take on a hike or to your campsite. They also specialize in hosting special events! Visit silverfallslodge.com or call 866-575-8875. Guided horseback rides: Silver Falls Riding Stables at Howard Creek offers five horseback rides daily through Sept. 29. Advanced reservation recommended. Visit silverfallslodge.com for times and rates.

    Champoeg State Heritage Area features a rare combination of history, nature, and recreation. Situated south of Newburg along the scenic Willamette River, Champoeg's forests, fields, and wetlands recreate the landscape of a bygone era. This is the site where Oregon's first provisional government was formed by a historical vote in 1843. A thriving town of 200 was established, only to be washed away during a great flood in 1861. This rich history earns the park’s placement on the National Register of Historic Places. A diversity of activities await. Enjoy walking or biking on the paved trails that pass historical landmarks and hug the river. Play the 18-hole disc golf course under the oak trees, relax at the multitude of scenic picnic areas, or fish or kayak from dock on the Willamette River. For RV's there are 21 full-hookup sites and 54 electric sites with water. The ecologically rich landscape is home to more than 130 bird species, including seasonally nesting western bluebirds and acorn woodpeckers.

    Camp•hub, real cuisine, and BnB outdoor boutique hotel.

    Immersing yourself into the outdoors, if only for a drizzly afternoon stroll, is not simply refreshing—for Oregonians, it’s practically fundamental to experiencing a flourishing life in the Pacific Northwest.

    Setting out on the trail or sleeping under the stars can be the restorative breath of fresh air that can completely transform a mindset. That transformation in mindset could have significant impacts on the climate of surrounding environment + the local community, and that's not something to take lightly.

    From the outset, our mission at Silver Falls Hospitality has been to learn firsthand from the very nature of the wilderness, and directly from those who have been stewards of the land before us. As a small business and as a blossoming cohort of creatives and a "boots-on-the-ground" team, we aim to convey the resilience that we have gained & have continuously learned from, and hope to instill those values into the hearts and minds of the sojourners, friends, locals, and families that we are honored to host.

    Quiet Mid-September

    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).

    Don’t stay here

    Narrow sites. Old bathroom features. Cat poop everywhere. Even in the middle of the roads and around the fish cleaning station. Saw cats pooping under rvs.  The rabbits are long gone, replaced by loose cats. Mostly long term folks. People at end of row E argue loudly at night. No wifi code  given if you arrive after hours nor code to the bathrooms.  Nice dog yard which is the best feature.

    So beautiful, clean, and staff is friendly!

    This was one of my favorite established campgrounds I stayed at on my roadtrip through Oregon. The big trees are perfect shade and beautiful. The roads are perfect for biking and there’s a bike trail in the campground that leads you straight to the park. Bathrooms and showers are clean and well taken care of. There is an incredible trash and recycling center at the front of the camper ground. Campsites can be decently close to one another, so not secluded but that wasn’t an issue for me. Obviously with family’s there’s going to be noise early in the morning and late at night so just be aware of that. But I didn’t mind, and wish I could have stayed here one more night. Something I was also pleasantly surprised by was how the trees blocked excessive heat. There was a heat wave going on during the time I was there but I didn’t have a problem at all here. It was such a relief.

    Camping Visit 2024

    Clean showers, private, lots of trees, clean site, hiking, swimmable water (3 seconds was freezing but easily adjusted), inner tubing, agate hunting in the river, 9 miles away from Safeway. If you have Verizon, you will likely have WiFi Connect. AT&T had poor connection. Super beautiful site.

    Clean and average

    They ignored my issue with the sprinkler system leaving my lot with 2-3" of water until 11am. No broken lines just a timing issue but they didn't do anything about it over my 3 day stay. Nothing to help, just looked and said, Ya, that's a lot of water. Of course it was deepest near my steps, even said I couldn't put down a mat cause it would ruin the grass. At least they couldve acted concerned.

    Nice Trails and History

    A nice spot nearby to Portland. Able to make a day trip on the Columbia River Gorge. Sites in Loop A are close together and pretty open, but sites in Loop B are much further spaced and more private. Nice enough place to visit and spend some time, but not sure if we'd go back with other places around.

    Facilities: Showers and bathrooms were good, separate shower rooms, no backup pit toilets (an issue when the water went out one day), a lot of good trails for hiking and biking with the dogs

    Cell Service: Good enough Verizon and T-mobile to work remotely

    Starlink: While we didn't need to use it, some sites were using it nearby and have a clear enough view to probably make it work

    Solar: A few sites, primarily in the B-loop, are open enough for solar in some way

    Cruel to employees

    They lie to your face. Catherine Thagard is downright racist. She is claims policies that are not written. They threaten you, and are horifically aggressive. They bend their "rules" and policies dependent on "who" you are. Most importantly, they treat their employees horribly. Only stay here if you want to fund a racist, masaginistic company that willingly abuses their staff.

    Disgusted

    They invent new policies as they see fit. Their employees approve your stay, then management comes by and threatens to ask to to leave without refunding you. The bathrooms are hideous, the sites are next to their dumping grounds and management will harass you. If you are female, don't stay here. The male manager Tyler is creepy and very threatening.

    Location & recent upgrades

    Pacific City is a gem. You can walk to the beach, dunes, waves, campfire on the beach, brewery, super extensive market, gear rentals, indoor pool, coffee shop, restaurants - they’re all right here. Want to head into the cute town - borrow a cruiser bike from the gear shop. Want to sand surf the dune - borrow a sand board. Did I mention the delicious pizza place and pelican brewery. It’s just awesome. We’ve stayed at Harts Camp, Cape Kiwanda RV and the hotel. Each have a different vibe so it depends on what you’re going for. But you can’t go wrong.

Pool is open, new ownership, awesome gear borrowing system for bikes & Sand boards, delicious pizza, great playground, clean bathrooms and laundry, adorable bunnies… the list goes on. Anything you need is a very very short walk away and the best part… the OCEAN - waking up to the sound of the surf is incredible.

    Dirty and Depressing RV Park

    This KOA has potential but doesn't achieve it due to a lack of maintenance and site keeping rule enforcement.

    Most of the RVs camped here look like they are incapable of moving, let alone being safe driven on highways. Many sites are filled with junk and/or trash. One site was filled with trash. Not trash in bags but empty food cans, soda can, apple cores... they simply opened the trailer door and threw trash outside. They had a large dog that they didn't pick up after and in addition to the trash, the site was littered with big piles of dog poop.

    Don't come here expecting a nice campground, I haven't been RVing long but this one is the most depressing and disgusting campground that I have seen.

    Polished Camping

    This is a well-maintained, "polished" campground, perfect for first-time campers or if you're still needing some higher ammenities. They have the nicest camp bathrooms I have seen, and include showers with hot water. They have a self-service area for firewood, ice, and firestarters that you can pay for with card or cash (only up to $5 bills) and then grab what you need. The trash area has a large compactor with recycling and glass bins. 

    Overall, it's enjoyable and provides a very comfortable camping experience. This is also a very family-friendly campsite, but that meant hearing screaming children well into 10 at night and early in the morning with little time to enjoy to sounds of being out in nature. Children would be riding their bikes up and down the campsite loop yelling and playing, again fine for family-friendly camping but not ideal if you're not there for that. 

    We stayed at campsite 85 which had little privacy with the neighboring spot of 83. Would be a good spot for a family or group of friends to book out both spots for shared space. Not many trees in ideal spots if you're here during rainy season and need to tie up some shelter. There were ants all over the campsite but they didn't seem to be too much of an issue. A group of deer wandering down the camp road eating plants, seems undisturbed by the presence of humans. Also had a small skunk wander up to our trash bag and try to get in. 

    This campground is an easy walking distance down a trail to access the trailheads, park, and lodge area (less than a mile). Your camp parking pass also doubles as a day pass to part at any of the surrounding spots in the park if you prefer to drive there.

    This place sucks.

    If you show up late for a Yurt rental, things will get hectic real fast! The information on their website conflicts with their actual practices, which is exactly what the Ranger (Kyle Parker) told me, so don't expect a refund or anything like that if you show up and your rental is locked. 

    It seems this place is run by people who barely work, so when something comes up, they're grossly unprepared/ incompetent.

Guide to Salem

Camping near Salem, Oregon, offers a mix of beautiful scenery and fun activities for everyone. Whether you're looking for a family-friendly spot or a peaceful getaway, there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.

What to do:

  • Hiking the Trail of Ten Falls: This trail takes you past ten stunning waterfalls. It's a highlight for many visitors, with one camper noting, "The highlight for us is the Trail of Ten Falls... The entire trail is just over seven miles but there are shorter loop options."
  • Exploring Silver Falls State Park: This park is a favorite for its lush trees and well-maintained trails. One happy camper shared, "The big trees are perfect shade and beautiful. The roads are perfect for biking and there’s a bike trail in the campground that leads you straight to the park."
  • Fishing and Swimming: Many campgrounds near Salem, like Waterloo County Park, offer access to rivers for fishing and swimming. A visitor mentioned, "It’s dog friendly with a dog park. During the week is better just because of younger groups who like loud music and some late nights."

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate well-kept bathrooms and showers. One reviewer at Silver Falls State Park Campground said, "Bathrooms and showers are clean and well taken care of."
  • Friendly Staff: Many campgrounds have attentive staff. A visitor at Champoeg State Heritage Area noted, "The park rangers are quite attentive and friendly."
  • Spacious Campsites: Campers enjoy having room to spread out. A review for Olde Stone Village highlighted, "This is probably the cleanest park we have been to... The spots were spacious and a lot were pull through."

What you should know:

  • Noise Levels: Some campgrounds can be noisy, especially during peak times. A camper at Albany-Corvallis KOA mentioned, "One of the showers in the ladies bathroom didn't seem to get hot, but the one in the middle did, so we weren't out a shower."
  • Limited River Access: Not all campsites have direct access to the river. A visitor at John Neal Memorial Park said, "The river access is limited if you’re not staying directly on the river."
  • Wildlife Encounters: Be prepared for wildlife. A camper at Waterloo County Park shared, "We had someone get into our truck and steal some money out during the night... Just use caution."

Tips for camping with families:

  • Choose Family-Friendly Campgrounds: Look for places with activities for kids. A parent at Fishermens Bend mentioned, "This campground is perfect for young families... the bathrooms were nice, paved 'roads,' short trails, easy river access, and lots to do."
  • Plan for Noise: Expect some noise from other families. A reviewer at Silver Falls State Park Campground noted, "Campsites can be decently close to one another, so not secluded but that wasn’t an issue for me."
  • Pack Games and Activities: Bring along games to keep kids entertained. A visitor at Champoeg State Heritage Area enjoyed the frisbee golf and other outdoor activities.

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Sizes: Some sites can be snug. A reviewer at Pheasant Ridge RV Resort said, "The only downside is that the standard sites are small and very close to neighbors."
  • Look for Amenities: Choose campgrounds with good facilities. A camper at Clackamette RV Park mentioned, "Just a gravel parking lot with hookups. But conveniently located right off of 205 and close to a lot of amenities."
  • Be Prepared for Weather: Check the forecast before you go. A visitor at Albany-Corvallis KOA noted, "The bathrooms were clean but showers are small with a small attached dressing area."

Camping near Salem, Oregon, has something for everyone, from families to solo adventurers. Just remember to plan ahead and enjoy the great outdoors!
