  Silver Falls State Park Campground

  Absolutely beautiful

  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.

  love this campground

  this is mor like glamping. they have showers and restrooms. and most sites have electricity and water. it’s very convenient and if you need to go to town it’s about 15-20 Minuets away. they have a nice dock where you can launch you kayaks and any water gear. make sure to bring sunscreen and water shoes if you decide to walk on the dock, it’s is scolding hot. They tell you there is no swimming but there is spots where you can go in and swim. just watch out for the current. We do a yearly trip here and stay for a full week. it’s the best!

  Premier RV Resort

  Wow! The yurts are amazing

  Last summer I rented a yurt at Premier RV Resorts, Salem OR, and I can’t wait to stay there again!

  Registration was quick and easy. Plenty of parking. An amazing gift shop and small store. The bathrooms were SPOTLESS and keyless/ code entry, and it was almost like they were our private bathrooms.

  We had a darling porch with bbq and picnic table, Keurig coffee maker, 2 bedrooms, dining table and living room too! Cable tv as well.

  What an amazing place!!

  Whitcomb Creek County Park

  Quiet even on a busy holiday weekend

  Stayed in Yurt #2 in the Yurt village on Fathers Day weekend. There was also a fishing tournament this weekend, so the park was completely full. The Yurt Village stayed very quite. Most noise was the Trucks/Boat coming and leaving the boat ramp which is about 400yds away. 

  Yurt #2 & 3 are deluxe yurts. All this means is you get a larger deck and propane firepit. To use the firepit you need to bring your own propane, large 20lb style. The Yurts have solar lights inside and out, not sure how long they run, but they lasted us a weekend with conservative use. There is 2 pit style bathrooms in the yurt village. Bathrooms are located at the parking lot.

  The yurt village is a ways from the RV/Tent sites. Not a quick or easy walk. 

  Parking at the yurt village is a little walk from #2 and #3. Best to bring a wagon or such to help transport. Its about 100yd walk each way. 

  There are 3 beds, one full side bottom with a twin bunk on top and one full size futon. There is a dining table and 4 chairs. There is no running water, bring your own water. I saw a fountain near the parking lot, but did not test it. 

  While it says no pets, one other yurt had two well behaved dogs. The park knew and didnt stop them, so make your own decision with your pets but dont ruin it for others please.

  Weather was pretty good for us. No mosquitoes, though lots of nats but able to sit outside all day without being bothered too much.

  Devil's Lake State Recreation Area

  Great spot close to Portland, a lake and the coast

  Great campground with lots of trees for privacy and the lake is lovely with lots of fingers that lead off the main lake so you can find solitude on the lake when fishing or just bobbing around.

  There are ten Yurts for rent so if you're not up for tent camping the yurts are nice. Note there is only one pet friendly yurt and it books up quick.

  Good for biking, heated yurts, smaller tent spots

  We've been here 3 times, once for tent camping and twice in a yurt. The yurts are heated, and a couple of them are pet friendly, which is great for us! There is a small table in each yurt. Theres a couch and a bunk bed for sleeping arrangements, with the lower bunk larger than the top bunk. Great walking trails and day use areas, and our favorite thing about this place is biking on the biking trails surrounding the area. Beautiful and close to civilization for a quick and low key camping trip. Great for beginner campers and families!

  Champoeg State Heritage Area

  Amazing Campground Close to Portland.

  We had a great time at a vintage trailer rally at Champoeg State Park. Super-close to Portland, with great facilities, a dock, good sized camp sites and even a cool museum. Definitely worth a trip. The small town of Aurora, Oregon, is across the freeway and worth a stop if you're into ice cream or antiques. Campground also includes cabins, yurts, and if you really want to save money--it's just $5 if you come by bike.

  Devil's Lake State Recreation Area

  Yurts/Tent

  I stayed in one of the dog friendly yurts that they offerend at Devils Lake, and had a great time. It is very nice, and well maintained. You can either set up a tent, stay in a yurt, or bring your camper. The campsite is not too far from town, and walkable distance to the beach. You also have a nice path back to your own lake! Not a lot of people crowd the lake either, so it is a lovely getaway!

  Tight sites

  TThis is a great lil campground on the shores of the North Fork Reservoir! The sites are tightly spaced with cabin, yurts and tent camping available. There is trout fishing starting May 22 and continues through October. Cheap way to get out of the city

  Camp Dakota

  Everything and More

  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.

  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.

  Great trails close to Salem

  This park has a great interpretive center, rangers, and trails. This is one of the closer State parks to the Salem-Keizer area. Worth the drive.

  Great spot for locals!

  Fun place to visit if you live in Yamhill County (or even Salem/Keizer area). Especially when you want something close by and need to get out and explore! Pet friendly, great nature walks, and so much to see!

  Precious area and tranquil campground along the Williamette River

  This is a jewel location for a park. Not only are there 16 miles of off road biking trails, there is a large open area for frizz-bee Golf with baskets. This campground accommodates RVs, and walk in Tents and there are Yurts and Cabins to rent. I have enclosed a photo with the rates for this year. There is also a camping areas along the river accessible from a boat. There was a great little museum store with the history of the area as a beaver trapping area that was farmed by trappers who settled there.

  Devil's Lake State Recreation Area

  We love Devil's Lake

  We have been to Devil's Lake many times.  We have tent camped in the summer and stayed in the yurts during winter break.  It's a great campground.

  The entrance is right in Lincoln City, so you're close to lots of things to do as well as stores to shop at if you forgot any supplies.

  There's both the ocean and the lake nearby so there is plenty of recreation opportunity.

  The campground was closed at the height of the pandemic, but it is open for use again and filling up for summer.

  Definitely recommend.

  Great escape for those not wanting to travel far from Salem-Keizer area

  This campground is a wonderful escape for someone who is not wanting to travel too far from the urban areas like Salem-Keizer. It is a quiet campground with a designated Dog area, beautiful cabins, trails, and an interpretive museum. The cabins are covered with stink bugs at certain points of the year, be forewarned.

  Champoeg State Heritage Area

  Historic Site, Variety of Camping options, beautiful area

  Do you want to; Tent, RV, Cabin or Yurt camp? Well this place is for you. Small campground overall however it is very much a place to camp! Located at the historic Champoeg State park there are a number of buildings and preserves that are dedicated to the history of the fur trading of the era. From Frisbee golf courses to numerous hiking trails, horseshoe pits, museums and festivals galore! Camping alongside the Willamette River allows you to canoe, kayak, paddleboard, water ski / wakeboard, or any other boating sports. Fishing is alright- not the best I have fished here but they are out there. Clean bathrooms, "public" dock, great site layouts, close by to portland and surrounding suburb areas- go Wine Tasting one day and then sleep in the various oak groves under the stars. EXCELLENT location to get a taste of Portland without getting city.

  The best

  Well, we have lived in the Salem area for 15 years and have always said we needed to camp here but could never get a campsite because it was always booked on weekends. Retired this year and we had weekdays open and discovered why this is such a popular camp. This is one of the nicest campgrounds we have ever stayed at. Grounds are beautiful with lots of room between campsites. The hiking and bike trails are great with lots of interesting sites to see. If your into geocaching there are lots to find. We camped at Champoeg State Heritage Area in a Fifth Wheel.

  Fish Creek (OR)

  Great Family gathering place!

  This was the first time my husband and I have taken our kids (age 6 & 4) camping and it was a great experience! We were part of a large group (17 people in all) and there are a lot of great sites that connect and quite a few larger sites for a large party. We had 3 sites all next to each other and could move freely between them, no problem. Lots of great trees for hammocks, fire rings with grills. Water was an old hand pump well but that was part of the charm. Toilets are locker style (outhouse if you will) which did psych out our 4 year old a bit but we managed. No showers or hot water but we spent most of our time playing in the river that runs by the campground. So many wonderful places to go kayaking and rafting as well as charming little grottos along the river to explore. Yurt sites available and the camp hosts were wonderful and knowledgeable!

  Devil's Lake State Recreation Area

  Everything you need

  For being kind of in the middle of town, this campground has all the nature you need. It's in a weird corner, squished between Hwy 101, Devil's Lake, and the ocean. But when you drive out you are right back in the middle of town. It was raining most of the weekend we were there, and our tent was squished in between two yurts (C31) that had big groups camping in them. But they were quiet. Many of the tent sites were closed because they were flooded from all of the recent rain. Our spot was a littles squishy in the table and fire pit area, but we stayed off that.

  The bathroom was close, and had both a hot and a cold water knob! So many of these state park places just have the one push button and you get whatever temp comes out. So the showers and bathrooms are clean and roomy. 

  I think you could technically have pizza delivered to your campsite here since it is so close to town. But I didn't try it.

  Crowded Disc Golf Fun

  I am going to try staying here again in the winter, the sites are small and close enough together that in peak summer season it’s pretty darn noisy, the joyful din of summer break.

  Lots of trees around the tent sites so there is a lot of shade which is nice. Shorter driveways though so not a lot of room for extra cars. The ADA accessible spots are great, paverstones under the picnic areas and such; very nice.

  If you like disc golf this is definitely the place to go, huge sprawling shaded course is very inviting and everyone who was playing looked like they were having a good time. Great destination for lazy bike rides, miles of paved low incline trails. Plus as well, they have a bike tools available as well, a work station for light repairs.

  Full service campgrounds, yurt sites have more space around ‘em so it may be a better option for in the future.

  Good river and fishing access, lots of low-key trails to explore. Dogs are welcome on leash and there is a designated area for them to romp too.

  Would Definitely Recommend!

  I had amazing time here this last Labor Day weekend with all my friends! I haven’t been camping in a couple years due to my anxiety after being diagnosed with IBS but this campsite eased my worries and I was finally able to enjoy myself with my friends! My only complaint was that they ran out of toilet paper a lot and it would take a long time for it to get filled and the toilet needs to be cleaned out more often but other than that, no complaints here! If you loved camping at fisherman’s bend, you’ll like it here! While I didn’t see any showers while I was there, the campsite was tidy and the sizes of the sites varied. There were even sites for RV and Yurts you could rent out. The boat dock/swim area isn’t too much further from the campsite. But you won’t get much service if you have TMobile. My friend that has AT&T had one bar but that was about it. I highly recommend and will DEFINITELY be visiting as often as possible! It’s my new favorite campsite!
