"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."

RangerCove creek campground is an hour away from Salem sitting above the south side of Detroit lake, on the right hand side of the road once you arrive in Idanha - off hwy 22 and blowout road. This campground is first come, first serve with both walk up and reservable sites. We stopped here during Labor Day weekend and there were still spots available and we were surprised! This campground is large and includes bathrooms, showers, and is short distance from Detroit Lake. There are trails nearby for hikers and the roads are paved for bike riding. You can access forest roads at the end of Blowout if you’re looking for adventure. We prefer this site in comparison to Hoover campground, Santiam Flats campground and Southshore Campground!! See you soon!
LegendThe trees are large and happily individualist here at John Neal Memorial Park, and the views from the river bank are fun and a tad take-your-breath-away-ish. This is definitely a family site, and not all that roomy, but the whole vibe is quaint and small-towny. Driving through Lyons is cool and there's enough separation between the town and campsite as to be cozy but not nosey. Just far enough from Salem too.
LegendPretty awesome campsites right on the river. That is incredibly well appointed. Full hookups for RVs electric and water. Dump station.
Some Tent sites have a built in shelter over picnic tables. Communal recycling bins. Sink dump sites near all campsites. Very nice bathrooms with full showers.
Handful of sites on the river itself. Big group camping sections and awesome group picnic shelter/hall. Day use facilities.
Very wooded and the campsites feel private. Not far from Salem. Playground and activities for the kids. Small info hut and amphitheater. Well loved but well maintained park but is affordable on BLM land.
LegendNice RV park, close enough to Portland to work for us. We don’t have a tow car so we relied on public transportation to get to downtown, which was great (though it is a 1 mile walk to the bus stop). There are many long-termers here, but due to their 10 or 15 year RV rule, all the RVs here were really nice and fancy. There’s a little area with a free table, a book exchange, some workout equipment, a kitchen, laundry, and showers. The laundry room had a designated pet washer and dryer, which I always love, so we washed all of our dog bedding here. Showers were really really nice, super hot, good pressure, clean, free. Staff was nice as well. Free wifi that worked pretty well. There’s a small neighborhood dog park right across the street.
ScoutWell we did not know that when tent camping you can only stay two weeks we were originally told we could stay as long as we wanted as long as we moved and did not stay in a spot more than 7 days. Not a bad campground just don't like the two week stay rule. Plus my cat loves it. There is a natural that can be walked, a dog park, swimming pool, also a place to throw disc golf disc's.
TravelerFun 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!

ScoutIt’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.
