Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Scappoose, OR

1,292 Reviews

Bayport RV Park and Campground provides water and electric hookups for campers with pets in Warren, approximately 10 minutes from Scappoose. The park features clean, well-spaced sites averaging 25 feet wide with 10-foot separation between neighbors, giving pets adequate room to relax at your campsite. Sites include fire rings and picnic tables, with both paved and graveled options available. Most campers note the park is quiet despite being located near a main road. The campground maintains a strict policy requiring tents to be pitched even when car camping. Walking paths line the water, offering pleasant areas for dog walks.

Paradise Point State Park Campground in Ridgefield and Battle Ground Lake State Park Campground in Battle Ground allow pets at tent sites, RV spaces, and in cabins. Reeder Beach RV Park offers a quieter experience along the Columbia River where dogs can enjoy watching ships pass by just a stone's throw from shore. Camp Wilkerson near Rainier permits pets at both its tent sites and cabins. For boaters with dogs, Sand Island Marine Park and JJ Collins Marine Park provide boat-in access to pet-friendly camping areas, though some visitors have reported occasional issues with homeless individuals at JJ Collins. Scappoose Bay Marine Park restricts bathroom access from 8pm to 9am, which poses challenges for early-rising dog owners needing facilities during morning pet walks.

    Columbia River RV Park

    Nice place

    Nice 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.

    Dairy Creek West — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park

    spacious sites and good hiking

    We stayed here for about 5 days while we tested out our new trailer prior to a longer cross country trip. We are from Portland and this is a short drive from home.

    Sites here are spacious and have picnic tables and firepits. We had room for our 28 foot trailer plus 2 pickups (extra charge for extra vehicle though).

    Shower facilities were ok - typical campground facilities in my opinion, but at least it was an actual toilet and hot water in the showers.

    Not a ton of privacy at each site, but got some shade during each day and plenty of space to stretch out and cook/eat outside or just sit and chill.

    There are miles of hiking trails that are family friendly and the dog park has one of the best views I've ever seen from a dog park.

    The camp host we met was super friendly and very helpful. They sell firewood and ice every evening.

    Milo McIver State Park Campground

    I really enjoyed it here.

    They have a dog park, plenty of trails, several different areas to go down to the river, frisbee golf, area for horses. Good showers. There’s a great view point to see Mt. Hood. It really is a nice place.

    Clark County Fairgrounds RV Park

    Safe and Quiet

    We've been here longterm since July 2020 and have had a great experience. It's definitely costs more to stay here but we've found the location to be exceptional being close to most things but rural and quiet. It's conveniently close to the fairgrounds so lots of places to walk the dogs etc. They do tout that they are a "resort" but really no amenities to live up to that. They have a nice laundry facility and showers but no dog park (just an area designated to let them do their "business") but no pool, picnic area, etc. They have had on site management here at times but it's very sporadic, but the people they have had when here are very helpful and friendly. I did have a water leak that I reported both using their online report and followed up with a phone call which apparently went unnoticed or unheeded. I only know this because it was mentioned by someone who came by to record our water usage seemed surprised by the leak. (Hey, I did all I could do!) Overall this is a clean and well kept safe location that I would recommend to anyone traveling through, especially with large RV's and although expensive it's been perfect for our longterm situation. Just don't expect a "resort".

    Mt. St. Helens RV Park

    Very Poor Quality - False Advertising

    This place is totally disgusting and in need of repairs. False advertising, many amenities are listed on their website and are not offered, nor are in working order. Only one bathhouse, that is very dark and dirty. Rotten old stairway that leads to dog park, very unsafe. Wooden structure in children's play area is leaning and rotted. Broken metal toys. Dried grass and tall weeds everywhere, berry bushes. No maintenance. No wifi, no cable tv, no level RV spot. No public access to game room/club house area. Which looked more like their private storage area with tires. No community kitchen. Everything in total disarray and in need of repair.

    Good one night stop

    Campground was exactly what I expected after researching on their website and looking through their reviews. Very clean! We loved the indoor swimming pool, laundry room and dog park. It felt like a country club for RV resorts. We would stay again for multiple nights if the sites were bigger. No picnic table, no room for our awning, or even room to put out camping chairs. Although the sites are small, they at least have a common grass area near the office. I believe meant for dogs. My kids like a spot to play football. Other then that we really liked it here. Perfect place though for a one night stop for a good break for the family because of the pool, but the sites are way too small.
