Best Glamping near Scotts Mills, OR

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!

Great fishing and biking, the yurts are fun too.

Old little pioneer town. Has yurts and lots of hiking. Pet-friendly.

There’s cabins and yurts if tent or RV camping isn’t your thing. Close to water for.

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

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.

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.

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!!

There are a couple differences between the Olallie Lake Resort and its facilities vs The Olallie Lake Guard Station Cabin. Although near to each other on the lake, and both managed by the  resort staff, the Guard Station Cabin is owed by the Forest Service. They do not allow pets in the cabin or in your car when you rent it. 

The resort rents a number of rustic cabins themselves, along with two yurts, and operates a number of nearby campgrounds, the store, and the boat rentals.

The Guard Station Cabin must be rented from Recreation.gov , and has much less basic facilities, kitchen with hot & cold running water.  Propane powered stove/oven,  refrigerator , and built in lights.  Pit toilet nearby,

I believe the other reviews refer to the resort's cabins.

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!

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.

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!

Up at the base of Mt Hood, this large resort style campground (operates by Thousand Trails/Encore) offers various areas for camping. There are full RV hookup sites, tent sites, group tent sites, E/W RV hookups and cabins/yurts throughout. It seems most, of not all, RV sites have room for at least a small tent or more and they do allow that. There also is a few group tent sites that I saw.

As for amenities, the campground has a small store that sells the basics and some RV parts, a deli/restaurant, playground and pool.

There are trails to get to the Salmon River, not difficult by any means.

Being just a dozen miles or so from Government Camp, there are so many things to do when you want to get out of the campground.

It’s open year round, and many folks use Mt Hood Village RV Resort as a basecamp for activities for all seasons.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay, though the limited restroom and showers are oddly placed, with access only by walking the loop. There are no trails to get to them, so if you are at the other end, it’s a small hike. The plus is that the restrooms are clean and well stocked.

This place is not your typical "camping" experience. You are able to rent adorable cottages, cabins, yurts or RV spots. My family and I rented a cottage, only because he fit our family of 4 perfectly. This would be a perfect place to come if you like the outdoors and want a romantic getaway for the weekend. It is also perfect for family reunions or long weekend getaways with the family. It's great for everyone. The views are gorgeous. Mt. Hood on a clear, beautiful day just shines!! There are wonderful hiking trails nearby that my family and I took advantage of. My dad enjoyed playing golf at one of the golf resorts nearby, while my mom and siblings went for a hike. There truly is something for everyone- hiking, mountain biking, bird watching, golfing, rock climbing, fishing, mini golf, volleyball, and so much more! The resort itself has a fitness center, swimming pool, and there are a lot of great restaurants close by. You really can't be bored here! One downfall I would say is that it was a bit over priced, and it was busy. Luckily for us, we were exploring and adventuring all day so we really didn't notice how busy it was until dinner time. We got smart and ate early to beat the crowds.

Amazing place! Tons to do for the entire family! The best owner operated place in Oregon! You need to go check out everything they offer. Zip lines were a blast for our family.

A nice campground, no WiFi and no T-Mobile service though. Close enough to Portland to visit the City when needed.

Try the Oregon Strawberry Shake at Burgerville. Simply amazing.
