Milo McIver State Park Campground
Great campsite and close to the river

TravelerTrillium Lake
Several reservable, paid spots near the lake, but if your vehicle can make it there is free dispersed camping farther down a forest road. Took a long time to find but there was a gorgeous clearing I could back my truck into and a rock fire-ring I found that I improved upon. Beautiful woods all around the spot and very secluded.

My dog and I were attacked here. Park Host admitted she should have kicked them out
It would be 5 stars if it was not for my experience. That should never have happened. Park Host admitted she should have evicted vicious dog owners. $2k vet bill, I have a broken pinky that is still open and they wanted to do surgery on. No supervisor has called me. Barely an apology. So if you want to take those kinds of risks. Also they DO NOT honor online reservations. They allow people to stay who are not paid up and take sites that have been reserved online. Management needs to step in! This could be a 5 star park if managed at all. What happened to my dog and I could have been a child, killed. But they don't seem to care?

Foster Lake RV Resort
Please explain how a resort is located adjacent to a noisy mill?
I lived in Sweet Home for 30 years. It's fun visiting in my RV, but this place is quite silly. Very noisy log trucks coming and going. Let's call a spade a spade and stop being silly.
Four pages of rules. They are terrified of being sued. So don't use the pool cuz you certainly can't have fun. Not allowed to leave your dogs in your RV is a big surprise rule. You should have ALL of your rules posted on your website. Not hard to find and a very small list.
I've been to lots of RV parks now. You are just like them. I would think a resort would be quiet, peaceful, room to spread out, and have a nice time. This is crammed, like everywhere. Very noisy. Uncomfortable to even try to explore the "resort" as there are many rules and signs posted everywhere. Reminding you what not to do. And cowgirl or cowboy? I'm just shaking my head over this stuff.
A real world look at what someone experiences here might benefit your customers but I'm sure you are raking the money in. So no worries. I cannot imagine how tourists feel when they come here. It is nothing like your website. I already knew but I thought people DESERVE HONESTY. NOT LIES. Not a resort. A park next to a very noisy mill across the street from a lake. No fires. No tables. No dog area except one which is camera monitored. Very uncomfortable place to be.

Loudest "resort" rude management
Planes, trains and automobiles....oh did I mention nosy neighbors and rude office staff? Sharon and Erika are unapproachable and judgemental office slime. Skip this place. And the pictures LIE!

Silver Falls State Park Campground
Beautiful Forest
Beautiful camping sites. Very busy. Lots of families and people. Roads are very windy and curvy be extra cautious. Wish we had more time so much to explore. If you bring your dog, you will be very limited on where you can hike too. RV sites are pretty private. Bathrooms and showers look brand new. And Camp post are extremely kind and polite.
Guide to Scotts Mills
Silver Falls State Park Campground offers cabin camping options 8 miles from Scotts Mills with electricity and heating for year-round comfort. The cabins accommodate families with two bedrooms, providing a convenient alternative to tent camping during Oregon's rainy seasons.

What to do
Hike behind waterfalls: At Silver Falls State Park Campground, visitors can explore the 7.2-mile Trail of Ten Falls loop. "The hike is amazing and beautiful though most of the trails are closed to dogs," notes Krystle K. Some waterfall trails involve challenging terrain: "BEWARE: It's WET, so bring your wet weather gear, and good, sturdy hiking shoes for slippery terrain," advises Melissa L.
Try disc golf: Milo McIver State Park Campground features two competition-quality disc golf courses. "Home of the annual Beaver State Fling, a PDGA sanctioned National Tour event, Milo McIver is an excellent host for the international players that come to the Pacific Northwest," explains Steve C. The park also offers river access with two boat launches for fishing and water activities.
Adventure activities: Camp Dakota provides numerous structured activities beyond the standard glamping experience. "We enjoyed disc golf, archery, axe throwing, a fun general store and an escape room," shares Bjorn S. The camp also features treetop canopy obstacles and ziplines that make it worth the price: "We came in thinking it was a little on the spendy side, to ending up thinking it was a bargain."
What campers like
Creek access: Metzler Park offers sites along Clear Creek where campers can enjoy natural water features. "Metzler Park offered beautiful, shaded campsites along Clear Creek. My site was just above the creek and I fell asleep to its calming sound," writes Maureen H. The park includes a swimming hole and suspension bridge that adds recreational options beyond hiking.
Heated yurts: Glamping close to Scotts Mills, Oregon includes comfortable yurt options at Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground. "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," explains Lana N., who adds that the sleeping arrangements include "a couch and a bunk bed for sleeping arrangements, with the lower bunk larger than the top bunk."
Spacious sites: Many campers appreciate the layout and privacy at various campgrounds. "The campground is well laid out and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails right from your campsite," reports Thamar D. about Champoeg State Park. At Metzler Park, Jill R. notes, "This county park has it all. Big sites for RV's or tents, beautiful creek, swimming hole, suspension bridge and lots of options for kids."
What you should know
Seasonal operations: Some campgrounds have limited seasonal availability. Milo McIver State Park operates from March 15 to October 31, while Promontory Park is only open from Memorial Day to September 30. Water activities are also seasonal - the kids' fishing pond at Promontory Park is stocked only from October to April since "the fish can't survive once the water temperature rises too high."
