The cabins range from simple one-room structures to more substantial accommodations with separate sleeping and dining areas.

The tent sites were pretty close to each other and there were a lot of kids."

Rustic cabin rentals near Silverton generally require advance booking, especially during summer months when families seek outdoor getaways. Silver Falls State Park's cabins remain particularly popular due to their proximity to hiking trails and waterfalls. Some locations offer pet-friendly options, though policies vary by site.

My family stayed in one of the tiny cabins. The cabin was very clean and well kept."

    Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground

    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!

    Oxbow Regional Park

    Close to the city with awesome playgrounds

    The park just added two nature playgrounds that are pretty fantastic. One of the new playgrounds, right before the boat launch, features a trail with a mud kitchen, two a-frame tents and a big area where you can use fallen logs and branches to build shelters.

    The other nature playground is right across from the old playground (still in use) and has a wooden water course with a hand pump and an elevated wooden plank course.

    Camping can be a little loud since it's a popular spot and there are no pets allowed, but it's barely 30 minutes away from Portland and right on the Sandy River.

    Smith Creek Village — Silver Falls State Park

    Very nice cabin getaway

    Smith Creek Village is such a great place for easy lodging in nature. My family stayed in one of the tiny cabins. The cabin was very clean and well kept. The cabin was nearby a few other similar cabins, but everything felt very private. There was nice walking paths and a large grass area supplied with lawn games.

    We decided to take the easy route this particular trip and ate all our meals at the Big Leaf Coffeehouse. The food there is fantastic and the building has a cozy lodge vibe.

    Another thing that I loved about Smith Creek Village is that although the Silver Falls state park is always busy, Smith Creek Village is not. It feels like a hidden gem inside the state park. We definitely plan on coming back.

    Mt Hood Village Resort

    The Ultimate Mt Hood Base Camp

    Not my normal camping scene, but decided to for an early summer ski session with the kids, we didn't want to completely rough it, but also didn't want to pay hotel prices. So, one of the standard cabins here was the perfect compromise. Roof over our heads, actual beds, room for three of us to be able to gear up for the day. But still had a fire pit outside, and picnic table for outdoor cooking. (Also the standard cabins don't have bathrooms, so you still need to go to the shared restrooms.)

    The property overall was really nice, lots of amenities. We also took a walk through the RV/Tent camp sites. Its very similar to a KOA style of resort. We enjoyed it for what it was.

    Smith Creek Village — Silver Falls State Park

    Cozy cabins, close to falls.

    We stayed in a rustic cabin at this park and it was perfect. Two full beds and two small bunks make for an affordable spot for friends to gather. Book in advance because it fills up fast. The cabins are basic, but do have electricity. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. The tent sites were pretty close to each other and there were a lot of kids. Walked to the waterfalls from the cabin in the early am, amazing!

    Smith Creek Village — Silver Falls State Park

    Beautiful location-great hiking nearby!

    This campground is one I wanted to visit for the chance to check out the hiking trail nearby that has tons of waterfalls along it (Ten Falls Trail). I wasn't sure I would be able to hike very far and I was right. I hiked down into the canyon to walk behind South Falls. It was spectacular! I’m glad I hiked that particular trial since I only had enough energy for that one. It was quite steep down into the canyon and wet in most areas. Watch your step! The full trail is 8.2 miles. They had a nice place to buy snacks and meals, a gift shop, and had nice printed trail information posted at the trailhead. The campground itself isn’t huge and was fully booked, but it is decently laid out (sites have nice space between them). Most sites are shaded. They sell firewood, have a pavilion with picnic tables, a playground for the kids, and have a few small cabins you can rent by the night. The campground is kind of close to a somewhat busy road, but the noise wasn’t too bad. The bathhouse was clean and approximately 100 yards from my campsite down a footpath. The only thing I was disappointed to see was that two of the 4 showers were out of order. I had fantastic cell service here (AT&T) and was able to text, call, and go online on my phone (which is nice since I work online). Given the fact that I was unable to physically do more hiking this trip, I would definitely come back to this campground to try another section of the trail to see more waterfalls since the trailhead is only 1.5 miles from the campground.

    Smith Creek Village — Silver Falls State Park

    Lovely

    Went with an ex many years ago. We stayed in one of the small cabins very close to the upper trail to the falls.I think... lol

    The cabin was cozy and stayed very warm as we went in the winter. We only walked around a short ways but the snow was beautiful and it was serenely quiet.

    River Bend County Park

    Nice, well maintained, on the river!

    We had a great time staying at River Bend! This was our first trip here and won’t be our last, we’ve already made reservations for next year.

    The sites were maintained very well and the camp hosts were very friendly. In addition to the paved driveway for our trailer, there always a nice, large concrete pad for the picnic table with a fire pit built on to the corner. The neighboring site on the right was 20-30 yards away and the site on the left was 100+ yards away. Lots of trees all around, good shade for those hot August days.

    The bathrooms for the loop were a nice walk but not too far and they were cleaned 2x per day.

    We spent most of our days at the river swimming, floating in tubes, skipping rocks and looking for crawdads. It was an easy walk on well maintained trails to get to the river.

    The playground and adjacent field were fun for playing and games in the evenings.

    Being a long, hot year there were no fires allowed in the fire pits. That was a small bummer, but the fire danger was so high that it wasn’t a big deal. We used our propane fire ring instead and that was great. Kind of nice coming away from a camping trip and not smelling of smoke 😁

    Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground

    Great place for Families!

    I stayed in the 1 of 5 tent spaces. They were a bit close to the other sites, but still large enough for a few tents if needed. There was only 1 parking lot for the tent/cabin spaces, so had to carry all my stuff about 100 feet. The bathrooms were clean and well lit at night. The bike paths through the campground/park were great and lots of people were using them all day. I walked the path around the entire park, which took me about 3 hours. Along the way got to see the Champoeg Heritage site with period piece actors, wide open spaces, and the Willamette River. There was a huge playground for the kids. There was also a large field area for dogs to roam around, just no fence. For being so close to the greater Portland area it felt like we were much further away. I would recommend this place, just make reservations early.


Guide to Silverton

Most cabin accommodations in the Silverton area are located in mountainous terrain ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 feet elevation, accessible via OR-214 and OR-22. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing with summer highs reaching 80-90°F. Cabin availability varies seasonally, with most facilities open year-round but experiencing higher booking rates May through September.

What to do

Trail exploration at Silver Falls State Park: The park features 10 waterfalls along a 7-mile loop trail. "What can I say? Silver Falls is a magical place and everyone should experience it. You can just get lost in the beauty of it all," notes Jeff K. about his stay at Silver Falls State Park Campground.

Wine tasting excursions: Several cabin rentals provide convenient access to Willamette Valley vineyards. Bradley M. who stayed at Dundee Hills Resort shared, "Perfect home base for wine country and only 30 minutes from Portland. Super friendly and helpful staff."

Seasonal activities: Winter visitors can access Mt. Hood skiing while summer offers river recreation. A visitor to Mt. Hood Village Resort commented, "Easy to access, even for larger rigs. Nice store for basic needs, nice laundry room."

What campers like

Heated accommodations: Cabin heating systems allow for comfortable winter stays. "The cabins are small but comfortable with heat, lights, and beds. Covered porch is nice to sit and listen to the rain," writes Jeff K. about Silver Falls State Park Campground.

Access to nature trails: Many cabins connect directly to hiking paths. "There is a nice off leash dog area, but it's not fenced in, so heads up on that too. The camping area is a short walk across the highway from the beautiful day use area," mentions Laura M. about Silver Falls State Park.

Covered outdoor spaces: Many cabins include covered porches for enjoyment during rainy conditions. "My family stayed in one of the tiny cabins. The cabin was very clean and well kept. The cabin was nearby a few other similar cabins, but everything felt very private," notes Derek N. about his experience at Smith Creek Village.

What you should know

Weather preparation: The area experiences significant seasonal variation. "THE most beautiful park in Oregon that we've seen! Hiked for 5 hours! BEWARE: It's WET, so bring your wet weather gear, and good, sturdy hiking shoes for slippery terrain," advises Melissa L. about Silver Falls State Park.

Wildlife awareness: Raccoons and mice can be an issue in certain cabins. Graham C. explains about Smith Creek Village: "On the first night we were awoken to rustling through our stuff in the other room and when I checked it out a mouse booked it out of there. Not a big deal but my fiance and I found it a little hard to sleep after that."

Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities require advance bookings. "This is a gorgeous state park, absolutely worth the visit even if you're just coming to the day use area. Amazing hikes, the main one being the one with 10 waterfalls - dogs aren't allowed on this one though," Laura M. notes about Silver Falls State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning: Cabins near established recreation areas provide organized activities. About Camp Dakota, Jason S. shared, "We did a group site and once we got the wristbands on the kids, they went off and explored and had a lot of fun. The staff is #1 safe, then #2 they are super fun."

Cabin selection strategy: Choose cabin locations based on bathroom proximity. "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!" explains Lana N. about Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground.

Recreational diversity: Select locations with multiple activity options. "Champoeg has a little everything. GREAT biking trails that are kid friendly. There lots of historical sites around the campground to enjoy as well. Loop B is highly our favorite because it is smaller and more private," notes Scott W. about Champoeg State Park.

Tips from RVers

Site selection for larger vehicles: Some cabin campgrounds accommodate RVs with restrictions. A camper at Promontory Park advised, "On the Clackamas river, mostly tent sites and a few RV sites with electric. Sites spread out nicely. Marina close by with overnight moorage if you want."

Seasonal preparation: Winter cabin stays require additional planning. "Detroit lake is a great place but this campground is one of the largest in the state and gets rather loud," notes Stephen J. about Detroit Lake State Recreation Area.

Hybrid cabin-RV options: Several facilities accommodate mixed camping groups. "We decided to make this RV park our maiden voyage in our new Travel Trailer. The sites are typically close together, but some have more separation than others. Most sites are pull through," reports Joel H. about Mt. Hood Village Resort.
