Carrie G.GuideWaterloo County Park
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.

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!

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.
Jordan C.ScoutJantzen Beach RV Resort
Nice near city of Portland stop
This sounds like a pretty mixed experience at Jantzen Beach RV Resort. The three heated pools, playgrounds, fitness center, and river access definitely make it appealing for families and longer stays, and having full hookups with level paved sites is a real plus. I also like that the mature trees provide some shade and that the shoreline paths give campers a chance to enjoy the Columbia River without having to leave the property. At the same time, the constant traffic and airplane noise would probably be something I’d want to know about before booking. The low water pressure mentioned in the review is another practical concern, especially for RV travelers who expect reliable hookups. They closed the swimming pool a month early although it is 90f in Portland. The combination of permanent residents and overnight campers also seems like something that could give the park a different atmosphere depending on the site and time of year. The location near Target and the freeway sounds convenient, but Portland rush-hour traffic could definitely make getting around more difficult. Priced at$85–$100 per night, many long-time visitors believe the value has decreased and are opting to seek alternatives. Overall, Jantzen Beach RV Resort seems to offer plenty of amenities and a convenient location, but travelers looking for a peaceful, quiet campground may want to keep the noise and urban setting in mind before reserving. The comparison with Columbia River RV Park would also be helpful for anyone deciding between the two.

Whitcomb Creek County Park
Excellent Campground
Well maintained grounds and restrooms. Beautiful area with a lot of tree coverage for shade all day. Lake was very low during our stay did not get to experience much beyond the view. Fire season so there weren’t campfires permitted either. IMO fires should be allowed even in dry season in this modality of camping certainly this structured. Mandatory 5 gallon on hand anyway. But in any case the site manager was exceptionally nice and considerate they did a wonderful job keeping the amenities clean
Guide to Silverton
The Willamette Valley area surrounding Silverton, Oregon sits at approximately 400 feet elevation and experiences mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers. Seasonal temperature fluctuations affect campground availability, with some locations closing during winter months and others operating year-round regardless of weather conditions. The region features a diverse mix of state parks, regional parks, and private RV resorts with varying amenities and access to natural features.
What to do
Fishing for trout: Small Fry Lake at Promontory Park offers a dedicated fishing experience for young anglers. "Our middle son caught not only his first fish but he caught 4 in total," shares one visitor, though note that fish stocking occurs October through April as "the fish can't survive once the water temperature rises too high."
Disc golf courses: Milo McIver State Park Campground features exceptional disc golf facilities with multiple course layouts. "Milo McIver may be best known for its twin 18 hole disc golf courses, or single 27 hole layout when tournaments aren't in progress," explains a regular visitor. The park hosts the annual Beaver State Fling, a PDGA sanctioned National Tour event.
Adventure activities: Camp Dakota offers numerous outdoor activities beyond standard camping. According to a recent visitor: "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."
What campers like
Private tent sites: Metzler Park offers secluded spaces along Clear Creek. "Metzler Park offered beautiful, shaded campsites along Clear Creek. My site was just above the creek and I fell asleep to its calming sound," shares a camper. The park includes playing fields, trails, and a swimming hole, with clean bathrooms and showers.
Multi-use trails: Oxbow Regional Park provides extensive trail networks through ancient forests. "The park's 1,200 acres of ancient forest are crisscrossed with hiking trails and provide habitat for elk, deer, and osprey," notes one visitor. The park offers a true wilderness experience while remaining accessible, with one camper observing "it's truly a great oasis just outside of Portland."
Waterfall access: While Silver Falls State Park is known for its waterfalls, Santiam State Forest Shellburg Falls Recreation Area offers a quieter alternative. "Remote and quiet campground. Only .5 mile hike to the falls. Shellburgh Falls is tall with a huge basalt cave that you can walk behind the waterfall and down below to actually stand under the waterfall," reports one visitor, though note facilities were damaged in the 2020 fires.
What you should know
Seasonal restrictions: Some campgrounds in the region operate seasonally. Milo McIver State Park Campground is open from March 15 to October 31, while others like Silver Falls State Park operate year-round. Promontory Park operates from Memorial Day to September 30.
Yurt camping options: Yurt camping near Silverton, Oregon is available at several locations. Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground offers heated yurts year-round. "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. There's a couch and a bunk bed for sleeping arrangements, with the lower bunk larger than the top bunk," explains a regular visitor.
Road conditions: Access to some camping areas requires careful driving. One camper notes about Shellburg Falls: "Long but pretty drive down a gravel road about 5+ miles in until you get to the campground." Always check road conditions before departure, particularly after winter storms or during fire season.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly programming: Ranger-led activities enhance yurt camping in Silverton, Oregon areas. "The hosts were welcoming and made sure we were comfortable with our stay. We also got a scavenger hunt with stickers for our toddler," shares a family who visited Promontory Park with their three-year-old.
Swimming opportunities: Multiple campgrounds offer water access for cooling off during summer months. At Champoeg State Heritage Area, "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 and close to the river."
Playgrounds and open spaces: Several campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. "There was a huge playground for the kids. There was also a large field area for dogs to roam around, just no fence," notes a visitor to Champoeg State Heritage Area, making it suitable for families with both children and pets.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: At Silver Falls State Park, certain sites offer better amenities for RVers. "I'd try to reserve spots 9 or 12 (next to the playground and sunny spots) or 72 (next to the creek in the shade) next time!" recommends one experienced camper who rates the park highly.
Hookup availability: Premier RV Resort in nearby Salem offers complete hookups for larger rigs. "The spots were level, no fire rings only a few picnic tables but caters to RVs only so most of us have tables and chairs. The bathrooms/showers were very clean and well cared for. Everything was neat and in good condition."
Dump station locations: For those needing sanitary services, Silver Falls State Park has convenient facilities. "RV dump at the horse camp turnoff," notes one visitor, providing a helpful logistical detail for those traveling in recreational vehicles.
