$25 / night
"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."
"Jan 8-10, 2021
If you live in PDX and want to get away from the city for a second, I highly recommend this campground. It’s a regional park not a state park so no dogs or alcohol allowed."
$28 - $81 / night
"Close to Portland so it gets a lot of day traffic. Access to river so it has summer activities. Sites for large get togethers."
"The kids enjoyed the playground and biking around the loop. The river access down at the day use was lovely. All the park staff were friendly."
$24 - $168 / night
"Especially when you want something close by and need to get out and explore! Pet friendly, great nature walks, and so much to see!"
"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."
"But conveniently located right off of 205 and close to a lot of amenities in the suburbs of Portland. Dog friendly too as there is a park with walking paths. I am sure kid friendly too."
"Simple RV park with access to everything. The river is right there, bike trails, grass area, walk to town, everything."
$30 - $150 / night
"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)."
"One star off for density, you’re right next to each other, and for the very bright street lighting in there. We thought it overkill, but perhaps they have their reasons. Super nice facilities."
$40 / night
"Arrived here late for a single night stay on the way to the Oregon Coast. This is a very convenient stopover for those needing a place to stay near Portland."
"The park's location is very convenient, with easy access to downtown Portland and nearby attractions."
"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."
"It’s lovely enough and if you are looking for an RV park with allll of the amenities while being very close to your neighbor, then this is it."
"Nice park, dog friendly, right on the river, friendly staff. Train bridge across from the park so there is train noise."
"The absolutely best part about this park is that it's across the street from Sugarpine Drive-in. Somewhat expensive (for a drive-in) but oh-so-delicious food."
"Gas station (72) and great grocery store (thrift away) nearby )1.5 mi away)."
"There is a playground onsite for those with children and plenty of bike paths and walking paths to keep you busy."
LegendNice 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.
GuideMost of the time we have the dog park to ourselves 😍
TravelerIf you want to camp in Oregon this is the place to go. There are several waterfalls and hiking trails. You can see wildlife and you can't beat the beauty. You can tent camp and they also have yurts.
GuideAbsolutely love the cabins at this place! We live 30 minutes away so it’s the perfect quick get away. Our dog LOVES the dog park too. Amazing views
GuideWe 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.
GuideThis park has breathtaking views and a nice dog park. Most of the time I have the place to myself
GuideThey 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.
GuideThe scenery and the placid, warm lake, make this my favorite place to camp in Oregon. The campsites can be very uneven for tents, but we’ve always made it work. The lake is never crowded and by using the trail that goes around the lake you can basically have your own private beach anywhere. The water is surprisingly warm. Can be very cold at night. Cell service is non-existent.
TravelerWe'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".
