    Mt Hood Village Resort and Clackamette RV Park represent major RV destinations near Welches, with full hookup capability for large motorhomes. Portland Fairview RV Park provides electric, water, and sewer connections along with larger pull-through sites that accommodate big rigs. Most RV sites at Mt Hood Village feature gravel pads with reasonable space between units, though several reviewers note the premium sites offer better separation. RV parking areas at Sandy Riverfront RV Resort include standard back-in spaces and limited pull-through options for larger vehicles. "The full hook up sites are in old growth timber giving each site a feeling of seclusion. The lodge, pool, hot tub and saunas are in good condition," according to one visitor.

    Advance reservations become essential during summer months and ski season when mountain access drives heavy traffic to local RV parks. Several parks maintain year-round operation, including Mt Hood Village and Jantzen Beach RV Park, though winter road conditions occasionally affect accessibility. Cell service varies considerably, with stronger connections at parks closer to Portland and spotty coverage in more remote mountain locations. Most facilities offer trash collection and dump stations, while pet policies generally allow dogs with standard restrictions. According to a recent review, the tent sites at Mt Hood Village are crammed together, making the RV section preferable for those seeking more space and privacy. Water quality issues appear in several reviews, with one noting the water "smells so bad" at certain parks.

      Columbia River RV Park

      Basic Nice RV Park Right in Portland

      Located at the northern end of Portland not too far off the 1-5 freeway. RV campground with wide streets, nice office staff, and clean facilities including laundry, clubhouse, group kitchen area and free wi-fi. Grass in-between most spots, with some back-in sites and others being pull-through. Backs up to a busy road blocked by large bushes and under the pathway for the airport, so there's some noise but not horrible. Some full-times but sites are nice and well maintained. Overall nice, clean and well maintained large RV site within the Portland city limits.

      Reeder Beach RV Park & Country Store

      1 Night Stopover

      I was worried when Google maps brought me through the industrial section of Portland, but relieved when I crossed the bridge to the Island. Check in was fast and efficient. Can't say the staff was friendly or welcoming, Full hookups, but I don't rate it higher because there is no wifi or laundry facilities. There is also nothing around here store or restaurant wise. I enjoyed the beach and watching the ships pass by. I had good cell service. Riverside back in sites are the best. Pull through provide shade

      Silver Spur RV Park & Resort

      Not terrible.

      I ended up here last minute due to weather on the Oregon coast. I’m in a 40’ coach. It’s a very well kept RV park, a lot of long term residents were here. The office is very nice, the lawns are very nice, the office parking lot is asphalt. Has a nice little children’s play area. There are very bumpy gravel driveways to the RV parking spots (possibly just the time of year causing the poor road condition). The RV spaces are very easy to get into being angled. We stayed in a pull through space, easy in and easy out. Only giving a 4star rating for the very small RV spaces. Was very crammed for anything more than a last minute stay.

      Sun Outdoors Portland South

      Glamping

      This was my first experience at an RV Resort. It is located right of the interstate but feels secluded. They have both back in and pull through sites, a little tight with neighbors but I was told it is better than other RV resorts. Beautiful landscaping, indoor pool and hot tub, small market, laundry facilities, horseshoe pits on beautiful grassy area. Yes to dogs and cats and no breed restrictions! They have a nice grassy area with poop bags! Bummer no fires 🙁 If fire pits I’d give the 5th star! Also, within 15-20 mins there are amazing countryside, wine tasting, hiking/walking, Willamette River with off leash areas for dogs, and downtown Portland. Additionally there is an off leash park 8 mins away. Overall a good experience, we enjoyed our stay. My photos don’t show much of the place but their website’s photos represent well.

      Portland Fairview RV Park

      Good place for a short stay

      We were worried at first as this was our first visit to Portland. The city is filled with garbage and in desperate need of services for the homeless. We pulled into the RV park and luckily there is nothing worrisome to report. If the office is closed there is a cabinet around the corner that may contain the map with your name and directions to your spot. It is tidy and the staff were friendly during our 2-week stay. The area around it seemed like well kept neighborhoods. The train next to the park is regular so be prepared for consistent train noise. Our Verizon phones and T-Mobile hotspot had great signal here and the park offered free cable service. The spaces are pre-assigned but very tight. We unfortunately didn't get a pull-through site even though quite a few were available. It seemed the majority of people here are long-term but as I mentioned above everyone was tidy. Everyone seemed quite friendly as well. As for the facilities, they seemed to be in a bit of disrepair but not horrible. The "gym" wasn't a place that really looked useable though. Several long term people made comments on how cheap the owners are and have indicated the park is slowly but consistently going downhill. I didn't take any photos as there were no great things to accentuate. We did enjoy the fact it was close to the highway that takes you east towards quite a few sights and Hood River.

      Humbug Campground

      Love it here

      Humbug is one of our favorite campgrounds. We love the easy access to the beach and the beautiful hikes.  Showers are hot and free, rangers are always friendly.

      Cell service is pretty iffy here, but we manage to make it work with the cell booster.

      There's a dump station and water fill, trash and recycling, water spigots throughout campground, and firewood for sale.

      Tent sites in Oregon don't currently have the 25% non-resident surcharge (though I've heard that's changing soon) and there are plenty of non-hookup/tent sites that will fit RVs. There are also FHU and pull through sites.

      Port of Cascade Locks Campground

      Small and Great!

      A very small campground with water and electric only. Level sites with bathrooms and showers close. There is a dump station on site. A beautiful setting along the Columbia River. Sites back up to parking lot below for Thunder Island and native american fishing platforms. The Columbia paddle wheeler is walking distance nearby for a dinner or sightseeing cruise. Thunder Island Brewing is a couple of blocks away. I think there are only ten camp sites and a camp host that we never met. This is a hidden treasure for smaller campers and travel trailers.

    Guide to Welches

    Mt Hood Village Resort provides full-hookup RV sites with electric, water, sewer, and cable in a forested setting near Highway 26.
