"As I rode up to the site, I noticed right away that it was not tucked far away from the amenities such as restrooms, and showers. It was part of one of the campground loops."
"Champoeg State Heritage Area is a beautiful and peaceful campground located near Newberg, Oregon."
$8 - $78 / night
"Just 45 minutes outside of Portland, and near the town of Estacada, is Milo McIver State Park, which I consider to be a quintessential Oregon State Park: lots of huge evergreen trees, large campsites,"
"Estacada lake is within walking distance, and there is salmon fishing within driving distance inside of the park. There is also a "bat" barn that is close by."
$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."
"Simple RV park with access to everything. The river is right there, bike trails, grass area, walk to town, everything."
"Right off the exit of 205, it's very easy to get to, and a beautiful spot where the Clackamas flows into the Willamette."
"There’s a fenced in dog area and lawn you can walk on leash. The only downside is that the standard sites are small and very close to neighbors."
"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."
$25 / night
"Close proximity to Multonomah Falls. Pros - bathrooms with electric outlets, free showers, deer come close and are fun to watch, quiet & fairly private stay."
"There is distance between you and other guests but if you want to meet your neighbors you can. They have ADA sites, a lake, play grounds and a welcome center."
"A well cared for location. I think we got the last space! It’s a busy place. A bit of a head scratcher on what brings people here. Certainly located in and around a number of destinations."
$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."
$30 - $150 / night
"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."
"We wanted to find a place that was out of the city and a bit isolated but still a very close drive. A bonus was the proximity to the Columbia river and the nice view."
"Most spots were pull-though with decently wide streets to drive in. Even though it's just off a semi-major street, it's set back enough and surrounded by trees to be more quiet."
GuideWe stayed here 2 nights to allow us time to check out a couple of wineries and work. The site was clean, as were the bathroom / showers. It was a unique arrangement with a shared single toilet and showers in a building with a laundry unit attached. It would have been nice to have a couple of toilets in each building. The washer and dryer worked well. It was a solid place to stay, surrounded by vineyards and walking distance to a few wineries and a couple of restaurants.
ScoutThis campground is PERFECT for couples to reconnect and recharge! The sites are large, privacy is pretty good and you can walk to lake in a few feet from every site. We hung out at the lake completely alone for DAYS! It does get chilly at night but this is by FAR our favorite campground!
ScoutRight of the highway. Trucks start rolling by around 5am. They do have free showers and flushing toilets!
ScoutSteven, camp host, is 5 STARS. He is doing the best he can with what he has to work with. Which is a very old network of 3 bathroom facilities that are beyond gross despite best efforts. It is mostly about the age of the structures. They are cleaned regularly daily and we saw this over a 3 night stay. But with the rowdy young adult day visitors and age of the facilities only so much can be done. The pools above the falls, jumps into the lower pool and the falls themselves are amazing, mostly after Noon when the sun comes onto the river.
Speaking of the day visitors. It was busy every day despite staying Sunday through Wednesday but it was hot and mid summer, so OK. Most visitors were families but holy crap the the broccoli head, beat up A4 crowd with leaky oil came rolling in with their party crew around 3pm each day. They are very impressed with themselves, their mediocre cars and copious amount of smoking. Is weed allowed on Federal Land?
However, these were the least of the jerks. On the third day, what seemed like a full on cult (because we are talking a group of 30) showed up to hog the lower level. We literally walked up behind one of the young women as we came off the trail, naked in a smaller side pool pooping and urinating right in front of us and our teens as we came off the trail. Awesome! My son got a free show of mostly naked off duty strippers(?) and their half dozen or so Rajneeshi looking handlers. I have pictures but I don't think it's OK to post them! Also, ya'll's EDM you were blasting in nature SUCKED and I like EDM.
GuideGreat campground in the heart of wine country. Has nice spacious campsites with good picnic tables and hookups if you need them. Place is clean and well maintained. Restrooms are very nice. Individual shower stalls are separate.
TravelerCampsite has a well maintained dirt road connecting it to the highway, has a beautiful overlook of a creek
ScoutI love how Vanessa mentioned the creek access from that first campsite! As someone who's been searching for dispersed camping spots with water features, this feels like such a gem. The fact that Forest Service regularly patrols is actually reassuring rather than intrusive- I've been to some dispersed sites that felt a bit too"wild west" if you know what I mean. I've been using offline hiking apps for my trips in the Gifford Pinchot, but I hadn't considered Little Soda Springs until now. That tip about downloading maps beforehand due to no cell service is crucial- learned that lesson the hard way last summer near Mt. Adams! Anyone know if the creek is suitable for filtering drinking water, or should I pack in all I need?
TravelerThis campsite is very pretty and the hosts are lovely. They have fire wood for sale for 5 dollars a bundle, bathrooms and showers on site. There is a spot to load a very small boat into the water and very little and spotty cell service for me at least. It’s super pretty and nice!
GuideI decided to come back thinking I'd stay in the same spot as last time, but it was occupied. Thank goodness! Because I found THE most amazing spot!
