SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds near Wilsonville, Oregon range from full-service RV parks to more rustic settings within a 30-mile radius. Sun Outdoors Portland South (formerly Pheasant Ridge) provides paved RV sites with hookups and amenities including an indoor pool and laundry facilities, while Tranquil Orchards and Wine Tours offers a more natural setting with tent and RV options among fruit trees. The area features both public and private campgrounds accommodating various camping styles, from basic tent sites to cabins and glamping experiences at places like Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground.
Most campgrounds in the Wilsonville area remain open year-round, though some state parks like Milo McIver operate seasonally from March through October. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly during summer weekends when availability becomes limited. The region's mild but rainy winters affect camping conditions, with many tent campers preferring the drier months between May and September. Several campgrounds provide full hookups for RVs, including water, electric, and sewer connections. "This was my first experience at an RV Resort. It is located right off 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," noted one visitor at Sun Outdoors Portland South.
Established campgrounds in the region typically maintain clean facilities and level sites, according to camper feedback. The proximity to Portland (approximately 20 miles north) makes the Wilsonville area popular for weekend getaways and travelers exploring the Willamette Valley. While some RV parks like Roamers Rest and Sun Outdoors offer relatively close quarters between sites, others provide more privacy. A camper at Tranquil Orchards and Wine Tours shared, "This orchard is shady and very relaxing, although near a small airport and highway. There are showers and flushing toilets." Many campgrounds feature picnic tables, fire pits where allowed, and access to potable water. Several locations also provide shower facilities and flush toilets rather than vault toilets, making them suitable for families and campers seeking more comfortable amenities.

TravelerKeenig Creek Campground
Oh the years we've spent here
Yes the sites are small and not many enjoy it here. However when you've been coming to this site for something more than a campsite it all makes sense. My family of friends have all grown up here from the early teenage years up till now im 50 and I still enjoy this place. Back then you coukd drive into each site and their were only 8. Remember when BG king whoppers were $1 and the best beer was a cold MGD in a bottle? Camping here was different from other places. Everyone new and seasonal were friebds and shared with everyone the log truck drivers would pull onto the bridge allowing us all yo climb otop the logs giving G us that extra 15' to jump into the crystal clear mountain snow melt. And believe me these waters do not warm.late in the summer on a 100 degree day it still takes your breath away. From ontop the bridge and looking into the crystal clear Wilson river uou might think its only a few inches to a few feet deep you can see everything as clear as if it were not under 22"+ of pure mountain snow run off. Its aww inspiring to say tg he least. In late summer the level does gey a bit lower but still the view is breathtaking. If I could urge anyone to fo one thing while here, take a quick dip into the water. You'll definitely comr out feeling alive and energized.

LegendBeautiful Spot NF 4630 by the River
Pleasant surprise
Was intrigued by the 2 reviews I read and thought I'd check it out. Wasn't disappointed. Plenty of options for my setup, and even more for tent camp the road ing. Right off the road by the bridge, which is also the entrance to a more developed campground, so the traffic made this a 4

Didn't Feel Safe
Though very beautiful, as soon as I pulled up to this spot, I got a pit in my stomach. There are several permanent residents in cars, tents, and old rvs. I did not stay long as there were lots of gunshots as I was driving through the road. Maybe it is fine as a camp spot, but as a single girl staying in my car I did not feel good at all about this spot and ended up going to a different area after feeling the vibe.

Close to downtown Portland. Clean hot showers and good AC power. Good location for attending Indy Car race at Portland Speedway

Wooded escape
Great place to have a peaceful evening or longer. Showers are hot, facilities are well maintained and provided the sites aren’t all booked, there is a decent amount of space between visitors.

Cliff Swimming & Fishing Bridge
Absolutely Beautiful Location
This area use to be a paid campground and is now shut down & open to public. There is a restroom area, however it is unkempt & the cleanliness of that area is the downside of the camp spot. Otherwise it’s glorious. Pack in, pack out! Help out too :) In this bridge & river area, you’ll find crystal clear cool crisp waters to ease into. Beach is mostly sand and the camp sites have soft dirt. Fireplaces are at these camp zones but weren’t allowed when I was there. If you swim across the river, you’ll find a fun cliff jumping area! I may of jumped it maybe 30 times lol. We also rafted the river around the bank just for fun. You’re able to peacefully float at this location too if wanted! Sorta near a busy road, but high enough & away from real civilization that traffic is minimal. Wildlife is abundant! Majority of campers are kind, not ever too crowded but definitely a fun spot people know of. Highly recommend, this is a gem!!!

Pine Point Campground
Beautiful and not crowded
Lots of good day use spots but $10 fee, worth it, families just cart stuff down the trail its bikes only most of the way. They dont make that obvious if you're a big rv be careful around the end youll be doing point turns to get back out. Dispersed camping is a quick bike ride for cell signal

Close to Portland, Yet Far Enough to Get Away
As other people have said, sometimes there is little separation between sites. Plus, sometimes the sites, other than were you park your trailer, are rocky and not at all level. There was a level spot near the back for a tent. The terrain is offset by the VERY tall trees throwing a lot of shade. The sun sets behind the hill across the lake, so it gets completely shady in the late afternoon. Note that the sites next to the river have chain-link fences to keep you from falling off a bluff and into the river, which, when we stayed there near the end of June, was still almost ice cold.
We chose to stay in a non-electric site, and were only able to get a little sunshine for our solar panels to help recharge.
As a product of the 1950s, the sites have a maximum RV/trailer length of 20 feet. Our 18-foot trailer and mid-size SUV fit easily. Navigation can be tricky.
My only complaint about the showers is that the non-adjustable water temperature was near-scalding hot. The showers and bathrooms were clean.
The cooking station near us was very handy for boiling water to cook pasta.
The store at the marina next door has an amazing variety of stuff for campers, including ice.
Guide to Wilsonville
Seasonal access remains a key consideration when planning camping near Wilsonville, Oregon. The Willamette Valley area features numerous campgrounds within 20-30 miles of town, open predominantly spring through fall with limited year-round options. Winter campers face muddy conditions at riverfront locations like Barton County Park and Clackamette RV Park where the Clackamas River flows into the Willamette.
What to do
Bike along scenic trails: Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground offers extensive biking opportunities on well-maintained paths. "Champoeg State Park is on the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway, and a great place to camp if you want to do a long biking getaway. Biking the loop to St. Paul is a fun countryside ride. The location is also pretty accessible to wine country," notes Stephanie Z.
Explore disc golf courses: Milo McIver State Park Campground features championship-level disc golf courses. "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. Home of the annual Beaver State Fling, a PDGA sanctioned National Tour event," explains Steve C.
Riverfront activities: Floating, fishing and swimming options exist at multiple locations. "Great place to put into the river to float or kayak. Lots of parking. Also a campground. Perfect for a close weekend getaway," shares Caty M. about Barton County Park Campground.
What campers like
Quick access from Portland: Many campgrounds serve as convenient escapes from the city. "A quick 35 minute drive from Portland, Barton Park is an easy destination for family-friendly camping," reports Reid B., making it accessible for weekend trips without extensive travel time.
Orchard camping experience: For a distinctive setting, Tranquil Orchards and Wine Tours offers camping among fruit trees. "This orchard is shady and very relaxing, although near a small airport and highway. There are showers and flushing toilets," shares Kevin R.
Heated facilities: Some campgrounds provide off-season comfort. "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," describes Lana N. about Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground.
What you should know
RV age restrictions: Some parks limit older vehicles. "They have RV age limit of 2010 but they allowed pictures before turning me down. Yay we got approved!" notes Becky S. about Roamers Rest RV Park.
Privacy varies significantly: Expect different levels of seclusion depending on location. "While some RV parks like Roamers Rest and Sun Outdoors offer relatively close quarters between sites, others provide more privacy," according to Shari G., who noted Champoeg has "a very park-like quality with manicured landscaping and very nicely laid-out sites with plenty of space in between."
Urban noise levels: Campgrounds closer to highways experience traffic noise. "Located next to I-5 is this very cramped RV park. The place is noisy from all the traffic and your neighbors are on top of you," warns Theo A. about Sun Outdoors Portland South.
Tips for camping with families
Look for playground facilities: Some parks offer extensive play areas. "The kids enjoyed the playground and biking around the loop. The river access down at the day use was lovely," reports Lanae about Barton County Park.
Consider yurt camping: Yurts provide comfortable shelter options for families new to camping. "Great for beginner campers and families! There is a couch and a bunk bed for sleeping arrangements, with the lower bunk larger than the top bunk," explains Lana N.
Educational opportunities: Historical sites add learning experiences. "The farmhouse fascinated my boys... they got to water the garden with a water pump and buckets!" shares Leslie C. about Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground.
Tips from RVers
Find riverside sites: Clackamette RV Park offers water views despite urban surroundings. "The confluence of the Clackamas and Willamette rivers, this is a great spot with most amenities, still inside Portland metro, right off 205 but incredibly serene nonetheless," writes Pepper V.
Check site spacing: RV parks vary dramatically in density. "It's a 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," explains Randi K. about Sun Outdoors Portland South, formerly Pheasant Ridge.
Research hookup options: Full-service sites often cost more but provide convenience. "All sites are paved to accommodate RVs and campers with electricity and water," notes Shari G. Some parks also offer sewer connections while others provide dump stations.
