Best Campgrounds near Wilsonville, OR

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.

    Ainsworth State Park Campground

    Not ADA accessible

    The site itself is great, full hookups, flat enough. But the Shower Block/toilets are completely inaccessible. No bench inside any of the showers. No grab bars. And to get dressed I had to leave the door open and put my mobility device in the walkway. Also, the paths to get there you have a choice...Steep or Steeper. Not great options when you're in the PNW and the ground is slippery.

    Beautiful Spot NF 4630 by the River

    Gorgeous! Can’t ask for more…

    This spot is large, private and is easy to get to, you’re right on the creek and you can hear the it perfectly! The creek is actually the Oak Grove Fork of the Calakamas River. There’s actually a bunch of shots of this road to chose but this one was perfect for us. Minimal cell and Star Link due to being under a canopy of trees.

    Dispersed Camping Near Pioneer-Indian Trail in Siuslaw National Forest

    Great Find

    We have been traveling/disburse camping through Montana, Washington, and now Oregon and this has been our 2nd favorite spot.

    The drive in wasn’t as bad as we were anticipating. The road was paved and a two lane; narrow lanes but my Ram 3500 and teardrop handled it fine. We did follow previous reviews and once spotted the logging road turned in despite previous review suggesting walking down first. It worked for us because the spot was empty but would second that recommendation; had the spot been taken turn around would not have happened. The logging road is gravel, narrow, and a little steep but not bad at all. The spot is worth what it takes to get to it.

    The space, seclusion, sky made it our second favorite site; the first had a creek and wild life. Not recommended for strictly RWD vehicles, if you are towing 45 feet in length, or wet/snowy conditions.

    This spot is saved for next time we are in the area.

    Dairy Creek West — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park

    Large level sites

    We stayed in Dairy Creek West Campground. The sites are larger than at most of the Oregon state parks we have been to. The site was the levelest we have ever stayed in, usually there is a slight tilt one way or another. This was dead on level. The area for the trailer is pea gravel with an asphalt parking are in the front of the site. I forgot to fill our propane tanks a did that at the Cheveron in nearby Banks which is 10 miles away. There is no wifi unless you use your own. Cell service seems to be ok. Trash is located at a central area opposite the Welcome Center.

    Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground

    Peaceful Escape at Champoeg State Park

    Champoeg State Park is such a peaceful and well-kept spot, perfect for both weekend campers and road-trippers. The mix of open fields, riverside views, and walking trails makes it ideal for a relaxing outdoor getaway. What I really like is how easy it is to plan your stay, even using a simple camping trip calculator or planning tool helps figure out travel time, supplies, and costs before heading out. Definitely one of Oregon’s hidden gems for nature lovers.
