Battle Ground Lake State Park Campground
We camped here for 4 days, rangers were nice we hauled in our wood since we didn’t want to buy a lot, and can’t gather wood there. Plenty of trees between campsites, The Bathroom and showers were really nice and clean!! lake was also nice but small. Enjoyed our stay!!

RangerRock Creek Campground - Yacolt Burn State Forest
This site is great! Lots of rules listed but not enforced, would recommend having the discovery pass though as signs are prevalent. If you can avoid going the route alongside the correctional facility, you’ll have much less dirt roads and pot holes. There isn’t room in the non horse sites for a rig more than say 25 feet long. No cell service or Starlink, but if you drive to a clearing nearby you can find a satellite .

Loudest "resort" rude management
Planes, trains and automobiles....oh did I mention nosy neighbors and rude office staff? Sharon and Erika are unapproachable and judgemental office slime. Skip this place. And the pictures LIE!

Silver Falls State Park Campground
Beautiful Forest
Beautiful camping sites. Very busy. Lots of families and people. Roads are very windy and curvy be extra cautious. Wish we had more time so much to explore. If you bring your dog, you will be very limited on where you can hike too. RV sites are pretty private. Bathrooms and showers look brand new. And Camp post are extremely kind and polite.

Beautiful spot
The road wasn't to bad getting there. There were a few spots in the campsite. River feet away, berry patches close. No cell coverage.
Jordan C.ScoutJantzen Beach RV Resort
Nice near city of Portland stop
This sounds like a pretty mixed experience at Jantzen Beach RV Resort. The three heated pools, playgrounds, fitness center, and river access definitely make it appealing for families and longer stays, and having full hookups with level paved sites is a real plus. I also like that the mature trees provide some shade and that the shoreline paths give campers a chance to enjoy the Columbia River without having to leave the property. At the same time, the constant traffic and airplane noise would probably be something I’d want to know about before booking. The low water pressure mentioned in the review is another practical concern, especially for RV travelers who expect reliable hookups. They closed the swimming pool a month early although it is 90f in Portland. The combination of permanent residents and overnight campers also seems like something that could give the park a different atmosphere depending on the site and time of year. The location near Target and the freeway sounds convenient, but Portland rush-hour traffic could definitely make getting around more difficult. Priced at$85–$100 per night, many long-time visitors believe the value has decreased and are opting to seek alternatives. Overall, Jantzen Beach RV Resort seems to offer plenty of amenities and a convenient location, but travelers looking for a peaceful, quiet campground may want to keep the noise and urban setting in mind before reserving. The comparison with Columbia River RV Park would also be helpful for anyone deciding between the two.

So lush
The road is easily traveled, though there are only a few sites. Some by the river were already taken when I got there but omg gorgeous. I’ll definitely be back.
