Anderson Park

Within Banks-Vernonia State Trail, Anderson Park provides year-round camping with full hookups for RVs up to 45 feet. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department manages this established campground, which sits on the edge of Vernonia with direct access to the Banks-Vernonia Trail running through the property.

Recent visitors note the presence of long-term residents with personal belongings visible throughout the sites, creating a more residential atmosphere than typical state park camping. The campground connects directly to the walking and biking trail system, and campers can walk into town for groceries, restaurants, and services. For a more traditional camping experience, Cedar Ridge offers an alternative just north of the area.

Looks like long termers, cluttered, run down

I had researched this park quite awhile beforehand and was interested based on the reviews posted here. It looked pretty nice. Unfortunately when we were able to preview it by driving through I was surprised to find out it was not at all what I had seen in reviews. This place is on the edge of a small town and it looks like it is occupied by long term tenants with a lot of paraphernalia and personal belongings strewn about. For us, traveling for vacation and sightseeing it would not be a place we'd wanna stay. We did have dinner and really enjoyed it in the little town of Vernonia where it is located and that was great. The park is also adjacent to a fantastic walking biking trail and it's next to a city park.

Well maintained, great for cycling

This campground is adjacent to a couple of really awesome bike paths, so I parked here for day use. I haven't camped here YET but I thought I could add some photos! The camp host was professional, and everything was pretty clean.

HEY!!! It's in Vernonia

The camp is run by the city and it is very clean. I've seen boyscout troops come through on packs of bicycles and single joggers on the Banks Vernonia trail which is easy and scenic. The trail comes through camp and you can walk anywhere in town from camp. Grocery, laundry, several good restaurants and shops.
