Metzler Park, managed by Clackamas County, sits along Clear Creek in the forested hills outside Estacada, Oregon. The county-run campground provides drive-in access to spacious sites, many positioned close to the creek and shaded by tall trees. Sites are large enough to accommodate RVs with electric and water hookups, and tent campers have plenty of room as well.
Water access is the feature reviewers mention most. The creek runs through the park and includes a swimming hole, making it a practical choice for families with kids during warmer months. A suspension bridge crosses the water, and open grass fields give children room to spread out. Fishing is available on a catch-and-release basis. Milo McIver State Park Campground and Cedar Hollow are nearby alternatives for those planning a longer stay in the area.
Amenities include flush toilets, showers with warm water and good pressure, and a dump station. The campground is open year-round and accepts reservations. Cleanliness comes up consistently in reviews. Maureen H. describes sites as "shaded campsites along Clear Creek," which holds up across multiple accounts. One reviewer reported a negative interaction with a camp host, so experiences with staff may vary.
Estacada is roughly 15 minutes away by car, close enough for grocery runs or fuel without feeling urban. Campers looking at places to camp near Estacada will find Metzler Park among the more full-featured options in the region. Reservations are worth booking ahead for summer weekends.
Description
Metzler Park is located approximately five miles south of Estacada along beautiful Clear Creek. Although it is a short drive from several communities in Clackamas County, this park feels wonderfully isolated, surrounded by hills covered with towering Douglas-fir and western redcedar trees.
