Sandy Riverfront RV Resort

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Swimming, fishing, and river access draw campers to Sandy Riverfront RV Resort, which sits directly on the Sandy River in Troutdale, Oregon. The park accommodates rigs up to 60 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, and concrete pads keep sites level. Sites vary considerably in appeal: those facing the river offer open sightlines toward the water, while interior spots look out mainly at neighboring RVs, so booking early gives campers the better positions.

The park runs on the compact side. Sites are close together, and a mix of overnight visitors and long-term residents fills the grounds most of the time, so arriving without a reservation is a gamble. Noise is part of the experience here. A train bridge is visible from the park and generates periodic sound, and freeway and airport noise carries from the distance as well. The Sandy River itself is swimmable, though multiple reviewers note that currents warrant caution and life vests.

Glenn Otto Park sits directly across the street and provides additional green space, though dogs are not permitted there. Downtown Troutdale is close enough to reach by bike and has restaurants, shops, and coffee. Sugarpine Drive-In, also nearby, gets specific mention from campers. "Clean, friendly and well organized," notes Wes B., with concrete pads and extra parking space adding to the functionality. Rates run around $50 per night. Campers who prefer a less densely packed setup can look at campsites near Troutdale or consider Portland Fairview RV Park a few miles to the west.

Guests frequently mentioned the well-maintained grounds, level concrete pads, and friendly staff. Several campers reported noise from trains and traffic, while many found the $50 nightly rate expensive for the amenities provided.

Clean & Friendly

This is a small and tightly-packed park with all amenities. Although the spaces are close, there is a nice plot of grass and a table. There are many full-timers here, and their spaces are nicely kept/decorated.

There are many places to eat, shop, coffee, etc. in the nearby downtown area and just beyond. It was a perfect stop for stocking up on supplies and enjoying the river, and only about half hour away from Portland.

The park is full of furry friends & friendly people, but we were disappointed that our dog was not allowed at the Glenn Otto park across the road. We walked up a couple of blocks and found a nice little trail behind the Harlow House Museum for an evening hike.

We didn't make reservations, but got lucky on arrival as there were only a handful of available sites. Ours was a pull-thru, and our 25' trailer fit easily, although it was a tight fit with our truck. There were many there with much larger rigs than ours, so it's obviously doable. This park has a lot of R&Rs, which isn't our favorite way to camp, but they were so friendly and gracious, that it gets 5 stars easily! It will be our go-to when visiting the Portland area!

On the River; great location

Friendly staff. Between the Sandy River and a creek. You do hear noises from the distant freeway and airport. There is a train bridge visible from the park, which is both entertaining and a bit noisy at times.

Great location near Sugarpine Drive-in and Sandy River

The absolutely best part about this park is that it's across the street from Sugarpine Drive-in. Somewhat expensive (for a drive-in) but oh-so-delicious food. It's also right on the Sandy River where you can enjoy the beautiful views and swim (very carefully...bring life-vests to be safe) and next to Glenn Otto Park (just across the street).

The park itself is okay. Some weekly/monthly spots as well as overnighters. The grounds and spots are good enough and not gross/scary, but you really come here for the location. Downtown Troutdale is not too far away and that's worth a stroll as well, though the park is also close to the traintracks.

River views are sweet

Exclusively RV sites with all hookups. Clean, friendly and well organized. Concrete pads with extra parking space make for level camping. Book early to enjoy the spaces that overlook the Sandy River, otherwise you’ll just be looking at other RVs. We struggled a bit connecting to the free WiFi. I’m not sure why they don’t just have a network with a password.

Clean and Quiet

This was our 3rd visit as it’s a great spot just outside Portland. All RVs, full hook-ups, nice grounds, well maintained with nicely kept landscaping. We rolled in after hours, office closed but they are so organized, available spots are clearly indicated with specific instructions. Bike into cute town of Troutdale very close. Right on the river. Pricy at $50 per night
