River Run Campground

We stayed at the one of the sites on the pond- great sites excellent breeze off the pond… I was worried it might be a buggy pond at this point in the season but it was beautiful. Very nice family- showers laundry though no dish washing sink so prepare to wash on your site- everything very clean!

This is another cute campground with several other private ones in the area. It is right on the river and provides easy access along with rental options if you want to just bring you camping gear. The sites are nice and easily accessible with all the amenities we come to expect. It is also such a nice quick drive up from Portland it is highly worth checking out. If you are in the area I also suggest taking a trek up to Pleasant Mountain via the southwest ridge trail. It is a trek but well worth the views at the top.

We camp here each year with about 15 friends. We book 3 sites next to each other, right on the river. The sites are large and spaced out well. The river is great for swimming. You can take a kayak or tube trip by putting in upstream and floating back to your own site. Definitely a party scene on weekends during peak season—lots of large groups making noise, not quiet wilderness. But also have camped here on weeknights and found it quiet and peaceful.
