    Oxbow Regional Park

    Close to the city with awesome playgrounds

    The park just added two nature playgrounds that are pretty fantastic. One of the new playgrounds, right before the boat launch, features a trail with a mud kitchen, two a-frame tents and a big area where you can use fallen logs and branches to build shelters.

    The other nature playground is right across from the old playground (still in use) and has a wooden water course with a hand pump and an elevated wooden plank course.

    Camping can be a little loud since it's a popular spot and there are no pets allowed, but it's barely 30 minutes away from Portland and right on the Sandy River.

    Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest

    Gorgeous!! Bring hiking shoes & a headlamp.

    The only thing missing from this amazing camping spot is electricity and running water. Otherwise, it’s perfect! Absolutely gorgeous view of Mt. Hood, tons of hiking, a beautiful lake and camping spots for everyone. They have walk-in spots, yurts, a-frames, RV spots, a horse camp and even a few rooms at the lodge. Make sure to spend at least 3-4 days!

    Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest

    Beautiful, well maintained, generous sized campsites

    Tent sites are large and spaced out so your not right next to your neighbors. It’s a little bit of a walk to the lake but enjoyable. We stayed in the A-frame cabin which is right off the parking lot so can be busy but is a generous size lot and has some shrubbery and trees for privacy. there’s a trail out right out the back of the lot. The cabin is small and rustic. Non motorized lake. Canoe, paddle board and boat rentals available and I highly recommend.

    Merrill Lake Campground

    Great little campsite for last minute adventures

    There are 8 walk in sites and one drive up site, all first come first serve discovery pass required. Some sites are larger than others, but in ours we were able to fit two 6ptents and one 2p tent. All campsites have a fire ring and picnic table. You’ll still see and hear your fellow campers, but it does seem semi private. Make sure to bring toilet paper, the bathroom seems to never be stocked. Make sure to haul out all trash.

    You can’t use motorized boats and can only fly fish in the lake, but a very nice 1 mile hike is adjacent to the day use area. Also very close to Cougar for gas and supplies for emergencies. Driving distance to popular day hikes. No cell service.

    Roamer Sites - Oregon

    Fast WiFi, skate park, gym, tramps

    This place is incredible. First to cover the basics.

    The internet is super fast - I was getting 75mbps up/down when I was in my tent.

    They have power/water hookups at each parking spot. The glamping tents have heaters, lights etc. There are heated indoor bathrooms with nice free hot water showers just a short walk away.

    This place is at a year round camp/school that has multiple skate parks, trampolines, mountain biking courses, all season ski jumps etc. it’s an action sports camp.

    They provide things like firewood and ice which they put in your cooler.

    The people are super nice and accommodating. Ask for Jim - he handles all the camping stuff.

    Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground

    Great place for Families!

    I stayed in the 1 of 5 tent spaces. They were a bit close to the other sites, but still large enough for a few tents if needed. There was only 1 parking lot for the tent/cabin spaces, so had to carry all my stuff about 100 feet. The bathrooms were clean and well lit at night. The bike paths through the campground/park were great and lots of people were using them all day. I walked the path around the entire park, which took me about 3 hours. Along the way got to see the Champoeg Heritage site with period piece actors, wide open spaces, and the Willamette River. There was a huge playground for the kids. There was also a large field area for dogs to roam around, just no fence. For being so close to the greater Portland area it felt like we were much further away. I would recommend this place, just make reservations early.

    Cougar RV Park and Campground

    Good Base Camp for Mt St Helens

    This campground is under very new ownership and the owners are some of the friendliest we’ve met to date. They are also in the process of renovating the property to make improvements. So as I review this it is with the anticipation of all the great changes to come.

    Most of the tent sites had a decent amount of space, and the perimeter ones were a little more private too. We did see some campers set up on the roadside—not sure if they knew what they were getting at the time (I wouldn’t want to be right on the road).

    There were some decently sized RV spots, but the pull through spaces looked a little crowded.

    There are only two bathrooms, each having a toilet and shower in a self contained unit. Naturally, if two people are showering this means that all flush toilets are also occupied. There are two porta-potties to accommodate for this. The owners did keep the bathrooms as clean as possible—but the bathrooms could use some renovating themselves and have a musty smell. There is laundry on site. It’s not the quietest campground we’ve stayed at (not the noisiest either) and it might benefits from clearly defined quiet hours.

    Two blocks away there are two gas stations with mini-markets.

    Only a few minutes away are the Cougar and Beaver recreation areas in the Lewis River. It only takes 10 minutes to get to Mt St Helens Ape Cave, Trail of Two Forests and Lava Canyon area.

    Lewis & Clark State Park Campground

    Traditional Camping Option Within Short Drive Of Mount St Helens area

    When venturing to Mount St Helens area I wanted to find a campground relatively close by to stay before visiting the next day. I found Lewis and Clark State Park along the way and opted to give it a shot for an overnight. The site looked comfortable and quiet and was well shaded and welcoming. 

    Pulling into the campground I noticed several areas to enjoy recreationally alongside camping including public park areas with covered outdoor kitchen zones perfect for those enjoying the area for day use. Additionally there were several areas with play equipment and outdoor activities for singles or the family to enjoy. 

    Pulling into the camping loop area sites were well spaced and shaded by large vibrant trees. Soft mosses lined walkways and created a feeling of being deep into the forest without being far removed from actual civilization and it was a nice departure from many of the more commercial looking camps of the area which lacked the forest feel. 

    The camp site I chose was equipped with the standard amenities of a picnic table and fire ring and the pull in section was just large enough for my smaller car. Throughout camp I did notice some sites were designed specifically for tent campers while others would cater better to larger units. Something unique about this location was it offered bike in campers sites as well with much smaller pull in areas but just as much space to spread out and set up their tents. 

    The bath house was very nice as it was heated and had hot water, though when I was there I did encounter a slight concern with using this bathhouse because there was a current e coli water warning which was displayed throughout camp on all water spigots. This left me more than a little leary about using the water in the bathroom turning what could have been a warm amazing shower into a bit of a concerning experience. 

    Because of this concern I noticed they had hand sanitizer placed in the restrooms, which was a great concession considering the issue at hand. 

    While this was a campsite I did enjoy, I feel as though with the water concerns I could not fully embrace all the features of camp which did hinder me slightly from fully being able to embrace all of the options. Should I return to this area I would check in advance to see if the water was a concern before staying another night. 

    The campground, like many in the area, advocate recycling.  Not only will you find trash cans and dumpsters throughout camp but you will also find recycling barrels scattered throughout camp.    I truly enjoyed this feature of the park as it is making a difference in the bigger picture and you can commonly find items created from recycled items such as benches and tables located throughout various state parks as continued improvements occur.

    All in all, for someone just wanting to enjoy a night at a quiet campground this would be a great one to check out in the area. While it lacks some of the amenities of other campgrounds in the area which are more destination style camps it has a lot of charm for those wanting to enjoy fun with family or friends in a more traditional camping style. 

    TIPS:

    • Check in advance for water related issues not only at this campground but others in the area. 
    • Make a stop just before the entrance of the park at the Jackson House Historic Site. This site is a major portion of the area’s rich history and with several unique signs which walk you through the significance of the area you will be enriched by this short stop.
    • Make sure you have a Discover Pass!! Any stay in Washington you will want to make sure you have this pass.

    Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest

    Fantastic campground and area

    On our way to Alaska for the SF Bay Area we stopped at several different camping locations along lakes and mountains. The only one we went out of our way to stay at when coming back was Lost Lake Campground. The sites are plenty big, have tables and fire pits. The entire area is amply wooded to provide privacy and the sense of seclusion. The bathrooms were clean and always had TP. There is running water spigots dispersed  throughout the camping areas. If I'm ever in the area it will be the 1st place I go.


Guide to Ridgefield

Located just off Interstate 5 near the Washington-Oregon border, Ridgefield offers campers diverse accommodation options within a short drive of the Columbia River. The region's mild climate allows for year-round camping with average summer temperatures around 80°F and winter lows rarely dropping below 35°F. Several campgrounds in the area cater to elevated outdoor experiences with platform tents, yurts, and cabins for those seeking more comfort than traditional tent camping.

What to do

Explore disc golf courses: Paradise Point State Park Campground features a 9-hole disc golf course that provides an entertaining activity for glampers. As one camper noted, "Hole one is a fun one that plays under a freeway overpass," making it a unique experience even for beginners.

Paddle the rivers: The Lewis River access points provide excellent opportunities for water recreation. At Paradise Point State Park Campground, "Down at the day use area (which has a nice small beach) the sound was so loud it was hard to hear people talking just a few feet away," but the area "provides life jackets if you forget yours."

Hike forest trails: Camp Wilkerson offers multiple hiking paths through dense forest. One visitor mentioned, "Hiking and horse trails meander through the forest along a creek or two," though they cautioned that "The Little Foot trail is overgrown and the wayfinding signs don't make any sense."

Visit Mount St. Helens: Just 40 miles from glamping close to Ridgefield, Washington, Seaquest State Park Campground offers access to Mount St. Helens. A visitor reported, "From Sequest State Park, it was a 10 hour day to do the loop in order to see the east side, with only one short hike thrown in," so plan accordingly.

What campers like

Private yurt accommodations: Seaquest State Park's "yurt village was my favorite part about this campground. If you are camping with a large family this would be a perfect spot to try and rent all the spaces. you would essentially have your own bathroom, outdoor play area."

Riverfront relaxation: Camp Kalama RV Park offers sites along the Kalama River. One visitor described it as "Nice and simple camp site to hit for the night. Access to the kalama river. We kayaked around it was nice."

Quick nature escapes: At only 30 minutes from Portland, Oxbow Regional Park provides a convenient glamping option for weekend getaways. A camper shared, "Easy distance from Portland on the Sandy River. Down a steep hill (important if you're biking). Nothing that incredible, but nice enough for one night or a weekend away."

Hot showers: For glampers seeking comfort, Seaquest State Park offers "Adequate bathrooms with mirrors, flushing toilets, hot shower! Peaceful yet can still hear the highway."

What you should know

Highway noise: Many campgrounds near Ridgefield are close to Interstate 5, affecting the wilderness experience. At Paradise Point State Park, one camper cautioned, "Freeway is really really close to the whole camp site. You can hear vehicles at night. If you're a light sleeper or need nature noises when camping - this is not the site for you."

Cell service limitations: For those planning to work remotely while glamping, connectivity varies significantly. At Dairy Creek West, visitors report good reception, while at Seaquest State Park, expect "Limited cell service with T-Mobile but it still works! Free WiFi in the day use area."

Pricing variations: Washington State Parks have variable pricing. A visitor to Seaquest noted, "Tent sites are $23-34 during the shoulder season currently. Sites marked with an 'E' are $23, 'B' $30, 'P' $34."

Seasonal insects: Some areas experience heavy mosquito activity. At Seaquest, campers warn to "Beware the mosquitos! We always get eaten alive when we stay at Seaquest."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground features facilities designed for children. One visitor mentioned there was "a huge playground for the kids" and "a large field area for dogs to roam around, just no fence."

Educational opportunities: Seaquest State Park offers "a great Junior Ranger program with a very enthusiastic park ranger that kept the almost 50 people/kids entertained. She was great at engaging all the kids and teaching them about the park."

Transport assistance: For family glamping with lots of gear, Dairy Creek West provides helpful equipment: "They have carts available for hike in campers to use at the campground trailhead if needed. Note that if you're using a cart, that the walk in is uphill."

Biking with kids: Champoeg offers "GREAT biking trails that are kid friendly. There lots of historical sites around the campground to enjoy as well."

Tips from RVers

Size limitations: Paradise Point State Park has tight spaces for larger rigs. One RVer warned, "We arrived and it was IMPOSSIBLE to get our rig in that site due to the trees. We couldn't even continue out the secondary loop because it was so narrow and had trees on the inside of turns."

Loop selection: At Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground, "Loop B is highly our favorite because it is smaller and more private and close to the river."

Water pressure concerns: Some RV sites have utility issues. At L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park, "The water pressure was not very good at around 35 psi."

Satellite connectivity: Tree cover affects RV technology. One camper at L.L. Stub Stewart noted, "We had a clear shot to the north sky for Starlink, but it's doubtful we'd get a southern sky shot from this site due to the mature trees."
