    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Trillium Lake

    Classic Camping, with a Great View of Mt. Hood 🏔

    Day 5/6 - Pacific North Quest (Mt. Hood)

    A classic camping spot with an amazing view of Mt. Hood across Trillium Lake. The campground is nestled deep in old growth forest with spacious sites and running water. The best feature though, is the easy access to the trails and fishing at Trillium Lake, and proximity to Mt. Hood.

    From Trillium Lake we made the short drive up to Timberline Lodge where you can access the Palmer Glacier and the zones on the south side of Mt. Hood. On the first day we skinned up to Illumination Rock for some sunset turns and on second day we explored the natural terrain and build a jump at the top of Big Zigzag canyon.

    Check out the three other campgrounds we visited on our Pacific North Quest summer ski touring trip (Smith Rock State Park, Trillium Lake, and Prairie Campground), and download the Snowledge App to see some incredible photos, along with touring stats and maps from each mission.

    Columbia Gorge Getaways

    Clean, safe, inviting, stunning views and landscape, beautiful accomodation

    Our family has had the privilege of enjoying Columbia Gorge Getaways on three separate occasions and each time was a joyous and exceptional experience. Our first time staying was for a friend's wedding. Everything was perfect from start to finish and hands down one of the best weddings we have been to from the stunning Ceremony site overlooking the luscious forest to the fun event space perfect for any gathering. We stayed in a Bell tent and I have never slept so soundly as I did for this cozy glamping weekend. The bathrooms have everything you need and being amongst friends and family in such a gorgeous space was pure bliss. 

    We gathered again for a lovely baby shower on a perfect Spring day! Again, the event space was such a great spot and our kids loved play area and fun lawn games! 

    The last time we stayed we brought our tent and loved it. We were amazed at how comfortable and spacious our site was along with a lovely picnic table to enjoy our meals. The kids loved running around the safe and friendly campsite and playing in the play space. They have been hounding us to return and we cannot wait! We will be recommending Columbia Gorge Getaways to everyone as the perfect gathering spot! Thank you for the wonderful experiences each and every time.

Guide to White Salmon

Camping opportunities abound near White Salmon, Washington, where elevations range from 100 feet along the Columbia River to over 2,000 feet in the surrounding hills. The area experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures averaging 85°F from June through August and cooler, wetter conditions from November through March. Most campgrounds in this region open from April through October, though a few offer year-round camping options with varying amenities during winter months.

What to do

Hiking at Lost Lake: Trek the 3-mile loop trail around Lost Lake Resort And Campground for views of Mt. Hood reflecting in the water. "There's a well-stocked general store that's got everything you need. The water is crisp and clear and there is good fishing. If it has a flaw, it's that it's almost too popular, and sometimes the crowds can overwhelm it," notes Brian C.

Fruit Loop touring: Visit local orchards and farm stands on the popular agricultural trail near Hood River, just 20 minutes from Gorge Base Camp RV Park. "We used it as a base for exploring the Mount Hood Fruit Loop area. First, note that the name has changed to Gorge Base Camp RV Park. It is right across the bridge from Hood River," shares Jeremy J.

Petroglyph viewing: Explore ancient rock art at Columbia Hills Historical State Park Campground, where guided tours depart just minutes from campsites. "One of the best aspects was the petroglyphs that were along trails near the campground. This was a great spot and I highly recommend it!" explains Mary C.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Find secluded camping at Black Lake Campground, where sites are arranged on a hillside rather than a traditional grid. "4 camp sites surrounding a small lake. 1 and 2 are private while 3 and 4 are right next to each other. The best campsites are those that are not crowded and you can enjoy the stillness during the day or night," reports Ryan D.

Waterfront access: Cool off during hot summer months at Tucker Park Campground, where river sites provide immediate water access. "We spent two nights at one of the river sites with easy access to the river. The campsite was scattered with smooth rocks perfect for tanning and nice sandy beaches along the river for your fur companions to cool off," says Mackenzie H.

Clean facilities: Many campers appreciate the well-maintained amenities at several campgrounds. "The bathrooms and showers were clean. The park has almost new bathrooms and laundry facilities, it is well maintained and very clean. We will certainly keep this on our list!!" shares David & Sue C. about their stay near White Salmon.

What you should know

Train noise: Several campgrounds along the Columbia River sit near active railroad tracks. "This camp ground is fantastic, sites are very well maintained and level. The campground is very close to the main railroad tracks and trains come by every hour or so at all times of the day. After 3 days you actually become accustomed to the sounds," advises Travis B. at Gorge Base Camp RV Park.

Reservation requirements: Glamping close to White Salmon, Washington requires advance planning, especially for summer stays. "Reservations are hard to get we booked at 6am, six months out and felt very lucky to get three spots for our family Campout," cautions a Trillium Lake camper.
