Due to severe windstorms several years back, Raab was changed from a normal use campground into a group only one that requires reservations and may only be open on weekend. Previous to it's conversion, Raab was a great campground on the Collawash river, right before it meets the Clackamas river.

The spaces in A loop do not have river access. Actually, thei're on a 30-50 foot cliff above the river. Access can be gained by walking down to the far end of the campground… and walking through other campsites.

If you have a group going, mostly enjoy chilling at your campsite, and nothing else going on, then this is not too shabby of a campground.

Rainbow campground is a great little campground that is nestled up right next to ripplebrook. A neat and easily exploitable feature about Rainbow is it's proximity to the Ripplebrook Ranger/Information Station. Being just a couple minutes down the road made it nice to access to extra firewood, bottled water, and dare I say…. candy. Out of all of the available spaces, we found space #10 to be extremely accommodating to our pop-up trailer, SUV, and one additional vehicle. What is also great about this space is that it is large enough to fit maybe 3 medium sized tents. We also appreciated being able to camp right next to the stream that flowed nearby. Now, get rid of the concessionaires running campgrounds in our national forests, and you'd have 5-star camping experience.
