About Columbia River RV Park

Campground in Oregon.

Columbia River RV Park sits in a prime location along Portland's northeastern corridor, offering RV travelers convenient access to one of the Pacific Northwest's most vibrant cities. Nestled near the banks of the Columbia River, this park provides a peaceful retreat while keeping you just minutes away from Portland's diverse attractions, restaurants, and cultural experiences.

Portland has become one of the most dynamic destinations in the Pacific Northwest, known for its progressive spirit, incredible food scene, and natural beauty. The city sits at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, creating stunning waterfront views and outdoor recreation opportunities. Whether you're interested in exploring the city's famous Powell's City of Books, catching live music in world-class venues, or sampling craft beers at renowned breweries, Portland offers endless entertainment options for every type of traveler.

The location provides excellent access to iconic Portland attractions. You can easily visit the Portland Art Museum, explore the Portland Japanese Garden in Washington Park, or take a stroll through the quirky neighborhoods that make Portland famous. The waterfront area offers beautiful parks and walking paths perfect for stretching your legs after a day of driving. Food lovers will appreciate the farm-to-table restaurants, food cart pods, and diverse culinary scene that reflects Portland's commitment to local, sustainable eating.

Beyond the city, the surrounding region offers tremendous outdoor appeal. The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is within reasonable driving distance, featuring breathtaking waterfalls, hiking trails, and scenic vistas. Mount Hood provides another excellent day trip destination for those seeking alpine scenery and outdoor activities. The Willamette Valley wine country is also nearby for travelers interested in wine tasting and rural countryside exploration.

This location works particularly well for travelers who want to experience urban amenities while maintaining the comfort and freedom of RV camping. Whether you're visiting Portland for a few days or using the park as a base for exploring the broader Oregon region, the northeastern location offers accessibility without feeling rushed or cramped.

Park is clean but due to location next to airport it’s quite loud. Jet fighters, airlines and trains. WiFi did not work during our entire stay so working or streaming was very difficult. Bring ear plugs and your own WiFi solution.

We arrived around 11 PM and were initially unsure about where to check in, but fortunately we were able to complete everything online. The place is safe, reasonably priced, and the washrooms were clean. The only thing to note is that you may need to walk about 100–150 feet to reach the facilities.

We stay here every year for just a few days during the IndyCar Race. Its about 5 Min to the racetrack easy drive from this park. RV park has two dog runs we use that are well kept and nice enough. People that work here are nice and helpful. RV spots are fine nothing real fancy just a good spot. Cons - most of the park is filled with people that live there but that's typical of most of these places... We stay here every year for just a few days during the IndyCar Race.
