Crown Point RV

Nicely situated on the Old Columbia River Highway, and tucked away from the roadside by large trees and a tall wooden fence, this small campground is a secret treasure. I had spent a day looking for campgrounds in the Portland area that were comfortable and affordable enough to stay for a month, and most of the places around Portland were unappealing - mostly commercial places catering to the big rigs with little nature or privacy. I almost passed this place up, thinking it was TOO rinky-dink, but it was cozy and rustic in the way that I like it, and convenient to the Columbia River Gorge and Portland.

Boice-Cope County Park

We were lucky enough to get one of the three RV sites with a view of the lake and privacy created by surrounding trees. This is a popular spot for windsurfing on the lake. It's a big lake, separated from the ocean by a narrow strip of dunes. Very beautiful area. Close to Port Orford. The other RV sites are in a clearing with no trees or privacy.

at rivers edge rv resort

Great friendly staff. Paved, level sites and roads. Being just a mile and a half from Highway 101, the property was private and quiet - right on the river surrounded by forested hills. You go down a narrow, fairly steep driveway to get to the place, which gives it a nice sense of privacy from the rest of the world. The Chetco River is right at your doorstep and there is a nice area on the edge of the campground where Riley could swim in the clear river and be off leash. That is priceless to me. Still, it's all paved and while it's surrounded by nature, the individual sites don't have much in the way of trees, grass, and privacy. Spacious enough, though. And their monthly rates are around $360.

Airstream Terraport

Designed as three circles, it's great that Airstream offers this full-hookup place to camp. It's a very easy walk to town. I parked in the back circle, because it felt surrounded by the most open space - a fenced field on one side, but a grassy lawn on the Airstream side. Airstream brings a tractor in the early morning to fetch your trailer, which leaves people hanging out in lawn chairs by their car, or chatting in the customer lounge. Be prepared to talk all things Airstream with your fellow Airstreamers! ...and take the tour.

peaceful valley campground

Awesomely beautiful valley. On the river. Seasonal renters are directly on the river and have a large plot and riverfront to do with as they please. Huge open grass field - an airstrip, actually. Surrounded by velvety green mountains and just really beautiful and peaceful. I only paid $10 because I didn't hook anything up. Not sure what the hookup rate is. But he said $1600 for the seasonal waterfront sites. Verizon did NOT work. No service at all. So no internet and the campground does not offer wifi. Bathrooms and shower room were pretty dirty, but the location was great.

jim & mary's rv park

This was a great place to stay with nice green lawns and well-kept, spacious sites. On the outskirts of town, surrounded by rolling Montana hills, it was in good proximity to downtown Missoula and even Glacier National Park. The weather was fantastic too.

natchez state park

I only stayed here one night, but it was a nice park on a lake and close to Natchez, a small town worth a visit. Clean showers. Friendly neighbors.

sunset point campground

This is a really beautiful campground on a point looking west over Harrington River. Lots of beautiful grassy lawn that the owner meticulously maintains, as well as beautiful grassy trails through the woods on the water's edge. I really loved this campground and my site with a large shade tree and waterfront view, but it was just too far removed from anything except a grocery store. Everything else (hiking trails, Lubec, Acadia) was about an hour's drive. Because of this, it is cheaper than most of the parks around Acadia NP. I went a little stir crazy here for an entire month. Blazing fast wi-fi.

smuggler's den

It was a great idea to stay on the "quiet side" of MDI and this place is great. LOVED being so close to Acadia, and it was nice not to have to deal with the congestion of Bar Harbor, even though I was here before the busy season started. Will definately come back here and stay awhile - off season is superb. Verizon worked just fine.
