Columbia River RV Park

I liked some things about this park, namely the location, easy to get to off I-5 (ridiculous off -I-205!). They have a packet with really good info that is useful which is appreciated. The park is easy enough to navigate, but the sites are very close, not much space between and their utilities are clear in the back so you can’t stay hooked up to your tow car and hook up to utilities, especially sewer. So it defeats most of the purpose of a pull through. Pretty easy to book online which is nice. We came in after hours and booked the same day so, late afternoon and got one of only 2 spaces left so I was a little nervous but had no problem with the info they left on the door.

This seems to primarily be a long-term stay park that takes short-term visitors but they have rules about the age of RVs so it has a clean feel not rundown like most long-term parks. Sites are level and long and the facilities are what you need, no frills. Bathroom/showers were clean and laundry room has good washers and two new dryers but the laundry room is small so it’s really only good for one user at a time. Definitely airport noise, especially when the Oregon National Guard are active with their fighter jets. Overall it’s a solid place to stay to explore the Portland/Vancouver/Columbia Gorge areas.

Time for an up to date review. We’ve been staying here for three or four years, multiple time per year. It is a great park overall. There is one issue that is GLARING and is ignored by the management. The LAUNDRY ROOM has ample equipment, but the equipment is OLD! The dryers catch your clothes, tear holes in the clothes, and leave one inch long black marks on MULTIPLE places on the clothes. The response in the office is “We’ll let somebody know”. Ruined two blouses and a pair of jeans. We will seek out a local laundromat to use when we stay here again. Too bad they won’t address their problems. Oh, and did I mention, the Wi-Fi is a JOKE, and we are right next to the office. The owners must be getting greedy.

Concrete pads, paved roads, well maintained grass, no trees, quiet, clean. Crappy WiFi. Must provide age of RV, driver’s license and proof of insurance. If WiFi was decent this would get 4 stars.

Attempted to make a reservation, however they don’t allow dogs over 50 lbs.... I know a dog that’s over 50 lbs in my own personal camper is very inconvenient for them. They are not pet friendly and they will discriminate against age over camper. Good luck with these pretentious people.

Attempted to make a reservation and they asked if we have a pet. We have a 70 pound Golden Retriever. They don't allow dogs over 50 pounds was the response. So not very pet friendly if they don't allow Golden Retrievers.

The park was clean but the Wi-Fi was very poor. The jet noise from the airport and military base was amazingly loud and constant. The management, oddly, chooses not to post the number of the night manager so that when you have need of them they will not be bothered. I can’t believe they told me that! We did have a problem when we got there after the office closed and had to wait until 9 AM.

Very clean, good facilities, but very poor internet. And, it is less than one mile from the Portland Airport so bring your earmuffs!

I will agree with DNJ from Texas, but they do not deserve a 5 star. There are mostly full timers living here the bathrooms are clean and the landscaping is nice. Paved level sites. Location is convenient to downtown. We took Uber with our dog and the cost was $18.00, much better than trying to park downtown.

I hate to leave a five star review, only because this campground is always near capacity. No airport or train noise during the week we stayed here. Paved sites, Security wall around the park, beautiful landscaping! Only concern was distance from the sewer hook up, poor layout here. Pluses: Digital cable, good internet, lots of over air digital stations, location! We will definitely stay here again, they have cleaned themselves up from previous posts!
