Armitage Park Campground

Oregon has some great state and city parks. This is certainly one of them! It is well managed and very well maintained. The loop through the park is in perfect condition. Our site was under large deciduous trees, with plenty of room for a 45 ft coach and toad. The sites are available for up to 14 days in any 60 day period.

The park is wonderful and the dogs loved being able to walk around (on leash). Right next to where we were parked there is a large open field alongside a road down to the McKenzie River, which is about 40-50 feet wide and fast flowing. If you have an Oregon fishing license you can fish for trout, salmon, etc., either with lures or fly fishing. Drift boats are a popular way of fishing and there is a boat launch. There are paths along the river in the park.

The park has WiFi which is kind of ok for web browsing. The cell signal was variable depending upon how busy the freeway was as the Verizon tower was a bit overloaded at times, sometimes it was a bit borderline for a video call, but I'd still class it as workable for us working nomads.

On the rainy days', site 30 and those around it were under the trees which made it quite dark, but on the sunny days, it was appreciated! Eugene as a city has everything and the core shops are all less than 10 minutes away (Costco, Home Depot, supermarket). The nearby road isn't too busy, but there is background noise from I-5, I didn't notice it much unless down by the river or in the background when filming around the area.

Overall this was a beautiful park, that is a joy to stay in. I must make sure I have time to fish next time.

We love this campground and will definitely return! The campground filled up every night of our stay, but the campground was still very quiet. The hosts and staff are very friendly and helpful, but they had a sign saying no early check-ins and there is no RV parking allowed in the Day Use area, so plan your arrival around that.

There are tons of amenities, so the nightly price is a great value. There is an off-leash dog park by the entrance to the campground. The sites are spacious and private, with paved and level sites. The back-in sites are angled so that they are easy to maneuver into, but there are some pull-thru sites as well. Utilities are placed within easy reach to the RV and the utility podiums at each site are lit at night (but are not too bright for sleeping).

We were here for an event in Eugene and found the campground to be the perfect spot with easy access to everywhere we needed to go. Costco (with fuel), Trader Joes, Walmart, PetSmart are all within about 1.5 miles.

The WiFi is free, but pretty slow and it can be really difficult to get onto in the evenings. The campground has CableTV access, but we don't have a TV in our rig, so I can't speak to how it works. Overall, we really enjoyed this campground and our stay here.

Arrived after office had closed, around 7pm. Very nice and helpful park host was outside walking his cat on a leash when we pulled up. He greeted us warmly and made sure we understood how the dry erase board showing availability worked - including to make sure we came back to the board to wipe off the # of our site after we claimed it. We stayed on a Monday night and there were just 2 sites available. After dinner, I walked by the same dry erase board and saw a hanging sign indicating “campground full”.

Some reviewers talk about hearing Interstate noise which is barely audible when you’re walking around camp. Highway noise was completely inaudible once we were inside our camper - and we are not hard of hearing. Park was very clean and peaceful. Not a ton of privacy between sites but we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other either. We travel in a B-van so we opted to use the showers. There’s an access code to the bathrooms which were basic cinder block construction w/ a concrete floor. Think “private prison shower” and you’ll be fine. This is a county campground, not an “RV resort”. We found the timed shower (9 min.) to be plenty adequate with very warm (hot!) water. Although the stream reminded me of a garden hose and not so much that of a residential shower spray head.
Overall a very pleasant camp spot and one we hope to come back to the next time our travels bring us through Coburg, OR.

$33 for 50 amps, water & sewer in a gorgeous big green park with spacious sites, a huge horseshoe- shaped pull- through site...and only 12 minutes from downtown Eugene! A quick easy stop off the I-5. $30 for 30 amps. They also have laundry and hot showers. This is a bargain compared to the other parks around that boast good reviews. (One of those other parks quoted me $55 plus $3 per kid for the night.) They do offer online reservations for those planning ahead. We just arrived before the office closed at 5. There is a camphost on site and this park felt very safe. There is a max stay of 14 days, so no long term rigs here.

Armitage Park is a very nice county park well designed for a qualitative camping experience. Each site features level asphalt pads well spaced between your neighbor. You will have choices of a back in site or pull through, open space location or under tree canopies. Features include full hook ups and cable tv. There is also free Wi-Fi, but it was not usable during our stay. The signal may have been stronger if we were camped nearer to the Wi-fi antenna. Restrooms, free showers and laundromat are well maintained and kept very clean. There are plenty of trash and recycle bins located throughout the park, thus ensuring a pretty litter free landscape.

A walking path to the spacious wooded day use picnic areas will lead you down to the beautiful McKenzie River with many access points to the water. There is also a huge dog park for your pets to go wild. This park is located near I-5, so you will hear road noise. Shopping and restaurants are also but a short distance away. The camp host sells firewood and/or bagged ice during their open hours. Their interpersonal skills need some work, but they seemed task efficient.

As this campground is a very popular park for locals, we highly recommend reservations, especially during the college football season. This park is in "Duck" country, so the fan base resides here during any weekend game and as expected, their tailgate parties are brought back to the campground, so is the crowd noise. We noticed that even on weekdays, reservation placards were always replaced when a site was vacated.

Level asphalt pads between nice grass space. Shade trees but we still had satellite. FHUs with 50 amp and good water pressure. Grounds are well maintained although the noisy lawn equipment is annoying. I suppose one can't have it clean and completely quiet :-)

The park has direct access to the McKenzie River along a beautiful day park. There is some noise from the street out front, but not bad.

The only ding is the access to the RV sites from the day use parking lot. Our friends lost their outdoor chairs when they stayed here so we locked up our ladder while we were here. We felt safe for our stay.

The park's WiFi is free and very fast. A wonderful surprise in a county park!
