Armitage Park Campground

We’ve stayed here on our trip south from Washington to Arizona for the last three years. Easy access to/from I-5. Costco and Safeway nearby. Scenic location near river. Excellent Verizon signal. Lots of places to walk and a very nice dog park. Didn’t use restrooms/showers but just assumed they were closed anyway because of covid. Only con is a few homeless tents near the river. Could be a problem in warmer months but not in November. Note there is a $10 reservation fee added onto online reservations so we paid a total of $87 for a pull thru for 2 nights. Definitely will continue to stay here when passing through.

We have stayed here for years - fabulous campground / park not far outside of Eugene. Green, has blackberries, large grassy area and a huge dog park! We have stayed in site 6, 10 & 31 and all have been great. 10 is a back in with a little privacy as well as 31. There is a nice walking trail along the river and between the dog park and the day use area. We did notice a homeless camp under the bridge the last time here. Our Lab loved the dog park - it has pools to cool off in and like I said, is huge. Camp host was awesome last year when we needed a trailer part - had it delivered to the campground and he actually delivered to us in our site! You can hear the freeway / bridge traffic, but the river helps quiet it down.

I almost didn’t want to write this review so I could increase my chances of getting space to come back here.

This place has it all for me. I had good enough AT&T signal here to work (video calls) during the week. Not great signal but it was enough. WiFi is available but it didn’t cut it for my video calls. Paved sites surrounded by lush forest. Full connections including 50A electric which I needed this week because of how hot it was (mid 90’s most of the week).

It was quiet and the grounds are well kept. Very slight down tick and on my rating because of the freeway noise which was pretty easy to tune out and definitely got quieter at night. Didn’t hear it inside the coach but tent camping may have made it worse.

I’m self contained so I had no reason to use the bathrooms or showers so I can’t rate them.

This is a large beautiful county park close to Eugene and I-5. Large tree shaded sites with full hookups and asphalt driveways. Some are are pull though, some back in. We have a 35’ motor home towing a Jeep and fit easily in our site. When I made the reservation they didn’t even ask what kind of space I needed because they all seem to be large. I called in the afternoon to make reservation for that night. They charge a $10 reservation fee in addition to $35 per night for the site.
Friendly people, lots of big trees and grassy areas and birds singing. There is a huge fenced dog park and many walking paths, including some that run along the McKenzie river. The only downside is noise from the freeway but it’s not horrible.

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.
