Columbia River RV Park

Check in quick. First time we have ever had to supply truck insurance papers for camping which we thought was odd. Easy pull in. The only things we didn’t like was our site was dirty with litter and actual rv parts from ????? And it is noisy with road trains and the planes at the airport next door. We were just passing thru so good for one night

Were not sure what to expect, we'd stayed at Jantzen Beach last time, which was one would expect from an RV park in a major metropolitan area. We were pleasantly surprised.

The approach was easy enough although our GPS routed us inexplicably through a neighborhood rather than directly off Marine Dr. Clean, well maintained, well spaced, level concrete sites, most of which appear to be pull-throughs. They do have many permanent residents, but all the rigs and sites look to be carefully tended to. There are clear warning postings regarding the potential for theft of items left untended or unsecured, so do heed that and if you have bicycles or other portable items of value, make sure they are locked up or inside at night.

We were in site 112. Before you park, take a good look at your site for purposes of positioning with regards to slides. There is a tall metal post next to the electrical box, and then the water spigot is encased in a circular pvc box about maybe two foot high, 6 inches across, and it sits about 5 or 6 feet forward of the electrical box. We placed our right side trailer tires on the right edge of the concrete pad and the main slide came out just shy of the water box. Also, because of the placement of the sewer hole at the back of the site, our tank outlet midway up our trailer, combined with the placement required to clear the water and power boxes, it required our longest sewer hose combination (30 foot total) and just barely made it.

There is cable, adequate cell signal, and wifi. HOWEVER, when I connected with the wifi I got the warning message that it was an unsafe site. The park instructions for the wifi said to go to the browser and sign in, but the sign in page never appeared, the wifi simply connected automatically. I chose not to use it.
Location is good, near a bike trail, the river, several good restaurants. Noise, however could be an issue if the airport traffic and the regular fighter jets screaming by overhead bothers you. For us that’s just part of the ambience.

If staying long term in the northwest were in our plan, this would be one of our choices.

Many reviews discussed the noise from the airport, planes coming and going which wasn’t so bad, unless you’re a light sleeper. The bigger concern for us was the fighter jets which were much louder! Not sure if that’s normal but that was a lot!

The site and park are great and well maintained! They really pack you in tight but we were shocked at a fully occupied rv park and it was surprisingly quiet all the times. Barely saw people.

The laundry was very clean and reasonably priced compared to many. The office had plenty of rolled quarters. The bathrooms and showers seemed to be cleaned every day which is amazing. Was very impressed with the cleanliness!

We chose to stay here because of the proximity to a wedding we were attending in north Portland. Staff were super friendly and accommodating - even responding immediately to see why I couldn’t get the water to work. NOTE: there are 2 water faucets... the one that works comes from the big silver box at your site, don’t use the spigot attached to the electric breaker box.
Showers were clean, RV park was quiet, and there’s a decent little mini mart an easy walk down the road in case you forgot some necessities or need to quench a late night craving for a hot dog. Wi-Fi was terrible.
Note about the “quiet”... there’s a significant amount of air traffic noise coming from PDX (Portland’s International Airport). This didn’t interrupt our sleep but when we eating dinner outside our rig it made carrying on a conversation challenging. We gave 4 stars for site quality because it lacked a picnic table - everything else was great.
Overall, we liked this little RV park that’s home to a lot of full timers. If you don’t mind camping among the locals, this is a great place.

Sure, it’s kind of close to the airports so you hear planes fly overhead. But they really aren’t that loud at all. The spots are well kept, and it’s always very quiet. The only downside is, they only allow you to stay for longer periods of time if your rv is 10 years old or newer. We have a 2006 sprinter, so if we wanted to stay for a while, we’d have to go elsewhere. The lake nearby is very pretty and makes for a really pleasant walk when it’s not so cold out. Cell service is also really decent, but I didn’t take note of exactly how many bars we had. We use verizon and at&t
