Jantzen Beach RV Park

Exceptionally close together spots with a lot of road and boat noise. Acceptable for an overnight or short city RV park stay, but not family friendly. Lots of full timers towards the back of the park. Difficult reservation system. Traffic to and from the area is bad in Portland during rush hour. Shopping mall within walking distance across the street (Duluth Trading was the biggest perk of this park).

Unfortunately, this RV park refuses those with dogs due to certain breeds. This is both discriminatory and sad given the research on breed specific legislation/discrimination. I would encourage those who own this park to read up on BSL as well as find an insurance provider who does not discriminate based on breed. Absolutely ridiculous and frustrating.

Stayed here for 2 weeks while visiting family. Location is very convenient with freeways and amenities within walking distance. Site is huge but there are trees for shade. Park is not well maintained as there was significant trash in my site when I pulled in and all around in the barkdust and grass. 3 piles of dog poop in my site, and the picnic table was falling apart and peeling with about 10 squeezed lime wedges tossed all around (margarita party prior)? I ended up grabbing gloves and trash bag and cleaning up my site, then using my blower to put the dirt and barkdust back where it belonged. Park was fine, but maintenance and upkeep was pretty poor. I shouldn't have to clean my site when I arrive and clean up someone else's dog poop and party leavings. Can't speak to community areas as they were all closed due to COVID.

We usually don’t love going private RV parks, but this one was a great choice. We lucked out and got a site in the back of the park that backed up to hedges. It seems if you stay less than a week they will put you in the pull throughs at the front of the park, which are much closer together and less private. If you can request a site in the back of the park. Rate listed is the weekly rate/7. Daily rate is $50.

PROs:
- amazing proximity to Portland, 15 minutes with no traffic
- walking distance to Target, Sierra, & so many big box stores. Good for us, bad for our wallets haha.
- lots of trees and even shrubbery between sites, something I rarely see at private parks.
- although the park has a lot of long-term residents everyone keeps their sites clean and the whole park is well-maintained. Everyone we encountered was very nice.
- Good amenities: full hook up, coin/card op laundry (8 washers), pool, recycling, active night security.
- Good value price

CONs:
- Planes, trains, boats - you’ll hear them all here, but we had no problem sleeping.
- Biggest problem was data signal! Although we had LTE signal that worked early morning & at night, it gets super congested during the day and was unusable! Never had such a major data signal congestion problem before. The problem was maybe just in our part of the park, even if we walked to Target the problem didn’t apply, just in RV park. As folks that work from our trailer this was a huge pain for us, but could easily walk to Panera or Starbucks to work. Park offers wi fi which was much better than most RV park wi fi, but also was too clogged during the day for our work.

Overall, great choice for a place to sleep while visiting Portland.

We stayed here due to its location to our daughter's home; she was having a baby! (they do not have a guest room).

I have to say that the Front Desk staff were extremely courteous and helpful; especially when you consider that when I originally called about 2 weeks ahead of the due date, I did know our exact arrival date. Fortunately this was not a busy time of year.

Also, this was our FIRST time out with our new trailer and we figured that we would be close to stores, family and friends if something went wacko on the trailer. Well, our hot water tank (brand new) did not work so we showered in the park's showers. Moldy and SUPER SLIMY is the description. We did not have Shower Flip Flops, so got out as quickly as possible; VERY unexpected and disappointing. This was a slow time of year, but there had been NO maintenance for quite some time. We were quite surprised, because it seemed like a fairly nice RV Park.

There is a nice outdoor mall across the street with Target, Home Depot, Home Goods, and restaurants. However, there is NO grocery store. The Safeway had to close a few months ago, due to theft and transients. But, it was on the other side of I-5.

We felt quite safe there; our Semi- Permanent neighbor was very friendly. There are many permanent residents; most are tidy and quite a few were not. Being December, it was a very quiet and cold time of year.

Yes, it is under the PDX flight plan. Personally, this is not a bother to us; some may hate it. We joked that each time a jet flew overhead, our tv signal was pretty messed up. SO, yes, we would stay here again if needed; only due to its close location to our daughter's house.

The campground had the usual amenities the laundry room was reasonably priced and clean as were the showers and restrooms. The sites were small and close together but we had to pull through for our 41 foot fifth wheel and it was a level paved pad with some room and picnic table. 50 amps. Walking distance to a large mall there was a swimming pool that looks nice but it was closed for the season. Good place for a short stay.

My nightly rate was based on 7 day stay.

I really enjoyed this park. I was a tad bit nervous, because I had been living in Portland for the past year, and knew the homeless population is quite large. But, the park was perfectly safe! I actually don't think I saw anyone that didn't belong in the park. The entire thing is fenced. There are a number of long stay residents, but none of the site were messy. I was greeted with a hi by everyone that was living there that I saw. It had a very nice neighborly feel to it.

As far as traffic...it is Portland. That is always there, just like any big city. Yes, you are in the flight path of the airport, but it didn't bother me, nor was it overly loud. You are staying a city, so there is going to be a lot of noise!

As far as sites go, I got lucky and got one on the outer perimeter, with a nice little spot of grass for my table. I never used the bath house or laundry, so I can't comment on that, but the grounds themselves were very clean.

Connections. Both Sprint and Verizon worked. In the afternoons Verizon would get bogged down. For speedtests using my Galaxy phone to test, Sprint got 40.6 mps down, and 1.26 up. Verizon got 15.7 down, and .68 up. That was just one test I did over the week, early in the morning on a Monday.

The only reasons i didnt give it 5 stars are the not so clean showers- no staff to clean them, airport nearby, and poor wifi connection.

I went here for the location, to spend time in portland. It was convenient to get to public buses and was located next to a bunch of big dept stores for anything you might need.

I would not recommend driving through portland. too much traffic. definitely easier to use the bus for $5 day pass.

Bathrooms are mostly clean but they rely on campers to clean them after they use them. therefore they werent always clean.

They had a pool onsite which was really nice since it was 85 for a couple days while i was there.

Planes flew overhead constantly from 7am to 10pm. sometimes more. i wasnt at the park much during that time so it wasnt too bothersome but i can see how it would be.

paved sights. back up to one another and not too much room in between. if youre looking for privacy this isnt for you.

overall it worked well for me to see the city of portland and i would stay here again.
