Sandy Riverfront RV Resort

We have stayed here pre-pandemic when the price was in the 30s. Not sure why the price hike, nothing new here.

Most sites are in parking-lot like rows but we were lucky enough to get a river view (101) for the first 3 nights. We needed to extend our stay by one night so we had to move to site 190. We’re glad they were able to accommodate us.

That being said, there are a couple of issues that caused me to lower the rating:
1) bathhouse is only open 8am- 12pm
2) sprinklers came on at 11 am just when we were disconnecting to leave so everything got soaked
3) laundry room takes special tokens that you can only get from the main office. (Hours available after 11:00 am)

Only complaint is the noise. Near a railroad, road to a state park (filled with the typical yahwhos driving small cars with loud mufflers), and the flight patterns of a couple of nearby small airports. Did not use restrooms. Laundry was nice. Reservation process and interaction with front desk staff was a bit odd. Very good access to Portland area and Columbia River Gorge. We have stayed here twice now, and if you can manage the ambient noise, it's a nice park.

Riverfront is a joke. The only river front sites I saw were rented out to what looked like monthly with all the crap around them. This is a concrete slab like parking lot. So called putting green is worn out. Everything was run down and we couldn't wait to leave. We had scheduled two nights but left for a nicer place.
They were kind enough to refund us for the second night though and staff was friendly. Seems that the owners are the ones that need a kick in the butt. Wont be going back there and you should avoid it unless you are strictly there to visit Troutdale.
On traveling too this place go through town and don't follow Google. There is a one lane breidge and not sure of the clearance if you come in along the river.

They are at the top of our price range for sure but its such an easy park to use while exploring the Columbia River Gorge. There really isn't anything else around.
The lady in the office was nice but to the point about everything. The bulldog Daphne was a big hit with my kids!
We didn't get in the creek but you can if you want to. We saw a lot of other people doing it at the public access points across the creek.
Sites were level but pretty close together and most lived there full time. No room to put our awning out but we weren't there for long so that was fine.
They did have a little basketball court that my kids loved and a nice laundry facility that you have to buy tokens for.
Overall, pretty nice park!

Troutdale is a tiny town in the Portland area, halfway Portland downtown and Multnomah waterfalls. Even though at the end of September the season should dwindle down, the camping is close to full every night. We get a very warm welcome, the reception is great. Wifi is pretty ok, laundry and bathrooms are clean. On Sunday there is a free breakfast with waffles, bacon and eggs.

The big round bulb lanterns give a lot of light at night, but also take away the excitement of camping a little bit. We find that a lot of the campers stay here fulltime.
