Omak to Portland

[concours]

We are travelling from Omak WA thru Portland OR and looking for a campground to stay for one or two nights there is the Mary Hill park at Goldendale we have stayed there before but we want to travel further that day, any suggestions for something west of The Dallies not too far off the hwy

On the Oregon side, Memaloose State park about mile post 74, I-84 and Ainsworth state park about mile post 35, exit 35, I-84 both have overnight camping and are minutes on/off he freeway. Both have the freeway traffic and 2 rail roads that you get to listen to all night. The first park is north of the freeway the second is south. Reservations likely not needed, number 1-800-452-5687.

Don't know where you are headed after Portland, but, just south of Portland is the Portland-Woodburn RV Park (Arney RD, exit 271 off I-5) nice, roomy park close to town & outlet malls.

Another possibility is Champoeg State Recreational Area. We've stayed here many times when traveling south or north via I5. It is located about 5 miles SW of Newberg which is south of Portland. Not sure how much further south you would like to drive but I would suggest this campground even though it is a ways off I5 and may be too far off your route for an overnight stay. Reservations are probably going to be needed.

I agree with Festus 100%, I have sayed in and worked all of those parks. If you want and peaceful night and can drive alittle longer Champoeg is the best. Get a reservation in summer. 36 bucks a night. By the way trains run in the gorge about every 15 mins on one side or the other at night, I timed them.

Thanks for the replies we are making our way down to Hemet for the winter but want to go down the coast

Sounds like a really nice trip. Try rt 26 from Portland area to the coast. Very nice drive and then you'll have all of those wonderful Oregon State Parks to choose from
