Rate reflects monthly rate. Stayed here for our second spring. Noise levels are very high. Between the 18 wheelers, Portland airport and National Guard F 16's, it is very noisy. Verizon aircard signal is very weak and dropped frequently. The Wi-Fi offered is a daily charge by a provider. All that being said, this is one of the best parks in the area. Sites are large and there are large grass areas between concrete pads. Few amenities, no pool or activities. Rec room kitchen is dirty with dishes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park, well maintained. Staff very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for several months when first coming to the Portland area. This park is across the street from the Portland Yacht Club. Spaces are level and fairly large. Room for our 40' motorhome and two vehicles. There wasn't wifi access that we know of but since we were staying for a few months we went ahead and made the easy call to the phone company and the local cable company and had cable internet at our site within 2 days. The staff at this park are very friendly and we will surely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very clean park with fairly wide sites. There was room in the pull through sites for our 42' fifth wheel, dually TV and extra car. There is lots of grass between sites, level sites. We didn't notice much noise after sunset. We didn't find access difficult but don't try to get to 13th street from Gertz St. There's a concrete island that you can't negotiate with a rig of any size. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very clean park, and good access to a great bike route along the river. But being right under the flight path was noisy during the day, though traffic noise from the road was minimal. The Wifi connection was not free, and using our AirCard we had a very slow connection. We picked the park since we thought it had access to the light rail - but that was over a mile away, with no good bus connection. We'd stay here again if we needed to get to the airport, but it has no great appeal beyond that. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here through summer. The sites are large with plenty of grass. Large trucks traveling along road are quite noisy. There is an airport near by and planes taking off overhead are very distracting with National Guard flights being the worst. There is no pool and very few amenities. No free WiFi . Verizon air card signal is not very strong. We camped here in a Motorhome.

No way can you see or hear the river from here. Access is very difficult, off a residential street. Half the residents are permanent with yard decor exceptions made for them. Change for laundry not is provided anywhere on site and no one has suggestions where to find change except to canvass neighbors! No convenience store nearby. Ice was not available. They do let you leave your rental car with them for pickup. No dog walk area provided; must leave the park. Otherwise very clean. Just expect clean showers and park, flat sites and no amenities or helpfulness. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park had level, clean sites and was close to I-5. Airplane noise was very loud. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park with cement sites and grass around. Near airport and noise. Very friendly staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good place to stay for a few days when visiting the Portland area. Large, concrete pull through sites with plenty of grass between sites. No shade but since it's cool in Portland most of the time that's not a problem. Located next to Portland Airport and airplane take-off noise gets loud at times. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very clean and nicely laid out place to stay. There aren't a lot of trees nor is there a pool. The sites are mostly large and well spaced with lawn in between the concrete pads. Being in busy air traffic corridor to Portland International Airport you can expect to hear lots of aircraft noise. The Oregon National Guard makes the ground shake when they take off daily. I spent 3 years in this park while working in Portland. I should add I like the sound of jets and the air traffic is not bad at night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We used an AAA discount for a 4 day stay. There are wide asphalt streets and wide level concrete pads which are easy to enter and to exit. There are 12 feet of luxurious grass lawn between sites. We are full timers; this is one of the nicest RV parks we have ever been to. The sewer hookups are at the rear edge of the sites; we used 20 feet of hose to connect. Now a few words about the airport; the park is near the landing and takeoff pattern of a very busy airport. On a Sunday afternoon and evening we timed takeoffs at every 2 minutes for 4 hours. On two of our 4 days four fighters took off in mid-morning--they sure make a lovely racket. We did not find the airport noise bothersome during the night. We like airplanes, like to watch them take off and land. We thought the gardener's leaf blower on Monday morning was more annoying than the airplanes; they should give him a rake, broom and hose instead. Maybe that's the price for having such nice lawns. We are giving the park a 10 rating as an RV park; readers should subtract from our rating according to how much they are bothered by airport noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We found the park was now under new management that was very friendly and helpful. We know changes can cause glitchs, but none are in this report. The restrooms/showers were very clean. The landscape people were always at work keeping the park very clean. There is airplane noise, but its almost all gone evening to morning. Close travel to Portland or Vancouver. Quiet and peaceful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 16 nights, the park is very clean and well kept. We did read some of the past reviews and found that there were no current problems. The sites are larger with concrete pads and grass to enjoy. There is a lack of area for recreation as far as kids go. The laundry facilities are very large and reasonable. We have family across the river, but visited all the other campgrounds in the area and found this one to be the best. Very close to everything. The airplanes do make some noise at times, especially when the fighters take off, but none of this is heard during the nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is very clean. The park is located near the Portland Airport and airplane noise is a problem at times. The Laundry Room is clean and fairly modern, but a little small for a park this size and is very busy on nights and weekends since the park is mainly working people (not recreational). Park does charge a non-refundable credit check fee for Monthly residents. Main road to the park runs along the Columbia River and is very, very busy making it difficult to get out of the park at times. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here a couple of years ago & returned because we like it - size, location, amenities. I read the review re: thefts & asked the office about it - the mgr says there was one incident some time back where multiple campers had stuff stolen the same night, it wasn't many separate occasions. I'm not sure what kind of security might have prevented any of this. It's not a bad neighborhood; there is only one way in & out. We'll stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I want to warn others that consider staying at the Columbia River RV Park to be aware that this park has had a large number of thefts over the last few years. There is no gate to protect those staying at the park from anyone entering the park at anytime. They have no form of security on at anytime. The thefts have continued to increase over time. My wife had her APRO electric scooter (valued at $700.00) stolen from our site. The scooter was chained to our motor home with a 3/8 inch chain and locked. When I reported it to the Portland police they informed me that this was the sixth theft report from campers at the park. Everyone staying here needs to understand that the management has no concern for protecting the resident from this kind of activity. The management at this park has stated that he will not accept responsibility for any thing stolen from the resident. So be prepared for the worst or stay somewhere else until the management accepts the fact that he has a responsibility to provide security for the campers at his park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

When I checked into the park I had to pay $35 for a credit check even though I was paying cash in advance for the month. I was stupid to agree but my wife was tired and we didn’t want to drive to Vancouver where they have a nice RV park that is well run. About two months later I was the victim of an identity theft crime. I thought it was suspicious but what could I prove. Recently I met another motorhome owner who had exactly the same experience after allowing these people access to their credit report. Do not stay at this park. To top it off I found out when your credit is checked your credit rating goes down. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an extremely wellkept RV park. The restrooms were immaculate (cleaned twice a day). The lady in the office was cheerful and quite helpful. The meeting room contains a listing and directions for nearby supermarkets, Walmarts, etc. It is located approx. 10 minutes from downtown Portland. We are already planning to return for another week next month. One of the cleanest parks we've ever stayed in. Even though it is close to Portland International Airport the noise from the planes was minimal. I would recommend this park for anyone wanting to spend some time in Portland. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed a couple of days and liked the park. No trees to block our satellites. No problems with the office. Nice level concrete and grass sites large enough for big rigs. The laundry room was clean and large. We are used to airport noise - we've stayed under a few of them. It was easy to get downtown for sightseeing, and we went just up the river to a great restaurant for dinner on the deck. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Customer service at this park is non-existant. I spent 6 months at this park while on a job assignment in the area. First you are required to pay an electric deposit and fill out a form so that a credit/criminal check could be run. Fine, nothing wrong so far. However, when I went to leave, any record of my deposit suddenly disappeared. This organization charges for everything and there is no way something like a deposit would get by them. So I'm SOL there. Next I asked for the return of my credit report (the company expects to keep them for a period of 2 years) or at least for someone to shred it as I would not be returning. I was told that this was "none of my business." In this day and age of identity theft I found this to be wholly irresponsible especially considering that the manager shares with her staff the contents of said reports (the juicier the better) and leaves them in an unlocked drawer. Their only concern here is to get your money & write new rules. If you like customer service...don't stay here, because the customer is never right. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very noisy park with little to no privacy. Being so close to Portland Airport there are commercial planes flying over from 6 am to midnight, including fighter jets that will knock you out of your seat. Plus there are new homes going up at the south end of park. There is only a chain link fence separating the park from the new development where construction workers can watch you enjoy your BBQ. We didn't enjoy our stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We actually stayed here for 5 months while working in the area and have a different perspective than someone staying the weekend. The campground is nice for an overnighter. Here are some issues to consider: there is no refund, no way, no how, even in medical emergencies. If you overpaid for anything, you won't be told. And you will be nickel and dimed for everything. There is no working phone booth (you will be told to walk 1/2 mile to the corner store), no store, the restrooms were frequently dirty and there are no accomodations for children. Plus, the hours for the rec room and laundry room seem to change weekly and the single modem hookup is in the rec/workout room. During a recent ice storm, the management did NOTHING to help clear sites, clear walkways, or thaw park pipes. Campers were slipping and falling all over the park. It was a disgrace. We will never come back here and suggest if you do stay, make it a short stay in good weather. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice park but was under new management when we visited and employees seemed confused. Modem hours are limited and modem is in weight room. Overall, however, a good place to stay. Would recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice Campground...it is part of a larger manufactured home park...but they are very nice and very well kept. The RV Park is separate from the rest of the mobile home park. The rate is per night for a week...we paid $169 for the week. I would certainly stay here again. The only negative is the air traffic...this park is relatively close to the airport. You do hear the airplanes taking off and landing, but I would not let that stop me from staying again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate reflects weekly rate. We have enjoyed staying at this park for 10 of the past 12 years during the Portland Rose Festival in May and June. It is located on Hayden Island in the Columbia River. The grounds are attractive and well cared for. There is aircraft noise during the day and railroad noise some nights. A short walk across the street is Jantzen Beach Super Center with some 30 stores currently open. Safeway is a short drive away on the island. A paved river front trail in the adjoining Mobile Home Park gives spectacular views of Mount Hood, Mount Saint Helens and Columbia River shipping traffic. Downtown Portland is an 8 mile, rarely more than 15 minute drive, even in rush hour traffic on I-5. It is this ease of access to Portland and Vancouver locations which set this RV Park apart from other RV Parks. Yes, I-5 traffic is occassionally stopped by Columbia River Bridge lifts for barge traffic, but delays are short and part of normal life in Portland. There are perhaps 5 to 7 major restaurants on the island and for a special dining experience one can try the quaint floating Island Cafe on the eastern end of the island. All in all, it is a delightful location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Staff was not rude,but not very nice. The groundskeeper was friendly. Most of the stores in the mall across the street are closed,except for Target,Barnes and Noble, and a Starbucks.Very noisy and not very well secured around the perimeter. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I heard everyone about the noise in this park, but no one mentioned the taste of the water. It seemed quite odd to me. They need a filter system. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Jantzen Beach RV Park could be a great place to stay. The park is very well-maintained, neat, and easy to navigate, and though the staff isn't exceptionally friendly, they weren't particularly rude. They have a very reasonable weekly rate which we paid right away. We quickly regretted that decision for these reasons. The first is the incredible amount of noise here. You are nestled right between the train tracks and an air force base, so you get train horns all night and fighter jets flying over in the afternoon, impossible to ignore. Second, this park is on an island, and the only way to get there is on I-5, which is also the only way to get across the river to Washington. If you travel during rush hour, you will be trapped with all the commuters; no way to avoid it. At one point I was in park for 15 minutes 1 mile before the exit. Third, there is no beach at Jantzen Beach, not anymore. It is a huge mall space with Best Buy, Michaels, etc. Many of the sites (including ours) back up to the road behind the mall, with no fence separating the two. This led to a feeling of insecurity and additional noise from car traffic. If you plan to stay here and get a good night's sleep, make sure to pick up some earplugs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There are minimal shade trees present in this facility. The swimming area is fairly nice. The deck facilities are minimal (no tables, no umbrellas, except for the life guards). They also have no ice vending machine available. The office staff seem to show a lack of concern for any of the requests/needs of their RV customers. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

The campground brochure did not mention anything nor did the map reveal anything regarding the proximity of the near by trains, airplanes, boat and highway noise that besets this other than that, seemly nicely maintained park. I was however alarmed by the approach late one evening, after 11:00PM, in our site by a disheveled and seeming drunk or high individual who identified himself only as Cowboy and asked for money and cigarettes or our Coach. I hoped he thought a joke. I do not know if there is any or if there is adequate security patrols or cameras provided by the park for their clients safety. In my web search for an RV Park nearest to Portland's City Center there were not many available and this one seemed to be the nicest and closest. There is a near by public bus service which will take you to the nearest Max Station which has a park and ride and a shopping mall is quite near by. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Management at front desk was volunteerism at best. Firstly, they were uncooperative over which space to use, when many were empty. All the best ones from the website photos had been given to long termers. No effort was made to ease my parking. Spaces are paved but there is no where to walk on the space when it rains except on the grass. Spaces are tight 90 degree turns, pads are narrow. My 36' fifth wheel left no where to park my tow vehicle as spaces are short. No pet area, which means everywhere is a pet area, even my space. The trash dumpster was located at the end of my pad, ugh, when it could have been positioned at a clear paved spot 35ft away. 90% of park is leased by long termers or mobile homes. There are no extra parking spots in the park without a permit. Lack of instructions on internet access codes, plus registration of personal information, and low metered limitations. By the way, the internet access code expires without warning. My two office visits were mildly disagreeable, positioning me as the problem. Hey, I'm just a guest trying to get service or answers! My conclusion was that RV'ers, who weren't long-termers, weren't worth the trouble. It is very noisy, all day Portland District airport takeoffs overhead, boat horns north and south directions, nearby trains, and adjacent divided roadway traffic. Now for the better, there is lots of grass and a good number of trees, all spaces 50 amp. There are two swimming pools. It is next door to a mall and restaurants, and convenient to Portland and Vancouver. We paid and stayed for a week. We do not intend to stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Clean park, narrow sites, fair access for 40' MH. Convenient for the Portland/Vancouver area. But very noisy with airplanes, trains and boats. Second choice when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great RV resort. We were visiting family in Vancouver, Wa & this park was convenient. The grounds were very well kept. The bathroom & restrooms were clean. The laundry room was being redone & understandably a little messy but they had nice washer & dryers. We liked staying at this park & plan on staying the next time we are in the area. There is also a large mall next door & lots of restaurants within walking distance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Pulled in late, couldn't find anything to register with, or site map. No info on wi-fi, so all I could find was a secure network. Nice level spot with a train in the background. Within walking distance to a lot of shops. Very well kept park. My daughter liked the playground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice big park, easy to navigate, and feels somewhat private since it has established landscaping. The staff was friendly. The only items that made me rate it lower was the slow internet, and the close proximity to the flight path to the airport. There is also a mobile home park on the site, but they seem to be well kept and not an issue. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great location, Close to highway, well maintained, only issue is it is located on the air-port flight path. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A great park to stay in if visiting Portland, and if not it's right next to the river and lots of shops! Very friendly staff, nice side-by-side sites, clean bathrooms and reasonably priced. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Huge park with flat, asphalt sites, bordered by small patches of lush green grass. Extra water spigot came in handy for watering dog bowls. We stayed there 5 days. Great proximity to Portland across the bridge, via I-5., though northbound rush hour traffic can be a bear. Laundry room clean and well lit all in working order. Staff very knowledgeable about local places of interest including printed material and advice. Didn't find the plane noise to be a problem as in previous posts. It decreased significantly at night. Earplugs worked for me. We will stay here again on our next visit to Portland. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fairly roomy sites for a in city park. Nicely grassed areas, many trees, lots of shade. This is a plus and minus, depending on whether you use a satellite dish. Many sites block access, and the park cable system is only the basic networks, so keep that in mind when reserving. Excellent Monthly and weekly rates too. We have camped here the last 2 summers, and love this park. Nice pools, friendly staff (though once parked, they don't like to move you to another site). Exceptionally clean and well run. Many very large sites for big rigs. Other pluses are shopping center across the street, EZ I-5 access, close to downtown Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR. Only minuses are plane and train noise, and when there is an event at the auto racing track nearby, it can be noisy. If you are here on the 4th of July, it is an awesome place to view the fireworks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Across street from large shopping center. Park is clean and well kept. Lots of children in playground during the day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are looking for a place to stay that is on a commercial island surrounded by boats, trains and autos that sound their horns all night long then this is the place for you. If you want to be in the flight path of the airport then stay here. If you want to be camped in a parking lot next to a busy road and a shopping mall then go right ahead and book. If you want be parked in a spot that is not big enough for your trailer and auto even though you stressed the sizes of the vehicles and then get put back to back with another camper then this is where you want to stay. We were supposed to stay five nights but stuck it out for just one. We ended up parked in the drive of our friends home - much quieter. Oh, and if you want to be a part of a mobile home park then you've got it...this is the place to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Some of the previous visitors commented on "some urban noise." That is like saying the Titanic took on "some water." There are airliners taking off constantly overhead. There are trains. There are train bridge horns blowing all the time. The place could wake the dead. By the way, they have a "no refund" policy to keep complainers from leaving after the second or third 747 swoops overhead. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an urban setting, across the street from a shopping mall, with a mobile home park on the other side. If you have the expectation that this is not camping at the beach or in a forest, then this is a very nice place to stay. This site makes a good home base for exploration in the Portland area. As it is urban, there are nighttime noises and nearby traffic. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here twice. They have three pools, but we're not sure why they don't make one of them adults only. Nice sites and near everything. There is a huge mega mall across the street, downtown Vancouver, Washington is a short walk across the bridge, bus routes to Portland at the mall and a bike path all the way into Portland or Vancouver. The only reason this place doesn't get a 10 is the constant noise from everything....constant boat horns, long lasting and blaring train whistles day and night, airport and military jets right overhead. As soon as there is a moment of quiet, the lawn mower crew comes through (early in the morning). They mow constantly here. The maintenance shed is right by the pool and many of the sites...a lot noise coming from inside too. The sprinklers come on in the middle of the night and shower the outside of the RV and spray up into the trees. If you want peace and quiet, not a good bet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park's primary asset is the location -- on the Washington/Oregon border with easy access to both Portland,OR and Vancouver,WA. As noted by other reviewers, there are a lot of long-term RVers here, however we found the park to be clean and well maintained and experienced no problems with any of the other "residents". We were, however, frustrated with management. We inadvertently parked in the wrong spot (we should have been just next door), but didn't notice or realize it until we were ready for bed. When we notified the office staff the next morning, we were told we'd have to move as the park was scheduled to be full that night. We did so, only to have the spot we had accidentally occupied remain vacant the rest of our stay. The park never exceeded 50% occupancy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground shares a neighborhood with a trailer park and had lots of long termers. The bathrooms were not as clean or nice as advertised and we had to carry a pass to use the pool - which was inconvenient. We had a spot over a sewer lid and could smell the evidence each morning. We also had the dumpster on our site, so we had vagrants rummaging through the dumpster for cans, etc. while we ate dinner with our three small kids. My husband was also approached for money by another man while walking in the area. We never did see any security that was advertised - only a phone number to call. The so-called hiking trail was not convenient or easy to find and the office help was cool at best and rude at worst. I wouldn't stay there again if it was offered to me free! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The campground is located in the city-there is a mall across the street with restaurants available. The park staff was friendly & helpful. There were a lot of permanent & long term residents. Park appeared cluttered as some sites were packed with vehicles & trailers. The voltage only measured 105/106 volts-far short of the 120 volts. An automatic sprinkler came on at 2:00 am and sprayed against the coach for ten minutes-I slept through being in the flight pattern & sirens, but not that sprinkler! All roads & sites were blacktop. Sites were adequate in size to accommodated any number of slides and any size motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.
