Pleasant surprise as this campground was located in the pine hills about 30 miles west of Portland well away from the heavy traffic. Arrived about 4:00 PM, which is when the park states is their check in time. The Welcome Center and registration was down the hill as we came into the main park area. Since we were not sure we could comfortably get in as the road to the center looked tight (however it would have been fine for our 39' fifth wheel), we headed to our site in Dairy Creek East. Site 90 was an easy back in FHU site. We were very pleased how the site sat back into a large gravel and grass area. There was nice shade in the afternoon and a large picnic table. The fire pit was large and had a grill built into it, but to bbq in this pit it would take several large sacks of charcoal so we just used it for fire. There was no cable or internet here and we got two fuzzy channels on our OTA antenna. Other campers around us had satellite and the sites on the west/ more open side seemed to have a good shot of the southern sky. We do not have a satellite and since we're not big TV watchers anyway, this didn't affect our ratings. We would definitely camp here again if in the Portland area. - MK_Willi

This park is wonderful, with spacious sites, fire rings and large picnic tables. We stayed for 14 days, the maximum allowed at one time. There are numerous hiking and biking trails, as well as many many things to do in the area. Halfway between Portland and the coast, up in the foothills of the coastal range. We love this park, except the weekends are very very crowded with people and bicycles. - Juli and Scott

Large gravel site being about 50'x50' (or so) with lots of space between sites. Blacktop loop road and short blacktop stub leading to each gravel site. Well maintained. Sites were not level but with a casual glance at other sites nothing appeared to be extreme. Our site was on the east loop and we were out in the open. Water, 50A hookups were near the rear and sewer was about center of the site. Water pressure was good and tasted OK. We arrived late morning but since there was no one in our site we were able to setup. Verizon voice/data was average. Had plenty of room for our 38' MH and towed. Lots of hiking trails and the Banks Vernonia Trail (a rails to trails trail) goes through the park. - Ramblin On

It is difficult for us to give a fair rating, as we stayed there during the annual Jamboree and Logging Festival. We were looking for a place to stay for the weekend, and the campground hosts kindly provided us with a space to boondock. This is a small city park, with regular space for RV's, which in our case had already been filled. This is a pleasant campground in a small town up in the Coastal Range. It is an OK place for a weekend and would likely be a good place to stay during the week, when there is less activity about. - hoppytoad

Small, quiet city campground. Located right along the Nehalem River. Price quoted was for W/E, $22 for full hookups, has a dump station. Some long term residents, but they were not a problem. Can choose sun or shade. No cable TV and no over the air TV. Lots of hiking opportunities. Makes for a very peaceful stay. - frmOregon

Sites were only $16 for electric only, $22 for full hook up. Location is great. It's in a big park, family friendly. The park was quiet and the park has big douglas firs and the geography is beautiful. Quick walk to Vernonia downtown, restaurants, etc. - SethL

This is a primitive mostly tent camping park is nicely sized at 7 acres. There is a couple of spots for small RV's, There is a pit toilet and water via hand pump. The spots are secluded and private. This campground is sometimes known for rowdy party's on the weekends because of it's lack of camp host and sheriff patrols, however it is pretty much unknown to most, so you will likely be the only one there on weekdays. There is no firewood for sale and no cell service in the area. - josh970506

Beautiful little campground. Close to the river. Quiet (except for the occasional log truck on the nearby highway) friendly host. Great place. I'll go back and recommend to others. - The Jake

Beautiful tall evergreen trees were everywhere, there’s a large open grassy area for games and play, a pet area, and a playground set for smaller kids. We were in space 4 with a close view of the river. There’s rafting and canoeing for those who bring their boats, and lots of fire rings and tables. The park was almost empty on the Monday that we got here, and only about 1/4 full on Thursday when we left. They seem to be full mostly on weekends. The camp hosts were a typical older couple that you would find as camp hosts at any park, nothing strange. There were some really long motorhomes here and they didn’t seem to have any problem. Ours is a B+ that is 23 ft long and fit perfectly along with our HHR. The town of Vernonia is nearby, but not walking distance. There is a market there, hardware store, bars, and not a whole lot else. We are definitely coming back here soon. - ShariPDX

Named after a large eddy in the Nehalem River, this scenic park has large fir trees, open grassy play areas, fishing, canoeing and a boat launch. Most of the sites have new electrical, water and sewer hookups due to the 2007 winter floods. We stayed in site #1 which overlooks the river on one side and the open grassy field on the other. All the sites have a fire ring. The camp hosts are a little strange but very friendly. There is really nice dry seasoned wood for sale as well. There is not a huge amount of privacy between sites, but they are mostly level. This is a great park to bring the kids and dogs to as their is lots to to do for them. - josh970506

Park is in disrepair, can't use picnic tables, grounds are full of mole holes, rats (we saw two) the size of small dogs with tails a foot long next to bathrooms. It is necessary to rake and clean camp sites before use. So called "Park Hosts" are extremely rude, and were harassing to our family and others we spoke with who were RV campers. In my opinion the park should be closed and there should be customer service classes given to "hosts". Park hosts tried to overcharge us, until we challenged them and requested a written document citing park rules and prices. - Appalled2

This is the smallest RV park I've ever stayed in. Only 6 sites. Next to an airport where many small aircraft take off and land during the day. Interesting to watch them come and go. Park has brand new hookups. Bathrooms also in excellent shape - looked like a recent remodel. The summer camp host very friendly and accommodating. Playground for the kids and huge trees to give shade, so comfortable in just about any heat. During the day there is a fair amount of truck traffic on the road next to the campground. Very quiet at night. Llama farm next door emits a barn odor when the wind is right. Very nice campground. Would stay again. - vtofa

Only 6 sites, and they list short lengths, but we parked our 40' motorhome with no problem in a longer site. Half of the sites have water, sewer, electric on the wrong side. Nice park with tall trees, lots of shade, grass, and a playground. No cable but excellent TV reception. There are planes taking off during the day but it is quiet at night. Rate is with Senior discount. - P & C

We also had a good stay at this park. The only thing I would say differently is that there is some road noise (we were parked next to the road instead of being deeper in the park). But, I'd stay here again. - LFClary

Our site was pre-assigned when we registered and we found the reservation sign posted on the site when we arrived. It is a nice small park with mostly paved sites and all appeared to be level. We had plenty of room for the motorhome and toad and there was a picnic table and fire ring. All of the sites have enough space that you could put awnings out even with slide-outs. It was near a road, but the road noise was never a problem. Very convenient to Portland, St Helens and the area around them and easy access to highway 30. Check in is at the port office which is by the boat ramp. We did not see a dump station. We will plan on staying there again. - Don Steward

The only thing which has changed since my last report in 2012 is they had a 50% price increase to $30. The "value" is just not there at the $30 rate. Having said that, if you have reason to be in Hillsboro your other choices entail 35-45 minute drive one way to get here. They don't allow non-event RV parking in July & August because of the number of fairground events scheduled. If you plan on staying, call 503-648-1416, Ext. 200 to be sure they will allow non-event RV parking. - A-S_Travels
Aug 2012 - $20.00
As noted before, this is a gravel parking lot, but there are no other RV Parks within 20 miles of Hillsboro. If you have a reason to stay in Hillsboro, this is your best option. Note: if there are fairground events scheduled needing the RV sites you will not be allowed to stay. Call to check availability before arriving. There is 20amp ONLY available and the elect outlets are pretty well beat up. The electric contacts may not make good contact with your elect cord. Don't try to run your A/C. Water is available at each parking site, but no dump station available. No picnic tables. If there are RV's in the sites next to you, you may not be able to open an awning as well as your slides. I am not trying to be negative, just stating the facts so people know what to expect. We stayed here in an motorhome, and will stay here again as we have family in Hillsboro. - A-S_Travels

This is basically a flat spot at the fairgrounds on which to park your RV. The sites have 20 amp electrical and water - nothing else. There are no restrooms, showers, dump stations or any other facilities. Some of the sites are shaded by trees. Not withstanding these shortcomings the site is perfect if visiting friends in Hillsboro, Oregon and you need a convenient place to camp. The site is directly across the street from the Hillsboro airport. Not withstanding the location, it was surprisingly quiet. Fair staff is friendly and considerate. I would stay there again if in Hillsboro. On Google Earth you can find the RV park at latitude 45°31'52.35"N and longitude 122°56'58.99"W. - Gerry Brentnall

One of the few long stay parks in the area that still has some sites for under $500 a month. Most of the spaces are on gravel, except some of the back loop spaces are on concrete pads, all roads are gravel. Few permanent residents, but most are there for work on the Intel Campuses in Hillsboro are not permanent. Front Spaces rates breakdown at: Monthly: $375 Weekly: $140 Daily: $45 Back Spaces rates breakdown at: Monthly: $425 Weekly: $160 Daily: $50 Front spaces are mostly 30amp service, with a few spots that have 30 and 50 amp. Back spaces all have 50 amp service. Electricity is metered on monthly stays. There is no Wifi, Verizon Wireless is the best option for internet in the area, other Wireless carriers signals are weak. TV is by antenna, or your own satellite system. - The Redneck Express

If you're looking for a long term stay RV Park, Island Cove is one of the few you'll find for under $500 a month in the Portland area that have monthly rates available (Multnomah County actually has a law not allowing extended stays at RV Parks). The closer together front side-sites are 30 amp and $350 a month, the back, more spaced out sites with the concrete pads and 50 amp service, "Premium" as the previous reviewer called them, are $400 a month. The park does have Wi-Fi, however, the speed can be hit and miss as its satellite based (No wired High Speed is available past the County Line). - The Redneck Express
Jun 2010 - $30.00
We did not stay here. We didn't have reservations, called and spoke to on-site manager who was very helpful and had a couple of open sites. We pulled in and were somewhat put off. Appears mostly long term residents, some sites were junky and on lawn area. The premium sites were cleaner with newer units on concrete pads but none available when we needed to stay. We were not willing to stay in the lower cost area, it is not our style of camping. Cash only at this park if you intend to stay: we were quoted $30/night. - KitandDH

Interesting place. The riverfront sites are tight, full hook up with 30 amp electric. Our site 20 was next to site 56 ?? And the hookups are on a shared pedestal. Our neighbors connectors were on the opposite side of their rig and they inaverantly hooked up to ours. Easy fix and we got to know our neighbors quickly! The site was level, dirt surface and easy to maneuver into. (You pull in forward and back out). There is no WiFi here. The check in was quick, check or cash only. The store seems to be well stocked with items you need in a pinch along with some of their local fruit and veggies. (About half the price of a store). Check what's in season when you camp there. The access is via the only bridge to the island and about 6 more miles on a paved but winding road. Watch out for bikers, they share the road. The interior road is tight by the barns but open up by the sites. It was fun to watch the ships and tugs on the river going by. - DJR CMR

We stayed 3 nights midweek in our 40' motorhome. Our site was right on the river. We had a very enjoyable time and had to say that it was the quietest campground that we have ever stayed. It is 30amp electrical water and some sites sewer. Most of the campground was long term residents but that was no problem. The bathroom was on the rustic side but kept clean. There was a shower in each of the bathrooms. There was no wifi but the Verizon signal was good. - Oregonhikers

This is a member only Elks Lodge. A restaurant/grill/bar is available inside of lodge. A large community room is provided for lodge functions. A ribeye dinner is served every first Friday and Saturday of the month for lodge members and their guests. It is highly recommended to make a reservation. The pads are all back in, concrete, with a power pole at end of each pad. Water is shared between two camp sites with a Y-connector already provided. A dump site is available within a 3 mile radius for a $5.00 fee. Sites are off to the west side of the parking lot and can accommodate a 45' RV/trailer. The sites are close but not intrusive with gravel patios. I couldn't fully deploy my patio awning. There is room in the paved parking lot for trailers. There is a camp host that will greet you upon arrival and complete the registration process. Fees can be paid in check/cash or credit card. A nice park is located behind the lodge. There are nice bike paths available through the adjoining subdivision to gain access to the park. The lodge is close to shopping and other amenities. The lodge is about 25 minutes west of Portland. The beaches are about an hour west. I would certainly return to this lodge when camping in the Portland area. Must be an Elks member to camp here. - kihei7
