You definitely need a capable car because some uphill parts are rough and slippery (almost lost traction). The hike down is a bit steep and slippery but there are ropes to help. Tip: Bring gloves! After reaching the bottom, just follow the stream to the beautiful waterfall. We had a picnic there and it was so chill. There are no trash cans here,please take your trash with you. I felt like being at a childhood summer camp with the hiking and climbing. The water was too cold to swim this time, but I'll definitely be back during the summer!

I've been staying at Phoenix RV Park for years. It was always the park of choice when I came to…read moreSalem to visit my children and grandchildren. Then I retired and in September of 2024, I made it my full-time home base. Over the past summer, I traveled more than 12,000 miles, visiting 53 RV parks along the way. I can honestly say that Phoenix RV Park is the best park I stayed in all summer. The streets are paved, and the sites are concrete. There is a patch of green grass between the sites along with trees, shrubbery, and foliage. Although I was gone at the time, I understand there was a problem with the irrigation system this past summer. However, when I returned in October, the grass at my site was still green, and it was obvious, from the work I could see going on, that the park was putting a significant amount of money into getting the system upgraded and repaired. The grounds are well maintained. Phoenix RV Park has cleanest laundry facilities I used all summer, including many public laundromats. In addition, there are three small dog parks, restrooms with showers, a workout/meeting room, a small store with RV essentials, a huge DVD library and even a gathering room with a full kitchen that is available with prior arrangements. You can tell that a great deal of effort is put into providing a welcoming environment for the residents. I understand that there may be plans in the works to make it even more "homey" for those of us who call it home. Melanie (the manager) and Rob (all around maintenance guy) run the park well. Melanie has always been friendly, helpful, and cooperative, and has gone out of her way to provide me with reasonable requests. From the research I did, Phoenix RV Park is, at the very least, competitively priced, and is lower than many other RV Parks in the northern Willamette Valley. I've made some meaningful friendships in the time I've been here. Overall, I'd recommend Phoenix RV Park all day long. It's a place to put down some of your roots and stay a while.

It has taken me awhile to write this review but it is an odd one. My husband and I chose this place…read morefrom its stellar reviews and the wonderful images online. We were looking for something long term, and when I called we lucked out and they had a space. Now let's get into the details. I explained the size of our trailer and truck, they said we would fit. We got to the park and we were pleasantly surprised in the beginning because it was pretty, a pretty parking lot but pretty. Our site was back in, and we barely fit. They "oversaw" our parking, kept telling us we could move over (if we moved over more our slide out would have been in their bushes). The man who was overseeing our parking also insisted that I was not leveling our trailer properly and that their cement slabs were perfectly even, ours was not. They didn't want us to back up closer to the fence so there was room for movement, but other trailers were. The space next to our trailer consisted of a parking space, which with our trailer and our truck, we had barely room to walk in between the two, so no space. Then there was the grass, oh the grass. Each sight has strip of grass, which they do NOT want you to walk on, or your dogs to walk on, or anything. Now, I refer you back our truck barely fit in the space, so of course we had to walk on the grass to get into the truck, and we receive admonishing emails for it. Any open grass was also not for dogs. They had mini dog spaces at the end of the park, covered in wood chips, our dogs seemed oddly nervous to go in there, and due to the dog virus going around this time, we had to drive our dogs out of the park to potty them. There were a few gunshots while were there for the 30 days, we heard them, however, they do have security that drives around the park at night so that was nice. They are backed up against a Safeway, and if you have those spaces they reverberate all night as the trucks come in. They have other pull through spaces supposedly for temporary and one night guests, but there were long term guests there as well. Ultimately, this park is stellar if you want a pretty , well manicured park, that you do not want to meet your neighbors, have an outside environment and you have small dogs. If you want a neighborhood feel, with space for your dogs, and space for you, I would steer clear. Laundry room was stellar. Water pressure was mediocre.

This is a nice little park and I do mean little…read more Had a picnic lunch here. Nice, pleasant, serene views. Close to town but still out of the way. It's mostly used as a boat launch and there is an RV park adjacent. I like it better than the county park just a bit further down the road. No shade to speak of so if it's a hot sunny day out you may find it uncomfortable.

The Riverfront Park includes the playground and just grassy area (which is nice for all the folks we saw picnicking), and the carousel, plus food trucks congregate in the amphitheater area sometimes. The day we were there there were three of them and plenty of space for a couple more. Nice option to go grab a snack. There were a few picnic tables and we were able to claim one of them. The bathrooms were pretty gross. There was no soap or anything in them and one was in yucky shape. That led us to the port-a-potty, which was pretty gross but a little less gross than the permanent toilets. There's a large parking lot here since they must have lots of various activities taking place here. I'm glad we visited here (at a friend's recommendation) and got to enjoy this (mostly) well-kept park.

I also love all the flowers up on the hill on the south side. On the northeast side there are SO many little rodents running around. They're fun to watch, but don't feed them, you're not supposed to, and clearly they're doing just fine on their own! There's a creek where you can sit and relax, or even put your chair right in the water on a hot day. There's a tree swing, beautiful old trees everywhere, and always something to explore. I also love stopping into the art barn. It's free and filled with local art, and I try to go through every time they change the exhibit. There are tons of events held here throughout the year, and the park is almost always full of people walking, playing, picnicking, or just enjoying the day. It's one of those places I never really get tired of. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Salem.

Excerpt from Opal creek.org Mileage: 1.8 miles out-and-back Elevation change: 200 feet Bikes allowed: No The Henline Falls trailhead is on the north side of Forest Service Road 2209, about a quarter mile past the junction for Three Pools. This short, easy hike through a classic second-growth forest ends in a spectacular 125-foot waterfall and crystal-clear plunge pool that is shallow enough for wading in the summer. A road track and the unmarked Ogle Mountain trail both head off to the right; keep to the left to reach the falls. To the right of the falls, the Silver King Mine adit is now covered by a bat gate. The shaft continues 1,700 feet into the bedrock. The concrete foundation obstructing the trail at the falls once held the mine's flume-powered generator.
