This is a little late (I was here in the summer 2023 & 2025) but want to make sure I get a review in. I will stay here when rooms are booked at McMenamins and since I have a trailer, why not. I personally like this place. It's clean, it's quiet, and the people are so kind (employees and residents). I love watching the people walking by with their dogs. I feel like it's a doggy parade. I do appreciate that everyone follows the leash rule and keeps their doggies on leash when walking them. It just makes it safe for other dogs. We have stayed on the creek side only but I may venture to the river side next time. One the creek side it is quiet. I know the river side is closer to the I-84 so I am curious how much louder it will be. I guess I may find out this summer. I definitely recommend staying here when you have something going on at Edgefield or honestly, just stay here just because it's a great place. read more

Nice place to stay. Especially for long term. Located within easy walking distance to downtown Troutdale woth many shops and resturants. My only complants would be regarding a bug infestation at our campsite that the management refused to address. read more

Great experience staff are wonderful and location is not far from the highway and the river is beautiful tonwalk along the sounds of birds and water was a pure delight... Would % recommend read more

Love this spot! It was amazing to stay here! Very quiet and clean! Will definitely stay here if we come back to Oregon! read more

Worst park ever. It smells like raw sewage. They they have wireless Internet and it does say cable. Neither worked. I have a service dog, I have lupus and multiple autoimmune illnesses including dysautonomia, and they are kicking us out of the park because of my service dog. They just violated federal law. Welcome to a lawsuit. The anxiety exacerbated my condition and I fainted. My heart rate elevated to over 145. A nice neighbor came to assist me. read more

Assuming you meet the clearly stated requirements regarding vehicle/pets etc. you will likely love this RV park. I made my reservation over the phone. They use a reservation app that charges $3.50 for that; it should mail you a reservation and instructions. We drove in with our little RPoc 20' trailer; Steven and Charmagne greeted us warmly, had our paperwork ready, asked about wi-fi access (how many do devices needing access), and sent us on our way. Each spot has water, electrical (50, 30 and 20 amp breaker service) and black/grey water discharge. Lovely spot on the Sandy River; nice park across the street with extensive fishing access; the famous SugarPine drive in, and pretty river views. And nearby historic Troutdale is fantastic. It looks like many spots here are permanent guests; so make your reservation well in advance! We'll come back! read more

This is a great campground. Good location. Nice sites. Very close to the Sandy River where you can swim and play on your float toys. It's a quiet park with quite a few residents living there. We will definitely stay here again. read more

I can't say enough about this RV resort! It's in a beautiful location next to water, it's well maintained with ample space between RVs. Also close to the cute historic downtown of Troutsdale! Steven in the office went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed. Highly, highly recommend this spot if traveling through Oregon! read more

Beautiful RV Park surrounded by Sandy River and Beaver Creek. Sites are a bit close to each other, and the management is strict regarding their rules (thankfully). Wifi was good most of the time. We stayed during a beautiful few days in June and was placed in a shady spot. Prices are a bit high, use your discounts! We had great neighbors (again...tight spaces) on either side of us. We all had well behaved dogs. Located across from a beautiful river front park (no dogs allowed) and just a couple blocks from historic downtown Troutdale, and a few more blocks from the outlet mall. Adjacent to the Historic Columbia River Highway. LOTS of long timers. Some noisy dogs in the park. Near a train track. We enjoyed our stay and will stay again. read more

Sandy Riverfront RV Resort is a classicist (not classic) parking lot run but Oregon's own Kampground Karen. After we checked in after hours, we drove up to our site and set up. Karen (I don't know what her name actually is) then rolled up on her golf cart to inform us that "this is a private campground. You must have sewer, water, and electrical hookups to stay here." No "hi, how are you?" Just an accusatory "you must be too poor to stay here". After informing Karen that we did, in fact, have the required hookups she immediately tried to find another reason to not let us stay- you aren't allowed to sleep in your car here! We have a strict rule about that. Let me back up and tell you that we are traveling in a 2018 Ram Promaster converted by Roadtrek (Karen looked very confused about the fact that this quality piece of machinery could possibly have hookups) and a 2009 Honda Element that I sleep in on trips. Despite Karen's insistence that we not sleep in the bed we've traveled all over the country in, I went ahead and did it anyway because come on lady- it doesn't hurt anybody that I have an awesome conversion in the back of my car. We were otherwise quiet and respectful of the area, but felt incredibly unwelcome and on edge the entire time. None of these rules are written down. Karen just decides to make them up if you look poor. We probably won't be returning to this expensive parking lot when there are so many other better places in the area. The only positive things I can say about this place is that it had good access to restaurants and the lake. Otherwise, having a lady on a golf cart constantly check on what we were doing under the guise of "security" was creepy and un-inviting. I really wish this was a better place because we would have visited more often as we travel through the area frequently. read more

Sandy Riverfront Rv Resort - Our "too poor for this lot" set up. - RV Parks Near Me - Troutdale, Oregon

Very clean and well kept. Excellent location for exploring Portland and surrounding parks. Walking distance to downtown Troutdale and its businesses. Ignore reviews by some people about rudeness-- the park has reasonable rules to keep it nice and you are expected to follow them. Staff was very polite on checkin and held Amazon packages for me. I'll definitely stay here my next time in Portland. read more

Location is everything and Sandy Riverfront RV Resort certainly checks a lot of boxes! As you can see from the photos the views here are fantastic! The manager here is darling as is the resident Bulldog mascot. There are friendly folks all around this park. The park sits relatively close to train tracks but we like to hear the sounds of the trains. We would recommend Sandy Riverfront RV Park and we will return. Our only regret was that there was no availability for a longer stay. Happy New Year! read more

We have stayed at this park multiple times. It is well-maintained and everyone has been helpful. I decided to write a review because I glanced at one or two that referred to the manager of this park who, by the way has been the manager for years as a Karen. I would like to call her Caring. She has helped us more times than I can. Remember, she may appear stern, but to know her is to love her. Yes the park seems much like in HOA but that's what we love about it. It is well-maintained. There are no questionable tenants. We pick this every time. If you plan ahead, you can back right up to the river. We have seen variety birds, and even a beaver in the stream behind us. read more

Very disappointed in the new restriction just this year (2024) that does not allow any RV older than 10 years to rent a site. I can understand being careful about the condition of an RV (especially in view of the Portland homeless situation) but we have been welcomed there several times in the last few years, and I even sent new photos of our 5th wheel. Is that the result we can expect for trying to maintain our RV and keep it in "like new" condition?? read more

Great time hot showers on the river not much better. Btw great host and access to everything! Must stop! read more

This is lovely clean park. Right by the river. Has plenty of drive through sites. Mature trees and a good places to walk our dog. The little town is charming! The staff here helpful and friendly. The only downside is the do not allow RV over 10 years old. Ours is very well maintained to they permitted our overnight visit. I just hope the next staff member is as understanding, because I fell in love. read more

Nice campground for a Columbia Gorge waterfall trip. Stayed 3 nights and they had an arts festival in town which was 1/2 mile walk from campground Only one set of restrooms and laundry facilities The new camp host George was great and attentive to questions and answers Would stay here again in our 37 foot fifth wheel read more

Just spent 4 days at Sandy Riverfront RV Resort and would DEFINITELY return. Very friendly staff checked us in - we found a clean, well kept RV space that fit our system perfectly. VERY CLEAN restrooms and shower areas. It is situated along the banks of Sandy River with easy access to the beach. A portion of the park is occupied by monthly residents whom we found friendly and respectful. The park was quiet and peaceful even though a railroad and freeway are nearby. Located far enough away from Portland and Vancouver to enjoy peace and quiet. I HIGHLY recommend this resort read more

Beautiful and well kept RV park in Troutdale. Everything was spotless including the showers we used every morning. For the number of RV's in this park it was extremely quiet. It looks as if many of the spots are filled by permanent residents. We were lucky to get a site on the river for our 3 nights there. Hope to come back soon as it's only 10 minutes from my son and his family. read more

Sandy Riverfront Rv Resort - Site 116 on the Sandy River. - RV Parks Near Me - Troutdale, Oregon

Nice RV park. A bit too strict on the rules but understandable to some degree with all that's going on in portland OR area.

Samuel Hicks - EDIT 2/5 2 minutes ago on Google The RV park is great, the customer service is absolutely horrible. I arranged this stay in February for a weekend in July. I paid for 4 sites for my cousins wedding. I'll start with the drive to the resort. The lady from the resort called me at 11 am to confirm my stay, no problem there. I told her I was about 35 min away, she immediately started in on me saying I had better slow down because I couldn't move into the spot I had rented until noon.... I was a little shocked. I said to her that's fine, I'm at least 35 away and I could always stop and get fuel to burn some more time. She immediately launched back at me and said that I had better do that... I hung up the phone feeling a little confused, like maybe I had done something wrong Anywho I arrived at the office at 11:55 and this lady came out of the the office with a serious attitude because I was 5 min early, she started chewing on me pretty good. I was thinking that maybe she just did not like me for something..... Turns out that in the next 2 hours of me waiting at the office for my site to open I got front row seats to her being rude to 5 other vehicles full of people. One poor guy got screamed at because his tire was near the dotted line on the entry road. Another unfortunate Gentalman had a plug burn up on his rv so he came to ask this lady if anything like this happens very often to anyone else... she didn't hold back a bit on that poor guy. Telling him that his equipment was sub par and his maintenance was garbage. One of my party bought a new RV, so she unloaded on them because they didn't call her before purchasing it and bringing it to the park. The hours on the bathrooms are from 8 am to noon. The hours on the dumpster are from 8 to noon..... That is the craziest thing I've ever seen at a resort.... I could go on and on.... this lady is just a horrible customer service representative. I'm not sure if she holds stake in the business or if she's just a employee but she needs to seek some sort of training. I will never stay at the site again as long as she is there..... I can't even explain how rude and disrespectful she is to every single one of her guests.... read more

We stay at this RV park year after year! The spots a nice size and the staff went out of their way to help us! Don't miss the ice cream at the Sugar Pine across the street read more

We stayed here for 5 days while visiting family and exploring the local area. Troutdale is adorable and is a perfect distance to explore both the city (which we didnt) and the Columbia Forge area (which we LOVED). The park was clean and very well organized. The site we were on was perfectly level and in close proximity to the amenities. We would definitely stay here again. read more

This location we have stayed previously and plan on making this an regular for our family. Clean sites, clean bathroom and quite. View of the river is gorgeous. They had a potluck and ice cream social for everyone. The front desk lady was very nice and even has a cute dog. I receive a call prior to check in. I was running late due to traffic accident along the busy, crowded holiday highway. That shows me extra work for employees that take the extra mile for customers. Great location! read more

Sandy Riverfront Rv Resort - View of the river. - RV Parks Near Me - Troutdale, Oregon

we're here in January 2021 in the middle of the Covid pandemic a little on the off-season but I must say this place is really worth the price point. The restrooms and laundry room are clean and presentable. I hesitated and decided not to takeoff a star but I would like to see the restrooms and Showers open for a little longer period of time. read more

Will refuse service animals over size and breed, then tell you they don't care if you try to sue cause they're a resort and they can make that rule. Apparently Ada and federal guidelines don't apply to them. Anyone with a seeing eye dog over 75 lbs is screwed because the dog is too big or aggressive for Charmaine the big manager lady on the phone with all her mighty power. They will be hearing from our lawyer asap. NOT ADA FRIENDLY read more

They are not willing to allow older RV's that have been completely remodeled into a classic antique! Sad as people like mid century modern!

This RV Park is amazing!! The grounds are well kept and the views of the Sandy River are fantastic. Charmaine, the park manager, does a great job of assisting and helping the guests. I have to laugh at the "one star" complaints about her personality and being a stickler for rules. If I owned an RV park as nice as this, Charmaine is the only person I would want to run it for me. It's sad that too many guests feel they are "entitled" and don't want or need to abide by the rules that are in place. In order for guests to realize that their children or pets are bothering other guests, they have to see it themselves....which they don't. When they don't, thankfully Charmaine is there to keep them in line. Also, rules such as no mats allowed on the grass are in place for a reason. When individual guests choose when they should or should not abide by the park rules creates nothing but problems. A few of these guests don't understand that this is no different than paying to stay at a hotel, bed and breakfast, or having guests stay at your own house. The property owner makes the rules and the guests can either choose to follow them or pick another campground. I'm grateful and hopeful that the disgruntled people that are complaining do not return to Sandy River RV as it opens up more availability for my family. I have to really laugh at a reviewer that hated and complained about the park so much that they stayed for 3 weeks!!! Really???! Thank you Charmaine for letting us stay at your beautiful property and we look forward to many trips back in the future! read more

Stayed here a few nights. I was pleasantly surprised. I've never been to the historic side of Troutdale, it was awesome. Small, clean and a good vibe to it. This park is right on the edge of town, right in the Sandy River. I've mentioned in the past about full time residents, there are about 50% of the park, but the owners keep the park clean and pretty clutter free from the full timers. The office keeper was entertaining, a bit gruff, but we all have different personalities and I'm sure with time we grow to love each other. One knock that keeps this from being 5 stars for me, and I mention this as only a suggestion, I have no idea how the park owners financial situation is, the slabs that the RVs park on need replaced. They are falling apart. The asphalt is likewise beyond its useful life. I did notice that a few sites were taped off. It looked like they had settling problems with their soil, which is common in the valley. This can't be cheap to fix, and as a business owner myself (hence why I cannot be Elite with yelp, and just try to be my best) I can understand juggling money to prioritize projects. Beautiful greenery and area is gateway to historic Hwy 30. We will be back, And thank them for their hard work. read more

More like between and two star and three star. Pros: Clean park (for the most part, I will get to that in a minute) showers were clean and comfortable and felt safe to use. The laundry room was very clean (if you were actually able to use them..) Nice location. Cons: Not much of a "resort", more like a giant asphalt/concrete parking lot. Our space was probably one of the worst. We stayed during the summer and even though the weather was warm, most of the other sites had green grass. Our space's "grass" was dried out and at the base of the light pole and other permanent fixtures in the ground, the "grass" was burned and dark from dogs repeatedly urinating around those fixtures but the urine never getting washed off by regular watering. No shade. The "no mat" rule was kind of a joke since the "grass" was in such bad shape. We were not going to have our dogs sit on it in their pen when we had them outside with us, so we just used our pen w/mat and figured we'd deal with the park if anyone said anything...they never did, probably because they really wouldn't have much of an argument. When we arrived and noticed the condition of the site, I took account of all the other empty sites (approx. 6) that were in much better shape. I went to speak to the park manager to ask for a different site and she claimed that all the other sites were reserved (quite abruptly). We saw at least two other customers come for one night (we were staying three nights) and did not understand why the park wouldn't work with us. The manager was not going to budge and her attitude was that she "rules the roost". I wanted to do some laundry but because I didn't get the tokens from the office BEFORE 5pm, I was out of luck. Weird that they keep the tokens in the office, we stayed at other RV parks during this trip and the token machines are located right in the laundry rooms, which makes it very convenient to do laundry later in the day when you're back at your site for the evening. Not sure if we would stay here again, I got the vibe that if you weren't one of their "regulars", they were not willing to even try to accommodate you. A bit uppity for an RV "Park". read more

Great spot...little noisy with trains, but can't beat location and facility. Manager on site, is all business and runs a good operation. Our stuff was waiting for us and all the details were set. Would recommend and stay again. read more

Beautiful. Clean. Friendly staff. Trails to the river. The laundry room is spotless clean, the machines are newer. They have oversized washer and dryer. read more

My husband and I stopped here on our way back in to Portland. Didn't have a reservation, so we were nervous we'd get a spot. But, the front office was incredibly nice and accommodating. Charmaine was an absolute doll and gave us a fabulous recommendation for dinner. The spot we had was on the river and very quiet. Beautiful grounds and very clean facilities. It was also nice to be so close to town (which has some adorable botiques and cafes). Wish we had found this park sooner....we would have spent more time here! read more

Stayed here for a few days in June '21 with my family of 4 and 35 foot 5th wheel. Paved pull through level spot we had, all spots are paved, full hook ups. Mostly every site has a nice mature tree to give you shade from the morning sun or afternoon sun. Easy access to the Sandy River, was fun to play and cool off in with our kids. The only downside was the crazy bathroom hours of 8am to 12pm (4hrs) or was it 8am to 11am? Oh well, either way my family thought it was a bummer that we couldn't use the showers after playing in the river. Could this have been because of COVID? I dunno but since this was our 6th camp site on our trip, we never had such restricted bathroom hours. Also the trash dumpsters get locked up at 7/7:30pm-ish, which was another bummer because after coming home late from Mt Hood and eating a late dinner past 7:30pm, we are left we stinky trash in our trailer all night, I get the point of locking up the trash but not that early, maybe 9pm/10pm would be a better time to lock them up, give people a chance to throw the trash out if they have been away all day. Oh yea, internet worked which was a plus for streaming.... read more

Love this place. Close to everything. Park is very nice and usually full. We enjoyed all the sites of the Columbia River all within an hour's drive. The town of Troutdale is quaint and you're close to the Outlet Mall. Management is very helpful. Free WiFi. We'll be back. read more

Sandy River Front RV in Troutdale is awesome. The setting here is beautiful - staying in the gorge was awesome! The resort is nestled in some trees right alongside the river. The park is quiet and peaceful. There are several long term residents but they all keep their areas very tidy. Everyone we talked to during our stay (visitor's, residents, and staff) was friendly. The bathrooms were clean and showers had ample hot water. The ladies bathroom however did have a really bad smell; I would describe it as that smell in a hair salon when someone is getting a perm. It was a very peculiar smell but tolerable - wouldn't keep us from coming back. The laundry room was nice but you do have to get tokens. We left on Sunday and had many tokens left. The office was closed so we put them in a baggie, wrote down our space number, and put it in the drop box at the office. We didn't know if we would get the money back but it was only $11 so it was no big deal. To our surprise a couple weeks after our trip we received a money order in the mail for the $11. Thought that was really cool. The grass spaces between RVs wasn't bad, a little small but nice enough. This park does allow dogs but they must be 20lbs or less. Close to downtown Portland - only about 15-20 minutes. Really close to Multnomah Falls!! There is no pool at this resort but the river is right there! Across the street there is a park with a small beach allowing access to the river. While we were there a first-aid/life guard area was set up where they were educating visitors of the swift currents and passing out life vest for kids to use if they were going to play in the water. While speaking with the life guards they informed us of a few recent drownings in the river - so if going with little ones keep this in mind before letting them play in the water! The resort does have air traffic overhead but it really wasn't bad. We actually had fun while sitting at the picnic table having dinner watching the planes go overhead. Noise wasn't an issue at night while trying to sleep. We would recommend this park if you are planning a visit to Portland. It is outside of Portland but doesn't have the loud constant train and air traffic noise that the larger RV parks closer to downtown have. Also doesn't have that total Parking-Lot feel the other have. We would have stayed here during this summer but there is a small chance we might take our Basset Hound and unfortunately she wouldn't be welcome as she is WAY over 20lbs. read more

I'll keep it short and to the point. Nice looking park. Wifi is difficult to use. I'm still not sure if they charge. It looks like it's $10. Or maybe free. I'm not certain. Went through the login process and then it looked like an error but there was a link to buy a $10 access. Annoyed I dropped that approach and turned on the hotspot on my cell. Even if I did get through you're limited to 1500 meg per hour which means we could not stream video from Netflix or make calls through the net. Weird that all the water,power and cable hook ups are located at the street right when you pull onto the parking pad rather than 10-20 feet in. So you may need extra long hose, cable and cord. Odd placement. Update, as we were leaving I saw another row where the power and sewer were moved in to the pad. Mke sure you pick the right row if your sewer and power aren't at the rear. read more

We stayed here about 3 weeks in one of the riverfront spots. The trains are soo close they actually shook our 5th wheel and they blow their horns at all hours. The wifi is basically non-existent; don't count on using this. We did get basic cable so it wasn't too terrible on rainy days. There's not a lot of space between rigs when both have slides, but they do have a driveway for an extra vehicle which was great. Everything you could need is nearby and a tiny section of town is within walking range. Be prepared that if you plan on staying a month or more, they require a background check. Overall, it was fine. We felt safe. read more
