We're traveling from Pendleton Oregon. I needed a break. So I called this Campground, They had one spot available. I'm so glad that I did . At first.I was a little nervous because when you go down by the creek for the day use people are a little sketchy. We did not see one of them in the RV part of the park. They all stay down by the creek on the day use area. It was a great price Everything was perfect No frills, but a nice shade tree a shower and a creek . When traveling that's all you need. We felt safe at night. We left our chairs out and everything was perfect. We checked in on Monday and there's a young mom in there with a baby. She couldn't have been sweeter. She was helpful and just really kind. She told us where to go get coffee in the morning. The town is maybe a mile and a half. We rode our bike . On my way back to wherever I'm going. I would stop here again. THANK YOU for taking us last minute. read more

Armitage Park - Beautiful peaceful bike trail - Parks Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I love this park and used to take my dog there often - sadly I am no longer in the area! Not overly manicured and the trail along the river is lovely read more

Stayed at Armitage Park for 6 days. As others have noted the codes change for the bathrooms/showers and laundry without notice. I found the guy in the cart rather surly and not very helpful. When you can get in the Bathroom and Laundry, it's fine. Othewrise it served my needs. read more

Nice large peaceful park to camp. Easy to get in and easy to get out. Nice level sites. Everything looked clean and well maintained. Good job County! read more

What a hot mess! I was completely disrespected by one of the hosts. Basically, I was put in the wrong campsite. I had requested this nice one with beautiful trees where I can spread out. Instead, I was put into #32 which is a tiny one that smells like urine. When I went to the office I let them know this and they told me that they had me assigned to #30. Well, #30 had another person's name and my name was on #32. I really tried to be okay with the site but I didn't pick this one and had been looking forward to those trees. I went back to the office and had a different person and I said, "I really need you to move me to a better spot." I went on to explain the reason I chose the other site and that this one was 1/3 of the size and it was not fair that I had to stay there because of their mistake. I really was not mean about it. It didn't matter, this lady went off on me. Yikes! Seriously bringing me to tears. I actually asked her, "Why are you yelling at me?" during sniffles from making me cry. She said, "You cannot come over here and tell me to do something because you don't like your site!" I told her, it was their mistake (again, my name was on #32 but my parking pass and their records showed #30). Meh! I was over it. I was going to leave but that's $100+ I was going to lose (we were here for 3 nights). A nicer host stopped by a little later and apologized and took all the blame. She was not sure how she made the mistake and she refunded 1 night (I thought she was going to refund all 3). I decided that we just wouldn't stay in our travel trailer and would venture off. So, yes, they did lose a lot of stars because I don't care who you are, you do not yell at the customers! I personally will not be back because, well, I was yelled at! But also, the river was pretty fast and I don't like kayaking down those types of rivers and I thought they had a little area to splash around in. Nope. You can walk down to the water but only get up to your ankles wet. If you need to stay here, I definitely recommend site 30 (which is the one I requested) or #31. That one seemed peaceful. I hope this place takes from the experience and realizes that they need to step it up. read more

This is a really nice private campground with a river running through and an off leash dog park. Volleyball nets, horseshoes and picnic areas and lots of room to ride bikes and walk. The host Jeff was on top of things and called to see if we had checked in because he noticed a tent in our site. We were still on the road so he made sure to let those folks know to vacate but first he had to find them. He checked in a few times and let us know that we could switch sites if they were still there. No problems though when we got here, Thank You Host Jeff! There is very little road noise. The RV sites are spacious. The sunset over the river was gorgeous ( see picture). read more

Armitage Park Campground 11:30am Thursday Nov. 10th 2022 Oregon tag on car: Ztq364 White male approx. mid to late 30's, 6'0-6'3" 280lbs Site 10 Spent an hour or so gathering our laundry and shower things, readying the van for the day and finishing coffee. En route to the dump station we were going camp speed so less than 5 since we were approaching the dump station. As we stopped a car behind us honked and moved around us. There was a dip to pull into for the dump station as well as an entire road to move around. I got out to do the trash and noted the car pulled into site 10 across from the dump station. A male (described above) exited the vehicle, appearing to be the only one inside and proceeded to shout at me. He reprimanded me for driving slow, for him almost hitting me etc when I explained that he must have been tailgating because none of that would have taken place if he was 2 car links behind he escalated and called me a few amazing things. Both about my intelligence level and weight.... I tried several times to end the "conversation" as I was vulnerable trying to empty trash, the toilet etc and he continued to make threats. Telling me he was going to handle it, he was going to show me mad etc when I said to please stop yelling he interjected with, "this isn't yelling!! You want to see me yelling?!" all of the cliche things that I'm sure make him feel strong. He threatened my life a few times until finally I abandoned my task and immediately went to the park host who wasn't at their station (extremely limited hours) but was available over the phone. I parked outside of their RV and called for assistance. The park host is an older couple and as I was talking to the husband of the pair I could hear the wife saying, "don't go out there!!" at this time the damn guy comes up in his car and has been following me this whole time... he menacingly glared and drove by all slow and went right back to his spot. I assume he was getting my license plate number. Terrified I let the park host know we weren't staying and that we were unable to use any amenities because this guy is a serious threat, the host responded, "I don't blame you for leaving!" I hung up with the host who was now probably barricaded in their own RV and called the sheriffs office. They dispatched a deputy who came out pretty quickly and said he was really familiar with the park. Not sure if that's because he gets calls often or because he visits often. He spoke with the guy who in his words was still combative and confrontational and at this point on the phone with his therapist... The deputy said the guy was probably having a bad day and let it out on us and that he didn't want to escalate the situation, impound his RV, have the guy be temporarily put out and deal with impound fees etc... while the deputy was extremely kind to me it was also disappointing to have my life threatened, be stalked through a campground, not have equal access to a space I paid to be in and now find ourselves leaving and having to find another place to go when we planned to be at this location for a few days. I'm tired of fragile masculinity and I'm tired of men like this not learning lessons and continuing to terrorize people and get away with it. It's hard to not allow your free will to be challenged when we're literally leaving and changing our trip because of this one insignificant yet dangerous person. read more

We enjoy staying at this campsite. Its a beautiful location. Most of the sites are pretty ones and well maintained.

Armitage Park - One of the more private sites. - Parks Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

See all

The bathroom codes being changed without notice is a constant problem. You pay for a site and expect the code to the bathroom, laundry room and shower but that doesn't happen. They change the codes as many times and whenever they feel like it . So do NOT expect a shower, toilet or laundry here. We have stayed 4 times before leaving the review. No one has the code so if you happen to have it everyone wants it from you. Please banging on the door while you try to shower or use the toilet. Imagine needing the bathroom in the middle of the night only to find the code no longer works. If you are a guy no problem if yours a girl it's a bit of a hassle. The camp hosts don't host you, they don't give a f....... You are problem to them and don't disturb them even if it's regular hours and you have paid and the sign says open. read more

I stayed in a tent site two nights in July 2024, a Friday and a Saturday. I was close to two group sites and a "lean-to" rented for large gatherings. I was shocked to learn that I paid $50 per night (the most I paid for a tent site on a 14-day road trip from Northern California to Mount Rainier and back) and yet I was locked out of the the bathrooms/showers from 10 PM to 7 AM. Locked meaning NO ONE can use them. Oh, no worries, host told me, there are three porta-potties nearby. By Sunday morning the porta-potties were so bad I preferred to pee in a bucket in my van. Yes, bathrooms locked even though from 7 AM to 10 PM when registered campers could use them, a four-digit code is needed to get in. If you need a code to get-in, doesn't that eliminate use by unregistered campers? I think the fact that you cannot use the showers or toilets between 10 PM and 7 AM should be stated clearly when someone makes a reservation. Also, close enough to Highway 5 and the airport to have road and airplane noise. read more

Absolutely gorgeous Rv park! Spaces are large, not cramped. Quiet and green!! Don't understand the 3 star rating. This place is amazing! Spaces and roads are paved and clean. Laundry facilities and restrooms are clean. We will stay here whenever we're in the area. read more

We rented site J for a family/birthday BBQ in July. Absolutely wonderful people to work with! I had lots of questions and everyone was patient and kind, filled with answers. We needed an ADA restroom added, no problem, water and electricity provided... and the view is great. The whole family had a wonderful time. Only thing I would ask for next time is that they run a mower/weed eater more often. read more

This is a county park on the North end of Eugene very convenient to both Eugene and Springfield. Rates are goid,cabel tv,large area for games kids can run around in grassy area. Convenient location Good rates Nice spots Cabel TV What else could you want? read more

I only wanted to find out if there were cancellations and one host doesn't want to be bothered until noon. The main host Lee doesn't want to wake up at 11 in the morning to help paying customers. I always leave the site clean and they act like it's such a bother to get up and help people. If you dont want to do your job, perhaps Lane County Parks should get someone in there to do it for you. read more

My husband &I I have stayed here two times in our travel trailer. A very nice place for a stop over. Quite clean. The river is beautiful. Not a place for vacation just a stop over. read more

I took my daughter fishing on the banks of the McKenzie River on a Sunday afternoon in late September. We paid the day use fee and thought the park was nice, until we met a very unfriendly and downright rude camp host. After an hour of fishing my daughter desperately had to use the bathroom. We took the nearest path up to the locked restroom in the camp area. I approached the camp host and said that we weren't camping there but my daughter really needed to use the restroom. I then pleaded for the combination. It was quite obvious that my daughter was uncomfortable because she was dancing around due to the fact that she had been holding it for such a long period of time. The camp host refused to give us the combination and pointed us in the direction of a public restroom on the other side of Armitage Park, nearly a 1/4 mile away. I DO NOT recommend the camping area at Armitage Park! read more

This park is right on the McKenzie River. The RV spots are spacious. There are old-growth trees in the park and we happened to hit at the right time because black berries were in season. I was able to make a blackberry pie while we were at camp here. There's also tent camping, and a beautiful, beautiful picnic area. There are walking trails that are paved along the river, and it's very quiet. We would stay here again. The big advantage is that it's right off Interstate 5, so it's easy on easy off. While down at the river, we saw a great gray heron and an Osprey. The camp hosts are also very helpful as well as park personnel. read more

Armitage Park - This is a typical RV spot with a lot of room for stretching. - Parks Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Beautiful RV park. Plenty of space between sites and all level. Full hook-ups (water, 20-50amp, cable, wifi, sewer), large lawn space and mature trees. My favorites are any site along the outside perimeter. read more

This is a great county park on the south bank of the Mackenzie River just down from I-5. Scenic, spacious, good facilities for families or larger groups, plenty of shade and sun, volleyball nets, ample parking, camping too. Excellent large rocky beach/swimming hole at one end, upstream from the boat ramp. Had my partners' grand-daughter's fourth birthday party here, just about perfect. I-5 bridge is noisy but throws welcome beach-shade on a hot day. read more

We needed a place to test out our New Trailer. Reading reviews online about Armitage Campgound and having two dogs, we thought this would be a nice place to Visit and Camp in January. A nice place it would be if it wasn't for all the transient type vehicles/people in every other Camp spot and around walking the trails. Everyone deserves a home I get it! Opening up or renting out camp spaces up to 14 days w/laundry/Shower facilities may be helpful in the Eugene area with the homeless population high at this time, but the Campground then needs to be honest on the Sales Pitch for this place for people coming from far distances. During our stay, I saw people urinating multiple times in their campground next to their vehicles while walking our dogs. And many of those areas looked cluttered. You could tell by those campsites, it wasn't just camping.. they were living there. And when I emptied our occasional trash from our site at the bins across the way, the bins had cushions, old blankets, broken up chairs etc in them... Anyway, long story short, The owners or Management should probably manage the area a little better. Is this a Family friendly Campground for occasional visits? Or is this a homeless shelter? Either way, needs a bit more honest clarification on the Campground Checkin as well as the advertisement of the place. read more

First of all, the two campground hosts are TERRIBLE. Worst customer service I've gotten in a long time, ANYWHERE. We paid for a night for a tent site ($20, no water or electricity, people use the trails behind your site and walk through. Our neighbors even had someone steal their cell phone, place a call, and put it some where else in the site.) The next morning, my mother decided she wanted to stay another night because she liked the area. She called the office, left a voicemail to call her so she could pay for another night. Around one, the woman host came into our site SCREAMING. Woke up my toddler who I had just gotten to nap. Kept saying we were trying to scam them, free loading etc. I finally got the gist of what she was saying. I told her my mom had called in and she kept calling me a liar and told me I needed to pay or leave. Called up to the office and spoke to the other host who proceeds to tell me he hasn't bothered with checking messages. Their sign says they accept visa and MC, however he acts like it's a HUGE inconvenience when you pay that way. The park itself is decent. Tent sites are hilly. Has a laundry facility and the bathrooms aren't bad. Not some place I would stay if i could avoid it. read more

Manager has very poor customer service skills.

Nice, clean, plenty of space, close to river, easy on/ off Highway 5, but you do hear some freeway noise.

Roomy sites with plenty of green. Both asphalt and grass at the site so clean and comfy for dogs. Walking path within facility was scenic and pleasant read more

I would recommend this campground to anyone passing through, my wife and I tent camped for one night while traveling from Northern Washington back down to our home in San Diego. We pulled in just after sunset and the camp host was extremely helpful and after opting for a car site to make it easier to set up camp he gave us a secluded site that had ample tree coverage which worked out for the best because we woke up to about an inch of snow. The facilities were very clean and heated which made simple things like using the restroom and showering so much more enjoyable. They also had laundry facilities on site with a deep sink inside. Overall a great experience and if I'm ever even close I will camp here again. Some reviews complained about highway noise, we didn't notice any noise at all. read more

As others have recently stated the park host is so rude it is almost comical. I thought something was wrong with him but he was just a jerk. I pulled in after dark and to read the sign that said campground full I had to pull up close to it. I couldn't turn around so thought I'd drive though and check out the place for another visit. Driving through I found an empty site that said it was reserved the following night. I parked in it and noticed it was an ADA site. I walked towards the reservation area when a man drove up and parked next to it. I asked him if he was the camp host. He said yes. I asked him if site 23 was open tonight. He YELLED "it is on the board!" I said excuse me? He Yelled again, "it is on the board!!!" I explained I did not know what he was talking about. He pointed toward an outbuilding and yelled, "on the board!!!" I walked over to THE BOARD and saw someone had scrawled site 23 open tonight. He tapped it and looked at me expectantly. I explained that I now understood but that 23 was an ADA site and I did not have a permit. He again pointed to the board and yelled into my face "it is on the board!, put $30 in an envelope and into this slot and you can use it." I explained that he was not being very hospitable for a host and his behavior was uncalled for. He said loudly, but thankfully not a yell, "I'm not on the clock right now!!" I was flabbergasted and wanted to ask "if you have an open spot why does your sign say full? And if you are not on the clock why are you working?" but I feared further communication would lead to violence. I walked back to my vehicle and left. I certainly hope Lane county takes a hard look at who they have running their county campground. It is a beautiful place marred by serious bad attitude of the host. read more

This is by far the WORST county park in Oregon! The female park host was very rude and inconsiderate. Before my family and I had even finished getting out of our van, she came up with a bitchy attitude asking us why we had an extra vehicle and if we had paid for it (when all we had was a tow trailer with our camping equipment behind our van). The printed reservations, which I printed out on August 5, clearly stated that the "reservations includes either tow vehicle plus trailer, OR two vehicles per site." She insisted that the trailer was an extra vehicle and when she called her boss or whoever to come over, he expressed to us that the rules had just changed AS OF TODAY?!? Today being Saturday the 6th and I printed out my reservations yesterday the 5th. Is this a legal charge when I paid for my reservations over a month ago? I am extremely upset and annoyed. I was asked to "ZIP MY MOUTH" so that they could speak-to tell me why I was wrong and why they wanted us to pay more. I have never experienced such poor service from Park Hosts!! This is one of the only county parks in Lane County, where was the hospitality? As proud Oregonians, I expected far better service from Lane County! Not to mention, the joke of a campsite that I paid $30 for tent camping, which did not have a single flat area to put a tent. It was located between the road and the walkway across from the "park host" (which we were told was an afterthought by the park host, who said they just threw that spot in there and that's why the information on the reservation was incorrect). This specific campsite #1 was rated excellent??? If this is Lane County's level of excellence then I won't waste my money here, EVER! In comparison, staying at the yurts in Douglas County only cost $35 a night and people are allowed at least two vehicles with trailers. I'm extremely disappointed with this experience and the lack of customer service from the Lane County park system to the point that my family chose not to stay. We did not feel welcome nor did we feel safe. On top of all this, it was extremely difficult to even determine how to get to the campsite as there were arrows pointing in the wrong direction on the map which indicated we could not go in the necessary direction to get to the campsite. If you want a true camping experience in Oregon, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY here at Armitage Park!! read more
