Nice quiet campground about an hour from Portland. Many sites sit close to the Clackamas river…read more Sites had a picnic table and firepit. Dog friendly. There is potable water. Most of the toilets are pit toilets, but there are flush toilets although they were closed when we went this past weekend. Lots of hiking trails close by.

The property is nestled in a beautiful area and feels like you are truly out in the wilderness area. The owners have some meticulously groomed and constructed trails near a creek complete with plenty of flora and fauna. We enjoyed watching the horses, Canadian geese with their goslings, and playing with dogs Delilah & Sasha. They have beautiful amenities in this modern lodge-style home complete with a nice wood-burning fireplace. Breakfast was tasty with eggs, breads & jam, and steel cut oatmeal with fruit and toppings. The owners have a wealth of knowledge for suggestions and ideas for things to do outside. CML is a must-visit!

Location: Five stars if you are a hiker, fisher or just want a quiet getaway from the city and its…read moreamenities. One star if you want those amenities. The nearest good restaurants, shopping and full-service stores are thirty miles away. Building: Five stars for a large, modern home with a lodge look, spacious and well-built with upscale fixtures. There are three upstairs rooms for rent. Grounds: Five stars for the generally attractive surroundings that reportedly include miles of hiking trails. Room and amenities: Four Stars for our room, which was spacious with lots of storage, a balcony and a bath. There were two bed lamps but both were inadequate for reading, while the flood lights in the ceiling were too bright for anyone lying in bed trying to read. The room included a small desk and a chair. Our room rating does not consider the other two rooms, one a bedroom, the other a bunk room for an unknown number of good friends or an entire family, both with a separate or shared bath. Bathroom and amenities: Four stars for the small bath with shower. Counter space was inadequate but that was fully compensated with plenty of drawers and cupboards. Due to the small size of the bath, there is only one towel rack and the TP is uncomfortably located to the rear of the small toilet. The lighting is better than that in most hotel bathrooms. Bed and pillows: Five Stars for the comfortable queen bed. One star for the mushy pillows that crank your chin up toward your chest without providing any support for your neck. HVAC: One star for an unconventional room air conditioner that not only blew cold air across the bed all night long but did so at constantly varying fan speeds that supposedly mimic natural breezes but actually mimic natural cold winds. Both the remote control and the instructions for the AC indicated that this supposedly desirable feature could be defeated in favor of steady low, medium and high fan speeds; however, our attempts to change the program (which included an attempt to reboot the remote) changed nothing. We made do the second night without the AC by opening the door to the balcony. Breakfast. Four stars for a healthy fix-it-yourself fruit and cereal breakfast with high-quality breads and jams. Dog: Five stars for Delilah, a very nice Lab. Service: Three stars. The hosts are friendly and helpful but this is an Airbnb home, not a full-service hotel. Noise Level: Four stars. The rooms are not well-isolated from the central living area or each other; however, the home is generally quiet and noisy activities cease around nine or ten at night. Price and Summary: Airbnb properties generally offer lower prices but they are able to do this in part because they generally are not subject to the building and safety codes and the insurance requirements of commercial hotels. Cascade Mountain Lodge offers especially favorable prices for such a nice property, if its Location (see above) is right for you. The hosts have an unconventional no-shoes-upstairs rule.

Hey, are you planning a group campout? It's harder than it seems, right? To find a place nearish to…read morePortland, with enough room for everyone, without costing a million dollars. Depending on your needs, Raab might hit the spot. Ten things about camping at Raab, in no particular order: 1. Don't know from where the name came, and don't know how to pronounce it. Also uncertain about the broccoli by the same name. 2. It's on a bend of the Callowash River. Bring your floaties and river shoes. You may end up walking through or around other people's campsites to get to the water, but they'll understand. If you explore, you can find several private spots, too. 3. The sites are divided into loops, and you rent a whole loop, not individual sites. Depending on your loop, your tent sites might be somewhat small and far apart, divided by lots of old-growth trees and wild rhodies. If you want a big group space with a nice gathering area, pick site E. It would be great for a group of 30 or more. 4. There's one can for each side of the campground. It's fairly clean and decently maintained for a vault toilet, but you'll occasionally experience a small line. 5. I found four geodes! Four! On the ground! 6. It's close to Bagby Hot Springs. Only like 10 miles away, and on the same stretch of road. If you get up early, you might be able to beat the crowds. 7. There are otters! They make really cute squeaky noises. 8. The nearest store is the Ripplebrook Ranger Station. They cannot run a credit card when someone is talking on the phone. They have ice and firewood, but sometimes run out of both. 9. There's no cell service. If you take walkie-talkies, be sure to charge them before you leave. 10. If you leave a light on in your car for four days, make sure someone in your group has jumper cables and know-how. Hope that helps! Best of luck out there, campers!

The Oak Park Motel is an old school roadside motel in a small town located in northwestern Oregon…read more Like Mill City itself, the motel isn't fancy or luxurious, and there isn't anything too remarkable about it. But it has character and charm. Maybe it's the reminder of the old days when things were simple and uncomplicated. There are about 7 little rooms around a square parking lot. Every room has its own parking bay. They had literally just reopened the day we came through town - which is a good thing since there really aren't any other places to stay within 20 miles or so. The proprietor was friendly enough and we got the sense she was happy to have customers again. Location wise it's pretty cool, right off the highway. Things quiet down at night (and it's a small town so there's not really that much going on anyway). There is an absolutely huge oak tree near the entrance and a little coffee shop across the street. There is also a pot shop next door if you are into that sort of thing. Everything in the room was fairly clean and was basically functional. There was running water and the TV worked. There was definitely room for improvement but the room served its purpose and the price was right. For less than $100 per night at a two star hotel, what more can you expect? Not much. For what this place is, it's pretty good. A four star two star hotel!

O M G…read more Pretty sure this is the most gorgeous place I've ever camped. And, having spent most of my life camping in the PNW, that is really saying something. Gorge Campground is located near the tiny outpost of Camp Sherman, along the postcard-worthy Metolius River. The campground itself is small, but the sites are large. You need to reserve online at the stroke of midnight on January 1 of each year, and believe me the premium sites along the river fill up FAST. But it's worth it because these sites are ginormous, with plenty of space for a small travel trailer and/or a couple of tents. There's a trail that runs through the campground, and along the river for a few miles in each direction. There are also pit toilets and the area is regularly patrolled by local rangers - so it was all very safe. The beauty and quiet here are too much to describe in a Yelp review. So just pack up your tent and GO. You won't regret it. I can't wait to go back! Pro tip: there is no running water at the campground, so you need to bring what you need. We stopped at the Camp Sherman RV Park and were able to fill our tank with fresh water. Some sites say there is also water at the nearby Allingson Campground, but I was not able to confirm this. Oh, and the Camp Sherman Store has pretty much anything you could possibly need on your trip!

The first review basically says it all, but here's my take…read more Been coming out here to the camp Sherman area since childhood, and it never disappoints. Getting a spot out here is hard, so book right when they open reservations. We got two spots, the premium river and one just down the way, and they are big. Lots of space for trailer or 2-3 tents and cars. Nice fire pits and very clean restroom (gender neutral), which I like for many reasons, but the most practical is, you don't have to wait, if not comfortable. People are very respectful here, didn't hear a generator at night--which is very nice, and like many campgrounds, you can feel secure leaving for hours and all your gear is safe, but may get investigated by ground squirrels (see pic). The river is beautiful and it's so fun watching the fisherman. If you'd like to hike, there's a trail along the river to Wizard Falls or the other way as well, but keep in mind, it's a little confusing with the large resort near by, that you can't cross, (if going down stream) signage isn't the best and the drop is steep. The camp store is very close and a nice Mexican/Peruvian place to eat at, if you'd like to have a meal away from camp. There is no water at the campsite, but the two down the road have running water to fill your cubes or bottles, or as mentioned, the camp store. This is a very special place, and I hope more people discover and enjoy it.

Great lower key ski resort. A couple black diamond runs, a couple blue squares, and couple green…read morecircles. Very few lines/waits to board ski lifts on my Sunday day ticket. I loved the back side Over Easy run. Felt like casual down hill cross country skiing that gradually decedents from the highest slope all the way along the back side of all the other runs and eventually ending at the bunny hill. Great for moderate beginners. Overall great vibes. Lots of families. Nothing ghetto going on, nobody smelled like weed. Sunday adult day ticket was $85 / person (compared to Mt. Bachelor which is around $200 / person!). Free parking. American Express is not accepted here. So bring VISA, MasterCard, or cash to buy your lift ticket and food. Also, there is NO public WiFi.
