best tent camping near portland oregon image
Thatonegir
I will be heading to Portland in the spring with a small school group (around 12 people total). I am looking for a campground as close to the city as possible, and can't seem to find one less than 40 minutes away. Anyone know of a place?
Answer
What kind of camping? R.V., tent, etc.?
There are a number of RV parks in the area: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=camping+near+Portland,+Oregon&sll=45.523875,-122.670399&sspn=0.894798,1.674042&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=11
The closest tent campground would be Government Island, but it is only accessible by private boat: http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_250.php
Otherwise the closest seems to be Ainsworth State Park in the Gorge, about 25 miles from central Portland. http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_146.php
Since you are a school group, perhaps contact teachers and/or students at a school and become buddies with them. Perhaps they will let you camp on the grounds or at someone's house?

Good campgrounds in western Oregon...?
Big Fat Wr
What are some good campgrounds for tent camping that possibly also have cabins. I am look for something less then about 2 hours outside of Portland. Maybe something off of 26? Any suggestions
Answer
Silver Falls State Park. Not sure of your travel dates, but now is the perfect time to visit as the waterfalls are thundering near maximum flow, given all the rain this Spring. Cabins are available, as are regular campsites. Possibly, arguably, the best state park in Oregon. Don't limit yourself to Hwy 26.
