Armstrong Campground

How does a peaceful escape on the edge of a pristine wild river sound? Armstrong Campground, located just 15 miles east of Estacada, Oregon, lies along the Clackamas Wild and Scenic River, offering a serene and natural setting for tent campers and small RVs. This modest campground is defined by towering trees, lush vegetation, and the soothing sound of the river, which is accessible directly from the campground.

The campground features 11 widely spaced sites, many of which are tent-only and provide a sense of privacy thanks to the dense greenery. Each site is equipped with a campfire ring, grill, picnic table, and tent pad, while vault toilets and potable water are available on-site. The scenic setting makes it an excellent spot for activities like fishing, bird watching, and relaxing by the river. For the more adventurous, a boat launch is a short drive away at Fish Creek Campground, perfect for kayaking or canoeing. Hiking and mountain biking opportunities abound in the surrounding Mount Hood National Forest.

Armstrong Campground is a convenient base for exploring nearby attractions, just a short drive from the charming town of Estacada. Its proximity to the Clackamas River and surrounding forest makes it perfect for weekend getaways or short camping trips focused on reconnecting with nature.
