Hudson Parcher County Park

How often do you find a hidden sanctuary just minutes from a small town yet teeming with forested charm and outdoor activities? Hudson-Parcher County Park, located less than five miles from Rainier, Oregon, defies expectations with its serene, wooded setting interspersed with practical amenities, making it an ideal choice for both weekend getaways and quiet stopovers for road-tripping adventurers.

Spanning 27 acres within a lush temperate forest, this campground offers 10 tent sites, 25 RV sites, and a dedicated bike camping spot. Sites are thoughtfully equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and access to clean restrooms and hot showers. The tranquil Beaver Creek winds through the park, adding opportunities for fishing and even spotting crawfish. Playgrounds, sports fields, and a day-use lodge with a kitchen enrich the experience for families and groups, while older second-growth Douglas firs and bigleaf maples provide shade and a sense of natural tranquility.

The park sits within a 30-minute drive of the famed Columbia River, offering boating, fishing, and windsurfing opportunities. Whether you want to cycle along forested paths, watch local wildlife like Columbian black-tailed deer, or simply enjoy a quiet evening by the campfire, Hudson-Parcher County Park combines accessibility with a distinctly peaceful atmosphere for any camping enthusiast.
