Trains, Trains, Trains. We stayed at the bottom half of this park, and all we could hear was the train. The tracks are located right above you. Morning, noon and night. The sites are long and spacious. There are plenty of permanent residents in very old, I mean old RV's with all of their stuff exposed. They have rules for the dogs but not for the cats apparently, they run around loose and yes pee and poop where they please. We did enjoy the area sights greatly (Columbia River). Ah no we would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very clean, well landscaped and maintained park. Big rig access with sufficient room between sites. Set on multiple levels with lower level right beneath train tracks - avoid these sites! Staff was pleasant and helpful, stayed on upper level by laundry and office - would come back! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice park but is also expensive. I have stayed here many times and never been disappointed in the facilities. It has convenient access to the I-84 freeway and to Wal-Mart. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

After reading other reviews we were worried about the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They must have read the same reviews and decided to do something about it because they were friendly and helpful in each encounter we had with them. As others have written, the park is very nicely done--lots of trees and flowers and grass between the sites. The sites themselves are large with parking for a dinghy and plenty of room for chairs and the picnic table provided at each site. The park is on two levels and it appears that most of the long-term residents--and there are a lot of them-- are on the lower level (further away from the entrance) so you don't feel like you are staying in a trailer park. The location is good for visiting Portland or the Columbia Gorge. There are not many services in the immediate vicinity of the park but a number of large service stations and a couple of truck stops as well as Camping World are two exits east and are easily accessible. A couple of downsides--the pool is very small and located right at the entrance to the park and the playground is terrible. It only has an old slide and a beat-up swingset and we did not feel it was safe for our 4 year old to use. Notwithstanding that, overall the facility is very nice, clearly well-maintained and we would stay there again when we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Well all the reviews pretty much sum up this park, nicely landscaped, large concrete pads with grass and yes the office help is not very friendly but nobody has mentioned that the management does not enforce all the rules, my gripes the speed of the traffic in and out of the park, kids riding bicycles unsupervised cutting through spaces etc. and my biggest complaint rude people with pets on zippy lines letting them come into and all around your rig to potty. Why don't they use there own space. Might go back if things change. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice clean park. Good cable TV and free WiFi. Paved pads with vehicle parking. Camping World and Wal-Mart Super Center about a mile away. Staff is not very friendly. Railroad behind park which breaks the quiet at times. I would stay here again and bite my tongue around the staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is great for visiting Portland. So to bad it has such crabby hosts, they ruin it. We were traveling from another campground about an hour away and called to see when check in was since it was about to rain. We were informed check out was 11:00 but to come anyway since they could move us around. We got there at 10:50 and when I told the man at the desk that we were told to come, then he rudely said, "No, you have to come back at noon." I told him that a woman said they could move us around.."No" he says. I was ticked! My husband and I go back in and the creep is soooooooo nice to my husband, telling him he could park at Fred Meyer or Camping World down the road. When we return we both go in to register and again butter melts in his mouth. A couple of days later we drive down the street, in the campground, to visit some friends we had met from another town. Immediately the camp host walks from around his trailer, (Our friends are parked next to him) and asks us if we have read the rules. I said yes. He said, "Well see that sign it reads" fire line" and you can't park there." We told him we were only there for a minute and we would move. Not good enough. He said that the city police come in there and give $125 tickets for parking there. Truth be known he calls them. The next day our friends had a hydraulic jack leak fluid on the ground. "Sunshine", the host comes around the corner and tells him to "Clean it up." Our friend said he was going to get kitty litter to absorb it, when he went to the store. "Sunshine" tells him to put bleach on it until he cleans it up. Things are going o.k. for us until the day we are going to leave. They allow you to wash your rigs while your there. We had an empty space that had been vacant the entire time we were there. We washed our truck and pulled it into the empty site to dry it. "Sunshine" was about 10 sites from us picking up trash when he stops and walks down to us to tell us we have to move our truck, we can't park it there. My husband tells him we are only drying it there and we'll move it latter. He also tells him NO ONE can come in before noon anyway and it was 9:30 a.m. Between the crab in the office, who also has a sign in front of his rv stating "Retired USMC don't even think about parking here"!! We will never stay here again. Neither will our friends. I thought camp hosts were suppose to help you? We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I read the other reviews before coming here and agree that this is a very nice park, probably one of the nicest we have stayed at. I like the paved pull through sites with a separate paved parking area for tow car. We don't use a pool very often, but this one is very small and full of children every day. It would be nice if they had some hours set aside for adults only. There is plenty of services close by including Walmart. The train station for the Portland MAX trolley is about 10 minutes away and we took that to city center for the Saturday Market which was great. The "senior" fare is only $.85 for two hours and that is good on all public transit systems in the area. Regular fare is only $4.50 for all day. We would definitely come here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice older park within easy access to local attractions and business functions. The landscaping is beautiful and includes a nice variety of flowers. As said before, the terraced levels of the park and ample greenery give it the feel of a much smaller facility. Most sites appear to require at least two inches of side to side leveling. Proximity to the main rail line may bother some but I did not find it as a negative. I found the staff to be impatient and rude, which is unfortunate. Guest parking consists of approx. eight tight spaces next to the dumpsters in two locations serving over 400 sites. Any alternative guest parking will be viciously enforced by the staff. (We learned the hard way when an elderly relative stopped by for a quick visit and parked in a vacant site next to us for 20 minutes and was made to park 150 yards away at the dumpster) I feel the parks marketing as a 'high end' facility with rigid standards is a bit of a stretch. I was grilled over the phone about the year and condition of my vehicles (late model and higher end) only to arrive to find quite a few 80's and even a few 70's motorhomes and trailers set up for year round occupancy, including units with skirting, built-on decks, roof covers, dog fences, park models, and cars with the grass growing up around them. Any full time residents we encountered were very nice but it still came as a bit of a surprise after choosing this park based on their advertised strict admission requirements. obviously the rules don't apply to everyone.. If you don't want to pay top dollar to camp in a "trailer park" setting make sure you reserve a site closer to the main entrance. We stayed for a week and would probably stay there again but will insist on a certain area of the park next time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is an impeccable campground. The office staff is formidable on first meeting, though pleasant afterward. They will deliver phone messages to the sites. All sites and roads are asphalt-paved, and each site has an additional paved parking space. The park has a small picnic park with pavilion and pond. It also contains a huge recycling center which is well maintained. We paid the Good Sam rate, which included local taxes. There is a Wal-Mart within 2 miles. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Well kept very large older CG with lots of permanent residents. Level cement sites with grass and table. Small pool at entrance and joke playground for children. Very friendly, helpful staff. Nice place! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nice park. It is great to see seasonal campsites that are kept neat. Check-in did take a bit longer than I would expect. This is quite a large park but it is laid out in such a way that it doesn't feel huge. We were parked near the office and had no problems getting our big rig around the turn and into the pull-thru. Since the nightly price is on the high side, we were glad to see that, at least they included "free" WiFi. Except for the price, we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We started full timing in March 2007. We were not very happy with this park but waited until we had visited several other similar parks before submitting this review. The Portland Fairview RV Park is a nice looking park with over 400 sites. The grounds are nicely kept with green grass between the rigs. The streets are paved and the parking areas are concrete. There are quite a few parking areas that have broken concrete which have sunk several inches. Be careful when walking around your rig. There are only two laundry rooms for all 407 sites so you may have to walk a ways or drive to do laundry. The park only has limited parking spots around the laundry room and they are often taken by someone parking an extra car. Please be aware that there is a main line railroad immediately behind the park. Trains go by about once an hour day and night. The only good part of this is that they generally do not blow their horns as they go by. We have gotten used to the noise of the trains and do not mind them too much although I have talked to others who have moved to another park because of the trains. This park is also under the flight path for Portland International Airport. Again, the noise isn’t too loud but you may think otherwise. About three quarters of the park is able to use satellite dishes. The rest of the sites are blocked either by trees or a bluff. I do have a major complaint with the management of the park. If this park had managers as nice as those at Portland RV Park in Tualatin, then I would consider returning when I am back in the Portland area. However that is not the case. The rules are very arbitrarily enforced. Here are some examples. “Your pet’s mess is your mess, so please clean it up immediately.” This is a park with a huge majority of long term residents. Our immediate neighbor has a dog which she lets out on a leash to do its business. She cleans up the messes about once a week. Guess where the dog leaves its deposits – at the edge of its range, which is right next to my rig. I have to watch for land mines whenever I go out to drain my tanks. Not fun! “Dogs and cats must be on a leash at all times while outside your RV.” There are lots of cats that roam around who belong to the residents. There are two in the site two spaces from me. One went into heat and we were kept awake at night by the howling. Both of them spray all around to mark their territory. I have seen them spray the neighbor’s folding camp chairs, their steps and the lawn sign that they put out. They also spray the utility posts. Yuk! I have seen the cats stalk the many birds that are around too. Speaking of birds, there is a parrot at a rig two rows away from me. The owner puts it outside in a cage every day where it calls and whistles all day long. We can easily hear it inside our rig with the doors closed. I can imagine what it would be like if we were parked next door! The managers allow this but would not allow a dog to howl and whine outside every day. Why is this allowed? “No storage of any type on your lot, only patio furniture allowed.” There are sites with large Rubbermaid storage sheds immediately behind or beside the RV. This is very unsightly. “RVs: Only modern, fully self-contained RVs are allowed.” “All autos must be registered with the Office, in good working order and with current tags.” There is a fifth wheel trailer whose license expired in 1999 and a very old Wanderlodge whose license tags expired in 1998. The Wanderlodge has terrible paint and a flat tire. “No lubrications, oil changes, fabrication, body work, painting, etc., on site, except by professional mobile repair companies…” There is also a trailer that looks older than the trailer in the movie Long, Long Trailer parked in the park. One weekend the owners spray painted the entire outside of the trailer while it was 25 feet from a beautiful late model Hitch Hiker fifth wheel. The wind was blowing that day too. The park manager drove by while they were doing this and did not stop them. I sure would not have wanted to be parked next to them while this was going on! The rules which are strictly enforced are the parking rules. There are only about 5 overflow parking sites for the entire park. We had a service mechanic come by and install a satellite dish for us. I moved my car to a site next door which had been vacant for two months! The manager came by and told me to move the car. Another time, my sister came by to show me her new car. She parked behind my rig where she was partly into the road. We were standing there by the car talking when the manager came by again and said she had to move the car. The road area is wide enough that RVs can get by anyway. There is just no tolerance for special circumstances that come up and no where to park the extra cars. This park is unusual in that there is a charge for the cable TV and the Wi-Fi is free. We signed up for the cable TV because we didn’t have our dish yet. The signal quality was terrible! I could get a much better signal with my bat wing antenna than over the cable connection. I complained to the management and they came down with a 13’ Daewoo TV and set it on the utility post. The screen was terribly dusty and they plugged it in and got a picture. Then they said the problem was within my rig. I have a 2007 motorhome and had just moved here from another park where the TV worked just fine. This is a rip-off! The Wi-Fi was down for over 24 hours one time and a week another time! This is a major problem for full-timers who do on-line banking! Now that I have my own TV and Internet dish I don’t have to rely on the park for service. By the way, be sure that you put your sewer hose on a hose support that keeps it above the ground and slopes down to the drain. They are very strict about this. While Portland has some of the best water in the nation, it appears that this park has well water with lots of minerals. The sprinkler system that waters the grass hits the side of the rigs and leaves white water spots as high as the middle of the side hatches on our RV. These do wipe off but they are annoying. Well, that about summarizes my experience with Portland Fairview RV Park. It would be a decent park with different managers. The noise of the trains and airplanes could be tolerated if the managers were more consistent in enforcing the rules. We are full-timing and have relatives in the Portland area. We will be returning every year but will not return to this park. There are several others that will get our business instead. I have sent a copy of this summary to the managers so that they can be made aware that their attitudes will affect their business. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed for 2 months. Rate is monthly divided by 31. I agree with most reviewers. Park is well maintained and clean although some long term units are well past their prime. Staff was inconsistent, nice some days, cold others. Required background check for monthly campers is expensive ,$60 for my wife and I, and annoying. It's also of questionable value as I had the first theft in 40 years of camping while here. That experience was enough to make me hesitant to return. I assume there have been past problems and the background check is an attempt to control them. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had found this park satisfactory on a prior visit. However, when we arrived, the office was in chaos and we had to wait for at least half an hour to check in. Our site was very unlevel and the CATV did not work. The free WiFi was very good, though, and the landscaping was beautiful, with rhododendrons and azaleas blooming all around. Due to the high price and unlevel sites, we would not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The general appearance of the park is clean and well kept, the year 'round residents keep their spaces nicely. The turns are tight, so we made sure to set ourselves up with plenty of room to make the corners. We stayed there in December 2006, and also in May/June 2006. We dealt with a lady named Sharon in the office both times. She was very helpful and quite pleasant to deal with. The pool was not heated when we were there, and is only open Memorial day to Labor day. The hot tub was open seven days a week (closing early on Sundays)in May/June, in December the hot tub was only open 5pm to 9pm, Monday through Saturday. The playground area is not well kept. It is in desperate need of wood chips. There were heavy east winds in December, and the trees are prone to blowing over. There are a number of sites with missing trees and fresh marks of uprooting. The park will not accept any liability for damage done to vehicles. Extra parking is at a premium, if visitors can't fit their vehicles in your site, (literally) then they must walk from one of only two areas for visitor parking. This can be some distance. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park in the eastern suburbs of Portland. Large, level spaces, wide roads, well places hookups. There is significant road noise on the upper level of the park, and there are train tracks at the back of the lower level of the park. Not many trains came through during the four days we were there, but all came through in the middle of the night. The wifi isn't free, so we didn't use it. The park is well maintained and landscaped, and although there is a significant percentage of permanent residents, it's a still a very nice place. Fairly per friendly too. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a good park with overnighters parked on the upper level farthest from the noise of frequent trains. Sites are paved and mostly level but roads are somewhat narrow with tight turns. This wasn't our first stay but on previous trips we didn't hook up the tow vehicle until we were on a straightaway. With our big rig that is the best decision for us and we made the mistake this past trip of not sticking to what worked in the past. Also, WiFi wasn't mentioned at check-in and I forgot to ask. But my signal showed the service is RV Access and past experience required the customer to register with them and pay per 24 hour period at about $5. I opted not to use the WiFi that one night stay because I knew the next Park offered it free! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were on the lower level near the railroad tracks. This place is loud when the train comes through. There are a lot of people that are permanent at this park. The full time people have a lot of stuff outside their trailer/motorhomes. The staff was nice. The pool was ice cold even in July when the temperature was over 100 degrees out. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at the park for 3 months. This park is very well kept with a very clean pool and hot tub, but they are not in the same location. Restrooms are old but kept clean daily. The laundry is excellent. The park is on a flight path. It is also close to a railroad track, but neither the trains nor the planes bothered us. Management is strict but we had no problem as we follow the rules. Washing both rigs and vehicles is allowed and encouraged. Cable is an extra charge, but WiFi is free as of 10/09/06. A background check (fee charged) is completed on anyone staying a month or more. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The "cleanup crusade" mentioned by another review must have worked, because this park was spotlessly clean. We stayed up near the front entrance where the managers are, and most of those spots seemed to be short-timers like us. This park is not in beautiful nature, but it's a good base of operations for seeing Portland (though the traffic at rush hour is horrid both ways--avoid peak hours) and the various falls along the Columbia River. The park reminded us of a brand new tract home subdivision--which is much nicer than reminding you of a trailer park. The pool was nice, and the noise from the street wasn't bad (though I'd suggest asking for a site away from the street, as it's busy). We'd stay here again assuming we couldn't find a park that had high ratings AND natural beauty. The Wi-Fi isn't free, FYI. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice landscaped park. Excellent crew that helped us at our every whim. Enjoyed our stay even though we could not stay more then 1 week. The new managers introduced themselves to us and asked us to drive and see the whole park since it is quit large. We had heard from others that this park has been cleaned up from past tenants who had a lot of stuff outside rigs. We thought the whole park was neat and clean. Kudos to the staff!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Im very disappointed with my stay at this park. I came in late, we parked our RV and before we could get out to hook up and go pay in nite drop, the manager was knocking on our door demanding we go pay this instant. I did not mind that but his tone of accussing us of freeloading was not appreciated. The park is pretty but restrooms were not in good shape (dirty). The office staff is very friendly and helpful. I would think twice about staying there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have visited this park many times through out the years and this year was truly our best visit ever..The Park is very beautiful, manicured lawns,helpful and very friendly staff that go out of their way to make sure our needs are tended to..They allowed us to wash our RV on site and after the road trip we had it needed it..My family and I will be back when we visit Oregon again.. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nicely landscaped, terraced park like setting, with duck pond. Friendly, helpful staff. Some train and traffic noise, but not detracting from the ambiance. Park is subject to strong winter east winds. Many residents, some with minor accumulation of clutter, i.e. freezers and refrigerators. Mgmt. was starting a cleanup crusade. Mgmt. requires $35 background check for those staying a month or longer. Dogs must be registered including current veterinary info. Rent $380/month plus tax, metered electricity. WiFi through RVAccess for $39.95/month. Shorter periods of time can be purchased. We lived there full time from mid Nov. 2005 to mid Jan. 2006. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Under new management. Direct bus route to Downtown. The park is very clean. I would give it a 10 except for the train noise. The park is next to a train track that has about 25 trains a day starting at 4 am and ending at 11:30 pm. We had to leave early from sleep deprivation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Friendly staff, clean, attractive, and the hot tub (spa) was hot & refreshing. Great place to use as a jump-off point for US 30 waterfalls tour and downtown Portland. The only negatives: too many sites, a little crowded, and not enough trees for me. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a large well maintained park on three levels. The two top levels are short term sites. The lower level has seasonal/permanent sites. Roads and sites are paved. It is well landscaped with trees and flowers. Although the trees are trimmed, some are close enough to sites so that the small branches pose a problem when extending slides. WiFi was available for $5 per day which I didn't pay. When I turned on my computer, I didn't see a signal at all, so don't know how well it works. The park is between a busy street and a railroad track, so it is rather noisy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Super RV park, very clean, great management as well. We had strong Wifi, a real asset since we were there on an extended business trip. No pet areas as such, but very pet friendly if you pick up after your dogs. Well kept with lots of grass and pretty flowers. The full time residents take pride in their spots and it really shows. There is a bit of airport noise, but not overwhelming. A good location for both Portland and the Colombia River attractions. This will be our 'home' whenever we are in Portland from now on!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park, convenient location to Portland. There is a train line nearby but since the park is so big you can get a site where you can barely hear it. Nicely landscaped and clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There's some railroad traffic to contend with, but overall, this is a quiet, comfortable park with concrete pads, grass and picnic table at every site, some with mature trees, no obstacles for big rigs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This a very large park with nicely terraced and landscaped sections with all the amenities. I stay here everytime I visit Portland. Near the Gorge and Mt. Hood. Easy I84 access. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
