Metzler Park and Campground Clackamas County - Park in Estacada - 24526 S Metzler Park Rd, USA

Absolutely love this hidden gem 40 minutes from Portland! Beautiful and peaceful, a great place for the whole family. Have been camping here for over 20 years and it’s perfect for a day trip or tent and RV set ups. The kids and adults alike love the play ground, big open grassy fields, grass and sand volleyball, creek walks, hiking, riding bikes and the swimming hole. Reservation fill up quick so plan to book in advance.

Great campground with lots to do. Sports fields, baseball diamond, playground and hiking trails. We took Boy Scouts there for a weekend campout and had a blast.

This is my favorite campground in my area. We absolutely love the old growth forest with massive amounts of ferns and wild flowers. We also love the swimming hole, swinging bridge, and hiking there in general. The flora and fauna is gorgeous! My favorite thing though is that you aren't camping right on top of your neighbors.

So lovely! We were actually only visitors to the campsite of some friends of ours. It was an easy detour from the Mt Hood scenic drive, and just as easy on the eyes. I like how the individual camping sites are nicely separated by the trees and foilage. Parking was easy for two vehicles near the two tents pur friends had set up for themselves and their kids. From the camp it was an easy wall across a cute bridge and through the area where I took the pictures I've posted here. The path is easy to walk along, and it takes you to a clean, lazy, and shallow stream where some people were taking a dip while others we catching crayfish with their hands or simply enjoying the scene from the banks. We were told that this area can be crowded, but we nearly had the area to ourselves when we walked out there. The friends we visited are locals to the Portland area. It's a drive out to this spot, but they find it a worthwhile spot to go and grill up some bratwurst and asparagus while the kids play with the dog or run a Dungeons and Dragons game. Very nearby is a spacious park with a basketball goal and also a frisbee golf course. I think this place is great, especially for families.

Really great place & family friendly. Camp rangers are extremely friendly & helpful.. Lots to do well kept showers & bathrooms. The partial hookups for tent sites are really close together. Wouldn't recommend unless you don't mind lack of privacy. The rest of the camp sites have better privacy larger areas as well just no partial hookup ( electric & running water on designated camping lot) can't wait to go back!

Had the best camping trip in the primitive spots they just opened! Can't recommend this spot more. Especially if you have kids. Nearest store is 10 minutes out. My friend was able to camp and go to work in Clackamas every morning because of the distance to town. But we felt like we were hours away from civilization. And amazing staff here!!💕

Beautiful place. Good spacing between sites so you can hold a family event and not be pestered by (or bother) other people trying to have a nice quiet day. Large green spaces great for larger groups. Nice hiking trails, one leading to a swimming hole that looks fun for the warmer months. Horse shoes at the gate for the game sites, we had a little camp fire going. It was really fun.

This is definitely a great family friendly park tp hangout and bring friends to play volleyball, do kickball, go camping at, they have a 3 1/2 foot spot for getting in a creek that is right in the park. Trees surrounding everywhere
