Roamer Sites - Sandy, OR

What a fantastic place for camping. It is seriously the best spot ever. Glamping in the rain? Great prices, heated everything including bathrooms and showers. Firewood that’s dry and freely available, Yeap, coolest people ever for check in? Yeap!! It’s simply the best place for easy camping

We recently stayed at this camp and want to share an honest, balanced review. The camp is well thought out and visually beautiful, nestled in a forest next to a really impressive action sports school for kids. Having access to the school’s amenities like the skatepark, gym, and bike trails when not in use was a unique and fun bonus. Jim, the host, was friendly, helpful, and clearly cares about the space.

The canvas tents are set up in a large communal circle. While the tents themselves felt private, you are very close to your neighbors, and it’s a full communal experience. We appreciated the heaters and heated mattress pads, which made the cold nights more comfortable.

However, a few things didn’t meet our expectations. The tents, while clean inside, had visible mold/mildew on the canvas walls—understandable in a damp forest for NULL/night, but still off-putting. The beds were also quite hard. Quiet hours start at 10PM, but noise carried easily and other guests stayed up talking around the fire until 2AM, which made sleeping difficult. Highway noise was also present.

The biggest challenge for us was dog management. We chose this place because of the leash rules, as our senior dog needs space. Unfortunately, several dogs were off-leash or poorly managed, including one from a neighboring tent whose long tie-out let them reach our tent, and other dogs completely off leash and uncontrolled by owners who approached our leashed dog. This made our stay more stressful than we hoped.

There are only two single-use bathrooms for the whole camp. They weren’t as clean as we would’ve liked, and one was out of paper towels for a full day, with others’ personal items left behind in both.

Overall, it met our basic needs. The gated access made us feel comfortable leaving bikes unattended, and the proximity to the Sandy Ridge trail system was a plus. But the close communal setup and lack of rule enforcement made it clear this style of camping isn’t the right fit for us.

Absolutely the best weekend getaway I’ve ever had was here. My partner and I skate, so we decided to rent a tent for two days in the roamer sites and skate the B.O. B. The rates are BEYOND reasonable, it’s winter but the tent stayed warm, dry and cozy even when it was below freezing outside at night, and the heated bathroom/showering rooms were PERFECT. It was too wet to skate the concrete jungle, so you better believe we will be coming back on a dry weekend because it looks incredible. The B. O. B. was an absolute gem, hands down the best indoor skatepark anywhere in the NW, to have it to ourselves was unbelievable. I am so stoked to have found this place, thank you Jim for a magical experience!!

Outstanding campground to stay near the base of mount hood. Great gravel spots to park your Van/truck camper/rv. Reliable electric hook ups, bathrooms and showers are cleaned daily, great cell service, campground also has guest Wi-Fi.

There are awesome trails to hike/mountain bike right in the back of the campground. Very dog friendly, my pup Louie loved the hikes and open grass field to play fetch in!

Fitness center has everything you need to get a good workout in.

Jim was an awesome host, very helpful and always friendly! His trusty side kick Goldie was definitely a bonus.

I will definitely stay here again when I’m in the area!

My husband and I loved our weekend getaway here!! Unique campground located in a cute little mountain town. We enjoyed well maintained sites, reliable electric for our van, clean bathrooms, and hot showers!!! During designated hours we even had access to the skatepark, mountain bike trails, and fitness center which was awesome. Looking forward to coming back in the future!
