Parks & Campgrounds

Find your new favorite spot to spend a day or a weekend at one of PGE’s many parks and campgrounds.

We love the outdoors as much as you do

Oregon is a dream location for the outdoor enthusiast, and a great way to explore the beauty of the Northwest is at one of PGE's parks or campgrounds. From beautiful views to well-maintained trails, family-friendly programs to accessible features, PGE parks have something for everyone, whether it’s your first time visiting or your 50th.

Featured: Discover two of our hidden gems

For a family-friendly camping adventure with a touch of luxury, explore our best-kept secrets. Promontory Park, nestled on a ridge near the scenic Upper Clackamas River, provides a charming haven ideal for traditional tent camping. Meanwhile, Pelton Park, tucked into a canyon near Madras, serves as an oasis with electric sites best suited to RVs and camper vans. Both parks offer showers and marinas, affording a relaxing getaway.

Pelton Park

Pelton Park is a vacationer’s paradise where you can boat, camp, fish, view wildlife and relax.

Clackamas River Access Sites

A wild and scenic river

The Clackamas River corridor is a mecca for outdoor recreation just outside of Portland. Along its banks you can find plenty of paddling, hiking, bicycling and camping. And from our river access sites, you can launch your watercraft for up to 13 miles of class II-IV whitewater rapids, take in the canyon’s grand views or just enjoy the mountain-fed waters of the Wild and Scenic Upper Clackamas.
