Armstrong Campground


Area Status: Closed

CLOSED DUE TO RIVERSIDE FIRE

Armstrong Campground is a small but beautiful place to camp, right on the edge of the Clackamas Wild and Scenic River. The river flows right by spacious, lush, family-friendly campsites, giving visitors plenty of access to the river, as well as to the surrounding forest.

Firewood may be available to purchase at a nearby campground.
