Riverside Campground
Riverside Campground is a charming and rustic campground, situated alongside the Wild and Scenic Clackamas River. It provides access to a variety of hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails and is a great place to experience nature. Following the 2020 Riverside Fire some sites don't have much shade yet, so a pop-up canopy might be handy.
Riverside Day Use & Trailhead is located within the campground, providing access to the Riverside Trail #723 (connecting to Rainbow Campground).
Riverside Campground & the adjacent trail are within the burn scar of the Riverside Fire. Be careful in burned areas. Watch out for burned trees, eroded slopes, mudslides, missing trails, or possible flash floods.
