Do your kids love camping as much as mine do?! I’ve been on the hunt for the best kid-friendly campgrounds in Oregon for a while, and found them!

Kid-Friendly Campgrounds in Oregon
Spring has arrived here and brought with it some awesome weather. This weather, of course, has me thinking about summer and all of the fun that it will bring with it. For us, that means lots and lots of camping. We love camping in this family and as of early May already had 3 different camping trips planned for late spring, early summer. We have quite a few favorite kid-friendly campgrounds that we love throughout this great state of Oregon that we love so much!
Our camping trips tend to be very focused. As in, though we like to be one with nature, we also like to make sure we actually have something to do while we camp. Before we had children, my husband and I liked to go camping at OHV campgrounds and ride dirt bikes and ATV’s, or go boating with friends.
Since having kids, many of our camping trips have been based solely on how kid-friendly the campground is and it has served us well because we have had lots of fun over the years staying at some of the top campgrounds in Oregon for families.
If you are looking for some good ideas on where to stay, I highly recommend checking out this list of the best campgrounds in Oregon.
Camp Dakota
We love to yurt camp with our kids (it means less stuff to pack with us) and Camp Dakota has some awesome yurts to rent! They also have teepees to rent, too. Other kid-friendly amenities include zip lines, paintball, rock climbing, gold panning, disc golf, pizza delivery, treasure hunting, and more.
Loon Lake Resort
Our family loves to go camping on Loon Lake. While they don’t have an in-ground swimming pool, they do have a sandy beach along the lake with a roped off area just for swimming. They actually trucked the sand in for this and it turned out wonderfully!
The lake is not too cold and the area roped off for swimming doesn’t get too deep. At the resort, you will also find paddle boat rentals, a volleyball court, a cafe, a store, free wifi, an ice cream stand and more. You are also quite close to Florence so the beach isn’t too far away. Loon Lake Resort is definitely one of the best camping spots for families.
Astoria / Warrenton / Seaside KOA Resort
This KOA resort isn’t your typical KOA! It is located near Fort Clatsop for all of the Lewis and Clark enthusiast folks. It is near the beach and it has so many kid-friendly features that it may be hard to fit them all in a weekend. Here you will find 2 pools (1 indoor and 1 outdoor), a mini-golf course, cable tv, free wifi, bike rentals, Jumping Pillow, playgrounds, an activities building which houses movies, an arcade and game room, basketball court, and more.
Pacific City RV & Camping Resort
The Pacific City RV & Camping Resort features awesome, kid-friendly amenities such as a swimming pool, playgrounds, game room, basketball, mini-golf, easy beach access and more. Definitely some of the best camping in Oregon!
Bend/Sisters Garden RV Resort
If you have never been to Sisters before, this is a great way to experience it for the first time. The Bend/Sisters Garden RV Resort features its own fishing pond, a playground, miniature golf course as well as a pool and spa. Sisters itself is a very kid-friendly destination in itself. Oh, and don’t forget to visit Sister’s Bakery while you are there. Yum!
Emigrant Lake
Emigrant Lake in Ashland is one of the best family camping spots in the state! The lake itself is great for boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding and more, but the highlight here for the kids is the 280-foot twin flume water slide! It’s incredibly reasonably priced too. $7 for an hour and a half of water sliding fun. Book your camping trip at Emigrant Lake RV Park or Oak Slope Campground.
Whalers Rest RV & Camping Resort
If you are camping at the beach or looking for the best camping near the Oregon Coast, be sure to check out Whalers Rest RV & Camping Resort! Here you will find fun, kid-friendly amenities such as a pool, clubhouse, game room, disc golf, mini golf, and more.
Beverly Beach Campground
Just miles from Newport and the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the Beverly Beach Campground is a favorite for many campers. This campground doesn’t feature any swimming pools or other fancy amenities, but there is still plenty for the kids to do to have fun. You will find a playground, one of my favorite beaches on the Oregon Coast which is perfect for kite flying, sandcastle building, hiking trails, bike trails, visitor information center, and more!
Wallowa Lake State Park
The Wallowa Lake State Park Campground is a great place to stay if you are interested in exploring the Wallowa Mountains. When you are not out exploring nature’s wonderland all around you, you will find some great kid-friendly amenities at this campground like a playground, an amphitheater, events, and even a Junior Ranger program.
Silver Falls Campground
If you feel like visiting one of Oregon’s largest parks, Silver Falls Campground is for you! Here you will find kid-friendly amenities such as bike paths, miles of hiking trails featuring 7 different waterfalls, a 177-foot wide waterfall that you can walk behind, playground, a swimming area, an amphitheater, horse trails and more!
