    Portland, OR Looking For Suggestions On a RV CG

    My wife has just accepted her next Travel Nurse assignment in Portland, OR. Understanding traffic is really bad there, we are looking to get a CG as close to the office she will begin her days. We found 2- that are under 10-miles, Jantzen Beach RV Park & Columbia River RV Park. Looking at reviews on RV Park Reviews it looks like the only negative is since they are close to the airport it gets noisy. Other parks I noticed report not very promising reviews or are over 15 miles away. Looking for any information on these two RV parks, or any other suggestions we have missed. For those who may be familiar with streets in Portland the office is located in the 2700 block of NW Vaughn St. Thx.

    I’ve stayed at Jansen beach. It’s not bad but you will have airplanes overhead. It never bothered me but it can be bothersome if you’re a light sleeper. Give the work location I don’t think there are a ton of choices if you want to be close. And yes the traffic is horrible unless you can commute in the off hours.

    I worked in that vicinity and lived in the Sherwood area back in the 1990's. Traffic was becoming a major headache then, and I can't imagine it's much better. I used to have a "shortcut" through Washington Park that I'd use when I-5 was stopped and 26 was backed up, which made it pretty fast to get to the Beaverton area. The City of Portland appears to have blocked it off now, but Burnside should be an option.

    There aren't many great options for RV living and commuting to that area. The parks you listed are going to be the closest.

    There is a little spot in downtown Beaverton that's very easy to overlook, but MIGHT have an RV space. It's http://mobilehomecorral.com/ Using Burnside to come down "the back way" into Beaverton (to Barnes and down 217, or even SW Skyline to Canyon Road) would give some options.

    I've never stayed there, but we are thinking about taking a vacation back there in a year or two and I've been researching parks, that's how I found it.

    There is also Roamers Rest near King City https://roamersrestrvpark.com/ Never stayed there, but drove past it often on my way to work.

    http://www.pheasantridge.com/ is down in Wilsonville. I-5 straight up to Portland, but traffic will be an issue. I think those are all of the parks in the area.

    I did find one other in the Portland area while Google mapping. It's a bit out there, but might be a possibility.
