Oxbow Regional Park Campground
Oxbow Regional Park is along the Sandy River a few miles from the Columbia River Gorge east of Portland. The park is operated by Metro Regional Parks and Greenspaces. Visitors to the 1,200-acre park enjoy fishing, non-motorized boating, and swimming in the Sandy River. Fifteen miles of hiking trails wind through park. Many come to the park during a spectacle of the salmon run in the fall. The park includes a wonderful playground.
