Clackamette is really nice. Link
It's a little park owned by Oregon City, and it's right on the Willamette, on McLoughlin just off I-205, and twenty minutes to downtown Portland. (except at rush hour.) Twenty bucks a night! Sites have water, power, no sewer (but there's a dump). They don't take reservations, though...
Also...Clackamette's only a couple of miles from Oaks Park, a must-do destination for families. Link to Oaks Park. That's a Portland Institution (opened in 1905)- a real old-fashioned family amusement park, complete with original carousel and wood floored roller rink.
And it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to go there!
