The Oregon is parks system is one of the best in the country. We especially like the ones in the Columbia Gorge along the river, our Favorites are, Ainsworth near Troutdale and Memaloose Island near the Dalles. Both have full hookups but need reservations to ensure you get one. All the info is on their web site. We stay at Mt Hood Villages campground near Bright Wood it's an hour plus drive to the Lodge and little on the expensive side but has full service and the drive down to Hood River is scenic with views of Mt Adams on the Way. Even though I was from WA and worked for the Forest Service at Mt Adams most of the campgrounds we used were Forest service and no hookups.
