The RV site backs up to Southwest Community Park, 41.9 acres, an undeveloped nature park in the Southwest Gresham Neighborhood (East Portland). The Park is partially wooded and slopes east towards 19 acres of Fairview Creek Headwaters. Views include Grant and Jenne Buttes and Mt. St. Helens. The Park contains a large Western Red Cedar/Mixed Tree Grove and a Douglas Fir Grove, both of which are identified on the City’s significant tree list. The Park provides valuable wildlife and fish habitat, and will be preserved, protected and enhanced as part of the City’s conservation effort. Learn more about this land: This is a great neighborhood spot to park with full amenities just outside of Portland, while having immediate access to 40 wooded acres with walking path and .7 mi to the Springwater Trail for biking/running. 25 mins to downtown Portland; Easy day trips that are ~30 minutes drive to Waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge (Bridal Veil, Multnomah Falls) or under an hour to Mt. Hood for time in the snow! Fenced in backyard for any of your 4-legged friends to stretch. Gas fire pit, gas grill and patio table + lounge chairs are all open for sharing. Our previous homeowner had a trailer and set up this nice pad with built in hookups. We have grandparents with a 27' RV that come visit a few weekends a year, but we would love to share this corner of the woods with others looking for an accessible home base to access Portland/Mt. Hood/Gorge +. Note: Our driveway entry is steep, but navigable. We limit the trailer/RV length to 27' in order to avoid bottoming out. Novice trailer drivers may want to avoid. For quick bearings if you are booking while on the road, we are located just off 26 (Powell), 5 miles from I-205 or 11 miles from I-5 via the Ross Island Bridge. If you are traveling along I-84, we are 4 miles south from the exit.This is a great, safe neighborhood spot to park with full amenities (electric/water/waste/wifi) just outside of Portland, while having immediate access to 40 wooded acres with walking path and .7 mi to the Springwater Trail for biking/running. 25 mins to downtown Portland; Easy day trips that are ~30 minutes drive to Waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge (Bridal Veil, Multnomah Falls) or under an hour to Mt.

Great RV parking and host.

Very quiet neighborhood, great RV parking with full hook up, and great host. I had a restful night of sleep and pouring rain soothing sound. Would stay again on my next visit to the area. Beautiful walking and bike trail from back yard.

It's a great place to stay. It's in a beautiful location. It's very pet-friendly. It's located in a quiet neighborhood. Park behind Lyndsy's, is a great place to walk your dogs. We have two large dogs they love the place. All the family members were pet-friendly. We felt very comfortable at Lyndsy's. Will stay again.

Wonderful home away from home! Camper pad is clean, amble & well accessed for electric, water & sewage. Small gated yard that housed our large labs during the day. The “back 40” was just beyond & we all enjoyed our walks! The best part is Lyndsy’s lovely family. They were so welcoming and her girls took great care to play every day with our dogs to gleeful exhaustion! We would definitely recommend & stay again!

We had a great time exploring the back 40. The Wi-Fi was strong so I could still work during the day. Host was very accommodating! Thank you!

Lyndsy was super friendly and inviting. They have a beautiful home backing up to acreage. Sadly it was raining the whole time so we couldn’t really enjoy it, but we did enjoy the quiet surroundings nonetheless. Would definitely go back again!
