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 location east of Portland and the 40 acre park was wonderful. We ran our dog out there everyday! Thank you! Lyndsy was a great communicator.

Full hookup in a safe neighborhood. Great place to stay close to Portland. The park was great for daily walks with our dogs. Thanks Lyndsy!

Lyndsey's place was awesome! She was very kind and helpful and her kids were very friendly and made friends with our kids. The 40 acres in the back was beautiful. It was nice to go for a walk with my daughter and pick blackberries.

The property is in a nice suburban neighborhood which was convenient for us to visit extended family. We biked from there several places. Lindsey and her family are very welcoming. Great place, we stayed there 3 nights in our van and loved the full hookup as well as access to the park.

Easy to get to, quiet neighborhood and worked great for us to have an easy spot to drop in and sleep for the night, then be on our way the next morning. We were on our way to the coast and needed an easy stop over spot.
