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.

Lyndsay's campsite offers a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere with full hookups, making it ideal for RV travelers. The hosts, Lyndsay and her family, are repeatedly praised for their warmth and hospitality, contributing to a comfortable stay for guests. The location is appreciated for its quiet neighborhood and the adjacent park, which provides ample space for dog walking and relaxing strolls. Some guests noted the driveway's slope as challenging but manageable, and the overall experience at this site is overwhelmingly positive and accommodating.

Friendly Hosts Abundant Green Space

8 m travel trailer

Lyndsay's set up is amazing. She and her husband are great hosts, very kind and caring and friendly. The driveway was ample for our 27 ft bumper and our tow vehicle. All you services; electric, dump and water are conveniently located ( make sure you have an extension for your black water hose, we needed a longer run because of where our tank is). The neighborhood is so peaceful and you have acreage in the back with a hiking trail where we walked our dogs. This is one of the best HC we have stayed.

The Back 40 was a great spot. Tall trees, lots of birds, blueberries at our door, and pretty quiet for a residential area. Easy to walk our dog in the neighborhood or in the field behind the house. Lyndsy was a great host, even meeting to show us around when we were 30 minutes past check in. No issues with navigating the driveway with our 21 ft campervan. Would stay again & recommend to others :)

Lyndsy was a very warm and gracious host! Her lot had everything we needed! Nestled to the side of the house we felt we could relax and have privacy. There is also a lovely path for walking behind her home for an evening walk!

This is our second visit to the back 40. It was wonderful to be welcomed last minute by Lyndsy. The site is ample for our over truck camper and a big plus is a place for our labs. Beyond the comfortable fenced yard are lovely forested acres to enjoy an easy walk! We’ll be back! ;)

Comfortable, quiet and safe.

8 m fifth wheel

The hosts Lyndsy and Jonathan were warm and welcoming. The space was sufficient for our needs. It was private and quiet. Easy access to the major highways into Portland and Washington. It's a great jumping off point for sightseeing. It was challenging to back our 27' 5th wheel down the slope. Once there it was perfect. Best for small trailers, campers and motorhomes. Their backyard has a great BBQ they allowed us to use and the park behind is wonderful for an after-dinner walk.

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!

Had a very nice stay and will be back. Nice and quiet neighborhood and a great space for a small to mid sized RV or trailer. Only took a few minutes to navigate the driveway with wood blocks provided as other campers have noted. Not a problem at all. Full connections were great! I look forward to staying again.

Great place to stay! Very quiet neighborhood. Lyndsy and family were very welcoming and let my dog play in their fenced backyard. We walked in the 40 acre park daily! Driveway was steep, but fairly easy to navigate our 19 ft travel trailer with the help of the wood blocks. Loved having full hookups in town. Close to freeway.

This was a great spot to camp! The hosts were super kind and welcoming. Directions were easy to follow and I lloved that my dog could go off leash in the backyard. There is also adjacent land that has trails to explore & blackberries!! So wonderful.
