Peoria Boat Ramp | Wild Camping

July 15th, 2023 by BoonDawg

There is a sign but they don’t bother you. Couple of other vehicles were here. They wanted to be the first one’s having fun
It’s a boat popular spot for launches & river inflatable’s. They drop in here and have cars at the other end to bring them back. They were saying it took a couple of hours to get back. Everybody was super friendly one offered to take me, but it was 99° and I have dogs. I wouldn’t swim here or plan a picnic. The table’s and the grills have seen better days. 😊
I’d stay again if I needed to.

Quiet place, clean bathroom. Slept one night without a problem. Lots of space to park.

Honestly this place saved me. It is a bit run down and some picnic tables are broken, but there is a spot which was a good for stealth camping (I’m on a bicycle) .
Nobody is using the ramp overnight!There is otherwise nothing around to camp on the willamette valley “scenic” bike ride which I started from Eugene and that goes on till Portland. I had lots of headwind and did not think that it was worth it. Many miles were just fields without much to see… and few forests to camp. The mountains were easier!

One quiet night here with only a few cars passing through. The road had quite a bit of traffic but it slowed down a lot at night. Clean toilet tables are pretty trashed.

Quiet during the night even though right next to the road. Gets busy in the morning around 7:00. Very clean pit toilet. No water. I wouldn’t even filter the River water. Old picnic tables but one or two are useable. Three vehicles used the parking lot during the night. I used a hammock but only hung it after dark. The Sheriff drove through around 5pm or 6 but didn’t even stop. No signs saying no camping. I would definitely use this site again.

As described. Comfortable one night stay in our 20’ van, no one else there overnight and some boaters arrived in the morning.

Stayed here on a Tuesday eve, very quiet for being on Peoria road. A pick up with empty boat trailer, and Subaru Outback with empty kayak rack parked when we rolled in at 8 pm ish. We made dinner and spent the night in our van. Both vehicles left a little after 9pm (curiously without water craft.
Our toilet very clean. Picnic tables beaten up and in disprepair, clean trash bin, and dense overgrowth covering short loop to boat ramp. River slow and obscured by overgrowth.
No “no camping” or no “overnighting” notices. Slept well!!

Stayed here one night with no problems, there were a few people camped out in tents. Felt safe the whole time, toilet works but bit hand sanitizer. Light flow of traffic until the late evening, but otherwise slept like a baby

This spot has several parking for larger rigs as well as picnic tables and a few outdoor grills. it also has a basic toilet. No water and power here. we stayed one night here and had no trouble. no signs saying no overnight camping. Mild traffic noise but not a lot of cars overnight.

We ended up staying 3 nights and though the Linn County Sheriff's Deputies were through everyday we never had an issue.
