Help w/ campgrounds in OR.???!!!!?

My boyfriend and I are looking for camp sites (tent camping) in OR. They need to be affordable, have restroom facilities, showers (would be nice but not mandatory), a fire pit, and most of all FUN!! We are considering Loon Lake Recreation Center, Rogue River, or Mt. Hood…are these any good?? Any suggestions on specific campgrounds would be appreciated! Thanks! )

I have done tons of camping in Oregon. The only public camp grounds that I have stayed at that has every thing you are asking for and I can say anything about from experience is these. Cove Palisades State Park in Central Oregon. Fort Steven’s State Park near Astoria, and Barview Jetty County Park outside of Tillamook. All of my camping experience in or around Mount Hood has been off the beaten path and more “primitive”

The three above are all tremendously fun. All three have everything you are asking for, including showers. My personal favorite is the one at Barview Jetty. Here is why. I am a fishermen and the fishing is good here. You can catch various types of fish from the jetty. You can even buy a device that attaches to you fishing pole to catch crab. I would make a seafood feast of fish and crab at the end of the day for dinner. They have fish cleaning stations here that make it easy to do. Just up the road from the campground (walking distance) is a small store where you can buy bait, beer and even pizza! I will post links for all three that tell you more specifics about them, what there is to do, how much they cost, etc. Have fun!
