This RV park met my needs. I had a site that was easy enough to get into and the park was easy enough to find. As another poster mentioned, the traffic getting there is horrendous. I would recommend trying to arrive at a time other than runs hour.
The office worker was very helpful. When I told her that I might be arriving after the office closed, she left the information taped to the office door.
They have a pool, but it wasn't opened for the season yet. I didn't use their wifi. There is a convenient shopping center nearby.
It's a good jumping off point for exploring the area. Next time, I think I'd try using the public transportation.

We don't typically stay in RV parks, but we found Portland especially unfriendly towards overnight camping. We found Jantzen Beach RV Park to be affordable at $31.50 per night with Good Sam or AAA discount, and at a very good location. Even without a car we were able to use public transit to get downtown in less than 40 minutes, with a car it is a straight shot down the thruway. Jantzen Beach itself was formerly a popular shopping destination that has apparently fallen out of favor with Portlandians, but it offers any shopping you would need without needing to leave the island.
The RV park was clean and well put together, but the sites are on top of one another without any trees or much to offer privacy. We were backed up only a few feet from the trailer behind us, which is a level of closeness that we as boondockers are very unaccustomed to.
The amenities were all nice, we used the updated laundry room, and the older showers. Did not use the pool, but it seemed like a good facility.

A previous reviewer did a pretty good job of summing up this RV Park. I'll add my own observations.
Definitely make reservations. We were here in late September and they are full. We were lucky we got a spot. Our rate is based on a weekly rate.
When entering the RV part of the campground, do not make the mistake of taking the first driveway with a green sign...that is the mobile home section. The second driveway with the green sign is what you want. Just slow down and read the signs as you approach and you should be OK.
Sites can be spacious or tight, it just depends upon where they put you. We were on top of our neighbors on both sides. The sewer hookup is located at the back of the back in sites. We had to borrow a length of sewer hose from a neighbor in order to dump our tanks.
There are lots of sites that are semi-permanent. Some are neater than others.
Over the air TV was great. We didn't try hooking up to the cable, since my DVR prefers OTA TV. The WiFi was incredibly slow. We just used the MiFi for the whole week. Verizon was 2 bars of 4G LTE.
Our biggest issue and why we won't be staying here again, is the Portland traffic. It is horrible. Our daughter lives in Beaverton and getting too and from her place was a nightmare. This is not the fault of the campground by any means. But it is why we won't be back. We'll find someplace west of Portland next time.
We tried the pool. One had a broken heater. The other was nicely heated. But it still felt chilly in 70 degree weather. We didn't stay in it long.
If you need to stay someplace north of Portland, this place will do. Just brace yourself for a lot of backups on the highways.

Our rate was a combination of a weekly rate plus a Good Sam discount for a full hookup site. This is a large park, with fairly standard sized campsites. Each site has a concrete pad for the RV with a grassy area and a picnic table alongside and a short fence on the back side with some low brush next to it for separation, many have trees. The trees were at the peak of fall colors and very pretty.
The woman in the front desk was not friendly, barely looked up when we arrived, and did not crack one smile during our registration. Not nasty or anything, but a smile would go a long way.
The cable did not work for us. They offer Tengo Internet, which was extremely slow, we did not use it either. Campfires are not allowed. The campground has restrooms, showers, a nice laundry room and a small playground. There are also a couple of swimming pools, though are only open seasonally, and were closed when we were there.
There is a mobile home area on the opposite side of the campground, and there are also seasonal and year-round residents on the RV side. The campground is well-kept and clean.
It is close to the airport so there is some airplane noise between 6am and 11pm. The airplanes flying overhead also break up the TV signal if you are watching TV. It is also near the train tracks so there is some train noise as well. We were not bothered much by the noise inside during the day, and we have a white noise/nature sounds little machine that we use at night.
We were in the back row which has access to a sidewalk behind it, across from a shopping center. There are openings from the sidewalk to some campsites, so we left our bikes on the car for extra safety. There are nice grassy areas throughout to walk doggies.
Lots of shopping nearby, including Target and a Safeway within a mile. Downtown is about 20 minutes away, and there is public transportation nearby, though we didn't use it.
