Barton
Park
Barton Park is located just off of Hwy. 224, approximately
9.8 miles east of Clackamas on the Clackamas River.
The playground will keep your youngsters entertained for hours. An exciting game of softball, volleyball or horseshoes is perfect.
Fishing is another popular pastime. Folks will tell you that Barton Park is one of the best sites on the mid-Clackamas. Steelhead, trout and salmon could easily be the highlight of your campsite feast tonight.
Rafting is very popular. Many enjoy the adventurous trip starting about 6 miles upriver at McIver Park. The boat ramp provides excellent river access. Others choose to start at Barton for about a 5 mile journey to Carver Park. The Clackamas River is exceptionally beautiful and the rapids are mild enough for rafters of all abilities.
Barton offers 98 reservable campsites with all the comforts of a home away from home. The covered picnic shelter in Barton East campground is reservable for campers only in four-hour blocks. Please see the Camp Host or Ranger upon arrival for reservations, fees and deposits.
