Farewell Bend State Recreation Area Campground

Campsite was nice and being close the river was cool. Unfortunately the campground was infested with mosquitoes. They do have a warning on the reservation site that there might be mosquitoes but this was 100s. We could not sit outside and if we had planned on staying more than one night we would have left early. They were watering the lawn the whole time we were there too, I'm sure that didn't help.

Nice campground, good dog walking areas. Toilets, showers, water, power, trash available. Boating and fishing access. Loaded with snakes in the spring.

In mid October almost no one here and very nice with room between campsites.

Nice place. Goat heads are too prevalent. Desperately needs water and weeds sprayed. Staff super friendly.

Well-kept state park. No playground for kids. Dog park. Very quiet. Right on the highway but it’s not loud at all. Very many mosquitos, like swarms of them. Site was very flat and easy to park our 23’ camper. Small trails good enough for a stroll but not long enough for a hike.

As usual another great Oregon State Campground. Appears to be well maintained and clean plus right on the Snake River.

Conveniently located off the highway if you are traveling.

The spots are pretty close together, A and C loops are very open with no privacy. The B loop has some trees and bushes between the sites which makes it a little more inviting. The A loop is the closest to the road.

We had reserved a spot in C loop with a view of the water but it was so windy when we got there the site was not very comfortable. The camp host graciously let us move up to B loop, since it wasn’t very busy mid-week. Thank goodness we did, it was the windiest night I’ve ever experienced camping.

Sites have electric and water. They have dishwashing water waste stations conveniently thought the campground. The showers are free, had one cold because the water would not warm up. But the men’s shower room had warm showers after a bit of time to heat up.

The bathrooms and showers were clean.

Only the Brownlee loop was open in mid-March. There were plenty of sites to choose from with great views of the river. The water was of at sites, but the sites and bathrooms were good.

Nice campground, clean bathrooms and showers.Friendly people beautiful views. Website for reservations was difficult. You seem to have some glitches

We have stayed many times and loved it. But now the place had about seven campers. Most sites had reserved stickers on them . The few remaining had signs say check on line. Our cellular service was too weak to check on line sadly. All the best riverfront sites over by the huts said reserved which I believe translates to out of service. There's normally electricity, water and a picnic table at these sites. A fire swept by the boundary of the park and partly through it to the river.

We planned to stop here on a let of our trip and found the park closed. Their website explains that there is an issue with the water system. Check their website before heading out there.

I like this campground, it's clean, quiet and peaceful though close to the freeway. Shower and restrooms are clean. Close to the water as well.

We've seen this campground from afar while traveling on I-84 through Oregon.  Decided to make it our first stopover on our fall road trip.

Peaceful campground on the Snake River and quiet in late September, mid-week.  Worked well for us.  Water & Electric allowed us to travel light our first day.  We'd stay again.

Clean and quiet campground right on Snake River.

I'm glad this camp ground was open, only 4 other Camper here at this time, no water but that was no problem

Very nice park and sites are pretty well spaced. But from the start walking my dog around the road way loop he couldn't walk more than a few steps before getting another goat head sticker in his paw. I regularly pulled 20 or more out of my shoes

Close to the hwy (which does mean some noise), but very handy if you just need a place to pull in. The staff were very friendly. The sites were situated well. The lake however was very low, so not much to see there. The views around the park were nice.

My only complaint is that you can’t reserve tent sites in advance. Otherwise it is quiet and has some good places to stretch your legs. On the snake River which is nice.

Since we are car camping road noise can be an issue but not here. Very quiet. Nice area to walk in. Fishing and boat launch available. There are several areas so people are spread out

Large campground in a grassy area with scattered trees. Fairly open with sites close together, but some sites have hedges in between. The campground was about half filled during our weekday stop.

Overall a good park to stay. It was pretty dry when we went. Not a whole lot to do around there at this time of year but good stopping place for a nite or two during the summer months. The sites in "B-Loop" are kinda tight for lg. rigs if "backing in"... We have a 40' 5th wheel... Double ck. your site before booking... Bushes are nice but can hinder backing in... Scratched the side of our truck and rv... The "Staff" is wonderful! Very friendly and helpful!! Place is kept real clean! Hats off to them All!**Note to Park***.... If you could repaint the "One Way Arrows" on the ground this would prevent people from pulling their rigs in the "wrong" way and blocking traffic or causing a jam!!

We have been here twice in the last two years.

Last year - no shade on our site, and Temps were over 100 degrees. No where for the kids to swim in the lake. It was miserable for the entire weekend.

This year - scouted sites and had some shade at least. Still no swimming areas, but the ranger allowed the kids to play in the sprinklers.

Morale - plan ahead with this campground, espically if you have kids. This is a boaters campground, and amenities are geared towards watercraft, not people.

Hot but has some shade. Beautiful views and perfect distance from Boise for a first trip EVER!

A beautiful campsite with a great view of the river. Lots of fish and cool people.

Campground maintenance lacking TLC. Sites are generally dirt, pathways not maintained, open areas not mowed, showers are dirty and water is luke warm. Camp hosts are nice. We were going to stay 2 nights, but opted to move on after 1 night.

Better for boaters or fishers. We got eaten alive. Hosts were really sweet. Spots were larger and there was hardly any campers mid week.

the state park, in eastern oregon. it is nice. been there twice. camp hosts lovely. a breeze blew in with a few sprinkles. some fish for catfish at night. i didn’t. maybe next time.

We spent one hellaciously windy night here. I'm sure it's great when it's not windy. Nice views, nice moon-rise in the evening. All was great until around sunset when the winds kicked up. Tough with a tent. But, that's the way it is in the West. enjoyed walking near the river with the dog though. Otherwise peaceful evening.

Stayed early Spring and much of the campground was still closed. However, catfish loop was open and there was plenty of space. We pulled in late and found a spot right away. We would have used a tent spot since we didn't need water or power but it wasn't as easy to find. The spot we chose had both water and electric hookups. There was a public bathroom nearby and spectacular river views.

This campground near the Idaho/Oregon border is your typical State Park. The sites are wide open with little privacy though there are some larger trees with the park. We had a site with water & electricity and there is a dump station. They also have sink/dishwashing water dump stations throughout (typical of Oregon State parks). There are separate single person showers and the restrooms were pretty clean. We only stayed 1 night passing through.
