Wonderful John Day riverside camp spot
On the banks of the North Fork John Day river. Five sites with picnic table & fire ring. River was high with the spring mountain runoff mid May. Nice respite for 2 days and close enough to explore and hike around the area.
Large open gravel area when you drive in with sites along the river edge with some shade trees.
Nice visit down the road by Kimberly of Apricot Apiaries and picked up some of their honey. Trail above the campground and across Rt402 up the mountain right above.
Clean campground & pit toilet.
It's right below Rt402 which has low traffic and none at night. Low traffic noise with the roaring river and roadway high above site.
