McDougall Dispersed Camping in the Blue Mountains permits pets in a more rustic setting with unrestricted camping options. Most campgrounds enforce leash requirements to ensure safety, with several reviewers noting the importance of keeping dogs secured since not all visitors follow this rule.

    The trails surrounding Jubilee Lake Campground provide excellent pet exercise opportunities with a mostly paved path circling the water that allows quick access from campsites. Dogs can wade into the Grande Ronde River at Hilgard Junction State Park where the crystal clear water creates fun swimming and water play opportunities for pets. Mottet Campground offers exceptional privacy for camping with dogs, with widely spaced sites that prevent barking conflicts with neighbors. During summer months, early morning walks are recommended before temperatures rise. Visitors should come prepared with extra water for pets as the dispersed camping areas like McDougall lack reliable water sources. Wildlife encounters are common, with deer frequently visiting many of the campgrounds, requiring attentive pet supervision to prevent chasing incidents.

      RV Resort Four Seasons

      Lots of hookups

      This site was right next to Fort Walla Walla, with a park and dog park. Not much else here but weird animal statues and long-term RVers. Lots of hookups for RV and trailers. No tent or car camping. The bathrooms were still closed June 2021, need to use your own hookups.

      Umatilla Marina & RV park

      Nice place to go and just relax on your way to your next destination

      First of all, the staff is very nice and respectful. The campground is very clean. The bathrooms have showers and are well kept. They provide wifi, water, sewer and power at the sites. It's a bit pricey for being as basic as it is but when you look around at other campgrounds in the area and nationally the price is right in line. Next to Umatilla park so that's a bonus. Marina is just down the hill. Pet friendly. I would stay again.

      Grande Hot Springs RV Resort

      Picturesque.

      I wish we had more time at this spot. Beautiful scenery. Small but very clean pool. The campgrounds are very well taken care of. Pet friendly, family friendly.

      Blue Valley RV Park

      Nice Campground

      Our GPS took us right to the campground (CG) plus there was plenty of Blue Valley RV Park signage to guide the way into a small industrial area and the adjacent golf course. Check-in was quick and we proceeded to back-in site 8 with FHUs. The utilities are towards the back of the pad, so I had to use two sewer hoses to get from the main black tank on our Brinklely G model. The sites on this side of the CG are nicely landscaped with a decent amount of room. After reviewing all the rules on line, we were a little concerned but the management was not overbearing and there are four main rules as displayed when you check in 1) 5 mph speed limit, 2) don’t park in the road) 3) pick up after your pet, and 4) pets on a leash. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. We got 4 bars on Verizon. There were no mature trees in our area, so we did not have a problem getting a clear shot north for our Starlink. We logged into the Wifi and it was above average, but the CG was not full. The CG is near a small but nice industrial area near the police station and humane society. Go to Walla Walla’s main street area where there are far more wine tasting rooms than you can do in a day. Grab pizza from the Sweet Basil Pizzeria. This CG was a good choice to visit the area.

      If you have another option go there

      We have been here for month and honestly that 29 days to long. This place is okay for one night but if you want piece and quiet, this place is not it. The spots are so close together that you can hear others conversations. Every other day we were woke up from the park staff talking beside my RV running sprinklers, doing lawn care, or something. Don't leave anything on their picnic table or they will knock on your door at 9:30 am and they will keep knocking til you answer. Sure there's wifi but good luck using it. Pet park really stinks. Yes dogs use it but they don't treat it so on a sunny day it's strong stinch of piss. Almost Unbearable. Staff in the office are sweet but maintenance guy is an asshole. But the veins are beautiful.

      Grande Hot Springs RV Resort

      Neat and beautiful

      They have an amazing brand new reception, very nice people. These are the cleanest restrooms I’ve ever seen, and we camp a lot! Wifi is okay. Only giving 4 stars because they could add some kids recreation. Other than that, 10/10. Pets cannot be off leash. The pool is mor of a big hot tub, not for actual swimming

      Grande Hot Springs RV Resort

      Quiet rv park with hot springs

      This park is a little pricey but it is in a great location near the Hot Lake Springs in La Grande Oregon. The sites are somewhat level, off between 1 and 3 inches so you have to watch how you park if you have an RV that can’t accommodate anything over 2 inches off level. There is a lot of grass, trees, birds, a couple of ponds, and it is very quiet. There is a super friendly and sweet cat who supervises all check-ins. The reservation process was easy, late check-in was easy, and they were flexible on check-out time. All hook-ups were conveniently located and worked correctly. They have seasonal hot spring soaking tubs which we did not get to use, but they were very clean and looked great. If we stayed more than one night we definitely would have enjoyed a soak!

      Grande Hot Springs RV Resort

      Lovely campground and location!

      We stayed at Grande Hot Springs RV Resort in June and September 2021. We really enjoyed our stay at this park. We stayed in site 2 which was a large pull-thru site for our fifth wheel. Sites are long, flat, and level with 50 amp, water and sewer hookups. We enjoyed the great walking paths around the perimeter of the park to walk our dogs. The pool and hot tub are heated geothermally and are warm, soothing, and oh, so relaxing. We can’t say enough about the professional staff, who were warm, friendly, and helpful. We even had some packages delivered here, which was a big bonus for us. We a lot of other friendly campers here. The WiFi is top-notch. This is our favorite Oregon campground and we highly recommend a stay here. For videos on the campground, visit YouTube: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.


    Guide to Adams

    Camping opportunities near Adams, Oregon span from developed facilities in the Blue Mountains to basic dispersed sites. Elevations range from 1,200 feet to over 4,500 feet, creating varied camping environments across the region. Winter closures affect many campgrounds from November through April due to snowfall and freezing temperatures in the higher elevations.

    What to do

    Hiking trails: Jubilee Lake Campground offers a 2.8-mile trail circling the water. "There is a 2.8 mile hiking trail that takes you around the lake. My mom and I walked this every morning, and it was gorgeous," writes Julie P. The trail is "mostly paved" according to reviewers, making it accessible for most fitness levels.

    Fishing opportunities: Jubilee Lake Campground provides excellent fishing from both shore and water. "Great fishing, shore or water- lots of access," notes Brian B. The clear mountain lake supports various fish species and remains a popular destination throughout summer.

    Mountain recreation: The Blue Mountains surrounding McDougall Dispersed Camping offer extensive exploration opportunities. "Just past the village you get into the woodland where the Morels are plentiful. This is an ideal location to go mushrooming," explains Brandon K. The area features "tall pines and firs" that create a classic Pacific Northwest forest experience.

    What campers like

    River access: Harris Park sites provide direct waterfront camping alongside the South Fork Walla Walla River. "The sites along the river, and the river itself, are beautiful. They are angled nicely to allow views of the river (and less of neighboring sites), with vegetation between sites to add a little extra privacy," shares Angela. This layout creates natural separation between camping spots.

    Swimming areas: Umatilla Forks Campground features excellent water access for cooling off during summer months. "Right by the creek with a nice big swimming hole. Best thing is no one was there," notes Jason R., highlighting both the swimming opportunity and relative seclusion compared to busier campgrounds in the region.

    Site privacy: Campgrounds in the region often feature well-designed site layouts. At Jubilee Lake, Serena G. notes: "We had a small quiet campsite that despite not being far from the next site over was very private." The strategic placement of trees and vegetation creates natural screening at many area campgrounds.

    What you should know

    Road conditions: Several campgrounds require driving on rough forest roads. For Jubilee Lake, a reviewer mentions "Last several miles of the road were very washboard-y - something that has not changed from previous visits over the years." Plan extra travel time and consider vehicle clearance.

    Highway noise: Emigrant Springs State Heritage Area sits close to I-84, creating noise challenges for light sleepers. "The road noise is extreme; very loud. If you can get past that the place is really sweet," explains reviewer Sparkleblaster S. Kelly N. adds it's "TOO close to the highway and too noisy even with ear plugs or music."

    Seasonal closures: Access to McDougall Dispersed Camping becomes impossible during winter months. "The road to the site was not plowed. Several feet of snow. Not many alternatives in the area so plan accordingly if you hope to stay here," warns David D. Most higher elevation sites close from late fall through spring.
