Lovely site but no hookups. Personally think ther is plenty of room between sites but then we’ve been in Yellowstone where you can almost touch your neighbor.

Wildhorse Casino's pet-friendly sites accommodate both tent and RV camping with minimal restrictions, allowing dogs to stay comfortably throughout the property. The park maintains grassy areas around the perimeter specifically for dog walking, with conveniently placed waste bags for cleanup. Campers browse The Dyrt when exploring the best sites near Adams, Oregon. The full-hookup RV sites at Emigrant Springs State Heritage Area welcome pets with spacious campsites that aren't crowded together, offering good privacy for campers with animals. 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.
Best Dog-Friendly Campgrounds near Adams (59)
1. Wildhorse Casino
"It's not far off the highway which makes it great for a quick stop. Bathrooms and showers are clean, staff is friendly and helpful. The pool is nice. There's not a lot of privacy."
"A pleasant facility that is easy to drive and maneuver with a tow behind trailer. Sites were fairly level with lawn and a picnic table. Property is well maintained."
2. Emigrant Springs State Heritage Area
"Oregon always has beautiful state parks. This one is no different. It is close to Hwy 84, so there is road noise. The campsites don't seem to be as on top of each other as some places."
"It was a welcome dose of green after a long day of brown along the interstate through Idaho and western Oregon. The cabin was rustic, the shower house was in good repair with nice hot showers."

5. McDougall Dispersed Camping
"McDougall is a small mountain community located in the blue mountains above Weston, Oregon. There is a small neighborhood consisting of permanent RVs, cabins and shanties."

7. RV Resort Four Seasons

10. Jubilee Lake Campground (Or) — Umatilla National Forest
"The bugs were not bad even though we were close to the water and it was late summer. We could walk to the water from our campsite in just a minute or so which was awesome!"
"The campsites are a decent size, however when it is busy you do feel like you are right next to your neighbor. This really didn't bother my family and I because we were gone most of the day."

Glen B.TravelerFox Hill Campground by MERA Motocross Track
Great free camping with a pit toilet and picnic tables. This is an ORV site, but on Sunday night in late October I had the place mostly to myself. National Forest 4 miles farther up the road with dispersed camping.

LegendNorth of Spring Creek on Forest Road 21
We headed down FR21 to find lots of dispersed sites, some more attractive than others of course. There were many spots also taken by families and off-road enthusiasts. It was a beautiful Saturday fall day so it was to be expected. We did find a great spot with lots of room for us to stretch our legs and plenty of new scents for our dog to explore. We spent a quiet evening with lots of stars. You could hear the noise from I-84 but it wasn’t enough to take away from our stay. No amenities as it is dispersed camping so come prepared to pack it in but more importantly to pack it out!

Good for an overnight...
Agree with other reviewers that this is a pretty campground, however, could only give 3 stars because of the road noise.

Large sites off highway
Rolled in here about 5pm on a Monday night, found a nice flat site to park our van. 3/5 sites available, appears to be lots of dispersed camping nearby too. Nice pit toilet, no water. fire ring with grate and picnic table w ea site. Spring creek dried up.
Dave M.ScoutHilgard Junction State Park Campground
Not as advertised
Small spots, 25 foot trailer and truck would not fit. Did not see any hookups. Had to move on!
Lisa M.LegendCharbonneau Park
Another great COE campground
Spent three nights here in site 43 which had full hook ups. Beautiful campground with grass everywhere and spaces are far apart from your neighbor. Nice clean showers. Right on the Snake river. About 12 to 14 miles to the nearest town for laundry, groceries, etc. Half price with the America, the beautiful pass.

A bit narrow entrance road
Nice location, quiet - except for the trains, very reasonable price. FHU plus a shower/bathroom facility right next to site 26.
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.
