Anglers can fish for rainbow trout in Eagle Creek, just 150 feet from the cabin's front door.

The landscape features subalpine firs and white bark pine as well as meadows that burst with colorful wildflowers. Guests will find blue-green pools and dramatic rock formations scattered along the creek's path. Two Color Guard Station is just a short distance away from the Eagle Cap Wilderness.

Hilltop Hideaway is a 1930's era cabin that allows guests to relax in the outdoors and step back in time to the bygone gold mining days. Hilltop Hideaway is part of the Fremont Powerhouse complex, a hub for mining built in the early 1900s. It is one of four cabins located at the site near the town of Granite, and provides great flexibility for larger groups. The surrounding valleys once teemed with mining activity, primarily gold. The Fremont Powerhouse was built as an economical power source for mining. Two dams were constructed at Olive Lake and the water was piped through an 8-mile wood and steel pipeline to the powerhouse to generate electricity. Homes were constructed to shelter workers who monitored the pipeline. Today, these same homes are available for the public to enjoy. Hilltop Hideaway is the cabin farthest uphill from the Fremont Powerhouse. Winter access may require skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles. Click here for a virtual tour of the area.
Guests can hike on trails into the North Fork John Day Wilderness or go mountain biking on forest roads. A drive along the Blue Mountain Scenic Byway is a treat, as are other activities like huckleberry and mushroom picking, bird watching, wildlife viewing and photographing the vast landscape. Nearby Olive Lake offers boating, fishing and swimming.
The cabin sits at an elevation of about 5,000 feet, on a hillside overlooking the expansive Umatilla National Forest near the North Fork John Day Wilderness. A grassy lawn in front leads to the other three cabins in the area. The forest lies in the Blue Mountains and is home to Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir. Birds in the area include the black-backed woodpecker, American kestrel and the Boreal owl. Black bear, cougar, wolves, elk and deer are among the native land mammals. Click here to learn about bear safety.
The cabin is located less than 6 miles from Granite, Oregon, a ghost town that once bustled with prospectors and pioneers. The town provides groceries and fuel.

Nice campground, clean bathrooms and showers.Friendly people beautiful views. Website for reservations was difficult. You seem to have some glitches
Traveler
Was a small but clean and tidy park with lots of shade trees around. I arrived there after hours but had made a reservation over the phone prior. Park staff were nice enough to have a park map ready for me when I arrived directing me to my site in the back corner of the park. They actually had a really cool sign at my camp spot made up for me. The spot itself was a bit small, but clean and under a nice shade tree. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The only minor gripe I would have is they are a bit small and cramped, but for one night it worked just fine. Would definitely camp here again if I'm the area.
LegendWe 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.
Guide
This campground is wonderful. We were lucky enough to get a site next to the river and couldn't be happier. Bathrooms are clean and the staff were so amazing.
ScoutWe 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.
GuideBig trees, lots of shade, full hook ups. Pic-Nic tables at each spot. Very friendly staff. Easy check in. Good price. Some road noise but not loud enough to be problematic. We have a 36ft travel trailer with slides on both sides. Was able to fit into the pull through no problem with truck parked in front (stayed hooked up so we can leave the following day)
Scout
Had a great time here. There are small things I'd change that would make it a 5 star park, but they are small.
The pools that are fed by the springs are great, especially after a long day on the road.
The staff was great and helpful, and a full-time RV family shared their wisdom with this first-time RV-er.
Hookups are well labeled, and RV sites are all 90-foot pull through, which, again, for this first time RV-er was clutch!
The views are great, the nature walk is nice, and the weather was a nice 70ish!
Cons, for me, are that there is no off leash dog area, this is due to the abundant wildlife, but i just wish there was somewhere to let them run and stretch their legs. Additionally, there is no area for the kids to play, there is a horseshoe area, but otherwisr, no play equipment. But otherwise, a great stop, and really, a better stop for a more mature crowd.
Lastly, no wood fires at the camp sites (at least on the rv side) so bring a propane pit for marshmallows!
Guide
We stayed one night as a stopover on a walkabout. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Clean restrooms and showers. 2/3 of the sites have a view of the lake. The wind often comes up in the afternoon and is there until after sunset, but the fishing looked great. Another camper offered us freshly caught trout as they had too much for their group. Lots of grass.
GuideI 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.
GuideVisiting in April on a Sunday to do day use has defined my idea of heavenly. The snow-covered peaks, the clean air, the sounds of the spring birds, and the silence are magical. The hot tubs are small, but it really doesn't matter if no one is there. They are pool noodle friendly when it's not high occupancy. The Verizon signal is strong. Day use is open until 5:00 p.m. and next door there's a lodge that has even more hot springs that I'm going to have to visit sometime. The setting is pretty incredible with views all around of lovely Eastern Oregon mountains and valley. Spring green is abundant and it is an enchanting time. Very cute tent campsites, as well as a variety of lodging. This place is wonderful.
LegendWe'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.
ScoutCame in late and the host came out to help. Nice clean bathrooms, reasonable price (and don’t mind car charging), a little loud from the highway.
TravelerClean and quiet campground right on Snake River.
TravelerI'm glad this camp ground was open, only 4 other Camper here at this time, no water but that was no problem
ScoutVery 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
Traveler
Great camp site. Electric and water hook ups, great camp hosts, close to the water.
TravelerCampsite super nice, peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Restrooms/showers very clean. Staff extremely nice.
TravelerWe stayed here just overnight. We used the showers and laundry --both were very clean. Courteous, helpful staff. It looked like about half of the tenants are permanent.
The dog park on the back forty was seriously about 40 acres.
GuideHosts were very friendly and the location was peaceful. Sunsets were beautiful but we stayed during a very hot week and the lack of shade made it very difficult to stay cool.
Trees were very small and didn’t provide much shade. In about 5 years it may be a better place to camp.
Lake water was extremely filthy. Kids swam and had a good time in the cool water but the water was gross.
TravelerOur truck blew a water pump and blew a head gasket. Was able to get trailer towed to campground. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is great. Amenities are clean and really good.
GuideWe’ve been here a couple of times with trailers and about 10 other families. Their groups sites are next to each other and allow big groups to stay together.
Scout
Beautiful campsite, nice walk around the lake. It was mostly empty with some snow patches still on the ground.
TravelerThis is our 2nd stay. Would give five stars but this time there were so many mosquitoes we couldn’t go outside the rv. They really need to spray more.
ScoutBeautiful views, easy access.
TravelerT Mobile reception good download speed 53Mbs. Wifi would periodically drop out, otherwise was able to stream. Nice shady park. Site 27 the 30amp outlet was troublesome. It does not hold plug well. The threads on the water supply was too shallow for me be able to attach my water pressure regulator so screen would bottom out. Can hear interstate but did not bother sleep.
ScoutStayed in one of their yurts. Super clean and quiet. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Private soaking tubes were fantastic.
LegendFor us this was an overnight to have water and dump capability after nights without. It was a very pretty campground in the trees. The water level was VERY low in Sept 2020. We were able to get in some good walking. Clean campground, nice hosts, lovely area, except for the lake. We'd stay again if in the area.
