    Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort Campground

    Beautifully maintained campground in the Blue Mountains

    We stopped by Anthony Lakes on our way back to the Willamette Valley from Baker City. The campsite is on a property that becomes a ski resort in the winter (it's at over ~7000 ft). The campground was immaculately maintained and had lots of recreation options. On weekends in the summer, the ski lift becomes a mountain biking lift, there are hiking trails, and of course lakes. The lakes themselves are pretty small, but big enough for some kayak adventuring and swimming. We got caught in a summer thunderstorm, so we were glad we had a shelter to pop up.

    Our site was private with access to the lake trail. Pit toilets, but everything was very clean. There are also walk-up sites around the back of the lake which had more mosquitos, but were very spacious.  It looks like there is one yurt on top of the mountain. The mountain bike path goes by it, and it looks like it has great views.

    This was an easy drive from Baker City, a little far from Portland unless you're going to make a multi-day vacation out of it. On the way through the mountains, there's plenty of gold mining history, a historical dredge, and some ghost towns to stop by. 

    Lots of chipmunks, so watch what you leave out (even momentarily).

    Mtn View RV Park

    A stay back in time....

    This park is in Baker City and close to many restaurants as well grocery stores. This unique park is well kept and had a store which was a plus! The bathrooms and showers were clean and , and had wonderful water pressure! The pool was refreshing and had plenty of space. The staff was so helpful and allowed us to change spots as the spot that we originally had was on one side of the park that had a little bit too much action and noise from the business behind the fence. We consider ourselves modern day pioneers, so it was nice to be in a park that kept true to the Pioneer era feel and you have to go to the office at night to see all the stuff that they did to add to the spark of this park.

    Awesome Place

    Wish I’d stayed here for more than one night. Beautiful spot with cabins, tent and RV options. Cabins come with a private outdoor patio, fire pit and soaking tubs. Super comfy bed and a nice quiet space. There are full bathrooms with showers close by. Super friendly staff too! Good food, a brewery and drive in theater near by. And a nice hot springs fed pool!

    Fish Lake Campground

    Beautiful lake and views!

    Fish Lake Campground is up above Halfway, OR. It is a pine forested high elevation (6,990ft) Campground on NFD Rd. 66.

    The campground on the lake is a pay site (6$ /night) with on site water and metal fire pits and vault toilets. However there is other sites that are dispersed nearby on NFD Rd. 66 and NFD Rd. 6625 along the road to DeadMans Trail. #1867. There is 2 sites at the end loop of the pay sites that are dispersed sites and lack tap for water and has a rock fire pit. Both have access to older vault toilets.

    Beautiful in the morning!

    Mtn View RV Park

    Great Base to Explore the Area

    Quaint campground with a neat western theme on its office, corresponding laundry and spa/shower building. Check in was easy to include being given a local paper other tour/restaurant type information. We had pull through site126 with FHUs, which was a little narrow but doable getting our 39’ Vilano 5th wheel into place. Great water pressure(about 100 psi) so we needed our regulator. They had a dump station and also sold propane. There was fenced playground and swimming pool available as well. Out the back gate near our site was a large area to walk your dog complete with poop bags. WIFI was so-so/normal for this type of campground. The park is well off the interstate so there was no road noise, but we did notice trains off and on durning the day and night, but the noise was not too bad.

    Catherine Creek State Park Campground

    Perfect stop for a night or few days

    We loved this little first-come, first-serve campground. It's small and squeezed in between the creek, mountain highway (only 2 lanes) and steep hillside with some grazing cattle on the other side. The cattle and road noise was okay for us at night, but if you are a light sleeper it might not be for you. There is plenty of shade with all the trees and it does get a little dark earlier because of all the shade. While the toilet facilities are a bit older, they flush and are clean where it counts. We stayed at campsite 5, which seems like an odd choice since it's right next to the welcome signage and fee drop box, but we really liked it because we were able to spread out along the side of the creek with our tent as well as our Big Agnes shade/bug screen we have as well. No fires allowed this time around, but we were fine with our camp stove on the picnic table. There were a few water spigots around and a trash can for each site. It was lovely listening to the creek all day (and waking up to it). A good number of spots in the middle of the campground seemed better suited to small-medium pull behinds since there wasn't as much separating the individual sites. The sites around the edges had a bit more privacy since they abut the edges of the creek or heavier brush. The day use area is a short 1/2 mile drive up the road or a 1 mile hike (0.5 there and 0.5 back) and we saw a few families enjoying the picnic and creek area over the weekend. We saw people using it as a one-night stopover on longer trips and a few campers stayed a few nights like we did. Besides the short hikes and a bit of splashing around in the creek in the day use area there isn't a lot to do in the area (no cell service on Verizon) besides relaxing. The creek side has been undergoing some restoration work so it's not a free-for-all access anywhere. It seems to be working since at campsite 5, being right next to the creek, we had plenty of critters - plenty of butterflies, a few more spiders than I usually notice. There were the usual gnats, mozzies, bees, wasps, and flies too, but no more than any other campground, as well as some creek specific ones since we were so close to the creek - I want to say mayflies or something similar. We also saw plenty of birds, snacking away on bugs in the trees or grass, as well as a few hummingbirds that really liked when the park ranger had put some sprinklers on to water the grass.

    Farewell Bend State Recreation Area Campground

    Riverside desert experience

    Farewell bend is a day use state park and campground located near Huntington Oregon and nestled on the Snake River.

    The park is a dry desert setting with yellowing grasses, tall spiny trees and sand dunes. The snake river is a deep emerald green flowing with foam from the upriver reservoir.

    The campground has three large loops that can accommodate the largest of personal busses down to the classic sleeping bag. There are electric and water connections, a sewer dump and a boat launch. There are a couple of rentable waterfront cabins available on C-loop.

    Many fisherman come here to enjoy the well stocked waters, keep an eye out for the other river wildlife commonly seen, rattle snakes. Other water sports are welcome here, boating and waterskiing happens all day long. The dunes across the river are a popular off-road and motorized fun location.

    The river is pretty much inaccessible from the campgrounds, the day use area allows for access to the rocky beach, but the waters edge is not clean sadly, polluted with litter and river foam.

    The park is a very warm and sunny Oregon escape with little to no cellular service.


Guide to Baker City

Glamping near Baker City, Oregon offers distinctive experiences in the high-desert terrain of Eastern Oregon, where elevation ranges from 3,400 to over 7,000 feet. The area contains diverse ecosystems from sagebrush plateaus to alpine forests in the surrounding Elkhorn and Wallowa Mountains. The climate features warm, dry summers with cool nights and cold winters, making late spring through early fall the optimal camping season.

What to do

Hiking the Elkhorn Crest Trail: This 23-mile National Recreation Trail runs along the Elkhorn Range ridgeline with trailheads accessible from Anthony Lake. "Lots of really good hikes, waterfalls, but cold water if you want to swim," notes a visitor to Union Creek Campground.

Fishing at Unity Lake: The reservoir provides opportunities for catching trout in a less crowded setting. As one camper at Unity Lake State Recreation Site shared, "Another camper offered us freshly caught trout as they had too much for their group."

Mining history exploration: Visit nearby Sumpter, a historic mining town with a preserved dredge. "Nearby Sumpter is a neat little town with lots of history. Be sure to tour the Dredge," recommends a visitor who stayed at Union Creek Campground.

Soaking in mineral hot springs: Natural hot springs provide therapeutic relaxation after outdoor activities. A visitor to Grande Hot Springs RV Resort noted, "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."

What campers like

Private, secluded campsites: Many campgrounds offer significant spacing between sites. At Wetmore Campground, campers appreciate that there are "Lots of space between spaces. In the trees. Clean pot toilet."

Wildlife viewing opportunities: The area's diverse habitats support numerous bird and animal species. One visitor to Grande Hot Springs RV Resort noted, "The resort lies next to a wildlife refuge. There are many birds," while another mentioned seeing "mule deer" during their stay.

Clean facilities despite remote locations: Many campgrounds maintain high cleanliness standards. At Mountain View RV Park, a camper observed, "Bathrooms were nice and very clean. Cute little store in the office. They also had a nice pool."

Peaceful atmosphere: The remote nature of many sites provides quiet camping experiences. A visitor to Catherine Creek State Park Campground described it as "Very pretty and open for camping," while noting it was "right on the road, which could be busy in the summer."

What you should know

Water levels fluctuate seasonally: Lakes and reservoirs can experience significant changes. A camper at Farewell Bend State Recreation Area observed, "Water in the lake is way down, lowest it has been in 50+ years."

Weather can change rapidly: At higher elevations, conditions vary quickly. A visitor to Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort Campground reported, "We stopped by Anthony Lakes on our way back to the Willamette Valley from Baker City. The campsite is on a property that becomes a ski resort in the winter (it's at over ~7000 ft)."

Limited cell service: Many campgrounds have poor or no connectivity. A Catherine Creek State Park visitor noted "Not much for Verizon cell signal," while another camper at Unity Lake mentioned, "We could not get the CG Wifi to connect, but we did have 2 bars on Verizon."

Insects can be prevalent: Mosquitoes are common, especially near water. One camper at Farewell Bend warned, "Very many mosquitos, like swarms of them," while another visitor mentioned dealing with "gnats, mozzies, bees, wasps, and flies."

Tips for camping with families

Accessible short trails: Several campgrounds offer easy hikes suitable for children. At Bates State Park, visitors note "nice short trails, and local history of the site" and appreciate that "There are very interesting signs telling about the logging history of the area as well as a playground and nature trails."

Water activities with caution: Lakes and streams offer recreation but require supervision. A camper at Union Creek mentioned, "Access to lake very large boat ramp and docking," while another noted the "cold water if you want to swim."

Wildlife awareness: Small animals may be attracted to food. One visitor to Anthony Lakes warned, "Lots of chipmunks, so watch what you leave out (even momentarily)."

Historical learning opportunities: The area offers educational experiences about Oregon's past. A Bates State Park visitor noted the park "has an interesting history. It was the site of the Bates Lumber Mill company town."

Tips from RVers

Water pressure considerations: Some campgrounds have extremely high water pressure. At Mountain View RV Park, campers warn, "Great water pressure(about 100 psi) so we needed our regulator," and another noted, "As the water pressure here is around 100 psi, you need to use a reducer."

Pull-through accessibility: Many sites accommodate larger RVs. A visitor to Catherine Creek observed, "A good number of spots in the middle of the campground seemed better suited to small-medium pull behinds since there wasn't as much separating the individual sites."

Weather protection: High winds can affect comfort at exposed sites. A Farewell Bend camper shared, "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."

Seasonal limitations: Not all facilities remain open year-round. An early visitor to Farewell Bend noted, "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."
