"Our truck broke down just outside of Burns and we ended up having our travel trailer towed to this RV park, as it was the only place we could stay for the week while waiting to get our truck repaired."
"We visited during Oregon’s “high” season, so by the time we booked, only back in spots were available for our big rig."
$80 - $100 / night
"Park is up on a hill with a great view, close to the highway, but quiet. The camp host was friendly. Hope they reopen their restaurant someday. Plenty of places to eat in town."
"A picnic table was set up at our site and there were picnic tables and fire rings you can grab and take to your site, however there was a burn ban so no fires."
$50 / night
"We ran across this nice little campground (CG) looking for a place to walk our pups. Idlewild is located an easy 30 minute drive north of Burns, OR. "
"This is a basic USFS campground north of Burns, Oregon off of 395. There are few campgrounds off this highway so we always camp here. The fee is $10."
"No water sources around, but if you have supplies you’re set. Great spot for dogs too. Lots of wild flowers and plenty of area to explore"
"Level spots around some with trees."
"This little gem is nestled in SE Oregon and features an assortment of camping options, from private tee-pee, dry camping, to full RV hook ups this place can accommodate any guest."
"We camped along our drive but never had a set destination. Luckily, around sunset, we stumbled across Crystal Crane Hot Springs."
$15 - $40 / night
"We saw the fairground entrance sign, turned into the main fairground area, and stopped in front of the office."
$45 / night
"This is in Burns/Hines Oregon. This town is basically a stopover between Boise/Treasure Valley and Bend, Oregon. This park is well suited just for an overnight on the road."
"We'll definitely drop in when ever we go by Burns."
"Way too hot outside. Checked in on a day they were closed so the only signs of life we saw were the people who live here full time. Most sites are 30 amp."
"The lake is pretty and you can find a spot right on the lake. If you go a little further just passed the campground you can camp for free."
"Within 5 minutes of arriving we had a deer walking through our camp site. It was super hot but had lots of shade. I had to bring Clorox wipes to clean the toilet seat."
$20 / night
"Do yourself a favor and stop here to stretch your legs, romp your dog at the fenced pet area, meet some blessed rescue animals, or stay the night with amenities. You’ll be glad you did."
"The off-leash area for the dogs is huge! There is no dumping, but they do have a porta potty set up (that somehow doesn't stink!)."
ScoutPeaceful place. No hookups. No phone coverage. Takes an hour to get to campground from Burns.
GuidePlenty of places to camp with fire rings. The lake is pretty and you can find a spot right on the lake. If you go a little further just passed the campground you can camp for free. Didn’t like the cow pies in my campsite for what they did to the lake. Stayed for three days we enjoyed ourselves. The road there from burns was pretty easy breezy.
LegendThis is in Burns/Hines Oregon. This town is basically a stopover between Boise/Treasure Valley and Bend, Oregon. This park is well suited just for an overnight on the road. The whole property is graveled. All the hookups are in great shape and the whole place looks new-ish. The water pressure is about 100PSI, so use your regulator unless you want to risk popping your plumbing at some place or another. The town has many restaurants, fast food, convenience stores, car parts, car washes, etc. There is a pet park. The host/manager was very down to earth and helpful and greeted us in his golf cart as soon as we pulled up. I recommend this place for a quick/clean stopover. We'll use it again to break up our driving hours. There's not much to see or do in Burns/Hines. The WIFI is excellent coverage and strength and speed. Supports WIFI 6.0. Verizon 3bars.
ScoutIt’s especially sweet when you find kind, interesting folks in what seems like the middle of nowhere. Do yourself a favor and stop here to stretch your legs, romp your dog at the fenced pet area, meet some blessed rescue animals, or stay the night with amenities. You’ll be glad you did. It will restore your faith in humanity. We could all use some of that.
GuideAccess road is well maintained gravel. Campground was uncrowded on a July Saturday night. Lots of water and pit toilets. Access to the river but it's fast moving so I'd worry about kids and pets. Mosquitos showed up en masse at dusk. Lots of shade. Definitely worth $5.
GuideOur truck broke down just outside of Burns and we ended up having our travel trailer towed to this RV park, as it was the only place we could stay for the week while waiting to get our truck repaired. We had a full hookup spot, which was super nice, but the spot itself was pretty small. This is typical of many RV parks I have been too - good amenities but small spot.
There were some other spots in the park that were slightly larger and had picnic tables, but ours did not. We had only a tiny plastic table with 2 chairs, but we were so close to the RV next to us that we were basically either looking in their window or we would have to be right next to the "road'. Not ideal so we didn't spend much time outside.
There was room here for all sizes of campers - from tents (I saw I guy on a bicycle who tent camped for the night) to giant motorhomes with cars towed behind. The park hosts were all extremely nice and helpful, given our circumstances. They also gave us a military discount since my husband is a veteran.
Restrooms and showers were fairly small (only 2 toilets and 2 showers in each bathroom) but I think most folks used the facilities in their RVs. The shop/office sells propane and ice, so we were able to restock on both (plus they have wine and ice cream if you need a little splurge).
The park is right off of the highway so you may get some truck/traffic noise but it didn't seem to bother us city folks too much. :)
Wifi was fairly decent and you can get some local channels in the TV, if those things are important to you.
Dog and kid friendly, but there is really not much for either to do here.
Overall, this suited our purpose, in that we had a nice safe place to stay while our truck was repaired, but I'm not sure I would stay here just for kicks. Close to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge and a great stopover if you need a night to rest while driving through the high desert of Oregon.
LegendWe ran across this nice little campground (CG) looking for a place to walk our pups. Idlewild is located an easy 30 minute drive north of Burns, OR. Traveling north, the original entrance is now closed but signage takes you to the new entrance about 1/4 mile up the road. Down by the original entrance is pull through site 1, which is the only paved site in the CG. Most of the sites are more suited for tents but there are sites that will handle small RVs. There is a nice trail system that runs out the back of the CG near site 1. If you want to get away from it all, this is a great CG.
LegendThis is a basic USFS campground north of Burns, Oregon off of 395. There are few campgrounds off this highway so we always camp here. The fee is $10. There are vault toilets and seasonally a camp host with firewood. Standard clean vault toilets and water during high season. Fire ring and picnic table. There are pull through sites for larger rigs. You are surrounded by large pine trees. It is a popular campground in the fall for hunters. Highway 395 is not a busy highway so the campground is quiet. We always stay here when we visit this area.
ScoutNice spot for one RV with water and electricity. The off-leash area for the dogs is huge! There is no dumping, but they do have a porta potty set up (that somehow doesn't stink!).
The owners are incredibly nice and pretty laid back about arrival and departure times. They even gave us eggs from their chickens straight out of the coop, which made for a tasty breakfast.
There are chickens and goats and the cutest miniature donkey right next to the RV parking. The rooster does start crowing around 4am, so be prepared for that. There is less road noise than I thought there would be.
There is a clean laundromat, gas, restaurants, and grocery stores in Burns, just 30 mins away.
