  NICE STOPOVER

  Very nicely maintained campground with full hookups. Clean showers. Level spots.

  The only drawback is the close vicinity to Hwy. 84 which made it quite noisy.

  Hurricane Creek Campground

  Nice creekside camping

  We car camped in this small campground along Hurricane Creek after getting rained out on a backpacking trip up to Eagle Cap. There are 13 sites, 3 of which are handicap accessible. There are several vault toilets and they were clean and not smelly. Some of the sites are small and close to the road. Sites 12 and 13 at the end of the road have a lot of trees and good tent areas. Nice large picnic tables and fire pits. Only a 5 mile trip into Joseph. Deer wandered through the campground and there are chipmunks.

  Grande Hot Springs RV Resort

  Great little RV park

  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!

  Catherine Creek State Park Campground

  Beautiful and Accessible

  Very pretty and open for camping, but without services, when I visited in April. There is a sweet hike that starts right at the bridge. It's right on the road, which could be busy in the summer. Not much for Verizon cell signal.

  Heavenly

  Visiting 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.

  Easy stop

  I've driven by for years and recently had the opportunity to stop in between a couple of long travel days.  Site was level and surrounded by beautiful trees.  We had a nice walk through the campground.  It was not crowded, being a weekday in October.

  I was amazed at the freeway noise.  Very loud.  Didn't really have trouble sleeping, but certainly not quitly peaceful, unfortunately.

  Great heritage site!

  Hurricane Creek Campground

  absolutely stunning!!

  tons of beautiful campsites right next to a LOUD rushing creek. plenty of clean bathrooms as well. it seemed to me that this area does get a lot of rain, so just a heads up for that. came in a little Prius & had no issue getting to the perfect campsite. no water hookups, so just remember to bring your own :)

  Beautiful, campground, clean lake and kind camp host

  It’s absolutely beautiful, campsites are pretty private and it smells so fresh! They sell firewood and have great area for tents in each campsite with a fire pit.

  Great place to park.

  Our 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.

  Private and peaceful

  Well spaced private campsites. Limited access to the river because of the brush. Fee was $10 per night. No cell service.

  This 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.

  River tent camping

  We stayed in one of the few tent spots on the water. The backdrop is stunning and the water is close enough falling asleep to it is relaxing. It’s a little small overall and would be cramped if the park was full.

  Anthony Lake Campground

  Pretty Campground, not for large RV's

  We headed this way to get away from smoke caused by the 2020 Central Oregon fires.  It was a great choice.  Still hazy long distance views but had great views of the stars at night.  Peaceful and lovely spot.  We paddled on the lake, hiked around it, drove up to the top of the ski area for the view and part of our group hiked down from there.  We were able to drive through the campground with the 27' trailer we had rented but none of the spaces would have accommodated us (that we could see). We were lucky, though, they let us stay in the group camp since there were no reservations for a few days.  It was a little snug, but worked out beautifully.    The campground proper looked very pretty as well.

  Amazing experience!!

  This place is beautiful! Mountain views in the distance, quiet safe camp sites, great amenities (washer, dryer, sink to wash dishes, clean new bathrooms and showers and soaking pool). We tent camped with our two young kids. Would definitely be back!!

  Very nice setting but a little too noisy

  We spend a night there in July on our way to Boulder Colorado. The campground is quite nice and bathrooms were clean and providing all needed functionality. Large and tall trees provided a very welcome shade during the heatwave we were going through. The only issue was that, we were tent camping and being close to the highway it was quite noisy.

  Spring Creek Campground

  Scouting out makes all the difference

  Wallowa-Whitman NF

  NF 21 

  aka Spring Creek Campground 

  La Grande, OR

  45.2125.6N, 118.1843.3W (Campground)

  45.3679N, 118.2972W (signboard)

  45.36944, -118.29997 (2nd spot)

  14 Day limit

  V 4g/2-3b, ATT 4g/1-2b (no booster)

  Dirt & grass

  Campground:

  Not for bigger rigs. 4 spots fairly close together, picnic tables, pit toilets.  Loop in is tight, and while we are only 34' long, we're 13.8 on truck and had to do some creative maneuvering to get ourselves back out. Cell signal here was almost non existent, and fairly dense tree cover if using solar.

  There was one spot on the left before getting to the Campground we could have fit into, but again, dense tree cover. Didn't check cell signal here.

  There is supposed to be more spots past the campground,  but we haven't taken the bikes out yet to explore. 

  Signboard:

  Easily found a spot, even on Labor Day weekend (Friday).  This area could handle 4 or 5 rigs. Cell signal better, but still bounced in/out a bit. We stayed here 2nts to get past the holiday weekend.  Picked up a lot of micro trash, spent shells, and broken bottles. This is also the area where a lot of a sxs park for Day Use. VERY dusty area.

  2nd Spot:

  WOW what a difference.  After we decided to hang out in the area for a bit longer, we knew we had to move off the main road as the dust was making our solar pout. As you come in, just before the signboard there is a road going up a hill to the right. It looks intimidating,  but can be done going slow in 4wd. We found 3 great spots up there without going back very far. 

  There are spots further back, as we saw people pulling trailers out, but we haven't explored them yet. We chose the 1st spot on the left for the full solar and gorgeous view of the meadow, tree line, and mountains in the distance. Cell signal comes in stronger on this ridge, but still a little fickle without a booster... note to self, get booster. Picked up medium sized and micro trash here, as well as bullet casings and broken bottles... and a special thanks to whomever left a bag of rotting frozen chicken wings...that was fun, but the view is worth it, and SO MUCH LESS dust.

  There is a spot across (right side of road) where we've had over nights pull in late, but they left by 9am and both were very quiet setting up. Other than them, and the people from further back pulling out after the weekend, we've been alone up here.

  There is a GORGEOUS spot further up on the right, but I couldn't get any signal.

  From all but the campground,  you will hear road noise. I84 is just beyond the trees. I pretend it's waves (don't judge), my husband uses ear plugs. We've both had no issues sleeping.  

  If we had only had the 1st 2nts experience I would say we would only be back as a last minute overnight, having discovered this other area, yep we'd be back no problem. 

  As with all boondocking,  scouting out is the key.

  Huge sites. Delightful hot pools

  This is a big Park with lots of spaces between the sites. The sites themselves are very long. They could hold very big rigs and their tow vehicles. The staff was very helpful and friendly. There are two pools, one at 100° and one at 90 °. If you get off at exit 265, there is a good paved Road. If you get off at exit 268, there are three miles of gravel road.

  The wind and the marsh birds

  I was here April ‘22 and the facilities are immaculate! Shelly does a great job! The owners are wonderful and very smart! The grounds are very well kept. I wish I could be there in the summer. The winds of the valley are ferocious any other time of the year. It rocked my trailer like a stagecoach! The area was beautiful and fun to explore.

  Perfect

  Excellent service, nice and quiet surroundings. From time to time a train but other than that nothing else.
