Best Campgrounds near Haines, OR

381 Reviews

Campgrounds near Haines, Oregon span several developed and dispersed areas within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and nearby state parks. The region includes a mix of RV-friendly parks like A-Frame RV Park in Baker City, which offers full hookups and cabin options, as well as more primitive sites at locations such as Wolf Creek Reservoir and Pilcher Creek Reservoir. Public lands support various camping styles including tent camping, RV sites with hookups, and cabin accommodations. Most established campgrounds are concentrated within a 30-mile radius of Haines, with several offering access to water recreation at nearby lakes and reservoirs.

Road conditions and seasonal availability significantly impact camping opportunities in the area. Many campgrounds, including Anthony Lake Campground, have limited operating seasons due to elevation and weather patterns. "Anthony Lake is a delightful small Lake in the hills near Baker City Oregon and Sumpter Oregon. Its generally great weather and beautiful surroundings make this a wonderful small campground to relax and enjoy nature," noted one visitor. Travelers should be aware that some sites have restricted access during winter months, though certain areas like Wolf Creek Reservoir remain accessible year-round with primitive amenities. Cell service varies considerably throughout the region, with several reviews mentioning limited connectivity at higher elevation campgrounds but stronger signals near Baker City and La Grande.

Waterfront camping receives consistently positive reviews from visitors to the area, particularly at Phillips Lake and nearby reservoirs. Many campgrounds feature picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, though amenities vary significantly between developed and dispersed sites. According to one camper, "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." Wildlife sightings are common, with visitors reporting deer encounters throughout the camping areas. Campers seeking more solitude typically head to dispersed camping areas such as Social Security Point Trailhead, while those wanting more amenities gravitate toward state parks and private RV resorts. Several campgrounds throughout the region accommodate both tent and RV camping, though RV length restrictions apply at certain locations due to narrow access roads and limited turning radius.
