Best Glamping near Haines, OR

On our way to Portland from SLC we decided to book a Yurt on AirBnb at Grande Hot Springs Resort. We arrived the evening of 14 April after a long day of driving from Burley. Checking in was a snap. The Yurt was clean and fresh with a private courtyard and soaking tub backing up to a pond looking up a hillside. Being early spring it was cold enough at night to keep the mosquitos at bay. From our Yurt we walked around the hot lake to the Historic Hot Lake Hotel. The glow of the setting sun against the hotel facade is best described as a scene from "The Shining." Creepy in a stepping back in time kind of way. I'm attracted to those old west neo-classical buildings that have survived and being revived. Back to the Yurt, the only downside was having to take a hike to use the toilet.

Stayed in one of their yurts. Super clean and quiet. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Private soaking tubes were fantastic.

Mainly for rv's but they do have yurts available and nice tents spots. Very clean bathroom and shower, nice place all around. The tent sites are away from the rv's so the view is spectacular.

We stayed here for 2 nights in early August. Great campground that you can tell a lot of love is being put into. The tent and yurt sites are beautifully situated next to a stream full of cattails and lily pads. Wild deer roam nearby and horses graze in the fields around the park. Not far from town either. A great spot if you are in the area.

May 17-26, 2019 Very nice campground. Site C6 walk-up site had electric and water. Park has dump station, Restrooms had flush toilets but no hot water and no showers. Elevation 4,097. Verizon had 2 bars 4G.  Address: 17564 Sumpter Stage Highway, Baker City Oregon 97814. Hike 16 mile trail around the lake. Legally sale cannibus in Sumpter - 10 miles from the park. Enjoyed D&J Taco Shop restaurant downtown. No sales tax in Oregon.

Camped here on a bike trip (as with many of my other adventures). Not very dense in the green department. This was a nice departure from the campgrounds in the Oregon Cascades. A little more arid and desert-y. Some raccoons got into our panniers, though!

Smoky Bear greets you at the entrance. Don't forget to say Hi!

Once Union Creek was ran by a family and had a great restaurant called Beckie’s, Union creek resort, cabins, sledding area… but now has been bought out by bigger businesses and it’s changed. It’s a good campground in one of the prettiest forests around Oregon in my opinion but it doesn’t feel the way it once did.

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.

**Ranger Review: Midland Radios at Anthony Lakes Campground Review: **

This is my favorite place in Oregon. It’s vast and quaint- everything that you would imagine from a 7,000 elevation retreat! We arrived a couple of days prior to when the site was officially supposed to open (July 1- depending on snow) so, we ended up staying in the Anthony Lakes Ski Area parking lot. A combination of snow and mud prevented anyone from using the official campsites but that didn’t stop a handful of people from camping and fishing nearby. During our three-day stay, we had snow, rain, and sunshine. It was wonderful! 

Top reasons I love this campground: 

• The Wallowa-Whitman stunning views; including Gunsight Mountian and the Elkhorn Range. 
• Clean, clear lakes (Lilypad Lake is great for flyfishing) 
• Secluded Amazing hiking

Product Review: As a Ranger for The Dyrt, occasionally I get to test products. At this campground, I tested the Midland Radios X-Talker Extreme Dual Pack T77VP5. Being in a vast wooded area, I was thrilled to have radios that worked well and could be easily charged with a USB cord and a power block. Lightweight and easy to attach to a backpack or belt. 

**Pros: **

• Good value(price for product); two radios, soft-shell carrying case, earpieces, charging station, USB car charger, USB wall plug-in charger, rapid rechargeable batteries, 36-channels. 
• Range of up to 38 miles! 
• Sounds great and keeps a charge.
• Cons: The charging station is plastic and feels inexpensive Overall, I give the Midland Radio X-Talker Extreme Dual Pack T77VP5 five stars. It delivers exactly what it says it does. It’s a great value and a product worth having to keep you in communication with others during your outdoor adventures!

We chose Dixie because it was a little closer to civilization than Yellow Pine, Wetmore & Oregon campgrounds further east on Hwy 26. There is no host, it’s at a higher elevation and it is a little off the highway. The loop is kind of on two levels so some spaces are well spaced out. Vault toilets distributed around the loop. The one we used was clean and supplied. There were only 2-3 other sites occupied and no one near us when we stayed. No reservations. We chose a site that sat a bit downhill from where our car was parked but was a really lovely spot. We didn’t mind hauling our stuff down. The wind picked up the first afternoon we were there and we actually saw a tree fall in the distance which was a little disconcerting. Just be aware of where you place your tent and the trees around you. Absolutely beautiful area with wild strawberries and blueberries and salmon berries, currants and more. Loved the peace and tranquillity of this campground but close enough to Prairie City which is where we got firewood (from Mountain View mini mart, no wood at Huffman’s Market & no wood at Austin House market at the top of the pass). We visited the little Sumpter Railroad interpretive site and Bates State Park both great for walking around with kids. Would definitely come back and do more hiking in the Blue Mountains.

Set up as old mining town, the outside of the bldgs has nice antiques and starts you off feeling good about where you're staying. You have to drive through trailer park to get to office, but RV park in the back is nicely spread out. Office wasn't manned when we came in, but forms and codes were readily available. Bathrooms were very clean with great showers! Would stay again if in the area.

Easy access off of I-84, mostly pull through full hookup sites, nicely landscaped with beautiful views! It has a small fenced-in dog park, pool and spa.

After you enter through the trailer park with RV sites in the middle (over flow) you enter a great looking western themed store and office. Staff was very nice. A lot of folks live here full time. Pads are gravel and a little narrow. Very nice grass area. Very clean park. From our spot we had a nice view of the Mt range.

Good RV campground with store, clean showers, laundry, clean bathrooms, electric, water. Sites are a little close but do have grass and a picnic table in between.

Nice little park, few miles off the hwy so no hwy noise. Cut store/ office, friendly staff. Sites are small, just long enough for Rv and tow, gravel and level enough for one night. Great water pressure. Cable tv and strong WiFi.

Just stopped here overnight but really glad we found it. Family owned and operated for several generations. Very clean. Showers and toilets nice andy very clean and water is hot! Has a small pool. Cute general store/office and staff was very nice. Most of sites are pull through. Wifi worked great for us. Overall great RV spot whether it’s just a night or longer.

We were excited about this place because it had great pictures, an amazing view, and some great amenities. When we arrived, we drove into a trailer park... Like the 70s style... There are RV spots among them, and then a while RV area in the rear. The grounds were wet and mushy with snow, and the sites are gravel, so we continued down the road.

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.
