    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! Great getaway!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Nez Perce National Forest Seven Devils Campground

    Wow!

    An incredibly beautiful area. It is rugged and feels so wild. Plan to take your time driving up 17 Mile road (takes about an hour to get here from Riggins!). The views are spectacular and easy to find. There are some areas that can be pretty dry and hot, so make sure to plan ahead and bring lots of water. There are several hikes that can be done in a single day or stretched out to multi day trips that go along mountaintops and alpine lakes. I have never seen more than a handful of other groups out here. This is one of my favorite places to go stay. After hiking, camping, and enjoying the mountains, head down to the Salmon for a swim! Watch out for black bears, rattlesnakes, mountain goats in the area.

    Farewell Bend State Recreation Area Campground

    Just a Hop Skip and Jump away from Idaho

    Living in Idaho near the border of Idaho, I was looking for a great catfishing spot on the Snake River. I found this campground along the Snake just on the other side of the border - eastern Oregon. The campgrounds are AWESOME!!! The have all the amenities for RV camping. They do have tent camping sites as well. There is some great history of the area and we were appreciative of how the State Park system displayed it. Great fishing for the shore angler as well as boat anglers. I fished from my kayak and caught crappie and catfish as well as some smallmouth bass. I would definitely camp here again. They do have a dump station for RVs as well as restrooms. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table.

Guide to Halfway

Camping in Halfway, Oregon offers primitive to developed campsite options at 2,600-4,500 feet elevation in the shadow of the Wallowa Mountains. Summer temperatures typically range from 50-90°F, with cool nights even in July and August. The area serves as a gateway to the Eagle Cap Wilderness with access to multiple national forests.

What to do

Hiking from campgrounds: Hurricane Creek Campground provides direct access to Hurricane Creek Trail in the Eagle Cap Wilderness. "This is a small campground with limited amenities, but a nice amount of privacy for each site. The creek lives up to it's name and is very loud," notes Sara R. from Hurricane Creek Campground.

Creek exploration: Multiple campgrounds offer creek access for wading and cooling off. At Catherine Creek State Park Campground, one camper mentioned, "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 besides relaxing."

Wildlife viewing: The area supports diverse wildlife populations. A Catherine Creek visitor noted, "We had plenty of critters - plenty of butterflies, a few more spiders than I usually notice... We also saw plenty of birds, snacking away on bugs in the trees or grass, as well as a few hummingbirds."

What campers like

Natural water features: Campers consistently mention the creeks and rivers. At Hurricane Creek Campground, one camper described their stay: "Could hear nothing but the rushing river. Be bear aware here. Didn't see any bears, but they were around the week before I came. River is fast. Keep an eye on your dogs!"

Privacy between sites: Blackhorse Campground offers well-spaced camping areas. "Nice and well maintained campground by the Imnaha River. Plenty of sites with a decent distance between them," writes Andrew L. Another visitor confirms: "The sites were well-maintained and relatively private."

Star viewing: The remote location allows for excellent night sky viewing. "The water was of at sites, but the sites and bathrooms were good," mentions a Farewell Bend State Recreation Area camper, where many enjoy the clear night skies away from city light pollution.

What you should know

Road conditions: Some campgrounds require navigating unpaved roads. A Buck Park Cabin visitor warned, "In the summer, the long rough road into it is not for everyone. Scenery is good and very quiet. If you want remote with the bare basics, this is the place."

Weather variability: The area can experience significant temperature swings. "We scheduled three nights here but after two nights of amazing lightning storms, we skipped the third night," reported Jim B. from Hurricane Creek Campground.

Water quality concerns: Water quality varies between locations. While Fish Lake Campground offers pristine spring water, other locations may have more silty water. At Brownlee Campground, a camper noted, "Ok place. Wasn't overcrowded when there in October. No amenities but you can have a fire there. Was pretty peaceful."

Tips for camping with families

Noise considerations: Choose campsites based on your noise tolerance. One Farewell Bend State Recreation Area Campground visitor shared, "The park is large and the sites are well spaced. You can walk down the long grass to the river and down steps to the water. Or just sit around camp and squirrel watch!"

Water safety: Fast-moving creeks require close supervision. "Hurricane Creek Campsite is super nice. Sits right along Hurricane Creek and has a lot of well maintained spots. My one caution would be that if you have dogs keep them on a leash because if they were to get in the creek that would be all she wrote," advised Andrew L.

Yurt camping options: For families seeking yurt camping near Halfway, Oregon, Grande Hot Springs RV Resort offers comfortable alternatives to tent camping. A visitor described their yurt experience: "The Yurt was clean and fresh with a private courtyard and soaking tub backing up to a pond looking up a hillside."

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Many RV parks offer pull-through sites of varying sizes. At Mountain View RV Park, a visitor noted, "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."

Water pressure awareness: Check water pressure before connecting. "As the water pressure here is around 100 psi, you need to use a reducer," advised an RVer at Mountain View.

Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts site conditions significantly. "The grounds were wet and mushy with snow, and the sites are gravel," reported one RVer who ultimately decided to find alternative accommodations during spring thaw.
