"Beautiful, quiet park located in Vale Oregon. Large pull through full hookup sites with plenty of yard space and space between RVs. Gameroom with a billiards table, ping pong table, and cornhole."
TravelerAs usual another great Oregon State Campground. Appears to be well maintained and clean plus right on the Snake River.
TravelerThere are 10+ dispersed spots north of the campground, some on the river side of the road, and some on the mountain side. We loved ours next to the river. It was private, moderately screened from the road, and best of all, away from other campers!
ScoutClean RV camping on the Snake River. Poor cell service, no WiFi. One shower for 40 + sites. Not crowded for the 2nd week of May. I would stop here again if I am in the area.
GuideConveniently located off the highway if you are traveling.
The spots are pretty close together, A and C loops are very open with no privacy. The B loop has some trees and bushes between the sites which makes it a little more inviting. The A loop is the closest to the road.
We had reserved a spot in C loop with a view of the water but it was so windy when we got there the site was not very comfortable. The camp host graciously let us move up to B loop, since it wasn’t very busy mid-week. Thank goodness we did, it was the windiest night I’ve ever experienced camping.
Sites have electric and water. They have dishwashing water waste stations conveniently thought the campground. The showers are free, had one cold because the water would not warm up. But the men’s shower room had warm showers after a bit of time to heat up.
The bathrooms and showers were clean.
ScoutOnly the Brownlee loop was open in mid-March. There were plenty of sites to choose from with great views of the river. The water was of at sites, but the sites and bathrooms were good.
TravelerNice flat spot with a wide view all around. Its got a few old headstones from the 1800's. Was easily accessible with a 2wd sedan. Good sleeping surface despite dead grass.
LegendFree. Coordinates: 43.43811,-117.11743. Camped here at the end of Sept, 2024. Located at the southern end of Succor Creek State Natural Area, close to the boundary with BLM land. 1/10th of a mile from Succor Creek Road. Access from Succor Creek Road is okay; rocky and eroded in a few places on an uphill drive. The site is located on a loop where the access track ends at a livestock fenced. You pass another large dispersed site on the way up. The dirt site is not quite level. Lots of cow patties. Surrounded by grass and sagebrush. Site has a rock fire ring. Open to sky, no shade; solar recharging and Starlink possible. It may be possible to set up a tent in the grass. There is a view of Succor Creek canyon. Fantastic views of surrounding mountains. No hiking trails, but one can explore that area beyond the fence and get additional views of the canyon and creek. No cell service. Very remote location. Except for a few cows and coyotes, very quiet area. I loved this spot!
ScoutHas come a long ways in the last 10 years. Could still be part of the solution that part of the problem.
TravelerGetting there from the coordinates on this app was easy, although maps said I would have to walk I was easily able to drive a small trailer in all the way back. Nice open spot with lots of places to park, was a bit worried how open it was but there were a few other campers all spread out so it just felt homey.
