One of Eastern Oregon___s largest Forest Service campgrounds, Union Creek Campground is located 18 miles South of Baker City.

The historic gold mining town of Sumpter is about 10 miles away, West of Hwy 7. Visitors can explore the Sumpter Dredge State Heritage Park, browse the holiday weekend flea markets or take a ride on a historic steam locomotive.

Lake Owyhee State Park is a remote oasis on the eastern edge of Oregon that offers camping and boating on the shore of a scenic desert canyon reservoir. The park contains two campgrounds along Owyhee Reservoir, a 53-mile-long lake that fills a narrow, deep canyon brimming with colorful volcanic rock formations.
BLM manages more than 267,000 acres of public lands in the Owyhee River Wilderness. The Owyhee Canyonlands is a huge and remote area of eastern Oregon, southwestern Idaho and northern Nevada. Hidden within this vast high desert plateau are deep canyons carved by the Owyhee, Bruneau and Jarbidge Rivers. The rivers of the Owyhee and Bruneau-Jarbidge systems offer something for nearly every level of boating experience. The Owyhee and Bruneau-Jarbidge river systems provide visitors with unsurpassed solitude in canyons of unique beauty and form.

The Gordon Gulch Day-use Area is open year-round and includes picnic tables and a boat ramp. Many boaters return each year to explore the desert canyon and rugged mountains. Some of the reservoir's incredible geology is visible only by boat. Anglers are awarded excellent warm water catches, especially large mouth bass, white and black crappie. The reservoir also has catfish and is occasionally stocked with rainbow trout. Look for golden eagles, coyotes, ground squirrels, rabbits, pronghorn antelope, mule deer, and wild horses (watch out for rattlesnakes, too). You might even see California bighorn sheep or a mountain lion.

The following is information about the park and the check-in and Reservation process:
We are a county Campground with a great layout, grass and trees along the eastern edge of the Bully Creek Reservoir. (Map attached) We have showers and restrooms which are included in your camping fee and therefore not an extra cost. The Park season is April 15th to November 15th each year. Most sites are "back-in".
Our fees are $15.00 per camping unit per night. We can only accept cash or checks. (If paying with cash, please have the exact amount as we are not making change in the office at this time. If paying by check, please make checks payable to "Bully Creek Park.") We cannot process credit/debit cards.
We take phone reservations and you are also welcome to drop in if you are unsure of your dates. Most weekends from May though mid-July will become fully booked so if arriving over a weekend, reservations are strongly recommended. We write reservations in the book and have you pay upon arrival. If you are not able to make it, we ask that you call us so we have a chance to re-rent the site.
All sites have power (20-30-50 amp) but not all sites have water. Some sites are close enough to a faucet that you can hook up with a 'Y' splitter so other folks can still access the water. Right now, the Well water is testing high for Arsenic (has been a problem in the area for years) So it is safe to bathe in or wash dishes but it is suggested that you bring alternative forms of drinking water. There is NO Arsenic in Bully Creek Reservoir. One dump is also included in the cost of your stay (approximately once a week).
Check in and check out is noon.
Just as you cross over the dam, you will see the lake on the left hand side and the caretakers house on the left hand side. Drive down the pull through driveway.
There is a door on the side of the building that says "office". We are doing contact-less check-in at the office so there is a table with literature and a registration Roster for you to complete. Payment envelopes will be in the card holders on the door. Put your payment in the envelope for your site then put it through the "mail" slot in the door. Receipts will be available later that day or the next morning depending on what time you arrive.
Thank you for your interest in Bully Creek Park!
