    Overview:

    NOTE: Chickahominy Reservoir was nearly dry in 2022. An abundance of area snowpack and subsequent ground-moisture content could very-likely refill the reservoir in 2023, however, the fishery may underproduce. It will be restocked in 2023 if conditions are favorable. One of Eastern Oregon's most popular fishing spots, man-made Chickahominy Reservoir was first stocked with rainbow trout in the summer of 1967. It is still stocked once or twice a year with fingerlings and legal-size fish. The water level fluctuates with the amount of spring run-off and can be low at times, affecting the availability of fisheries. The recreation site offers 28 campsites, a fish cleaning station, drinking water, vault restrooms and a boat ramp. The extensive valley where Chickahominy Reservoir lies is surrounded by foothills, distant buttes and rough ridges - a landscape that provides far-reaching views of the open high desert country.

    Know Before You Go:

    The fishing season peaks in June and resumes in September as the hot summer weather ends. Ice fishing is popular from December to late February.Shade is limited and strong winds are common; be prepared to tie everything down. Five, eight-inch minimum length trout per day limit; bait is allowed.

    Point of Interest:

    Wildlife species common to the area include mule deer, pronghorn antelope, black-tailed jackrabbits, coyotes, and ground squirrels. A variety of waterfowl, raptors and songbirds frequent the area as well.Chickahominy Brochure

    Superstarr!

    Nice area close to the road. Plenty of room for my small trailer. Though it was close to the road it wasn’t very noisy. I camped in site 9 so 1/4 mile away from the road. Only issue last role of TP.

    Van Camper Likes this RV Park

    Normally don't stay in RV parks while traveling in our camper van, but we needed to do laundry, take showers, replenish our water supply, and recharge our power storage units after days of dispersed & primitive camping. We really liked this RV park. Tina, who checked us in, was fantastic - very friendly and welcoming. She even gave our dog treats! She put us in site #39 which was not next to big rigs. We used the water & electric at the site. Reasonably priced. The park was very clean. The laundry room and restroom/shower rooms were also clean. The meals at the cafe were good, along with good service. We weren't enthusiastic about staying at an RV park, but we were glad we did. Fit our needs for an overnight stay.

    Burns RV Park

    Was ok for 1 night

    Needed a place to pitch a tent for the night and stopped here. The park is fairly large and has a lot of shade trees around it. Unfortunately, I guess the tent area they normally use was closed and I was directed to pitch my tent behind the front office. It was a small shaded grassy area. For $20, it worked. The only real complaint I would have was the bathroom area could have used some cleaning, both inside and out, washing and cleaning of showers, sinks, shelves, sweeping up of dirt and leaves around the building.

    Great campground in Burns

    I stayed here years ago and had a good experience so stayed again. Yes, it’s by the main road, but you’re also pretty much right out of town. Road quiets down to nothing at night. It’s still warm in September, so got a spot with shade. Super comfortable. Love all the quail, squirrels and listening to coyotes at night. Drove out to do the Steens Mountain loop, see the Round Barn, etc. Love this area and nice to come back to a comfortable site.

    Okay place for a night

    I don't know about the pass but took to turn off and proceeded down the road to the first set of trees off the road. Ther e are driveways among the trees that will allow small to medium vehicles. There's an open field (with plenty of rocks and boulders-not for driving on) that affords a view to the northeast. It is hot here now, 90s to 100.

    Disappointed

    The campsite was level and shady. However, there was a lot of trash on and around it. The restrooms and showers definitely needed attention. They were equipped with soap, toilet tissue, and paper towels, but had not been cleaned in quite a long time. Also, both loops were blocked with campsites, so be prepared to have to back up your trailer or camper.

    Quick access

    My husband and I checked it out to see if it could be a good place to stop for the night while we are traveling and found it to be a perfect for that. It’s far enough off the road but not to far to get on and off HWY 20.

    A Quick Overnight Stop

    This is nothing more than a place to overnight that has electricity and water only. It is a store that has added 12 RV spots to their property. It is not really even a pretty location, but if you are tired and want power to your RV for the night, it is a good stop. No sewer hook ups. I had 4 bars LTE with my AT&T service. It is a major highway, so there is noise, but it did not really bother me. The store has lots of snacks, and it has Archery supplies if you are a hunter.

    Convenient, but minimal

    Website misled as to having a lodge. View to the southwest was very good. Water, electrical, and sewer were good. Not much else here. It’s basically a gravel parking lot with spaces set aside for campers. It was easy off and on the highway. Also easy to pull into the sites. Camp host was very responsive to our questions.

    Harney County Fairgrounds

    Good Overnighter

    This review is based on an overnight versus destination campground (CG). We followed our RV GPS to Harney County Fairgrounds. We saw the fairground entrance sign, turned into the main fairground area, and stopped in front of the office. We had called the fairground office about a week prior and left a message to call us back, which was quickly returned. The nice lady on the phone said camping was first come, first serve, and if there was no one in the office and it was normal work hours, a worker on the grounds would help us. She also said that there was nothing going on that week, so come on in. No one was at the office, so we proceeded straight into the fairgrounds. We came upon a worker, and he came over and led us to the new full hook-up area, which is in the southwest corner of the grounds. The gentleman could not have been nicer, giving us a rundown on the fairgrounds and camping areas, including opening up the new bathhouse/restroom that is located in the 30-site fenced FHU area. There was no one camping at the time, so he told us to pick any site and either pay him (cash or check) or put the payment in the slot at the office. That evening another camper came into the FHU area and another into the water and electric sites, which are at the end of the office road where you curve around and head to the FHU area about 150 yards further down the road. We chose site 18 as it had the lowest sewer connection, as most were 4 to 6 inches or more above the ground. The water, which we were told was very good/clean water, had water pressure at about 60 PSI, so we used a reducer. The pads are not marked, but you can figure out how they are laid out. Depending on how busy the FHU area might be, you could be parked very close to each other. There are a few street light poles. Overall, the FHU area is just a big parking lot but worked well as an overnighter. There are huge areas to walk or run your dog. We had stayed in the area before, and the fairgrounds are a bit cheaper than the other campgrounds in the area, but you don’t get a picnic table or other amenities other than the bathhouse. Call 541-573-6447 after hours or if no one is around to check in. Highly recommend that If it's your first time, don’t come in after dark as the sites are not well marked, and you could run over the FHU area utilities. Take a right out of the FHU area, as that road is the recommended exit. Though on the pricey side for what you get, we’d rather have the privacy and spaciousness to let our dogs run.

    Completely oversold on websire

    What a joke! This is a gravel parking lot with 10 packed in spaces. The “view” the describe is a car junkyard on one side and a shed dealership on the other. The lodge they show on the website is a private residence with signs all around saying to keep out. There is literally nothing here but hookups. So the price at 40 a night is reasonable because you would only stay here if you need a place to rest on your travels. The website should be upfront about what this place really is - a parking lot on a hill.

    Easy off and on US Route 20. Easy to maneuver on the property, into and out of the sites. Sites are spacious. Yet close together. Baby trees will provide shade one day. Property is on a hill. View of the valley, and there's a nice breeze when the wind blows.

    It’s especially sweet when you find kind, interesting folks in what seems like the middle of nowhere. Do yourself a favor and stop here to stretch your legs, romp your dog at the fenced pet area, meet some blessed rescue animals, or stay the night with amenities. You’ll be glad you did. It will restore your faith in humanity. We could all use some of that.

    Would stay here again.

    Easy pull-through, good size, level, clean, good water pressure, and electric. There are young trees between each site. It will be a couple more years and some pruning before they can provide a reasonable amount of shade. Park is up on a hill with a great view, close to the highway, but quiet. The camp host was friendly. Hope they reopen their restaurant someday. Plenty of places to eat in town. The town has all the amenities one may need.

    Quail Ridge RV park

    Newer, Basic overnight place

    This is in Burns/Hines Oregon. This town is basically a stopover between Boise/Treasure Valley and Bend, Oregon. This park is well suited just for an overnight on the road. The whole property is graveled. All the hookups are in great shape and the whole place looks new-ish. The water pressure is about 100PSI, so use your regulator unless you want to risk popping your plumbing at some place or another. The town has many restaurants, fast food, convenience stores, car parts, car washes, etc. There is a pet park. The host/manager was very down to earth and helpful and greeted us in his golf cart as soon as we pulled up. I recommend this place for a quick/clean stopover. We'll use it again to break up our driving hours. There's not much to see or do in Burns/Hines. The WIFI is excellent coverage and strength and speed. Supports WIFI 6.0. Verizon 3bars.

    Crane Hot Springs

    Clean and relaxing!

    We had RV spot #20 in the newer section and away from the lodging area. I think we would choose one closer to the pond next time so that we can get in more often! The pond is beautifully landscaped and clean, and everything is very clean. There are quite a few "rules", and the texts seemed a bit rude....but all of that resulted in a quiet, pleasant stay. A few up charges to watch for: $20 per extra guest $2 towel rental $10 per person early arrival charge. Great place. We'll stay again next year!

    Nice spot to stay awhile

    Quiet campground Mid May. Great site to stay awhile and bike in the Strawberry Range  topped with whip cream this time of year.

    Big Creek was swollen with run off and grouse were busy with mating calls (flapping wings) from near by fallen logs.

    Easy back-in sites for rv's, tables, fire pits, clean pit toilets. 

    Nice biking trails if you want to explore.

    The Narrows RV Park

    An oasis in the high desert

    General: To say there are not many choices to camp around here would be an understatement! Fortunately, our stay turned out to be decent. We were greeted cheerfully by Tina (she and her husband Scott own the park). This place mainly attracts birders in the spring, hunters in the fall, and people passing through (this was us). There is a mix of back-in and pull-through sites. The back-in sites are along the east and north sides of the property with the pull-throughs in the center. There is a coin-operated laundry, store/gift shop, and restaurant. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but did indulge in Tina’s delicious homemade fruit turnovers! 

    Site Quality: All sites are level on gravel. Each site has a nice patio with a plastic picnic table, fire ring, and bbq platform. There are some trees scattered throughout but when we were there, they had not quite bloomed yet. Our site (34) was at the end of the row which gave us privacy on one side. Backs up to a fence and you will hear some road noise from the road behind it, but it is minimal. 

    Bathhouse: Three all-in-one units with a code to enter. Entering was a little tricky until we got the hang of it but once in, the units were clean. Showers take quarters. 

    Activities: Not much for us as we were passing through but a nice haven for birders (the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is close by) and convenient for hunters. Note that on GPS it looks like Mudd Lake is fairly close by, but the lake has been dry for at least 10 years according to Tina! Again, this was a pleasant stay for us as we were traveling through.
