    Anson Wright Memorial Park

    Be careful which site you reserve

    Anson Wright Park Campground was a very challenging campground to review, and that's because depending on what section you are in really affects the rating.  I gave it an overall score of 3, but be warned sections can run from zero stars to five stars.  So this will be a detailed review rating almost campsite by campsite.  To start the host of this campground was supper friendly, the campground has play ground and large grass area that the kids can play at.  A small fishing pond is at one end of the campground.  The campground has showers.  Use the restrooms at the "visitor center"  or at the ADA site, do not, and I mean do not attempt to use the outhouses.

    The break down by sites.

    Sites D1 and D2, the end of the campground near the fishing pond.  These two sites are on a hill above the fishing pond and have lots of room, no to little grass and dusty, picnic tables and fire pits - 3 stars

    Site D3 just below D1 and D2, small area next to BBQ area, no fire ring, has a picnic table small parking area, site is right along the campground road. Site is not flat and is bumpy 2-stars.

    Site D4, not sure where this one is, should be next to BBQ area, no sign indicating the site, no clear parking area, not flat, no fire pit. 1-star.

    Site D5, marking parking area, no fire pit, not table, no place to place a tent except on the edge of the gravel road, OK for an RV. 1-star

    Site D6, No clear parking area, grass area for a tent, no fire pit or table, right next to welcome sign. 2-stars

    D7, No clear parking area, no fire pit, no table, grassy area for a tent. 2-stars

    D8, never found it, 0-stars

    D9, just up from the visitor center, decent spot.  Fire ring and table 3-stars

    F7 though F10 get a 2-star.  F8 & F10 have tables, F10 and may F9 have fire rings.  F7 & F8 listed a ADA site, but not really, no fire ring or table.

    F11 good campsite 4-stars

    Cabin A - 5 stars

    F6 - not level 3 stars

    D13 Table, no fire ring, 3 -stars

    D14 good site 4-stars

    D10 decent site 3.5-stars

    D15 unable to find 0-stars

    D22 just a table in the grass, no parking area 1-star

    D11 is marked as D20 on a tree, noting but a big grassy area 1-star

    G2 and G3, decent sites but right on top of each other, table and fire ring, 3-stars

    F5 and G1, right on top of each other, only one has a fire ring but can't tell which site it is for. 2- stars

    F12 Big spot all by its self 4-stars

    F13 through F19, pretty much just a gravel parking area with tables and fire rings 2-stars

    F20 at the edge of the area for F13-19, but it has lots of grass, 3-stars

    D23 through D25, grassy area with one table, no clear area to park, not really marked 1/2-star

    D17 though D21, a Big negative star rating, do not reserve these, no access, overgrown, only one table in area, unable to find where the sites are, not maintained and appears to be area used to burn brush.

    The 5-star sites are sites numbers F1 though F4, these are large roomy drive through sites, you got an RV then these are the sites you want, up on hill above everyone.

    Would I stay here again, yes, but only if i knew I could get a good site, otherwise I will head down the road.

    Antelope RV Park and Campsites

    Awesome campground

    Antelope is a strange and beautiful little place. Part ghost town, part living community, it is often a welcome oasis on the Oregon Outback cycling trail. The path north out of Prineville is a beautiful ascent-descent of the Ochoco Mountains, which is pretty exhausting. If weather is a factor (we arrived in cold, wet and punishing wind) Antelope is a much better place to camp than Shaniko which is 8 miles up on a plateau.

    The RV Park is a work in progress. We arrived without a reservation and were given a very nice spot to camp behind an old diner. Some small a-frame cabins are available with more being built, and a few spots to park campers with sewer dump and 30 amp hookups.

    Overall I give this campground an outstanding rating. Hospitable, well-equipped, well-situated… great spot.

    Lone Tree Campground — Cottonwood Canyon State Park

    Clean, beautiful, quiet, relaxing, family friendly

    First come first serve sites with fire rings. There is overflow camping in the lawn without a fire ring but with a picnic table. Restrooms are very clean and campground is well maintained. Winds can pick up in the canyon so be sure to have strong tent stakes. Right next to the John Day River great walking path along the River. Fenced dog park for your pet and free bicycles for use.

    Lone Tree Campground — Cottonwood Canyon State Park

    Primitive campsites in a quiet, remote canyon

    Ccottonwood Canyon State Park Campground is a lovely, remote primitive camp experience. For the uninitiated, this means no electric sites, no running water, no flush toilets. Its also a rattlesnake habitat in Eastern Oregon's high desert biome, within 30 miles or so of The Dalles, a city marking the change in the Columbia River Gorge from high desert to wooded mountainsides. This camp ground us located deep in a canyon 15 miles from Wasco, Oregon. Before descending into the canyon, you'll see Eastern Oregon's classic golden wheatfields, then a wind farm, with scores of white windmills. The evening I arrived was the night before a full moon, so the setting sun over the canyon and the waxing moon gave a lovely glow to the sights. Unfortunately, my camera phone and photographer skills are lacking; sorry. If you love truly getting away from it all, as I do, you'll appreciate the absolute peace at Cottonwood Canyon. We arrived at dusk, late in July, and as is typical for the region, it was still 90 degrees. Fortunately, my summer tent is mostly screen, allowing the cool canyon breeze in, and it erects quickly and easily. It was full dark by the time I'd pitched it, and outfitted it with my airbed. Because of all the rattlesnake warning signs, I kept my dog leashed or tied out on a campsite-length cable. We parked across the campground from the pit toilets, which were not lighted, so bring a flashlight, cell phone, or lantern for inside the biffy. If this kind of camping appeals to you, you'll be rewarded with a quiet night of no traffic noise, only the sound of the nearby murmuring creek and the breeze in the trees. The other campers here were very quiet and respectful of the rules. The beautiful moonlight set one side of the canyon aglow and the clear sky was filled with stars. I didn't need my rain fly, so could enjoy finding the constellations as I lay in my tent. In the morning, I awoke just before dawn when my dog sat bolt upright and intently watched with me as an elk cow walked through our campsite. The fee here is $10 a.night, and worth every penny!

    Here is the one caveat: as of this writing, (late July 2018) the loud diesel pickup truck that came through to empty trash bins at 6am was jarring. It was followed by the back-up beeping of heavy machinery by 6:30am, as work on a new building commenced near the campground. This was so unfortunate, and I pity the folks that had hoped to sleep in.

    Lone Tree Campground — Cottonwood Canyon State Park

    Quiet, serene, oasis

    This beautiful campground was loaded with amenities. The gorgeous John Day River, was perfect for fishing, swimming, floating. There was several trails within the campground as well as trailheads around the perimeter. We brought our own bikes but if you don’t bring yours, they offered loaner bikes and there were little bike workstations on the grounds. Pet friendly! Including a fenced in dog area (about an acre) and doggie poo bags readily available. We have a truck with camper but the tent sites each had a solar panel to provide electricity for charging the essentials. The grounds must have been a farm originally and the campground designers did an awesome job of using the existing structures to add to the rustic nature and maintain the land’s historic relevance. Cottonwood Canyon surpassed our expectations, especially considering the very low price tag. I cannot recommend highly enough.

    Cutsforth Park Campground

    Cutforth in June.

    This campground has full and partial hookup sites. The roads are gravel and wind their way up a steep hill, but the sites provide decent privacy. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Pit toilets are located in one of the loops, but there are bathrooms with showers near the host site. There is a hiking trail directly from camp into the forest. We loved the serenity of being away from town in the woods where all we could hear were the birds and the creek nearby (and the thunderstorm that passed thru).

    Columbia Hills Historical State Park Campground

    Quiet spot on the Columbia River

    This small state park is tucked alongside the Columbia River and Horsethief Lake. The campground is not large with only 4 regular campsites, 4 walk in sites, 8 partial hookups, a Teepee and 2 platform tents. The grounds surrounding the campground and alongside the lake are large, green grass areas with picnic tables everywhere. There are also archaeological sites with artifacts and pictographs within walking distance of the campground. There was a small kayak/canoe rental place that is run by the super friendly camp host.

    I reserved the Teepee. I arrived a dusk during what would be a very strong wind storm that would last all night and all the next day. When I first went into the Teepee I noticed the canvas at the bottom was so rotten and the inside flap was secured to nothing so every time the wind blew the inside flap would fill up over half the inside and dirt would swirl everywhere. The front door flap was also very rotten and would not secure, so every time the wind blew, the door would fly open and let in more dirt. Needless to say my dog and I lasted about 5 minutes.

    After talking to camp host I was able to get into one of the platform "tents". I later learned from the Park Ranger that stopped by that the canvas on the tents had rotted out in May so he had built what I would call plywood cabins with canvas roofs. There were 2 cabins, each one had 2 windows, 2 sets of bunk beds, a weak light, and a latch secured door. The cabin let in not one bit of wind which was nice, but also got very hot even though it was a cool evening and I had the window open all night. The next day the wind continued, not a big fan of strong sustained wind, but I figured out that when the door was open it created an arc of no wind right in front of the cabin which was nice to sit, watch, and relax. Please note, the cabin is not sealed to the creatures, on the second morning my dog woke me up to a bat that got stuck inside the cabin and was trying to get out, I was able to get the door open and it flew out.

    The downside to the platform cabin is the lack of air flow, which in the summer could be rough. Also the only bathroom was a bit of a walk, but was kept clean and had showers. Also the parking was far away, so again a lot of walking. I was also informed by the Park Ranger that the Teepee would be taken down at the end of the 2018 season with no plans to bring it back.

    Overall it as a good state park if you don't mind the wind and just want to relax. I'm not sure if I would go back but would recommend it to others.

    Antelope RV Park and Campsites

    Wonderful place

    Antelpe is literally out in the middle of nowhere. The ghost town on Shiniko is nearby. The stars are absolutely amazing at night. The a-frames are simple, but comfortable and have heat/air conditioning. There is a great place to sit and make coffee and chat with the other campers. There is still some construction being done, and it will even be more fabulous when completed. I stayed here on the tail end of biking the Oregon Outback.
