    Midway Campground

    Quiet, secluded, and close to hiking.

    The campground has only has 5 sites, but we were the only campers. We camped the first week of June, so days were warm and it got cool enough at night to sit close the campfire. There are plenty of logging trails to hike within walking distance, and more a short drive away. The drive to Midway is beautiful, worth it even if you don't plan to stay overnight. There is one very clean vault toilet on site. No water, so bring your own.

    Sweet but loud

    The road noise is extreme; very loud. If you can get past that the place is really sweet. The sites have water fire pit and picnic table and lots of trees for privacy. The water in the shower was hot the bathrooms are clean there's a nice trail system behind the campground. a convenient stop on the way into Portland. Minimal bugs.

    Thimbleberries and plenty of room

    We stopped for a night in a rustic camping cabin at Emigrant Springs in July of 2015. It was a welcome dose of green after a long day of brown along the interstate through Idaho and western Oregon. The cabin was rustic, the shower house was in good repair with nice hot showers. There seemed to be good space and shade around the sites offering some privacy. Great spot! Take the time to stop in Meacham on the West side of I-84 tomstop at The Oregon Trail Cafe - literally the ONLY store in this teeny town. Wonderful hospitality, the local ‘scoop’ and great breakfast.

    Quiet and easy

    Cool quiet place. It’s plowed in the winter. There wasn’t much snow here on January 5-6th, 2025. It’s direct access onto the road from the highway exit. It’s a rough road about 1.2 miles, that’s bumpy and has lots of pot holes. Snow coverage on the road was minimal, max 2”. The actual camp area is concrete platforms with a picnic table and fire pit in a roundabout around the vault restroom.

    Spiders and mosquitoes.

    Aug. 28th-30th is space #24. Lots of very large spiders everywhere. Mosquitoes were super bad. Nice fire pits but you can't have fires. Showere were decent. They need to be updated. Lots of green grass and lots of shade. All in all not bad. We will be back. Hopefully with less spiders.

    Loudest campground in the state

    Terrible tent camping experience. This campground is TOO close to the highway and too noisy even with ear plugs or music. We could barely sleep nor have a conversation while sitting across each other for breakfast. I would advice to only stay here if you have an RV camper. The bathrooms were very clean, great trails and the interpretive center was very educational. No complaints there.

    Very nice setting but a little too noisy

    We spend a night there in July on our way to Boulder Colorado. The campground is quite nice and bathrooms were clean and providing all needed functionality. Large and tall trees provided a very welcome shade during the heatwave we were going through. The only issue was that, we were tent camping and being close to the highway it was quite noisy.

Guide to Milton-Freewater

Camping options near Milton-Freewater, Oregon stretch across diverse terrain ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 feet elevation, creating varied microclimates throughout the camping season. Summer temperatures typically reach 85-95°F during day hours with nighttime lows dropping to 45-55°F even in midsummer. Forest Service roads accessing remote camping areas often require high-clearance vehicles, particularly when accessing Mottet Campground during its limited seasonal operation.

What to do

Fishing access: 10-minute drive from Milton-Freewater at Tucannon Campground: "Tucannon is a place I've been coming to since I was a kid. Absolutely love the area. Quiet and away from others," notes Sean S. The area provides multiple fishing opportunities.

Stargazing: Best mid-week at Mottet Campground where light pollution is minimal. "First off - you will need a higher clearance vehicle to reach this campground, and signage may be limited so make sure you know your step by step directions beforehand," advises Aaron B., adding important access information for those seeking this remote experience.

What campers like

Natural springs and wildlife viewing: "Whitetail doe with 2 fawns frequented the campground. Lots of fishing, some small trails and wound up walking down the dirt road with dogs as there was literally no traffic and the views were so outstanding," reports Jill R. about her experience at Minam State Recreation Area.

Secluded forest atmosphere: "We were the only ones there. It's super quiet, very shaded, a really ideal campground," says Aaron B. about Mottet Campground, providing contrast to more developed sites in the region.

Casino entertainment access: "The RV park is well behind the casino complex - you need to drive past the truck stop and casino going north to reach the access road (it's on the way to the golf course)," explains Stephen M. about Wildhorse Casino, offering important navigation details for first-time visitors.

What you should know

Highway noise levels: "The road noise is extreme; very loud. If you can get past that the place is really sweet," notes sparkleblaster S. about Emigrant Springs State Heritage Area, providing an important consideration for light sleepers.

Limited bathroom facilities: "The only bathroom/shower was right by the office. While it wasn't crowded, it was far from our site," Tim G. explains about Wildhorse Casino, highlighting potential inconveniences for campers at certain sites.

Seasonal closures and access limitations: Spring Creek Campground becomes challenging during wet conditions. "As you come in, just before the signboard there is a road going up a hill to the right.
