Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mitchell, OR

The campground was very nice. Stayed for one night in a full hook up site for $45. All of the lots were paved and kind of level. It was quiet for such a full area with some long term campers and a few families staying and very friendly. There is a full restroom with showers that were open! Very clean

Across the street is a family park with a children’s fishing pond that is stocked with rainbow trout for anyone 17 and under. Will definitely come back here again

Nice, scenic campground nearby Smith Rock SP. Clean pit toilets, friendly camp host. Several sites with Juniper trees to shade you from the hot sun. Price is $10 for single/$20 double vehicle as of 08/2022. No RV hookups or running water here. Just outside of the campground along the FS Road are plenty of dispersed campsites, some with great views of the backside of Smith Rock and the surrounding area. Definitely will put this on my favorites list for future exploration and camping.

We are teardroppers and generally shun RV parks, but this one was near a bike route we wanted to ride. We were surrounded by ginormous RVs. Very nice facilities, clean and modern, but they don’t allow campfires at your site. Sites are pretty much all asphalt drive through, very little privacy. Hookups for those who want them.

Not sure what some people are complaining about. This small four site RV “Park” located in a public park in the town of Mitchell, Oregon is perfect if wanting to visit John Day National Monument. Very close to the painted hills and the road to Fossil. For only $25 with electric and water, it's a steal, especially after boon-docking for a few days. Close to a small store that carries a lot of stuff. Plus the Tiger Town Brewing—all any camper needs. Right ? Would definitely stay here again.

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.

81 rv full hookup sites tightly packed in a small area. Not much shade or privacy.

This is the first campground after descending from the Prineville Reservoir.  It is the only campground of the several along this section of the Crooked River with a campground host and water.  The water came from a hand pump, something you cannot use to fill and RV as it spurts and sputters like any well pump and you cannot fit a hose to the wide nozzle.  There are two water faucets in the campground, but during my visit before Memorial Day, they were not working.  The best place to get potable water and dump is the Crook County RV Park just 20 minutes down the road on the outskirts of Prineville.  Very nice site, dump fee $10 by credit card, potable water $5 (free with dump).  One of the few dump sites with a threaded hose allowing my to use my black tank flush.

Verizon service rare to none.

First appearance very rustic, but there are many full hookup sites. Made reservations but when we arrived found campers squatting in our spot. Camp host had become ill and was not present. Called the county and they handled the matter swiftly. We were given another site along with a site for friends that joined us.

A little fishing pond with small trout jumping. Very quiet and lovely campground.

First come first serve spot in Mitchell. Grocery store, cafe and brewery within walking distance. Nice lay over spot with easy access to the painted hills. Sites are close and tight getting into the spot with a trailer….but doable. Friday night of July 4th weekend we were the only ones in the campground. We would stay again if passing through here.

Reallly enjoyed this place was our first spot on a long Or trip and first time in our trailer the spots are nice and even, decently spaced. Sewer, water, 30/50 amp hook ups are easy access camp host we had was really sweet Bathrooms are super nice, clean, great showers. Didn’t use laundry but a little pricier than most. I believe $3 per wash and $3 to dry really impressed with this place and will be back (great central place for rock hounds)

Date Stayed: July 9th& 10th 2019 Campsite:#8 needed 3 inch left side lift to level Price:$13 no electricity Dump Station: No Altitude: 4730 ft Camp Host: Caroline was attentive and very friendly.

John Day Fossil Monument 30 minute drive away. Wife and I enjoyed the campground, sites were surrounded by pines.

Near the painted hills of Oregon! Not much to it, but there are restrooms with running water. Caught a ride from here to the hills for sunset.

Mitchell is a nice little town in central Oregon.

As other reviewers stated, this campground is free, and secluded, but maintained. We were looking for a spot around Painted Hills/John Day Fossil Beds/John Day, and this worked out as we pulled into the last spot available (6 total). There were a couple RVs and trailers and a few tents. Road to get to the campground was paved, but watch out for free roaming cows! There was a trail and creek nearby with a trough to fill up water - I’d recommend filtering before drinking. There are picnic tables and rock fire rings, and one vault toilet. Not much else to it, but like I said, FREE and relatively clean.

We came upon this gem on the pass late afternoon after a long drive. This campground has 25 sites including 5 level pull throughs with more than adequate length for our long truck and trailer. July 11 and no mosquitoes, lovely flowers, perfect temperature for sleeping.

Pit toilets and no water, but the price reflects the level of service. Nice campground host. Lots of area between campsites. Fire pits, picnic tables. Paved campground road, graded gravel sites.

The best part is the Ponderosa Pine forest that surrounds the campground. Trees up to 150’ .

One group site available by reservation , the rest are first come first serve.

May the Forest be With You.
