Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mitchell, OR
Mitchell City Park provides basic RV sites with electric hookups and water in the heart of town, offering convenient access to nearby attractions including the Painted Hills. The small park contains only four RV sites with no sewer connections and minimal privacy as sites occupy what resembles a parking area adjacent to the grassy park. "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," notes one visitor. Dayville South Fork RV Park, located approximately 25 miles west, features electric hookups, water connections, and a dump station in a more natural setting. Fish House Inn and RV Campground in the same area provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service on grassy pads that accommodate larger rigs.
Several RV parks in the area remain open year-round, though services may be limited during winter months. Dump stations are available at Fish House Inn, Dayville South Fork, and Crook County RV Park in Prineville. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with stronger signals in towns and potential dead zones along travel routes between destinations. Wheeler County Fairgrounds RV Park in Fossil offers full hookups approximately 35 miles northwest of Mitchell, though showers may be seasonally closed. According to a review, the Fairgrounds park "could feel sardine-ish if super busy" but provides adequate space for most rigs. Most parks welcome pets, and travelers should note that summer temperatures can be extreme, with limited shade at many sites.
