  NICE STOPOVER

  Very nicely maintained campground with full hookups. Clean showers. Level spots.

  The only drawback is the close vicinity to Hwy. 84 which made it quite noisy.

  Beautiful campground

  I camped here during the summer season of 2023. When I pulled into the campground it was just me and the camp hosts. They gave me the pick of what site I wanted. I swooped on one next to the river. The campground was beautiful and sites were good distances from each other. There are bathrooms and areas to top off your water. I choose this campground due to driving the 395 as my choice of route to explore. I would 100% recommend this campsite again.

  Played games and found a little spot down to the water we enjoyed. Store close by to grab sodas for our burgers that night. Clean campground and bathrooms. Very friendly hosts!

  Easy stop

  I've driven by for years and recently had the opportunity to stop in between a couple of long travel days.  Site was level and surrounded by beautiful trees.  We had a nice walk through the campground.  It was not crowded, being a weekday in October.

  I was amazed at the freeway noise.  Very loud.  Didn't really have trouble sleeping, but certainly not quitly peaceful, unfortunately.

  Great heritage site!

  Fishhook Park

  Remote CoE Campground on Lake Sacajawea

  General: 41 RV sites with water and electric plus 11 tent sites in a grassy common area.

  Site Quality: Reasonable separation between the sites. The back-in sites are wide enough to comfortably fit a TT, 5th wheel or RV and your toad or other vehicle side-by-side. The pull-through sites are very large. All sites have gravel camper pads and most appeared very level or had a level area. Our site, along with several others, had a nice view of Lake Sacajawea. 

  Bath/Shower house: Clean even if a little dated. Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on that except that the hooks are located outside of the shower stalls so even though there is a swinging door to the shower area, privacy is compromised a bit by this design. 

  Activities: Unless you have a boat (there is a boat launch and dock), not too much to do here except relax. There is a small swimming area but no beach to speak of (grassy and pebbly area). There is a playground and horseshoe pits but no hiking trails that I could see. 

  To get to this campground, you drive past many miles of apple orchards and then suddenly, you see the lake and campground. There are quite a few trees for shade. Surprisingly good cell (Verizon) given the remoteness of the campground. Be aware there are train tracks nearby and you will hear an occasional loud train. It was very quiet on the Wednesday before Labor Day, but we were told it would be completely full on the weekend.

  A Pleasant Site

  Be sure to stop at the entrance cabin, even if it appears empty. Our site, #9, was maybe 100 Rey from the Columbia. It. Was, however, roughly half way between the restrooms and the showers which were both about 100 yards away. We were very tired the first night and the noises from the industrial traffic on the river did not prevent us from sleeping. Not so the second night. You can also her the semi’s crossing the bridge . Mosquitoes were present but our device kept them away.

  Private and peaceful

  Well spaced private campsites. Limited access to the river because of the brush. Fee was $10 per night. No cell service.

  Camp near Tri-Cities

  Lovely campground with access to the lake. Not the most beautiful view with the industrial buildings on the other side, but it’s peaceful and quiet. Electrical hookups. Water and a dump station available to campers near the entrance. Great playgrounds and a swimming beach. Sites 14 and 15 would be great for two families camping together.

  Watch for the Sprinklers!

  I appreciate the green in this park, but hate that the sprinklers have to be running almost non-stop to keep it that way. The noise of them scared my cat. 

  Tried to check in early, but was not allowed. Hung out in the day-use area. 

  The sites were big and some nice trees. 

  Electric, but no water. Was told to fill up jugs at the faucets scattered around the park. The water was disgusting! I filled one jug and it came out a light brown color. The park host saw the expression on my face and came over to tell me the water is tested every day and is safe to drink. Safe or not, I was not about the drink that. 

  There's a nice walk around a pond in the back of the campground. Overall, a decent place to stay if you're in the area, but not my favorite.

  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.

  Scouting out makes all the difference

  Wallowa-Whitman NF

  NF 21 

  aka Spring Creek Campground 

  La Grande, OR

  45.2125.6N, 118.1843.3W (Campground)

  45.3679N, 118.2972W (signboard)

  45.36944, -118.29997 (2nd spot)

  14 Day limit

  V 4g/2-3b, ATT 4g/1-2b (no booster)

  Dirt & grass

  Campground:

  Not for bigger rigs. 4 spots fairly close together, picnic tables, pit toilets.  Loop in is tight, and while we are only 34' long, we're 13.8 on truck and had to do some creative maneuvering to get ourselves back out. Cell signal here was almost non existent, and fairly dense tree cover if using solar.

  There was one spot on the left before getting to the Campground we could have fit into, but again, dense tree cover. Didn't check cell signal here.

  There is supposed to be more spots past the campground,  but we haven't taken the bikes out yet to explore. 

  Signboard:

  Easily found a spot, even on Labor Day weekend (Friday).  This area could handle 4 or 5 rigs. Cell signal better, but still bounced in/out a bit. We stayed here 2nts to get past the holiday weekend.  Picked up a lot of micro trash, spent shells, and broken bottles. This is also the area where a lot of a sxs park for Day Use. VERY dusty area.

  2nd Spot:

  WOW what a difference.  After we decided to hang out in the area for a bit longer, we knew we had to move off the main road as the dust was making our solar pout. As you come in, just before the signboard there is a road going up a hill to the right. It looks intimidating,  but can be done going slow in 4wd. We found 3 great spots up there without going back very far. 

  There are spots further back, as we saw people pulling trailers out, but we haven't explored them yet. We chose the 1st spot on the left for the full solar and gorgeous view of the meadow, tree line, and mountains in the distance. Cell signal comes in stronger on this ridge, but still a little fickle without a booster... note to self, get booster. Picked up medium sized and micro trash here, as well as bullet casings and broken bottles... and a special thanks to whomever left a bag of rotting frozen chicken wings...that was fun, but the view is worth it, and SO MUCH LESS dust.

  There is a spot across (right side of road) where we've had over nights pull in late, but they left by 9am and both were very quiet setting up. Other than them, and the people from further back pulling out after the weekend, we've been alone up here.

  There is a GORGEOUS spot further up on the right, but I couldn't get any signal.

  From all but the campground,  you will hear road noise. I84 is just beyond the trees. I pretend it's waves (don't judge), my husband uses ear plugs. We've both had no issues sleeping.  

  If we had only had the 1st 2nts experience I would say we would only be back as a last minute overnight, having discovered this other area, yep we'd be back no problem. 

  As with all boondocking,  scouting out is the key.

  Family Vacation

  We stayed here 2 nights and other than some spiders on our stuff in the morning, and that seems to be only on the sites under the trees, I have zero complaints and will be back next time for a longer stay. The park is very clean and while there are no water hookups they do have filling stations to fill tanks or whatever you use. They also don’t have sewer hookups but do have an on-site dump station for you to empty out. Bathrooms were immaculate and they provided free showers which is a bonus because most places charge for them. Campsites are cozy but spacious and depending on your site you can be right on the Snake River. Beautiful place and had it not been for the alcohol ban it would have got 5 stars

  Easy to access - pleasant facility

  A pleasant facility that is easy to drive and maneuver with a tow behind trailer. Sites were fairly level with lawn and a picnic table. Property is well maintained.

  Sites 1-5 are across from the office and along the road out - so one needs to anticipate truck noise and idling early morning when people might be leaving. 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).

  The casino and golf course are adjacent - but it’s a good hike; use the shuttle or just drive over. The casino facility have several restaurants and movie theaters. The City of Pendleton is about 10 minutes west should you need food or supplies.

  Noisy freeway

  Beautiful setting in old growth timber. Freeway is literally adjacent, so entire campground is road noise. Some spots are directly looking over the freeway (A06) so try to get ones further west. The bathrooms are clean and there are a few short hiking trails. Maybe good for an overnight or if you plan to go elsewhere during the day. But not a place to spend much time.

  Great stopover. Would stay here again.

  We stayed over on the Thursday night, which is a little less than on the weekend. The site was level, power checked out good and sewer and water were also provided. There is a picnic table. The pads are gravel, and there is a substantial amount of groomed lawn. The casino offers a free shuttle to the casino, or the golf course club house. We ate at Traditions, which was fine for burgers and beer. Later I saw that the food court has some interesting options. There is also a nicer restaurant that requires reservations.

  The only bathroom/shower was right by the office. While it wasn't crowded, it was far from our site.  The showers have a shelf made of tubes to put your gear. They do not provide a stool, bench or anywhere to sit to remove shoes. Overall the bathrooms were clean and modern.

  Winter wonderland

  When we arrived after dark the 200 ft path to our cabin was cleared and we could easily drag our items stacked on a tarp to our cabin. The cabin does share a wall with another party but it was funny to hear the children laugh and play. It was below zero but the electric heater kept us toasty warm. The bathroom and shower is about 300 ft away if you walk through two feet of snow. We brought a collapsible toilet to have on the covered porch. Drove up to the bathroom when needed. The park ranger spent all day moving snow and keeping the roads through the campground excellent. The bathrooms and showers are always clean. The day we left the park ranger came and moved another foot of snow so we could easily pack out. We brought our instant pot and warmed are already prepared foods. If you don't want things to freeze you got to keep them in your cooler. We brought lots of cozy blankets and could hotspot the computer to watch movies. Make sure you follow trip check for closures of i-84 if camping during snow.

  Good free FS campground

  Came here for an overnight stop while traveling through the area. Solid spot - 4 large sites with level spots, fire ring, picnic tables, vault toilet. Arrived around 5pm on a Saturday in October and 3 spots were available - the others filled up after me. Quiet and beautiful while being close to the highway. Perfect and pleasant for my overnight stop
