Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Pendleton, OR

This site was right next to Fort Walla Walla, with a park and dog park. Not much else here but weird animal statues and long-term RVers. Lots of hookups for RV and trailers. No tent or car camping. The bathrooms were still closed June 2021, need to use your own hookups.

Our GPS took us right to the campground (CG) plus there was plenty of Blue Valley RV Park signage to guide the way into a small industrial area and the adjacent golf course. Check-in was quick and we proceeded to back-in site 8 with FHUs. The utilities are towards the back of the pad, so I had to use two sewer hoses to get from the main black tank on our Brinklely G model. The sites on this side of the CG are nicely landscaped with a decent amount of room. After reviewing all the rules on line, we were a little concerned but the management was not overbearing and there are four main rules as displayed when you check in 1) 5 mph speed limit, 2) don’t park in the road) 3) pick up after your pet, and 4) pets on a leash. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. We got 4 bars on Verizon. There were no mature trees in our area, so we did not have a problem getting a clear shot north for our Starlink. We logged into the Wifi and it was above average, but the CG was not full. The CG is near a small but nice industrial area near the police station and humane society. Go to Walla Walla’s main street area where there are far more wine tasting rooms than you can do in a day. Grab pizza from the Sweet Basil Pizzeria. This CG was a good choice to visit the area.

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.

Pulled in and noticed the sites were smaller and there were a lot of full time people there, regardless of that everyone was nice, respectful and the facilities are kept very well. I was very impressed with the personal bathroom/shower rooms. It was just a little get away for us wanting to relax and explore the Pendleton area and this was a terrific place with the easy access from the freeway. Staff were fantastic.

This location is definitely not for camping, this is a tight-nit micro community of drug abusers and transients. The police are often present here, there are grass fires each year from unattended cooking fires and the lot is not managed well.

There are other locations in Pendleton that are a fair sight better in all capacities- avoid this location unless you are looking for a place to lay low from a less than ideal lifestyle.

I spent a beautiful lazy weekend there with my bf and dogs 🐶.

Freeway noise aside, this is a great park with plenty of amenities. The park is very clean and the staff was helpful. We stayed in the new section with full hook-ups. Plenty of space in the new section between spots. Huge, clean hot shower/bathrooms scattered around. Laundry was coin-op, cheaper than the in-town laundromat, and very efficient. Large park with dog run on far side, with smaller park (no dog run) on new side. Our St. Bernard loved exploring this little area. Would definitely stay again and recommend!

Seems more like an rv park than a campground. Someone let there dog pee at our site as we were pulling up and it backs up to apartments. Never again.

This is a beautiful campground with lots of trees and spacious sites. Great view of the river with clean and well kept sites. There is a cool walking trail with various exercise equipment along the path. Dog 🐕 friendly and clean/hot showers.

Relatively new campground. They are in process of completing a playground and dog walk. They have a pool and hot tub. All laundry, bathroom and shower facilities require a code. Sites are average. Some come with grills and patio furniture. All come with picnic tables. Lush grass sites, very clean. Some highway noise but not that bad. Close to several towns and RV stores.

We stayed here in the off season, it’s first come first served parking, which ended up being really great for us. We got to park with a view of the river and away from other RVs. The spaces are large, there is a bathroom and showers on site. There is a nice walking path, and loads of grass and beach and places to walk your dog. We all had a very nice overnight experience.

This is a really nice spot. We initially scheduled for a two day stop but stayed for four. This park is very clean, extremely well maintained, quiet, and has lots of dog walking areas. The staff are the most courteous and kind people I’ve met in awhile. We parked our Class A in a pull thru and they even guided us in and assisted with hookups. Obviously, we know how to do all this but it shows how they manage to keep everything working beautifully. Convenient to Camping World, too.

McDougall is a small mountain community located in the blue mountains above Weston, Oregon. There is a small neighborhood consisting of permanent RVs, cabins and shanties. There are a number of mountain man type locals that call this area home.

Just past the village you get into the woodland where the Morels are plentiful. This is an ideal location to go mushrooming. The camping is unrestricted, just be respectful and careful. This is not RV camping, but tent and bag only.

Tall pines and firs shade the eastern Oregon forest floor provided a nice region to explore, continuing up the forest road you’ll reach a large meadow the rolls for miles downhill into the valley. The views here are breathtaking - this is an amazing location to bring your family.

You’ll see many types of wildlife here are hundreds of varieties of meadow wildflowers.

Spend a few days in the blues and shake off those blues.

$12 a night for water and electricity. Clean area with grass and playground. Some areas appear to be under construction or upgrade. Dumpster and restroom available. Showers closed because of covid-19. Sights are on paved roadway with firepits and picnic tables. Easy in and out for our 32' Class A. Hermiston Oregon is 6 miles away.
