"Oregon always has beautiful state parks. This one is no different. It is close to Hwy 84, so there is road noise. The campsites don't seem to be as on top of each other as some places."
"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."
"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."
"Breakfast at the course is awesome, within walking distance and great bang for the buck. Did not visit casino, but shuttle is readily available."
$20 - $80 / night
"Easy and simple access to all hookups. Mostly quiet (except for simi trucks parking for the night on the road near park running their equipment all night.) Staff was professional and kind."
"About 10 miles outside of Pendleton, OR (post office for mail and packages, Walmart Supercenter and Safeway. Arrowhead travel center for gas or munchies that has easy RV access."
"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”."
"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."
"Light sleepers would have a hard time here due to highway noise but overall good rest stop. My dog wouldn’t stop trying to eat all the horse poop around the camp site."
"Primitive dispersed campsites with rock fire rings right off the highway. Down side is it's a little too noisy for my taste."
"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."
"This is a typical roadside campground. It not only is a campground but a bathroom rest stop on Hwy 395, so there is a small amount of drive through traffic to the restrooms."
$10 / night
"There is a trail if you head North that winds up and puts you on the Oregon trail, I biked it on my ebike, it is pretty strenuous and bumpy."
"Hilgard Junction is a small, Riverside day use area, travel rest-stop and campground at the junction of I-84 and Highway 244 on the Grande Ronde river at the base of Mt. Emily."
"We enjoyed the great walking paths around the perimeter of the park to walk our dogs. The pool and hot tub are heated geothermally and are warm, soothing, and oh, so relaxing."
"The tent and yurt sites are beautifully situated next to a stream full of cattails and lily pads. Wild deer roam nearby and horses graze in the fields around the park. Not far from town either."
ScoutLight sleepers would have a hard time here due to highway noise but overall good rest stop. My dog wouldn’t stop trying to eat all the horse poop around the camp site. Good level ground and easy to get back on the road in the morning. Would recommend.
GuideClose to the road but cute interpretive trail accross the street. Pit toilets but no water or electric or hookups
TravelerCamped atop the ridge, off the first road on the west side. Interstate traffic dominates the soundscape, but the scenery is expansive.
There’s several sites along the road, some with DIY fire pits. Given the off-road ruts, this isn’t a prime wet ground camp area.
ScoutThe location is right next to the reservoir. Rhe site we got was nicely graveled and a pull through.
GuideA handful of great places to camp for the night- very clean and well taken care of so please leave no trace. Just a spot and a table, no water, restrooms ect.
GuideThis is a nice, shady campground. It is well-kept and on par with many other state park campgrounds I’ve been to. The proximity to Lake Erie is nice. It’s also close to Geneva On The Lake, a kitschy lake resort town that has been around for over 100 years.
TravelerThis is easily accessible from the hwy. Easy to pull into with a trailer. There are several spots by the water (camas creek). We had everything one would need. There are water spouts nearby, the perfect trees for hammock, shade trees, and bathrooms. The onsite staff was super friendly and informative. There were crawdads, fish and even a beaver damn nearby. It was not crowded and the staff said it never gets that full so we easily got a dove without having to worry about reservations
TravelerThis campsite is easily accessible from the hwy but while I visited the space, the weeds were unkept and the water was almost nonexistent. It was full of algae and weeds and there wasn’t much to do. Not much of a view of anything either. It was unclear if it accommodated campers.
TravelerThis is our second time at Wild horse. There are a ton of pull through sites. It's not far off the highway which makes it great for a quick stop. Bathrooms and showers are clean, staff is friendly and helpful. The pool is nice. There's not a lot of privacy. Most folks are here for the casino so there's also not a lot of people out. Dog friendly, kid friendly.
