    A-Frame RV Park

    Friendly Front Desk Staff

    Paid $44 for a night with full hookups. We appreciated the friendly staff. Dog Friendly with a 14 acres off-leash dog park! Washrooms were small but very clean. Even though it is 1 minute off the highway it was fairly quiet.

    Farewell Bend State Recreation Area Campground

    Mosquito river

    Well-kept state park. No playground for kids. Dog park. Very quiet. Right on the highway but it’s not loud at all. Very many mosquitos, like swarms of them. Site was very flat and easy to park our 23’ camper. Small trails good enough for a stroll but not long enough for a hike.

    Mtn View RV Park

    Easy

    Easy access off of I-84, mostly pull through full hookup sites, nicely landscaped with beautiful views! It has a small fenced-in dog park, pool and spa.

    A-Frame RV Park

    Ginormous dog park

    We stayed here just overnight. We used the showers and laundry --both were very clean. Courteous, helpful staff. It looked like about half of the tenants are permanent.

    The dog park on the back forty was seriously about 40 acres.

    Frontier Motel and RV Park

    Right in Town, Easy Access to Hells Canyon and Other Destinations

    Frontier Motel and RV Park is more of a motel than an RV park, with only ten spaces behind the motel and in between a public, local road. The motel was fronting Hwy 95 and the RV spaces were one block behind. They have a pool (nice!), laundry and easy town access, since the motel was right in town. The pool wasn’t warm, maybe 75F, but it sufficed for the cool-off need. The town, Cambridge, ID, was a nice, small town, maybe 200 residents. It appears that most of the 10-or-so RV spaces were used by monthly renters, but they had a spot for me and during a holiday weekend. Nice staff. For some reason I couldn't make friends with the black lab (the owner's dog). She's old, doesn't walk that well, but was wary of new people. I did not have any, any negative interactions with her, she just wouldn't let me give her a pet. The three-star rating is that the site location, noise from the highway and the street, and the marginal sewer connection (water/power were fine).

    Lost Valley Reservoir Dispersed Camping Area

    Lots of trees

    There is a lot of space in each camp. Not much land in between each camp so be courteous. Good drinking water. A fairly dirty pit bathroom. I’m pretty sure it’s pet friendly. You can walk to the reservoir. The beach is very rocky.

    Mtn View RV Park

    Well maintained, clean, family owned park

    It's amazing how little things can create a good impression. The front desk lady was so friendly and helpful. The park was clean and well maintained. They had a cute little pet area with a fire hydrant in there. We specifically sought this place out because of the hot tub. It's so nice to soak after a long drive day. Most sites are pull through. Spots are small but they have a nice grass area. Seems that most people stay one night as they are passing through. Bathrooms were nice and very clean. Cute little store in the office. They also had a nice pool (which is currently closed). They offered a 10% Good Sam's discount. We would stay here again.

    Farewell Bend State Recreation Area Campground

    Riverside desert experience

    Farewell bend is a day use state park and campground located near Huntington Oregon and nestled on the Snake River.

    The park is a dry desert setting with yellowing grasses, tall spiny trees and sand dunes. The snake river is a deep emerald green flowing with foam from the upriver reservoir.

    The campground has three large loops that can accommodate the largest of personal busses down to the classic sleeping bag. There are electric and water connections, a sewer dump and a boat launch. There are a couple of rentable waterfront cabins available on C-loop.

    Many fisherman come here to enjoy the well stocked waters, keep an eye out for the other river wildlife commonly seen, rattle snakes. Other water sports are welcome here, boating and waterskiing happens all day long. The dunes across the river are a popular off-road and motorized fun location.

    The river is pretty much inaccessible from the campgrounds, the day use area allows for access to the rocky beach, but the waters edge is not clean sadly, polluted with litter and river foam.

    The park is a very warm and sunny Oregon escape with little to no cellular service.


Guide to Richland

Camping near Richland, Oregon offers access to the Snake River, Hells Canyon, and surrounding forested mountains. The area sits at elevations ranging from 2,000 to 7,000 feet with summer temperatures often exceeding 90°F along the river while mountain campgrounds stay cooler. Most campgrounds open from late spring through fall with limited winter access due to snow at higher elevations.

What to Do

Water recreation at Snake River: The Snake River Campground provides direct access to swimming and fishing. "A few miles from Huntington Oregon, but there are 12 miles of unpaved road to reach the camp. You drive the whole way along the Snake River and arrive at a beautifully kept area with many level spots...fresh eggs for sale and wonderful hosts," according to Steve M.

Fishing opportunities: Woodhead Park in Hells Canyon Recreation Area caters specifically to anglers. "If you fish and have a boat this is it!! Nice big spots, great facilities but the terrain is super steep, not much in the way of 'beaches' and ability to enjoy the water without a boat," notes Mike M.

High-elevation hiking: Fish Lake Campground sits at nearly 7,000 feet with trails connecting to the surrounding wilderness. "Beautiful lake and views! Fish Lake Campground is up above Halfway, OR. It is a pine forested high elevation (6,990ft) Campground on NFD Rd. 66," reports Jim F.

What Campers Like

Easy river access: Hells Canyon Recreation Area Copperfield Campground provides direct water access. "We love this place... this is our go-to campground and one of our favorites. Kids can go swimming and fishing or just hung out by the water!" shares G K.

Tranquil forest settings: McBride Campground near Halfway offers a quieter alternative to busier lakeside campgrounds. "Older campground with several forested spots along a muddy creek. Nice dog walking and biking forest roads directly off campground. Pit toilets, non potable water source, fire pits," writes Cheryl M.

Clean facilities: Hells Canyon Recreation Area - Woodhead Campground maintains well-kept restrooms and fish cleaning stations. "Beautiful large campground with full hookups. They also have a fish cleaning station and very clean bathrooms. Nice trails for hikes/walks," says Katie M.

What You Should Know

Heat considerations: Summer temperatures can reach extreme levels in canyon areas. A camper at Copperfield Campground advises, "I would not recommend going during summer as the heat is unbearable unless you have a camper with an A.C., and even then, the cooler has an issue with keeping up with the heat."

Mosquitoes can be problematic: Farewell Bend State Recreation Area campers report seasonal insect issues. "Well-kept state park. No playground for kids. Dog park. Very quiet. Right on the highway but it's not loud at all. Very many mosquitos, like swarms of them," warns Beth L.

Access road challenges: Many pet friendly campgrounds near Richland, Oregon require travel on unpaved roads. "This campground is approximately 18 miles down a series of dirt roads in the Payette national forest. Road condition was fairly good," reports Mike E. about Spring Creek Campground.

Tips for Camping with Families

Dog-friendly areas with space to roam: Farewell Bend State Recreation Area Campground includes dedicated pet areas. "Though not free like the dispersed camping the dog and I were doing the days before this, it was a treat to have warm showers, bathrooms, a fenced dog exercise area, the security of other campers," shares Emma K.

Kid-friendly lake access: Lookouts for smaller children around steep shorelines. "The park is large and the sites are well spaced. You can walk down the long grass to the river and down steps to the water. Or just sit around camp and squirrel watch!" notes Dani K. about Farewell Bend.

Plan for hot weather activities: Bring cooling equipment for summer camping with pets and children. "If you choose to camp during the summer, I would recommend a fan, and a mister is a must!" advises a GoldDust D.

Tips from RVers

Site spacing considerations: Larger RVs need to research site dimensions. "We did not camp but visited the place to check it out for our next camping," notes G K. about Woodhead Campground, highlighting the importance of scouting locations.

Hookup availability varies: Wallowa Lake State Park Campground offers full hookups but has limitations. "Easy back in to our fairly level site. Unfortunately they had water hookups shut off for winter (after we made our reservation, but before we arrived). So we had to venture back out to the design acted water fill campsite our first morning," shares Amancay B.

Dump station capacity: Monitor dump station usage during peak seasons. "They ask that you don't offload a full black/grey tank at your site, as the septic system can't handle it... in my experience, the dump site may not be able to handle it either," warns a Wallowa Lake camper.
