"This is always such a great place to stop when traveling between Idaho and western Oregon. It has lots of shade, lawn, and hedges that offer privacy between the large camp sites."
"In general, Oregon State Parks are great. This is another nice one with plenty of tent and RV sites available. Bathrooms and showers on-site."
"Nice area close to the road. Plenty of room for my small trailer. Though it was close to the road it wasn’t very noisy. I camped in site 9 so 1/4 mile away from the road. Only issue last role of TP."
"great location. sites 1-6 are pretty close to the main road, but tidy little sites, a pit toilet. no running water."
"Good little tucked away site with spring water, fire pits and lots of empty space for my truck. Make sure to stop at the sign, we went about 2-3 extra miles looking before we came back lol"
"It’s a bit of an uphill drive off 15, but it’s a pretty good gravel road. There was a fair amount of litter from what looked like a hunting group when we arrived, but we took it with us."
$50 / night
"In the spring, I imagine you can fish the creek behind the cabin.
The Wildlife
If you hike a little off trail, there's plenty of wildlife to be seen."
"The area is beautiful but the creek is so very tiny and back behind the cabin. It has a vault toilet that was very clean but we may have been lucky since it is not cleaned between guests."
$15 / night
"After a full day, driving, we were having trouble finding a place to stay near John Day, Oregon. All of the very few campgrounds available we’re already full."
"Stream running next to the sites. Close to town. It is next to the fairgrounds, but very quit when no events. Good place to spend the night while traveling through"
"Off the beaten path, but we'll worth it! Dropped 20 degrees from the hot valley floor. Around 8 spots, first come, but a few other spots on the way up, for dispersed."
"Nice sites with lots of separation and easy access to a trailhead. Multiple vault toilets available as well as water taps that I don’t think are potable but good enough to rinse dishes."
$50 / night
"We ran across this nice little campground (CG) looking for a place to walk our pups. Idlewild is located an easy 30 minute drive north of Burns, OR. "
"This is a basic USFS campground north of Burns, Oregon off of 395. There are few campgrounds off this highway so we always camp here. The fee is $10."
"There are toilets but no water (there’s a creek so boil or treat the water there), close to the road, and a good basecamp for hiking or horseback riding in the area."
GuideAfter a full day, driving, we were having trouble finding a place to stay near John Day, Oregon. All of the very few campgrounds available we’re already full. Even this campground, which is part of the fairgrounds, appeared to be full and it had prior reservations on to remaining Spots. As we were about to leave, the host of the campground caught up with us and said that since we had a short motorhome(24 foot) that there was one spot remaining. The people we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. I think the host realized how tired we were and made a special effort to invite us to stay.
GuideIt’s only two free camp sites unless there’s more up the road I didn’t check. There was too mosquitoes for me, probably because there is a stream next to sites. It seemed clean and quiet though, the sound of stream was nice, and one vault toilet was there, no AT&T cell service. We saw a garter snake near the stream. Theres also a caution sign for ticks. I didn’t end up staying though because of the bugs. I ended up going to Big Bend Campground which was nice and by the river didn’t have trouble with bugs there. $5 though.
LegendBeautiful and serene USFS campground. Lots of trees, but somewhat enough clearing for some solar. Clean and maintained non-gendered pit toilets. No garbage service or any other kind of service. $15/night, self pay at the entrance with cash or check. 14 day stay limit. We were able to fit into the sites in our 26ft class c.
TravelerGreat place ! Full hookups and the hosts are great.
TravelerWe pulled out about 3 miles in. Great spot for the night. Woke up to wildflowers and birdsong. Had 3 bars on T-mobile .
GuideVery nice and well-kept State Park. Lots of green grass. All sites are back-in with level gravel pads. No hook-ups. uncrowded, only a few sites taken. Great place to stop with very interesting history. Will definitely stay here again.
ScoutEasy to find right off 395, this is a US forest service campground, no reservations, all first come basis. Large semi secluded sites in pine forest. Interpretive trail next to campground. Clean pit toilets with hand sanitizer. Abundant dry firewood on the ground. Five stars.
TravelerStayed at a sweet little spot amongst some trees at the first campsite we came up on (about 4 miles up a gravel road). No water sources around, but if you have supplies you’re set. Great spot for dogs too. Lots of wild flowers and plenty of area to explore
ScoutThis is an adorable affordable location with cute little cottages. I would highly recommend and we will be going back.
