"Easy back in and lovely grassy area. Full hook ups allowed us to "refresh"! I'd definitely stay here again when in the area."

"We camped next to the lovely lil creek. Bathrooms & showers were Fabulous! Dayville is a very cute little town, with cute lil shops! Great location to stay to explore the area!"
TravelerWe have camped here many times over the years. Last year they were closed for renovation. Love the heated bathrooms, especially in the off season. Nice trails along the river. Fall color is excellent. Just a few miles from town, groceries, restaurants. Services.
TravelerA variety of site sizes/deapthes that all seemed to be easy to get into. Road noise near the highway could be annoying for light sleepers. Nice hiking path to a wayside to the west along the river.
GuideWe stayed here in early October, hoping the mosquitos would be gone so late in the year, but they were still out in force.
The potable water to the campground has been shut off since August 2026, with no time frame given as to when it will be turned back on.
The vault toilets are... "vintage," with the lock to the door on one of the two outhouses not working. However, the camp host is at least diligent in keeping the outhouses clean.
There are only about a dozen campsites, but there were only two other parties camping at Chukar Park the night we were there, so finding a good site was still easy. Some of the sites are situated along a bank of the north fork of the Malheur River, and the setting with the river and mature cottonwoods is exceptional - or would be without the mosquitos. We spent most of our time inside our van.
The price is certainly right: $5 / night, or $2.50 / night if you have a Natl. Parks and Federal Lands Pass. Only cash is accepted, and the sites are all first-come first-serve.
ScoutIt's 5 miles off highway 20 up a washboard gravel road. The campsites are nicely spaced with trees between most sites. It's primitive with no hook ups and pit toilets. I was there in early Oct and the water spickets were still working. The price of $5 was perfect (1/2 price for America the Beautiful pass holders). Can't beat that! No cell service.
TravelerSite #27 great view of lake. Cost $8 with senior pass. Hiked around lake great trail with awesome views. Saw 8 otters playing and swimming in lake and a couple of grouse on the trail. Only negative is gravel road in, just go slow.
TravelerThis is a decent affordable campground with two pit toilets and only costs $8 per night. No fresh water.
There are larches/tamaracks here but unfortunately they hadn’t changed to their fall colors yet when I was there.
TravelerUnfortunately, the water here smelled like death. The camp host was super nice and pleasant and came to warn me before I filled my fresh water tank. She even offered me free firewood because of the bad water. She said that someone is testing it daily and it somehow passes. I had rinsed my hands in preparation to fill, and I could not get the smell off for hours, so I don’t know how it passed! In light of the water situation, I decided to stay at a cheaper dry camp further down the highway.
GuideSeveral spots are very secluded and quite nice. Little water and no garbage but a great place to camp.
ScoutAdequate overnight spot. Behind store. Some noise from Hwy 20. $30 a night for electric. Bathrooms in store when it’s open. Decent AT&T signal. Gas at store.

Site configurations vary: Bosch's Big Bear RV Park features 10 full hookup sites designed as pull-throughs, but with important limitations. MickandKarla W. advises, "if you're longer than about 35' it is best to just line up on your site in the huge parking lot and back-in. The lane for pulling through is a little tight."
