RV camping options near Summerville, Oregon span from full-service resorts to basic hookup sites across northeastern Oregon. Located at approximately 3,000 feet elevation in Union County, the area experiences warm summer days and cool nights, with occasional thunderstorms common during summer months. Winter camping options remain limited with several campgrounds closing seasonally due to snowfall.
What to Do
Hot springs soaking: 14 miles from Summerville at Grande Hot Springs RV Resort where natural mineral pools provide relaxation. "The soaking pools were amazing. They even had a twilight soak. Very peaceful and relaxing campground. Nature trail along the creek was cool. Saw huge bull frogs, tadpoles, and fish. Also saw mule deer," reports Cheryl S.
Wildlife viewing: Multiple opportunities around camping areas in the region. "The resort lies next to a wildlife refuge. There are many birds," notes ursala K. from Grande Hot Springs RV Resort. Bird watching is particularly good during spring and fall migration periods.
Golfing: Convenient access near RV Resort Four Seasons in Walla Walla. "This site was right next to Fort Walla Walla, with a park and dog park," shares Jaime B. The Veterans Golf Course sits adjacent to the resort, providing an accessible recreation option.
What Campers Like
Mountain views: Snow-capped peaks visible from several campgrounds during spring and early summer. "Very quiet wide open campground surrounded by snowy peaks. Full hookups at all sites, mostly 30 amp service but many sites have 50 amp also. Great value for the money in a beautiful setting," writes David M. about Grande Hot Springs.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained shower buildings at Mountain View RV Park in Baker City. "Bathrooms were nice and very clean. Cute little store in the office. They also had a nice pool. They offered a 10% Good Sam's discount," mentions Stacey C. Many reviewers note the cleanliness standards across regional RV parks.
Large dog exercise areas: Spacious options for pet owners traveling with dogs. "The dog park on the back forty was seriously about 40 acres," John M. notes about A-Frame RV Park. Most campgrounds in the area welcome pets but require them to remain leashed within the main camping areas.
What You Should Know
Site spacing variations: From spacious to compact depending on the campground. "The spaces are large and well lit. The sites are close to one another but you still have a grass yard with some separation," reports MickandKarla W. about Mountain View RV Park in Baker City.
Seasonal operation: Limited winter availability at higher elevations. "We stayed here one night, just passing through. Made reservation online, but wasn't assigned a site. When we arrived, the office was closed and there were no instructions on how to check in. We had to call the hotel front desk," Mike shares about his experience at Wildhorse Resort Casino RV Park.
Water pressure considerations: Higher than normal at some facilities. "Great water pressure(about 100 psi) so we needed our regulator," warns MickandKarla W. about Mountain View RV Park. Bringing a pressure regulator is recommended when visiting RV sites near Summerville, Oregon.
Tips for Camping with Families
Pool availability: Summer swimming options for children at several campgrounds. "They have a nice little store with sundry and gift items. Across the street from the office/store is a nice laundry facility," adds MickandKarla W. about the family amenities at Mountain View RV Park.
Alternative accommodations: Beyond standard RV sites at Log House RV Park and Campground near Joseph. "This is a nice little RV park that is close to most things in the Joseph area. There are several RV sites as well as tent sites. The bathrooms and showers were clean," reports Ashley B.
Entertainment options: Activities beyond camping particularly at casino-adjacent properties. "As a traveling family we enjoyed this park. Easy and simple access to all hookups. Casino is nice," writes Moria R. about Wildhorse Resort Casino RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Pull-through accessibility: Easy navigation for larger rigs at many area campgrounds. "Big sites. Very nice staff and easy in and out," Kathy F. notes about La Grande Rendezvous RV Park, which offers 98 sites with both back-in and pull-through options.
Site leveling requirements: Variable pad conditions across the region's RV parks. "The pad was plenty long enough for our 40' 5th wheel and our F450. The utilities were in the middle of the pad, which made it nice for our one-night stay," shares MickandKarla W. about Mountain View RV Park.
Connectivity considerations: Variable internet access depending on location and provider. "We could not get the CG Wifi to connect, but we did have 2 bars on Verizon. The CG has cable but we did not use it as we were able to stream on our Verizon MiFi," explains MickandKarla W. regarding connectivity at Mountain View RV Park.
