GuideVery nice RV park. very clean and well maintained. Roads and all sites are gravel. Lots of green grass areas and dog areas. All sites are pull through and can accommodate large RV's. Would definitely stay here again.

TravelerI really like this location. I wanted to pa down by the water, but we are pulling a small camper and the road looked way too rough to go all the way down. There was a car down there, so definitely passable, but not with our camper. The sites earlier on the road are nice though. Pretty big, with fire rings. Only complaint is the noise from the road. Not terrible, but definitely audible from where we were at with our windows open.
GuideWe've never camped here, mainly because we live nearby. Yes, it is windy here, great for windsurfers.
The directions offered are a little off. From North Powder Hwy 237, you will turn right on Government Gulch Road. When you get to the RR crossing, turn right, cross the tracks onto Telocaset Lane.
You can get there from the other side too. Stop at Pondosa Store for a little local history and some snacks. From Hwy 203 near Medical Springs, you go West on Telocaset Lane to Thief Valley Reservoir.
TravelerPretty mountain valley campground with many full hookup pull through sites. Friendly staff at check-in as well, taking time to help me 3 minutes before closing for the evening. The two hot spring fed soaking pools were open for “twilight soak” until 11 PM which was a great touch after a long day on the road.
The only issue I had was that the sewer cap at my site was so tight that I couldn’t remove it by hand, but that didn’t seem to be the case at any of the other sites.
TravelerOur stay here was relaxing and fun. There are natural hot spring soaking pools at the campground. One pool is warm and the other is hot. I was grateful for the health benefits of the mineral soak. The resort is well taken care. It’s new and clean. The historic lodge at Hot lake is only one mile down the road. There are many birds. The resort lies next to a wildlife refuge.
ScoutThe spots are pretty level for being gravel. The sites are clean, and the people were friendly
GuidePaid $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.
