GuideIf you approach the campsite from the East, be prepared for a bumpy road. The road from the West (LaGrande) is much better even if it takes you a few miles out of the way. The park is clean and flat. The soaking spas are wonderful. The week of Father’s Day is a busy time.
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.
TravelerOnly myself and another campsite occupied during the weekend I was there. My site was a single (#4) and had nice river access. Bring your own water and take your trash with you. Toilets were clean, stocked with tp, and smelled of vanilla! :)
ScoutSurrounded by fir and pine, pleasant breeze, and cool, shaded sites. Picnic tables, fire rings, and 1 pit toilet (clean). $10/night.
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.
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.
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.
