Hilltop Hideaway is a 1930's era cabin that allows guests to relax in the outdoors and step back in time to the bygone gold mining days. Hilltop Hideaway is part of the Fremont Powerhouse complex, a hub for mining built in the early 1900s. It is one of four cabins located at the site near the town of Granite, and provides great flexibility for larger groups. The surrounding valleys once teemed with mining activity, primarily gold. The Fremont Powerhouse was built as an economical power source for mining. Two dams were constructed at Olive Lake and the water was piped through an 8-mile wood and steel pipeline to the powerhouse to generate electricity. Homes were constructed to shelter workers who monitored the pipeline. Today, these same homes are available for the public to enjoy. Hilltop Hideaway is the cabin farthest uphill from the Fremont Powerhouse. Winter access may require skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles. Click here for a virtual tour of the area.
Guests can hike on trails into the North Fork John Day Wilderness or go mountain biking on forest roads. A drive along the Blue Mountain Scenic Byway is a treat, as are other activities like huckleberry and mushroom picking, bird watching, wildlife viewing and photographing the vast landscape. Nearby Olive Lake offers boating, fishing and swimming.
The cabin sits at an elevation of about 5,000 feet, on a hillside overlooking the expansive Umatilla National Forest near the North Fork John Day Wilderness. A grassy lawn in front leads to the other three cabins in the area. The forest lies in the Blue Mountains and is home to Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir. Birds in the area include the black-backed woodpecker, American kestrel and the Boreal owl. Black bear, cougar, wolves, elk and deer are among the native land mammals.

Antlers Guard Station was built in 1935 for the fire crews who patrolled Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The Forest Roads were not yet well developed, and it was impractical for crews to travel daily between the remote parts of the forest and the ranger station. The Civilian Conservation Corps built this structure to allow crews to stay where they worked. Antlers Guard Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Guests who stay at Antlers Guard Station can still get away from it all while enjoying the basic comforts of home. The cabin is accessible by car.
This cabin is popular with rock hounds, botanists, hikers, mountain bikers, hunters, and ATV riders. Anglers can fish for trout in the North Fork Burnt River.
Antlers Guard Station sits at an elevation of 4,107 feet on the west bank of the scenic North Fork of the Burnt River. The surrounding forest is ponderosa pine. Rattlesnakes, mountain lions and black bears inhabit this area (information on bear safety).

Peavy Cabin was built in 1934 by Dr. George Wilcox Peavy, Dean of the School of Forestry at Oregon Agricultural College (later Oregon State University).

Was a small but clean and tidy park with lots of shade trees around. I arrived there after hours but had made a reservation over the phone prior. Park staff were nice enough to have a park map ready for me when I arrived directing me to my site in the back corner of the park. They actually had a really cool sign at my camp spot made up for me. The spot itself was a bit small, but clean and under a nice shade tree. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The only minor gripe I would have is they are a bit small and cramped, but for one night it worked just fine. Would definitely camp here again if I'm the area.
GuideBig trees, lots of shade, full hook ups. Pic-Nic tables at each spot. Very friendly staff. Easy check in. Good price. Some road noise but not loud enough to be problematic. We have a 36ft travel trailer with slides on both sides. Was able to fit into the pull through no problem with truck parked in front (stayed hooked up so we can leave the following day)
Scout
Had a great time here. There are small things I'd change that would make it a 5 star park, but they are small.
The pools that are fed by the springs are great, especially after a long day on the road.
The staff was great and helpful, and a full-time RV family shared their wisdom with this first-time RV-er.
Hookups are well labeled, and RV sites are all 90-foot pull through, which, again, for this first time RV-er was clutch!
The views are great, the nature walk is nice, and the weather was a nice 70ish!
Cons, for me, are that there is no off leash dog area, this is due to the abundant wildlife, but i just wish there was somewhere to let them run and stretch their legs. Additionally, there is no area for the kids to play, there is a horseshoe area, but otherwisr, no play equipment. But otherwise, a great stop, and really, a better stop for a more mature crowd.
Lastly, no wood fires at the camp sites (at least on the rv side) so bring a propane pit for marshmallows!
Guide
We stayed one night as a stopover on a walkabout. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Clean restrooms and showers. 2/3 of the sites have a view of the lake. The wind often comes up in the afternoon and is there until after sunset, but the fishing looked great. Another camper offered us freshly caught trout as they had too much for their group. Lots of grass.
GuideVisiting in April on a Sunday to do day use has defined my idea of heavenly. The snow-covered peaks, the clean air, the sounds of the spring birds, and the silence are magical. The hot tubs are small, but it really doesn't matter if no one is there. They are pool noodle friendly when it's not high occupancy. The Verizon signal is strong. Day use is open until 5:00 p.m. and next door there's a lodge that has even more hot springs that I'm going to have to visit sometime. The setting is pretty incredible with views all around of lovely Eastern Oregon mountains and valley. Spring green is abundant and it is an enchanting time. Very cute tent campsites, as well as a variety of lodging. This place is wonderful.
ScoutCame in late and the host came out to help. Nice clean bathrooms, reasonable price (and don’t mind car charging), a little loud from the highway.
Traveler
Great camp site. Electric and water hook ups, great camp hosts, close to the water.
TravelerWe stayed here just overnight. We used the showers and laundry --both were very clean. Courteous, helpful staff. It looked like about half of the tenants are permanent.
The dog park on the back forty was seriously about 40 acres.
GuideHosts were very friendly and the location was peaceful. Sunsets were beautiful but we stayed during a very hot week and the lack of shade made it very difficult to stay cool.
Trees were very small and didn’t provide much shade. In about 5 years it may be a better place to camp.
Lake water was extremely filthy. Kids swam and had a good time in the cool water but the water was gross.
TravelerOur truck blew a water pump and blew a head gasket. Was able to get trailer towed to campground. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is great. Amenities are clean and really good.
GuideWe’ve been here a couple of times with trailers and about 10 other families. Their groups sites are next to each other and allow big groups to stay together.
Scout
Beautiful campsite, nice walk around the lake. It was mostly empty with some snow patches still on the ground.
TravelerThis is our 2nd stay. Would give five stars but this time there were so many mosquitoes we couldn’t go outside the rv. They really need to spray more.
TravelerT Mobile reception good download speed 53Mbs. Wifi would periodically drop out, otherwise was able to stream. Nice shady park. Site 27 the 30amp outlet was troublesome. It does not hold plug well. The threads on the water supply was too shallow for me be able to attach my water pressure regulator so screen would bottom out. Can hear interstate but did not bother sleep.
ScoutStayed in one of their yurts. Super clean and quiet. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Private soaking tubes were fantastic.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're so happy to welcome your host, Mark, to The Dyrt. Camp in the Blue Mountain Range. This space provides a locked gate to give you privacy and peace of mind! Minimal light pollution will provide you gorgeous starry skies. Check them out and come back here to leave them some love!
LegendFor us this was an overnight to have water and dump capability after nights without. It was a very pretty campground in the trees. The water level was VERY low in Sept 2020. We were able to get in some good walking. Clean campground, nice hosts, lovely area, except for the lake. We'd stay again if in the area.
Guide
We loved this hidden gem of a campground. We’ll definitely be back. Even with a weboost, cellular was poor. However, with the WeBoost, we could text and call. We don’t have a starlink system, but we did see others using it. Good view of the sky for it.
ScoutThis place is beautiful! Mountain views in the distance, quiet safe camp sites, great amenities (washer, dryer, sink to wash dishes, clean new bathrooms and showers and soaking pool). We tent camped with our two young kids. Would definitely be back!!
GuideWe did not have a reservation for an overnight stop. We lucked out. They had a spot for our 30ft TT. The site was level enough we didn't even have to unhook. Great hosts. My electric cord was too short to go plug in. He loaned me two adapters and a 50amp cord to make it reach. No charge. The bathhouse is in an A frame building so when you look in the mirror to shave you see your feet. Other than that a great stop. They don't do Good Sam discounts.
GuideThis is a big Park with lots of spaces between the sites. The sites themselves are very long. They could hold very big rigs and their tow vehicles. The staff was very helpful and friendly. There are two pools, one at 100° and one at 90 °. If you get off at exit 265, there is a good paved Road. If you get off at exit 268, there are three miles of gravel road.
RangerOnce Union Creek was ran by a family and had a great restaurant called Beckie’s, Union creek resort, cabins, sledding area… but now has been bought out by bigger businesses and it’s changed. It’s a good campground in one of the prettiest forests around Oregon in my opinion but it doesn’t feel the way it once did.
ScoutI was here April ‘22 and the facilities are immaculate! Shelly does a great job! The owners are wonderful and very smart! The grounds are very well kept. I wish I could be there in the summer. The winds of the valley are ferocious any other time of the year. It rocked my trailer like a stagecoach! The area was beautiful and fun to explore.
ScoutSites are not close together, facilities were clean and camp hosts super nice!
ScoutExcellent service, nice and quiet surroundings. From time to time a train but other than that nothing else.
TravelerPretty place to camp. Tent sites were relatively close together, but all along a small river that you can fish. Great stop.
TravelerThey have an amazing brand new reception, very nice people. These are the cleanest restrooms I’ve ever seen, and we camp a lot! Wifi is okay. Only giving 4 stars because they could add some kids recreation. Other than that, 10/10. Pets cannot be off leash. The pool is mor of a big hot tub, not for actual swimming
