This site was right next to Fort Walla Walla, with a park and dog park. Not much else here but weird animal statues and long-term RVers. Lots of hookups for RV and trailers. No tent or car camping. The bathrooms were still closed June 2021, need to use your own hookups.

Nice, clean RV park with full hookups and dry camping. Dry camping is next to the river, very pretty. Near hiking trail and tram ride to the top of mt Howard is across the street

We stayed at Grande Hot Springs RV Resort in June and September 2021. We really enjoyed our stay at this park. We stayed in site 2 which was a large pull-thru site for our fifth wheel. Sites are long, flat, and level with 50 amp, water and sewer hookups. We enjoyed the great walking paths around the perimeter of the park to walk our dogs. The pool and hot tub are heated geothermally and are warm, soothing, and oh, so relaxing. We can’t say enough about the professional staff, who were warm, friendly, and helpful. We even had some packages delivered here, which was a big bonus for us. We a lot of other friendly campers here. The WiFi is top-notch. This is our favorite Oregon campground and we highly recommend a stay here. For videos on the campground, visit YouTube: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.
GuideNice place, typical RV Resort, everyone side by side with very little shade. Autumn took my reservation and I specifically asked for a good place for wifi for a meeting. Autumn accommodated and put me in #51, close the office. Staff were friendly. Front office and laundry area very clean. Prices for items in the little store were reasonable. 50 amp electric if needed. Good wifi and cell service (Sprint), if sprint was good, everyone else probably is too. Did not go in the pool. They have an adults only time starting at 9P-11P which is nice. $55/night

This location is pretty nice with full hookups and a fair amount of space per site. I’m not sure what the policy’s are but during booking I was told there was only one side available and it was a full hook up RV site that was the most expensive rate. I didn’t need that being fully contained in my truck camper, but I though having electrical and water would be nice. When I arrived o found 95% of the campground empty and saw only 3 other campers over the course of the weekend all in spots right next to mine even thought nearly all spots were vacant.
ScoutExcellent 1/2 point between home in Idaho and the Oregon Coast. Tent and full hook ups with helpful campground hosts.
Yes, you can hear the freeway from the campground - so it may not be recommended for tent campers.
Legend
Great whether into the casino scene or not. We use it for an on-the-way stop over. There is a full RV/truck stop fueling station at this location with a C-store. Pull thru sites. Sites are narrow/small. Full hook ups. Very easy roads/maneuvering in and out. All paved. Very convenient to the freeway.
Traveler
This KOA has many of the amenities associated with KOA campgrounds, including a camp store, flush toilets, showers, and a "rec room." It does not have a pool. It does have full hook-ups and caters to RVs and campers. It sits at the edge of the cowboy culture town of Pendleton, famous for its enormous rodeo, the Round Up, which takes place the full second week of September annually. You will NOT find a campsite here - or lodging anywhere else in town- during Round Up, as approximately 10,000 visitors crowd the town and typically book a year or more in advance. Also, while this KOA is clean and pleasant, it is quite crowded and many of the RVs and campers parked here are home to local folks "living on the cheap." It can be noisy, and there is little green space to enjoy, but the campground is situated on a bluff with beautiful views of the nearby Blue Mountains. Restaurants and gas stations as well as a couple of hotels are within walking dustance, just a block or two away.

Guide
Fairly level site 95 fit our trailer & truck totaling 55”. People tend to not leash their dog which is a problem for my dog. Full hookups, check in is 3pm out is 11am. About 10 miles outside of Pendleton, OR (post office for mail and packages, Walmart Supercenter and Safeway. Arrowhead travel center for gas or munchies that has easy RV access. Free WiFi and 2 bars of Verizon LTE. Just off of Hwy 84. We did not enter the casino. Roosters restaurant in Pendleton provided safe distance dining in a clean environment.
GuideThis RV park is on the south side of Wallowa Lake nestled on the river that feeds the lake. They have 49 full hookup sites and they definitely pack them in there. We opted for a river site which is dry camping but much quieter and a bit more dispersed.
The area is a great little getaway with a myriad of activities to do. Besides the lake there is a (pretty expensive) tram that takes you up the mountain, go carts, miniature golf, discovery centers, museums, etc.
The park was clean and well maintained. Although it was great to have the river right out your front window we constantly had others encroaching on our site trying to get at the river. A simple sign to direct others to river access would have been appreciated.
Overall we really enjoyed the park and area.

This park accepts Good Sam discounts. There are a few full timers but are kept clean. The park is right on the edge of town. Nestled between a river and a horse farm he will hear a rooster everyday you will hear a donkey. There are wild turkey in the area but they're quite quiet. I paid just under $150 a week. Laundry machines work well there are two washers and two dryers buck and a quarter each. They have showers. They have a tent area for tent camping. There is usually no one on duty but they do have propane I just don't know how to use it or get it. There is a Wi-Fi password and the cell phone signal is not bad. I use T-Mobile. 5 minutes away from a decent grocery store. 30 minutes away from Miller's home improvement and Walmart. And did I mention full hookups.
Travelerthis campground was always my favorite growing up and it still is today! they have very spacious camp sites, lots of variety (ie tent sites and full hook up sites) that would fit anyone’s needs! There are very helpful hosts onsite campfire you can buy and a jr ranger program my kids love! They also have a playground for the kids in the heart of the park! Wallowa is well worth the trip!
Scouttalked with the owner who let us come in for a single night. Very accommodating. Worked with us to get us a spot. Basic campground, no toilets or showers. Yet electric and water hook-ups. Most the RV sites are pull-thru making it very easy to get in and out. Quiet park out more in nature than the large parking lot RV parks.

Hilgard Junction is a small, Riverside day use area, travel rest-stop and campground at the junction of I-84 and Highway 244 on the Grande Ronde river at the base of Mt. Emily.
This park is near La Grande, Oregon so if you are not just resting on your trip, you can run into a cute little university town to explore the Eastern Oregon local life.
Crystal clear water runs this high in the Grande Ronde, making for fun swimming and water play. Make sure to bring your gold pan to this shallow river bed, as it has been historically found all along this river. The RV park has no connections so bring your generator and solar panels with you. This is self contained type of camp, that provides two bathrooms and firewood.
It is an ADA friendly area with paved rv spots and designated well kept tent spots. Keep in mind this park is directly off of the interstate so there are a lot of random travelers coming and going at all hours of the day and night. One minor bit of awkwardness is that there is a youth correctional facility less than a mile up the road. So your traveling children maybe curious and ask odd questions if they see it.
LegendWe stayed in the Wildhorse Resort Casino RV Park & Tipi Village the day we purchased our trailer. The surroundings are sparse but what it lacks in scenery they make up for in amenities. There is a pool and a shuttle service to the casino. While we didn't go to the casino, we did spend a lot if time in the pool and envied those staying in the tipis. This is a great stop if you are traveling from Western Oregon to Eastern Oregon. The grounds and restrooms where clean and we enjoyed our stay!

Small rv park makes visiting Walla Walla wine country east and affordable. Clean and well kept. Sites are typical park size but are well designed paved and level. Nice landscaping. Park full but quiet. Walking distance to downtown wineries and restaurants. Located in industrial area but I suppose this is due to cheap land.
GuideA pleasant facility that is easy to drive and maneuver with a tow behind trailer. Sites were fairly level with lawn and a picnic table. Property is well maintained.
Sites 1-5 are across from the office and along the road out - so one needs to anticipate truck noise and idling early morning when people might be leaving. The RV park is well behind the casino complex - you need to drive past the truck stop and casino going north to reach the access road (it’s on the way to the golf course).
The casino and golf course are adjacent - but it’s a good hike; use the shuttle or just drive over. The casino facility have several restaurants and movie theaters. The City of Pendleton is about 10 minutes west should you need food or supplies.
LegendYour typical rv Park set up, convenient location between freeway and town. Veterans golf course right next door. Come ready to sweat—triple digit weather when we came through!
GuideSeems more like an rv park than a campground. Someone let there dog pee at our site as we were pulling up and it backs up to apartments. Never again.
LegendThis was our first stop in Oregon we were in Site C9 which is a pull thru with Full hook up. Big tall pines, the lake & mountains. We had a good site other than some neighbors with 10 kids kept walking through our site to get to theirs instead of walking around the circle. We finally said something after the 3rd day.
I love they have a grey water dump every 3 or 4 sites we have a fish cleaning table we set up it has a hook up for a hose to have direct water to it. We do dishes and prep food on it and we use a bucket under the sink in it to catch the water so walking over 2 sites to dump it is nice.
We launched the kayak & went out in the lake what a nice view of Mt. Howard. My husband caught some nice size Kokanee & trout. There are some floating docks you can climb out on & have lunch the park has 5 I believe.
We took the cable cars up to Mt. Howard & hiked it was beautiful. Still had a good amount of snow on the ground up there. We had a drink & lunch at the Summit Grill.
The small town of Joseph is close by, small grocery store had to go a little further to get to a safeway.
The first few nights were so quiet, a nice bonfire & a glass of wine.
Some of the sites are small in the loop we were in there were some bigger ones.
GuideWe checked in later in the evening and the self registration was a snap. The spaces are large and well lit. For a first-timer at an RV park, we had no trouble finding the spot and getting connected. Clean facilities. Our site at the end of the row has a lovely view to the west.
GuidePark at the River is in a beautiful location but it’s a full blown RV park, not a campground. The big rigs are really packed in. The dry camping spots by the river are great until the neighbors run a generator all day long. There are all kinds of amenities within walking distance: stores, restaurants, mini golf, etc.

First driving in to the Rendezvous RV park, you notice how kept up the grass and area is. No garbage and zero cigarette butts on the ground. The lots are very spacious as we have about 20ft left and are about 60ft with toad. 50amp/30amp hook up. As well as sewer and fresh great tasting water. Filled our water tank to half.
Very bad experience in the morning. The host came and asked us to leave as she had someone there for our spot. When I called the day before, she said to park anywhere you want and to pay tomorrow as she left early and wasn't going to be there. Make a long story short, we left at 8AM without being able to shower or have a coffee. AND THEN CHARGED US FULL PRICE OF $50 FOR A 10 HOUR STAY. NEVER AGAIN will we be coming here. Rather stay at the Flying J and boondock...
ScoutAlthough this park is near the highway, it makes for a great day visit or overnight camping. The river is very close and the Umatilla National Forest is a just a short drive up the river.

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. There are also several sites that look like full time RVer's that live in the park. The sites were a little close together, but they were able to move us after the first night so we had a little more privacy. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The campground was very quiet with great views of the mountains. There is a little store onsite that also has games and books to barrow.
GuideFull hookups. $75 a night. Laundry, bathrooms. They may, or may not, have water. Our Trailer is 35ft and they have such tight corners I Barely made it to my site. The sites are annoyingly un-level Make sure you have pads and a septic ramp. They put their tables right in the middle of your site so you have to move it before you get in. The sewer cap was busted (looked like they mowed over it) and the water hookup is right next to the open septic just soaking up all its vapors. I cleaned the valve as much as I could but it still haunts me... for $75 a night the amenities were non existent.
