Trails around Unity Lake and nearby campgrounds provide ample walking opportunities for dogs and their owners.

Wetmore Campground offers a paved wheelchair-accessible trail suitable for easy dog walking, while Blue Mountain Sno Park provides free dispersed camping in a large flat area that accommodates any size RV with pets. The remoteness of these campgrounds means limited cell service in most areas, so downloading maps in advance is recommended.

    A-Frame RV Park

    Friendly Front Desk Staff

    Paid $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.

    Farewell Bend State Recreation Area Campground

    Mosquito river

    Well-kept state park. No playground for kids. Dog park. Very quiet. Right on the highway but it’s not loud at all. Very many mosquitos, like swarms of them. Site was very flat and easy to park our 23’ camper. Small trails good enough for a stroll but not long enough for a hike.

    Mtn View RV Park

    Easy

    Easy access off of I-84, mostly pull through full hookup sites, nicely landscaped with beautiful views! It has a small fenced-in dog park, pool and spa.

    A-Frame RV Park

    Ginormous dog park

    We 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.

    Chukar Park Campground

    Hidden, peaceful, clean

    Access road is well maintained gravel. Campground was uncrowded on a July Saturday night. Lots of water and pit toilets. Access to the river but it's fast moving so I'd worry about kids and pets. Mosquitos showed up en masse at dusk. Lots of shade. Definitely worth $5.

    Mtn View RV Park

    Well maintained, clean, family owned park

    It's amazing how little things can create a good impression. The front desk lady was so friendly and helpful. The park was clean and well maintained. They had a cute little pet area with a fire hydrant in there. We specifically sought this place out because of the hot tub. It's so nice to soak after a long drive day. Most sites are pull through. Spots are small but they have a nice grass area. Seems that most people stay one night as they are passing through. Bathrooms were nice and very clean. Cute little store in the office. They also had a nice pool (which is currently closed). They offered a 10% Good Sam's discount. We would stay here again.

    Unity Lake State Recreation Site Campground

    Hidden Gem

    We stopped at Unity Lake SPCG after pulling off I84 onto 26W, OR. The drive is spectacular and beautiful, the SP serene! CG was very clean, not crowded and mostly empty. Has paved sites, room between neighbors, elec hookup and water for our RV, and there’s a dump station, A full cell signal too. As close to being off the grid as one can be, (without actually being off). Will be back! Be sure to gas up beforehand, no services on this scenic drive.
