"Located in the far northeast corner of Oregon, this state park has something for everyone. Wallowa Lake is known for it's natural beauty, fishing, and water sports."
"This 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 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."
"The tent and yurt sites are beautifully situated next to a stream full of cattails and lily pads. Wild deer roam nearby and horses graze in the fields around the park. Not far from town either."
$10 / night
"We stayed at campsite 5, which seems like an odd choice since it's right next to the welcome signage and fee drop box, but we really liked it because we were able to spread out along the side of the creek"
"This site is close to the main road so must watch kiddos and dogs at all times. It is also close to the river, so watch those kiddos. There's a wonderful trail with a wooden bridge to start off."
"It would make a good base camp for visiting Echo and Traverse Lakes. Camps are spaced around one paved loop up the hill in the trees above the meadow. "
"Just drive down the road and explore the many turnoffs to find one that suits your needs. Don’t forget to leave time for a day hike up to Echo Lake!"
"Lovely location in the mountains of Oregon. We drove a few thousand feet up a gravel road to get to this campsite. Easy access for my little sedan."
"This campground is pretty high up, it's quite a drive to get there, however every bump and curve of the road is worth it. There are fire pits, a bathroom and lots of sites."
$100 / night
"It’s near the end of 18 miles of unpaved mountain road and some of the most spectacular mountain scenery along the way."
"tons of beautiful campsites right next to a LOUD rushing creek. plenty of clean bathrooms as well. it seemed to me that this area does get a lot of rain, so just a heads up for that. came in a little Prius"
"Some of the sites are small and close to the road. Sites 12 and 13 at the end of the road have a lot of trees and good tent areas. Nice large picnic tables and fire pits."
$34 - $65 / night
"Park 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."
"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"
LegendA few miles from Huntington Oregon, but there are 12 miles of unpaved road to reach the camp. You drive the whole way along the Snake River and arrive at a beautifully kept area with many level spots, great cell phone reception, free firewood collection on the beach, fresh eggs for sale and wonderful hosts. I will be back as waking up to the mountains and sunrise and the river is exactly why I'm out here!
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.
TravelerWell kept and nice rangers. Accommodating and quiet, lots of wild life. This is bear country so it thats not your thing, i wouldnt camp there. Lots of things to do close by both inexpensive and more expensive.
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.
GuideI got here on a Sunday in April and the campground was completely empty. There are 8 spots total, most which are right on the river. They are spread out with lots of trees so you can't see the other sites at all. The sounds of the river have me in a meditative state all the time. Just so peaceful and pretty.
The campground is divided into 2 sets of 4 with one set of spots further up the road in a different unmarked entrance. I guess they used to be connected but a flood made them two separate divided areas. Directions are easy. Waze took me right here with just the campground name.
No cell service at all with TMobile. But most sites have good sky for satellite and solar.
TravelerCampground in located in Brownlee Reservoir at the mouth of Hells Canyon Snake River area. Paved, level sights, water, and Electricity on site. Some areas very shady so check in advance. Boat launch at the campground, plenty of room for Kayaks also. If you like fishing, wildlife watching, and hiking this could be your spot. The showers and restrooms were exceptionally clean. Camp hosts came around introduced themselves and were very friendly. WiFi can be purchased thru the telephone company in the area for various fees.
