Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Wallowa-Whitman National Forest

Located in the beautiful Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, Anthony Lake Campground is not to be missed. The scenery is breathtaking and there is something for everyone to do. Kids will enjoy the lake and easy day hikes. I love the fishing and photo opps!!!

McCully Forks Campground in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest is an absolute haven for those seeking to reconnect with nature. The serenity and beauty of the surroundings are unparalleled, providing a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The lack of cell service was surprisingly refreshing, encouraging genuine relaxation and a chance to truly unplug. From the rustling of the trees to the clear, starlit sky, every detail felt like an invitation to breathe deeper and appreciate the simple joys. If you're looking for a tranquil retreat and a profound sense of peace, McCully Forks Campground delivers in every aspect. Can't wait to return!

Good stop great facility good dog park 30amp/water…easy on off the freeway. Great town/ location…we’ll worth the stop

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.

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.

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.

I wish we had more time at this spot. Beautiful scenery. Small but very clean pool. The campgrounds are very well taken care of. Pet friendly, family friendly.

They 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

Great stop over RV Park in the mountains between Idaho and Oregon in Baker City oregon. Full hookups pull throughs a small shop and a great little town. Well managed and clean. Large dog run. Great views.

First, the office staff was stellar! Very friendly & helpful! The park & bath house are tidy & clean. Appreciate that dog poop bags are conveniently located, and wide grassy strips around the perimeter provide places for potty walks (unlike some RV parks where the only grass is at campsites). Great big kudos to other dog owners for cleaning up after their dogs, too! However, for the price, we were not impressed with the rest of the park. Only 2 showers in each restroom with a cramped, shared dressing space. We also were disappointed with the soaking pools, which were small for this size park. Even tho a huge grassy area at one end of the park could be a lovely off-lead dog area, sadly it is not, and dogs are not allowed off-lead anywhere. For those of us with active/young dogs, a safe place for them to RUN, jump, play, & expend energy after a travel day is hugely appreciated.

Older campground with several forested spots along a muddy creek. Nice dog walking and biking forest roads directly off campground. Pit toilets, non potable water source, fire pits.

Usually we stop here for one to three nights when passing through the area. The hot springs are great and lots of room for the dogs. Only downside is there is no off leash area for our pups.

Stayed 2 nights in the tent area, early April 2021. Tent sites have power, but they are close. 6 foot leashes for dogs gives you an idea? But our neighbors were all friendly with our 16 foot leashes (always). Lots of Oxbow Reservoir access. Great hosts.

Hurricane Creek Campsite is super nice. Sits right along Hurricane Creek and has a lot of well maintained spots. My one caution would be that if you have dogs keep them on a leash because if they were to get in the creek that would be all she wrote. That creek is appropriately named as it really moves.

This camp ground is extremely beautiful. Good spacing between sites. We were here during the Off season. It was quiet and wide open. The town of Joseph was very close and with the visit. However, there was a lot of dog poop not picked up by their owners. Nothing more frustrating than having to spend time cleaning you shoes, twice.

Other than that we had a great day and would come back.

This is a free First come First Serve National Forest Service campground and thus, there seem to be folks living here full time. Lots of trailers, cars that looked like they didn't run and dogs off leash.  It's down at the end of a long bumpy road and no cell service. There was also a large Class A parked that I didn't see anyone enter or leave. I didn't feel entirely safe, also not unsafe either. 

The hike along the creek is nice. People bring their horses down here.

Late spring was a perfect time to spend a couple days in the mountain wilderness. Wildflowers we’re in bloom and temperatures were moderate during the day and a little cold at night. There is one clean vault toilet for the area, close enough to the campsites. Campsites are essentially a driveway with a picnic table, and suitable for small trailers or tents. Great hiking to the lush, broad meadows, which are fed by a creek cascading from the higher elevations. We let our dogs have the run of the place off leash. Getting there is a bit of a chore: about 20 miles of dirt track, but we’ll worth the effort.

Before I drove down here, I'd read some reviews about the road not being pot-holed and washboard, but I decided to risk it with my van and so glad I did! I found a level site for my van with neighbors not too close. (Oddly, they were folks I knew from Portland, go figure!)

Spent one night in that spot then took another closer to the river for the second night where I had to use my leveling blocks. But so worth it. Could hear nothing but the rushing river. Be bear aware here. Didn't see any bears, but they were around the week before I came.  River is fast. Keep an eye on your dogs!

We were swinging south from Seattle to hook up with I80 and this spot was in our wheelhouse. Not too far off of I 84 and really not to bad to find. The road entering was stone but it still easily passable. Most of the sites overlooked a beautiful lake stick among the hills, and we’re in decent shape with a fire ring, table and little grill. We got there on a Sunday and there were still a couple smoldering campfires so the place was probably crowded on the weekend. Not a lot of property associated with the area as most is fenced off and private. Still though enough to walk the dogs around.

The staff and people living there was very friendly and kind. Unfortanly that was the only good thing about this place. It was like camping on someones run down back yard. It had a smell of sour urine and you had to watch your step so that you didn’t step in dog poop. The restrooms were run down and were inhabited by earwiggs. The campground is located very close to the train tracks so if you’re a light sleeping bring earplugs since the trains went by through the night. We’ve stayed at campgrounds in national parks less expansive than this. $47/night is about four times too much. It we payed $10 we wouldn’t expect more but the price was ruthless in comparison to what we got.

I had originally intended on staying at one of three closer campgrounds that I ultimately rejected and made the decision to drive on to Minam State Park. Was I ever happy I did. The only downside was the 2 mile, narrow, gravel road into the park. A little bit of a nail biter with a bigger rig. Once there it was a nice size, dry campground with lots of sites to choose from and right next to the gorgeous Minam River. Whitetail doe with 2 fawns frequented the campground. Lots of fishing, some small trails and wound up walking down the dirt road with dogs as there was literally no traffic and the views were so outstanding. Apple trees alongside the dirt road provided a wonderful, unexpected snack.
