McDougall Dispersed Camping offers free camping with pets in the Blue Mountains northeast of Weston. The area provides primitive camping with few amenities but allows fires and provides vault toilets. The dispersed sites have space for small to medium vehicles and can accommodate tent camping. Several visitors report finding abundant morel mushrooms in the area during spring. The campground is overgrown in some areas, requiring careful site selection to avoid potential grass fire hazards.
Umatilla Forks Campground, located approximately 25 minutes from Weston, features secluded pet-friendly sites along the river with toilet facilities and drinking water. Sites are well-spaced with trees providing privacy between campsites. The campground is typically open from Memorial Day through October. The South Fork Walla Walla River runs alongside the campsites, though the current can be strong in some areas.

The area surrounding both campgrounds offers hiking opportunities in the Umatilla National Forest where leashed dogs are permitted on trails.
"Oregon always has beautiful state parks. This one is no different. It is close to Hwy 84, so there is road noise. The campsites don't seem to be as on top of each other as some places."
"It was a welcome dose of green after a long day of brown along the interstate through Idaho and western Oregon. The cabin was rustic, the shower house was in good repair with nice hot showers."

GuideThis 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.
ScoutThe views are incredible. Ohv park so lots of riders. I enjoyed the sounds of people enjoying themselves. Others may not. Pets are allowed. Lots of trails! There's some trash.
ScoutFirst of all, the staff is very nice and respectful. The campground is very clean. The bathrooms have showers and are well kept. They provide wifi, water, sewer and power at the sites. It's a bit pricey for being as basic as it is but when you look around at other campgrounds in the area and nationally the price is right in line. Next to Umatilla park so that's a bonus. Marina is just down the hill. Pet friendly. I would stay again.
TravelerI 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.
LegendOur GPS took us right to the campground (CG) plus there was plenty of Blue Valley RV Park signage to guide the way into a small industrial area and the adjacent golf course. Check-in was quick and we proceeded to back-in site 8 with FHUs. The utilities are towards the back of the pad, so I had to use two sewer hoses to get from the main black tank on our Brinklely G model. The sites on this side of the CG are nicely landscaped with a decent amount of room. After reviewing all the rules on line, we were a little concerned but the management was not overbearing and there are four main rules as displayed when you check in 1) 5 mph speed limit, 2) don’t park in the road) 3) pick up after your pet, and 4) pets on a leash. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. We got 4 bars on Verizon. There were no mature trees in our area, so we did not have a problem getting a clear shot north for our Starlink. We logged into the Wifi and it was above average, but the CG was not full. The CG is near a small but nice industrial area near the police station and humane society. Go to Walla Walla’s main street area where there are far more wine tasting rooms than you can do in a day. Grab pizza from the Sweet Basil Pizzeria. This CG was a good choice to visit the area.
ScoutWe have been here for month and honestly that 29 days to long. This place is okay for one night but if you want piece and quiet, this place is not it. The spots are so close together that you can hear others conversations. Every other day we were woke up from the park staff talking beside my RV running sprinklers, doing lawn care, or something. Don't leave anything on their picnic table or they will knock on your door at 9:30 am and they will keep knocking til you answer. Sure there's wifi but good luck using it. Pet park really stinks. Yes dogs use it but they don't treat it so on a sunny day it's strong stinch of piss. Almost Unbearable. Staff in the office are sweet but maintenance guy is an asshole. But the veins are beautiful.
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
TravelerThis park is a little pricey but it is in a great location near the Hot Lake Springs in La Grande Oregon. The sites are somewhat level, off between 1 and 3 inches so you have to watch how you park if you have an RV that can’t accommodate anything over 2 inches off level. There is a lot of grass, trees, birds, a couple of ponds, and it is very quiet. There is a super friendly and sweet cat who supervises all check-ins. The reservation process was easy, late check-in was easy, and they were flexible on check-out time. All hook-ups were conveniently located and worked correctly. They have seasonal hot spring soaking tubs which we did not get to use, but they were very clean and looked great. If we stayed more than one night we definitely would have enjoyed a soak!

The Blue Mountains northeast of Weston reach elevations of 5,000-6,000 feet, creating diverse camping experiences with temperatures that can drop below freezing even in summer months. Harris Park sits at a lower elevation along the South Fork Walla Walla River, approximately 25 minutes from Weston. Winter access to higher elevation campgrounds is often restricted due to snow accumulation from November through April.
Mushroom hunting in spring: McDougall Dispersed Camping area attracts foragers searching for morel mushrooms. "McDougall is a small mountain community located in the blue mountains above Weston, Oregon... Just past the village you get into the woodland where the Morels are plentiful. This is an ideal location to go mushrooming," notes Brandon K.
Lake activities without motorized boats: Jubilee Lake Campground offers water recreation in a peaceful setting. "The lake is chilly but swimmable from July - September... This is a popular location for canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding. There is a 2.8 mile trail circling the lake with breathtaking views all along," shares Brandon K. The lake prohibits power boats, creating a quieter experience.
Hiking with dogs: Pet friendly camping options extend to trail access. "There is a 2.8 mile hiking trail that takes you around the lake. My mom and I walked this every morning, and it was gorgeous," reports Julie P. from Jubilee Lake Campground. Remember to keep dogs leashed and bring waste bags for trail clean-up.
River-adjacent sites: Harris Park offers premium spots along the South Fork Walla Walla River. "The sites along the river, and the river itself, are beautiful. They are angled nicely to allow views of the river (and less of neighboring sites), with vegetation between sites to add a little extra privacy," explains Angela.
Secluded forest camping: The Blue Mountains provide opportunities for primitive camping away from crowds. At McDougall Dispersed Camping, one camper noted, "Primitive location, nothing there, but maybe a fire ring and a spot to park your vehicle. Go about 2 miles on the dirt road and watch out for the dirt pot holes."
Vault toilets and basic amenities: Despite being primarily dispersed camping, some facilities exist. "McDougall Dispersed Camping is a small mountain community located in the blue mountains above Weston, Oregon. There is a small neighborhood consisting of permanent RVs, cabins and shanties... The camping is unrestricted, just be respectful and careful," advises Brandon K.
Road conditions vary significantly: Winter access to higher campgrounds is limited by snow. "The road to the site was not plowed. Several feet of snow. Not many alternatives in the area so plan accordingly if you hope to stay here," cautions David D. about McDougall in April.
Site maintenance concerns: Some campsites require inspection before setting up. At McDougall, Matthew S. reports, "It was over grown and not well cleared. I decide to go to the NP campground. Glad I did." Prior flooding has also affected some areas.
Limited cell service: Jubilee Lake Campground and other mountain locations have minimal connectivity. Harris Park visitors note "no cell reception or wifi" is available, making these locations ideal for those seeking to disconnect.
Choose established campgrounds for amenities: Harris Park provides electrical and water hookups for families needing basic utilities. "All spots have water and electrical hook ups... At $30 dollars a night it may be a nice spot for a single night stay," reports Brock W.
Plan for temperature swings: Mountain camping requires preparation for cold nights. At Jubilee Lake Campground, John 'n Sara D. advises, "The nights get chilly, so be prepared with warm socks and a beenie, especially if you're tent camping."
Consider swimming safety: River currents can be dangerous for children. Brock W. notes about Harris Park: "The South Fork of the Walla Walla River runs along the campground but current is too strong for young children to play in." Jubilee Lake offers safer swimming options during summer months.
Site selection matters: At Wildhorse Resort Casino RV Park, a visitor recommends: "If you choose to stay here I would definitely go for a site away from the freeway. Ours was in B loop and you could hear all the vehicles cruising on by on I-84." This applies to many campgrounds near highways.
Limited big rig access: Most forest service and dispersed camping areas have size restrictions. Chris from McDougall notes, "At my site, you could fit 2 vehicles comfortably, but 3 is a little crowded." Harris Park similarly has limitations for larger vehicles.
Consider alternatives during peak season: When pet friendly camping near Weston, Oregon fills up, expand your search. "This campground is pretty busy during the summer season but was fairly quiet on the last weekend of the summer," reports Jon and Jenny P. about Jubilee Lake, noting temperatures dropped to 26°F even in early fall.
