Maupin City Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Rafting and fishing on the Deschutes River draw most visitors to Maupin City Park, a municipal campground sitting directly on the riverbank in the center of Maupin, Oregon. Boat tie-ups and a concrete dock give paddlers direct access from the water, so rafters can pull in after a day on the river without hauling gear far. The campground splits into two distinct sections: one side accommodates RVs and trailers with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, while the other leans toward tent camping with grassy sites along the river. Reviewers note the RV side can feel tight for rigs longer than 35 feet, and overflow parking across the street handles tow vehicles when space runs short.

Sites are close together, and the campground books up quickly during summer. Noise is worth factoring into your planning. Train tracks run along the opposite bank, and trains pass once or twice through the night. The campground stays clean and well-maintained according to multiple reviewers, and staff hosts are consistently described as helpful. Hot showers are available, which campers doing multi-day river trips tend to appreciate.

One practical note from recent visitors: a few incidents of overnight theft from campsites have been reported, so securing valuables inside your vehicle or trailer before bed is advisable. Imperial River Co. sits nearby for campers who want a different setup, and those exploring campgrounds around Maupin will find several options along this stretch of the Deschutes. Reservations are available year-round and recommended if your trip dates are firm.

Many campers appreciated the river location, clean facilities, and friendly staff. Some feedback indicated concerns about cramped sites and frequent train noise from nearby tracks, though the campground remains popular for rafting access.

September raft trip

Stayed 3 nights and had a great time rafting on the river. Lots of options for RV and tent camping. Group sites are available (3). Restrooms could use an update but functional. All camp staff hosts are helpful and friendly. Will come back again. This campground is popular and books up quickly.

Lock Up Valuables and Booze

Overall experience was great…. with a caveat. It’s a small camping park, sites are small and close to each other. However the park is clean and well maintained. Our only issue is that our first night, at about 2am, I was woken up by footsteps outside our trailer window. I looked out to see we hat appeared to be a younger adult male dressed in all black who pulled the coolers and chairs out from under our trailer and pulled two booze bottles out of the cooler and had them on the picnic table getting ready to take them. I opened the door and scared him into running by yelling at him. This is my first time, in 40+ years camping that I’ve had anything like this happen. So at 2:15 this morning, I was outside hauling all of our gear into the trailer. Joke was on him though, the bottles were filled with water to freeze and use as ice. Just beware, this is a nice little park, but don’t leave your valuables out overnight.

We reported it to the office, who told us they’ve been having the issue recently, that they think it’s local teens, but their hands were being tied by local police on how to catch the thieves. I called local non emergency and reported the incident to them in hopes they might step up patrols or something.

Not great for anxious dogs

The camp ground has 2 sides. One heavy with RVs and Trailers and the other more for tents.

Prices are reasonable but it is popular so often very busy and lots of campers.

Our dog doesn’t like slow moving cars, bikes or other “weird” things…. So this park is a last resort if we can find open BLM.

This is close to the train. I personally love it. I camp in the area often. The train runs once or twice a night. Sometimes it wakes me, most of the time I sleep through it.

The folks that run the camp ground are nice and the place is clean. They have great hot showers if you are staying for an extended time.

Trains

Tracks are very close and trains pass every couple hours throughout the night. If I had known I would’ve gone elsewhere.

Overcrowded

The tent camp runs along a river which is nice and there is grass and each site has a table. The problem is they pack the campground like sardines and only have one facility at one end of the campground.

Great Quick Access Rafting Campground

We stayed at Maupin City Park between days rafting on the Deschutes. There was a happy vibe to the campground itself, and the facilities were clean and well-stocked. 

We enjoyed the proximity to the Imperial River Company restaurant, and quick short drive to a convenience store to restock supplies before our last day on the river. 

The sites aren't huge and are packed pretty close together, but that's not a huge issue when just making a pit stop. Parking for trailers is available, and everything is just a minute from the river itself. 

Boat tie-ups are available on the river that lead directly into the campground, so you don't have to pull up your boat for the night, and unloading is simple on the concrete dock.

White River BLM Campground, 2 miles north of CityPark along BLM access road

The White River BLM Campground is north of Maupin along the Deschuted River BLM access road. I think there's about 5 sites. These sites are all located along the Deschutes, between Maupin and the 216 highway. I think the sites were $16/night. 

The sites are pretty basic, with vault toilets and no running water. There is a picnic table and fire ring at each site.  The highlight is the amazing river access and views. Fishing and rafting are the main activities here. 

I loved the sound of the Deschutes as you fall asleep.

Great setting

We stayed in an 18 foot trailer. The sites are a little tight for ginormous 36 foot trailers with multiple slideouts. We fit just fine. This place is by the river with some shade trees. No highway noise but the train tracks are across the river. You may have to park your tow vehicle in the overflow lot across the street. There's rafting and fishing. The rv spots have power, water and sewer.
