Page Springs Campground

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Bring bug spray, now $16 a night

Great little spot at the start of the Steens Mountain loop. A bunch of open spots on a Wednesday evening. Some nice shaded spots or full sun, your choice. Clean and well maintained. They did up the price to $16 a night in April. Plenty of mosquitoes so bring your spray.

Perfect campground in the middle of it all!

If you are in Eastern Oregon, exploring the Steens, Hart Mountain, or the dessert, Page Springs is the perfect place to land for day trips. Closr to French Glenn, a lovely, mostly treed spaces, campground right on the Donner und Blitzen River.

Spend your morning exploring the area and your afternoon in the river! We will be back for sure - next time in the fall.

Secluded and peaceful

Very quiet campground. Enjoyed the tranquility and small creek running near our site. Sites are fairly spaced out but most offer little visual separation from your neighbor. Very clean facilities and everything was nicely maintained.

Fabulous gem

We were on a spring break road trip and camped here to break up the day. I loved this spot! There’s not much I can add to the other reviews other than emphasizing how much we enjoyed this campground. We had 4 families with kids and all managed to find great sites adjacent to one another. We could walk a short distance and fish or hike and the kids safely cruised around on their bikes. It was cold (March after all!) but we had a big wood fire and roasted marshmallows. We fell asleep to two owls hooting back and forth in the nearby trees.

An oasis near Malheur National Wildlife Refuge

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. The location is near the refuge and Steen Mountain recreation area. The sites are spacious and far apart for privacy. Most sites have trees usually willow for shade. There are several vault toilets, fresh potable water from pump spigots, garbage cans, and recycling cans for glass and aluminum. There is usually a camp host to provide firewood and assistance. It is usually full on weekends when the refuge has bird migrations. Deer can be pests as they wander the campground at will. The graded gravel road in can be rough washboard at times. Sites are large enough for the bigger RVs. If you have a tents, you can stay right next to wetlands or the Blitzen River.

Beautiful BLM Camp

Stayed here expecting super-remote, off-grid...had full cell service 🤪 Beautiful camp about 2-3 miles off main road; easy & smooth gravel road. I camped stone’s throw from Blitzen Creek; made sleeping a dream. Pit toilets were very clean & well-stocked with tp. Camps are spaced apart, but typical, some people run generators during quiet hours. I saw a camp host, but no rangers during my stay.

Nice little campground

Came in about 5pm in late October and had about a dozen open sites. The campsites are large with lots of space for each site but no real privacy though. Pit toilets are clean and there are a few places to get water but other than that there are no hookups. Only marked it down a star because the road in is very washboarded. 5 bars LTE on Verizon.

Beautiful sites!

Page springs was beautiful. It sits at the end of the auto discovery route through the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. We arrived in mid May and the road to the top of the Steens was still closed for winter. Luckily there was a lot to do. We hiked the trail behind the campsites through a beautiful canyon. We saw snakes and fly fishers doing their things. We spent time at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge and saw more birds than I can count. We even saw a beaver.

The sites we big and each one unique. It felt like each had its own lawn where you had plenty of room to throw a football around.

There were pit toilets and, from what I could tell, no electric hook ups. No showers but up the road, you could pay for a shower from another Campground.

In may, the mesquitos weren't bad. It was still pretty cold.

Must stay if you are visiting the Steens or Malheur.

Close to Frenchglen

We blew through here on the way to the steens. Still pretty far away from the gorge and things worth seeing. Seemed like a good option for RVs who didnt want to deal with steens loop to leave their trailer. Watch for snaaaaakes and mosquitos. Big sites, but not a lot of privacy or shade.
