About

National Forest

Umatilla National Forest

Overview

Bull Prairie Campground is a local gem; a beautiful, woodsy place to enjoy a vacation, host a family reunion or social event, and to enjoy multiple recreational pursuits. This moderate-sized campground is located adjacent to 28-acre Bull Prairie Lake, which is stocked annually with trout. An accessible, family-friendly paved trail along the lake is ideal for morning jogs, bicycle rides, picnicking, and shore or dockside fishing. The lake has a boat ramp, dock and trailer parking area, but only non-motorized boating is allowed. Nearby trails connect the campground and lake with the Morrow County OHV Park, 8 miles away. Note: ATVs are only allowed at the dump station and in the north part of the campground (sites 25-28).____ While this campground offers potable water, there is no garbage service so please pack out all garbage and dispose of it at home.__

Recreation

An accessible, family-friendly paved trail around the lake is designed for people who enjoy morning jogs, bicycle rides, picnicking, and shoreline or dock fishing. Non-motorized boating is allowed with a boat ramp, dock, and parking area for trailers. Within the campground adjacent to the lake is a large day-use picnic area with accessible facilities. Besides beautiful scenery, the lake offers many opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography. Hunting activities can be undertaken nearby, but not within this recreation site.

Facilities

This campground features 28 tent/RV campsites, 2 tent-only campsite, 3 double campsites, 1 group campsite, and 8 accessible vault toilets. Potable water is available seasonally throughout the campground and picnic area; no RV hookups are available. A 1.2 mile paved trail loops around the lake, together with 3 accessible fishing docks.__

Natural Features

This campground is fully forested with Ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, grand fir, and spruce. Trout are stocked in the nearby lake. Deer, chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits frequent the campground and waterfowl inhabit the lake and shore. It is also possible to sight an occasional elk in the nearby area. Bears and cougars live in the surrounding forest, but rarely enter the campground and bear-proof storage is not required. Mushroom and berry picking occur seasonally.

Nearby Attractions

The Morrow County OHV Park is located 8 miles north of the campground. Heppner, OR, located 41.5 miles to the north, is the closest town for supplies and gasoline.

Beautifully isolated.

We spent two nights here in mid-September. It was not super busy and that probably made our trip more enjoyable. A lot of the campsites are isolated by trees so you actually have some privacy and there is a decent amount of shade. However, be prepared to walk a little to the vault toilets, which were some of the cleanest we’ve used. The camp host Jody was super helpful and brought us a bunch of firewood. The lake is best for kayaking/paddle boarding. The lake is very clear in the middle but the edges have very tall sea weed.

Excellent camping location!

This tucked away lake and campground in the Umatilla National Forest is amazing. As you drive there you think what the heck. It’s dry and straw looking as far as the eye can see. Then you get closer and it starts turning green. Then you get to the area and it’s like an oasis in the midst of agri land.

The lake is great for fishing or floating with non motorized vehicles. And from the shore, great camping spots. I parked my small rv right next to lake. Was super.

There is a paved trail around the lake for walks or hikes. And everyone seems to observe quiet hours.

Toilets are scattered around and very clean.
