About
State Park
Red Bridge State Wayside lies along Oregon Highway 244 and offers visitors overnight camping and daytime opportunities. Situated along the banks of the Grande Ronde River, the park is forested with ponderosa pine and cottonwoods. Uncrowded, quiet summer evenings greet campers and day-users alike. Enjoy a day of fishing or cool off in the gentle waters of the river.
Located in the heart of the Blue Mountains, the park can serve your needs as a base camp for big game hunting, mushrooming or simply exploring the miles of national forest within easy driving distance of the park. Take a drive and partake in local activities in nearby La Grande.
Red Bridge is convenient to the full services of La Grande, including emergency services, restaurants, shopping and many community events. Whether you need a place to picnic, or camp in a forest setting, Red Bridge State Park can fulfill your needs.

This location inaccurate
The true Red Bridge park is a decent little roadside spot. We drove thru, didn’t stay. Next to road but not too busy. Day use area is riverside and very nice. But this location is shown wrong. When you head out past Hilgard Junction (which is accurately shown) you first come to Bird Track Springs park, which is shown inaccurately as well. Then you hit Red Bridge. The good news is you can’t miss either. Just look to left as you head out from Hilgard. You hit Bird Track in about 10 minutes and Red Bridge only a couple mins beyond that.
Comfy, relaxing, clean
While this site is close to the two-lane highway, it feels tucked in and close to nature anyway. Individual sites are spacious and have running water, picnic tables, and fire pit. The restroom facilities are clean and accessible. Hosts are friendly and helpful. Best part is the access to the Grand Ronde river where kids can wade or explore along the banks. We’ve been twice and will return. Recommended.
