Harris Park

We stayed in this County Park campground primarily to spend time with some friends who headed down from Washington. It was great for that purpose- they reserved two adjacent campsites on the South Fork Walla Walla River. We spent most of our time hanging out at the campsites, with some leisurely strolls to check out the rest of the park. 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. Our friends and most other campers were in larger RVs with bathrooms, which I think is the target customer. Since we have a small teardrop(no bathroom), we used the flush restroom at the park. The bathroom was clean, but not really comfortable to use, as the fixtures are "institutional"-style and solid stainless steel- made for durability no doubt, or to survive the next flood, but definitely uncomfortable on cold mornings! If we stay here again we will likely set up a portable bathroom. The gentleman who runs/maintains the park is pleasant and on the grounds regularly. Electrical and water hookups available, but no hot water or showers, and no cell reception or wifi.

Harris park is approximately 25 minutes from Milton-Freewater, Oregon. Harris park has 14 private campsites and a large 14 spot group campsite. All spots have water and electrical hook ups. The campground was flooded by 8 feet of water in April of 2020. Several cabins and campsites were lost to the flood. The campground is being repaired currently but that comes at the cost of construction noise. The South Fork of the Walla Walla River runs along the campground but current is too strong for young children to play in. The campground was clean and the staff was friendly. I have no doubt this spot will be rebuilt and become a great destination again, someday. At $30 dollars a night it may be a nice spot for a single night stay.
