Seventeen miles east of Anatone, Misery Spring Campground sits in a valley within Umatilla National Forest where recent timber operations have altered the landscape. The US Forest Service maintains this established campground, though pets are not permitted on the property. One reviewer noted significant horse fly activity during midday hours and limited shade coverage due to fallen trees left from logging operations. The site's location in a valley bottom may contribute to insect issues during warmer months. Campers exploring camping near Umatilla National Forest should consider the exposed conditions and plan accordingly for sun protection and pest management.
