    Jubilee Lake Campground (Or) — Umatilla National Forest

    Lovely lake!

    This campground worked great for our small teardrop trailer. It wasn’t the quietest campground we’ve stayed in, but people were respectful of the quiet hours. Sites were clean. Restrooms were acceptable. Last several miles of the road were very washboard-y - something that has not changed from previous visits over the years.

    Pleasant quiet and clean

    The host greeted us were shown the site warned about the irrigation coming on and then left alone. All the sites are water, power and sewer. LVery quiet park kind of out in the middle of nowhere but if you want to visit Palouse falls, this is a great place for your rv base. Found several other local attractions

    Wonderful spot

    Cute park with bathrooms and boat ramp. Very few people on a Wednesday night. No cell service. Palouse falls is a short 30min drive for something to see.

    Clean and friendly

    Andy at the front desk was very helpful checking me in. She and her associate assisted with me finding the best spot with some shade and facing the mountains. Yes, there are a lot of units here. And, it’s still a great spot for camping. They are all 50 amp and include a converter, if you don’t have 50amp. Leveled and spacious for vehicles.

    Great trip

    A group of friends and I went and tent camped in spot 14 for a couple days and had a great time. The site was fairly trashed when we got there so we did some cleanup but besides that it’s surrounded by a beautiful forest and even on a 95 degree day the shade is perfect and the water was refreshing to swim in. I liked the spot we stayed in, it was spacious enough for 3 tents (10 person, 5 person, and 2 person tents) it was shaded and fairly spaced out from other spots. The lake was pretty busy and there were lots of people but it’s easy to find places on the water to have to yourself. There was also an awesome rope swing maybe half a mile from the camp site, super fun!

    Played games and found a little spot down to the water we enjoyed. Store close by to grab sodas for our burgers that night. Clean campground and bathrooms. Very friendly hosts!

    This is a beautiful and quiet campground

    We were there in mid March, the only ones there at the time. There are seven campsites total, three can be accessed with an RV, we did ok with a 27' travel trailer, but I wouldn't recommend going there with anything larger. the rest of the sites would be tent only. There is a clean outhouse, no water or garbage service.  We will stay there again.

    Easy stop

    I've driven by for years and recently had the opportunity to stop in between a couple of long travel days.  Site was level and surrounded by beautiful trees.  We had a nice walk through the campground.  It was not crowded, being a weekday in October.

    I was amazed at the freeway noise.  Very loud.  Didn't really have trouble sleeping, but certainly not quitly peaceful, unfortunately.

    Great heritage site!

    Remote CoE Campground on Lake Sacajawea

    General: 41 RV sites with water and electric plus 11 tent sites in a grassy common area.

    Site Quality: Reasonable separation between the sites. The back-in sites are wide enough to comfortably fit a TT, 5th wheel or RV and your toad or other vehicle side-by-side. The pull-through sites are very large. All sites have gravel camper pads and most appeared very level or had a level area. Our site, along with several others, had a nice view of Lake Sacajawea. 

    Bath/Shower house: Clean even if a little dated. Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on that except that the hooks are located outside of the shower stalls so even though there is a swinging door to the shower area, privacy is compromised a bit by this design. 

    Activities: Unless you have a boat (there is a boat launch and dock), not too much to do here except relax. There is a small swimming area but no beach to speak of (grassy and pebbly area). There is a playground and horseshoe pits but no hiking trails that I could see. 

    To get to this campground, you drive past many miles of apple orchards and then suddenly, you see the lake and campground. There are quite a few trees for shade. Surprisingly good cell (Verizon) given the remoteness of the campground. Be aware there are train tracks nearby and you will hear an occasional loud train. It was very quiet on the Wednesday before Labor Day, but we were told it would be completely full on the weekend.

    Easy Park

    As a traveling family we enjoyed this park. Easy and simple access to all hookups. Mostly quiet (except for simi trucks parking for the night on the road near park running their equipment all night.) Staff was professional and kind. Not close to stores for any extras. Casino is nice.

    Nice place to kick back

    In the area to visit relatives. Facilities were clean. People we met were nice and helpful. Propane available to purchase. If visiting check out Country Mercantile about 20 miles south. Good eats!

    Jubilee Lake Campground (Or) — Umatilla National Forest

    Beautiful, busy, and loud

    Beautiful location, with the lake nestled in the trees. We enjoyed the hike around the lake, and the beautiful night sky. Unfortunately it is a very popular location, so if you’re looking for solitude you won’t find it here. Each campsite was full, and the parking lot was overflowing with day visitors (Friday and Saturday).

    Great one night

    Perfect for a short drive from Portland as we wind our way back to Kansas. Clean, great private showers, nice area for our evening mile walk. Some noise from highway traffic, but not terrible.

    Hood Park

    A Pleasant Site

    Be sure to stop at the entrance cabin, even if it appears empty. Our site, #9, was maybe 100 Rey from the Columbia. It. Was, however, roughly half way between the restrooms and the showers which were both about 100 yards away. We were very tired the first night and the noises from the industrial traffic on the river did not prevent us from sleeping. Not so the second night. You can also her the semi’s crossing the bridge . Mosquitoes were present but our device kept them away.

    Quiet get away

    Pulled in and noticed the sites were smaller and there were a lot of full time people there, regardless of that everyone was nice, respectful and the facilities are kept very well. I was very impressed with the personal bathroom/shower rooms. It was just a little get away for us wanting to relax and explore the Pendleton area and this was a terrific place with the easy access from the freeway. Staff were fantastic.
