Pretty view of the river. Campground looks like a farm storage area overall with the basketball court covered by a dog kennel, and junk lying about everywhere. Swim area is pretty mucky and shallow. Swim dock is barely in the water. There was a wasp nest in the electric hookup for our site and no one around to tell. In fact, we never saw anyone affiliated with the campground that we could tell. Cabins seemed super cute from what we could see. It has a lot of potential but needs some TLC. Bathrooms were clean and free showers that were too.

So close to a five star campground if it were not for the swarming mosquitoes anywhere in the shade. Grounds were well taken care of, owners so very nice and helpful, showers and restrooms spotless and free, great little laundry room, and cute gift shop. Lots of boat launches up and down river for kayaking.very peaceful. One down side was the lack of nice swimming area in the campground. Spots were side by side so little in the way of privacy. Wi-Fi was weak but worked. No cell service for Verizon. Nearest town with groceries etc. is in Salmon so stock up before you go.

Overall a nice park. Some things seem to be in disrepair like broken water pumps, branches down everywhere, a lot of sick trees, etc. Nice beach for swimming and launching kayaks. No real view of the water from the campsites but easy access via walking trail. Lewis and Clark center was pretty sparse but the video was interesting. Campers were all very respectful and it was very relaxing. I would camp here again. Site #15 in the A loop definitely had the best view of the water.

The campground was very clean and nice grass spots. The sites were very, very small and someone was always having to move their vehicle to allow someone else to have the room to back into their spot. It was basically an open lot with campsites in it. The pool was very nicely maintained but overchlorinated to the point of burning your eyes. Shane at the counter was super helpful and friendly. The young woman that worked there with long brown hair had a real customer service issue- she seemed to have a chip on her shoulder with the guests and acted as though she was doing you a favor by acknowledging your presence. Easy drive to the park.

The spots were solid dirt and our site was on top of the one next to us. It would have been better suited for a smaller rig (we were in a thirty foot trailer). The lake was actually a pond and was so scummy I wouldn’t let our kids swim in it. The dog park was a nice touch and lots of fun sitting areas and outdoor games. Right next to the road. Hosts were accommodating and so nice. Turtles in the pond were super cute! The wine bar was a nice touch. Showers kept flooding the bathroom but they were clean. Laundry was expensive.

Very large campground. The C sites are right along the river and C10 has a gorgeous view of the whole river valley. The equine camp was amazing. The campground was petty deserted when we were there in early August. Water had not been tested so was not considered potable and you can tell it doesn’t get a lot of attention from the local park office.

Clean bathrooms, green lawns everywhere, nice big campsite, and nice family beach area. Lots of garbage cans everywhere but no recycling. The showers were kind of dirty. When you reserve online they don’t allow you to pick your site and so you get what you get and we ended up with a view of the bathroom. Tip- call after booking online to request a site. The winds come through quite a bit which helps with the heat but make sure everything is secured down. A train also comes through right next to the campground at least once a day and it’s LOUD. WIFI is really weak and there is no cell service.

The campgrounds are very clean and well maintained. The RV sites are very close together. The road in is not for the faint if you  have a trailer or RV over 25 feet. It’s windy and a one lane coming into the park. The lake access is quite a long way away from the campground. Great trail access right out of the campground.

Though they are working really hard on cleaning up the grounds and buildings, it’s still really dirty and dusty. Our campsite had no less than 100 cigarette butts in it when we arrived. The lake access is choked with weeds and muck except in the designated swimming area which was clear. The manager Jes was great and accommodating. The water coming out of the spigots is hot so I assume the pipes weren’t buried deep enough. And the mosquitoes are HORRENDOUS. We all have about 100 bites even with spray. 

We won’t be back anytime soon.

Almost a five star if it wasn’t for the awful ROAD NOISE. You could hear the road noise from every site there, so much so in some that it drowned out conversation. Some of the camp sites were really in need maintenance via broken pad sites and encroaching trees.

Great campground with a lot of campsites. Some really beautiful sites next to the lake. Easy access to the lake from pretty much all of the campground. Great boat launch. The lake was warm and had a nice shallow edge for the kids. Would definitely come back if we could get closer to the lake away from the road noise.

The other campers reviews the OTHER Farewell Bend Campground near the Idaho Oregon state line.

This campground had a very rustic vibe to it with no open spaces. It was complete canopy cover and the river access was to a creek that was fast flowing and gave great background noise, but no swimming access. Fishing was good though I hear.

Though there were many campsites open from no shows the camp had no accommodations (cancellation after a day of no-show) to allow campers access to those sites. The sites that say they are close to others are literally so close we wouldn’t have been able to open our slides and the ROAD NOISE was awful. The bathrooms were tolerable. The camp host was not wearing a mask and when we expressed concern about the closeness of the other campsite we were told Covid was a hoax. They did allow us to switch sites but made us PAY AGAIN.

I would not ever visit this site again.

Huge camp with a lot of variety of spots for all campers. It was clean and very family oriented. Great access to the lake and the dunes and close to town. No access to the beach. Over half the camp was closed and appeared to be in the midst of a remodel. Only complaint is that they had the bathrooms closed due to Covid- they need to ensure those can remain open with appropriate sanitation.

The camp host was so helpful and nice. Their flower gardens were so beautiful. The campgrounds were clean as were the bathrooms. The second star was for the nice host!

The campground was not great. The spots are very close together, were just dirt, and the loud guests were not kept quiet during quiet hours. We stayed one night and got out of there.

The campground was clean, had a great variety of camping spots, and the Rogue River access was amazing. You can pull right up to the rivers edge in your 4x4 and float in the river all day. The camp host kept the loud partiers quiet during the quiet hours. Good availability of water spigots and the water quality was great. Nice area to ride bikes and lots of open spaces for activities. It was definitely hot weather in July.

They had the bathrooms closed due to Covid and brought in portapotties which made zero sense to us. This was our only complaint.

Would definitely go there again!

The price is not equal to the amenities and campground. The sites were uneven, dirt, and a lot of the large spots were taken by tent campers. We struggled to find a large enough camping spot. Perhaps first come first serve could be for lower price points with reservations holding a spot or some larger spots designated RV only? All the full service sites had no water due to a leak that has been ongoing for over a month. The swimming pool was only open two days of the week so we didn’t get to enjoy that either.

The trail to the beach was beautiful but for some would not be feasible as it was steep and bad footing in some areas. Bathrooms were very clean and the staff were very helpful and kind.

Great day park, not so great for camping. We stayed in spot 5 in loop 1, or the woods campground. There was a capped pipe that appeared to be waste water dump but was not. When we asked the park attendants why it wasn’t labeled or locked they had no answers. We ended up with an ant infestation in our camper and we camp very clean. It’s very barren and hot. The good was the camp was quiet and the sandy swim beach was nice, but only during the week. It was packed on the weekend.
