This small park is a jewel. You can't reserve a site here, but the gamble pays off big time. Friendly park host and rangers. Lots of adult trees, grass, and space between sites. Sites are large and navigable. We loved it here. Oregon State Parks can be proud. We camped here in a Motorhome.

You will need to stay at this park if you travel us 26. Shaded camp sites and nice and private. Well maintained and lots of hot water for showering. Large day use park for get togethers. We use this park when going to the Oregon Coast. Their are a lot of mosquitoes so bring your bug spray. You will like this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was one of our favorite parks in all of Oregon. Found it by accident after deciding not to stay at the John Day Fairgrounds which had loud motorcycle gathering. This is a great park. Huge grassy spaces, very far apart with lush green grass and landscape. We felt like we were on someone's private property. Well maintained and spaces were long enough for bigger rigs.Walkway next to the river. We were next to the river and did not have any bug problems to speak of. Really loved this park and if we are in the area again would stay a week. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an outstanding campground. Large, wide, level and paved sites. Lots of space between sites with grass. Some highway noise. No Wi-Fi, 2 antenna TV channels. Our Verizon phone and broadband worked perfectly. Water and electricity for $22/night. The John Day river is right behind the campground, but there are no sites that are immediately adjacent to it. We will be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have stayed in many of the Oregon State Parks, first time for this one. We were not disappointed at all. Very large sites and quite private. We had site #7, backed up to the John Day River. Close to town for fuel and groceries plus fairly close to John Day Fossil Beds. Only negative was highway noise occasionally, not a real busy road. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is another beautiful Oregon State Park. The sites are large with many trees and shrubs. The parking pads are asphalt, large and level and the electric and water hookups well located. The bathrooms and showers are very clean. There is a hiking trail along a small river. This park is 1st come, 1st serve for campsites but they have a couple of Tee Pees that can be reserved. You pick a campsite then self register. This park was being cared for by a hard working camp host couple as the rangers were spending most of their time opening a new state park nearby. The camp hosts were friendly and were doing a great job. The only negative we found is that the park is located near the road and there is traffic noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pretty park with big trees and stream. Right on highway but not too much traffic noise. Would recommend this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rated a 10 as a campground, it is not a RV Park. The sites have electric and water, sewer is at the dump station, none the less this is a beautiful spot. Lots of grass, long back in sites (asphalt) with table and fire ring. Older facilities, but the toilets and showers were clean and well maintained. It is nice to have grass instead of dirt at a campground. There is a nice path with a couple of different loops along the river. A great place to stay and see the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a beautiful park. Green grass nice big sites, not too close together. The only problem is that it is right on the highway and the there is lots of traffic on the road. It is worthy of an overnight stay if you don't mind the noise from the road. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great place. Lots of shade and green grass. We stayed for four days and used it as a base camp for exploring the area. Great sites, large, private, and well-kept. The showers are basic but get the job done. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great/convenient stop over point traveling through Eastern Oregon on US26. $17 is the normal rate. Our fee was $0.00 based upon Oregon State Park "Ten Free Nights" for disable vets and active duty military. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Another great Oregon State Park, beautiful park, with large spaces, super John Day river walk, and friendly personnel. Who could ask for more? We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great shady sites with plenty of space around them. Only 31 RV sites (1 pull thru) which are good, spacious and paved. The rest are tent sites. Good access to John Day and to the Fossil beds. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Extremely clean Oregon State Park with great hosts. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

There are very few campgrounds around John Day, but this is one of the best campgrounds we had used in several years. It is the honor system for an overnight stay, they charge $20.00 for a nice shaded site with full hookups. It is part of the Grant County Fairgrounds, so it is well maintained. The best part was the deer just walking through the campsite all day long. A must stop for anyone who is traveling through that part of Central Oregon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We discovered this by accident while driving across central Oregon. It's perfect for the weekend - long pull-thrus, 50 amp, some shade but the satellites work in most spots, full hook-ups, picnic tables. Close to the Kam Wah Chung museum we haven't visited yet, but will. And Saturday night will be a Demolition Derby next door!!! Might not be as quiet then... We'll go. The river is just behind the campground, but access is limited by overgrowth. Several good restaurants in town, plus a fast food, in a little bitty town. They have raised the price every year it appears - used to be $10 and then $16. It's a value at $20, with monthly rates available also. We'd definitely come here again. It's difficult to find coming from the east, but well marked from the west. We camped here in a Motorhome.
