Our old Trailer Life directory showed this as a privately-run facility with "Class A" amenities (whatever that means). As such, I expected something much more than what we got. Why does KOA think their campgrounds are worth the high prices they charge? This one is nothing more than a parking lot with some grassy areas. Pull-thru sites are more expensive than back-in. The restrooms were clean, but included a very lengthy list of rules. It sounded as though they should have provided cleaning supplies based on what they expected users to do. My husband used the shower and said it was barely a trickle. I opted to use our own. The Wi-Fi was strong and worked well, as did the cable TV hookup. When I checked in, the host seemed surprised that there were so few people coming in. The rates at the Lookout are nearly $10 per night cheaper. With a KOA card, the rate was slightly less than $36. Guess they've never heard of winter rates. If we stay in Pendleton again, it will be at the Lookout, which has similar facilities. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was clean and the sites level. There were not many other transient guests or we would have needed to unhook as the pull-through sites are double stacked. The Wi-Fi worked for about 30 mins, then quit and the office was unable to get it working for the remainder of our stay. We would probably stay elsewhere next time to be sure of good internet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A quick stop over from the highway for a one night stay. Sites are mostly paved and it looks like a big parking lot. We did not want to unhook for the night and got a really bad site. Other people with a travel trailer had to unhook. Not sure why, because they were not booked at all. Our site was right in middle and the water faucet was leaking pretty bad. The sprinkler was leaking too. There is no area to walk your dogs. There is a very small pet kennel with gravel. Whoever checked us in did not know how to give us our KOA discount that we earned. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The staff was very friendly. If you like feeling packed in like sardines this is the place for you. There are obviously several full time trailers in the park. Was able to get the slide out, but barely. Our truck had to be parked in our front door making getting into our rig very difficult. Spent one night here. One night too many. Wal-Mart parking lot would have been more comfortable. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Fairly easy access off I-84. If you're a "big rig" towing, you should unhook before going to your site. Access road is narrow and, when we were there, crowded with parked vehicles. Sites are concrete and park is clean and quiet. Wi-Fi is erratic. No pool or other amenities so it's simply a one-night stop-over park...unless you're there for the rodeo. Some sewer/electrical hook-ups are too close to the access road for ready connection. Staff are pleasant. We camped here in a Motorhome.
All spots were concrete with a table in the grass outside your door. Small trees between each site will grow in a few years to make this park even better. Easy off the freeway, easy to find. WIFI worked without a flaw but if you are calling ahead to get a site after they are closed, asked they put the code on your bill. Water pressure and electric were very good. Quiet at night, but a little bit of morning noise as the residents got in cars to get to work, but really not enough to bother you. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice park. Yes, spots are somewhat close but there is plenty of room for slideouts plus the picnic table they provide for each spot. Clean restrooms with good water pressure. Wifi worked excellent and was free. We had a pull through spot and it was long enough for motorhome and toad. Cable tv worked super. Pendleton is an interesting town if you go into town and look around. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The only reason for a nine rating was that the sites are a tad bit small. Otherwise everything was great, except for the fact that there are two streets named almost the same, so you gotta read the directions very well and watch for the small signs.. The help is beyond helpful and are some of the best , funniest, people I've met on many a trip. Everything was neat and clean and we were far enuff from the freeway so there was no noise, but close enuff to get on and off easily. One of the other posters said there wasn't too much to do in the immediate areabut I disagree, you just have to go look for it.. There actually are a lot of good rests to eat at in town and a lot of other things. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The staff were very friendly and patient with our special requests. The park was very clean and well maintained. There was not much in the way of amenities in the immediate local area, however. The website lists Wi-Fi as available with a fee, but it was actually free and worked well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Spaces were very close together. Only the monthly sites on the outside had a good view of the mountains. Lots of full-time residents here with storage at the west end of the park. They were take over at the first of May by KOA and would not honor my Passport America. I moved to another, better and less expensive campground just east of town after one night. The office staff was very pleasant and helpful though - it's not their fault that KOA won't honor PA. Would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice camp ground. Easy access to and from the freeway. Close to down town. Pendleton has a lot to offer, good restaurants and shops to look through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A fine park but the sites are very close together so only a few sites have good views. WiFi was fine but cost extra. Staff was friendly. The Hamly leather store and restaurant in Pendleton are worth a visit. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Streets are a little narrow. Wi-fi works great, but costs $3.00/day. Park is clean and staff are very friendly. No railroads and I-84 is far enough away that park is very quiet. Nice view of Blue Mts. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very nice park for the area. Convenient, quiet, and nice Blue mountain views. The staff was among the nicest I've encountered. They do a great job considering this is not an area that would typically attract RV'ers. I would recommend it to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We thought this was a good overnight park. Level sites, clean bathrooms, and close to Pendleton and I-84, but no WIFI. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Office closes at 6:00 p.m. Has wifi -- but for an additional fee. Park is clean. Occasional meals are served for a very reasonable price in the club house. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An older but nice park. Many of the sites are narrow. We have a 34' 5th wheel with three slides. I tried 2 sites until able to get into the 3rd and open my slides. Buildings and office in a western theme. Office staff friendly and helpfull. WiFi is available for $2 per day. Of the 14 parks we stayed in on this trip, only 1 other charged for WiFi the rest offered it free of additional charge. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Basic cement lot with minimalist plantings as landscaping. Park is on a hillside overlooking the valley (and the freeway). It was so windy we couldn't hear anything but the wind buffeting the rv all night. I expect if there was no wind, there would be some freeway noise. Friendly staff, clean showers and restrooms. A good place to spend the night. Tie everything down! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place for an overnight stop or to stay a few days. One of the cleanest parks I have
seen. Well kept grass between the sites. Level paved sites. Massive cable system. Clean private bathroom and shower. Far enough from the freeway to be very quiet. A number of permanents, but ALL are very neat and clean sites. Will definitely use this park again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is basically a parking lot campsite, but nicely done. No trees, but also none in the area either. Hilly, but most sites level. Wi-fi was poor reception, but host said they were putting in another one for the season. Easy in and easy out from I-84. We would return if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As pointed out by other customers, this is nothing more than a paved parking lot with hookups, although the bathrooms/showers are very clean. I didn't use the laundry facilities, but those looked nice as well. The worst part of the experience for me was the registration/check-in process. The office absolutely REEKS of cigarette and I had a splitting headache after spending less than 5 minutes inside. If it's windy, you can count on your rig being given a good shaking because the location is without any sort of wind break and on the side of a hill. There are some permanent-looking residents here, but nothing scary. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is Wal-Mart with hookups. It is just an asphalt parking lot on a hill. Early in the morning the tractor business behind it gets noisy. The restroom/shower combos were nice and clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We found this campground the same as described by others and have no complaints. It is a short walk to the hotel and casino. Took our computer to the hotel and used the free Wi-Fi there. Received discount coupons that got us a nice full breakfast for $5.00 each. Very friendly and helpful staff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We reserved a 50 amp site. We called back to confirm the 50 amp site. We got there and were told that the people we had talked to made a mistake. Our reservation, we were told, was not for a 50 amp site. If you are a gambler, this place will suit you well. Shuttle service will take you to the casino and back. If you don't gamble, see if you can find better. No trees and too few 50 amp sites in this hot, desert climate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our experience was excellent. We were checked in rapidly because we were the only one's there at the time. They have a shuttle to casino for their buffet which had a RV park discount or free continental breakfast, clean restrooms and shower also a nice heated pool. Cable was sharp and clear. Spaces were a little crowded for 2 slides and some pull throughs were gravel as was ours but it was level and smooth. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If this park had shade trees, it would be a much nicer park. Summers are hot here and shade would make a big difference in appeal. Casino was once a very nice place, however, this year we found it to be badly deteriorated. Nice golf course next to RV park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park was clean; the check-in process was slow due to the small office with one person. I understood they had wi-fi only to find out that it was at the adjacent casino. It looked like the golf course was nice. The cultural museum was just excellent. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were very disappointed in this CG and won't go back!! Upon arrival, had to wait ten minutes while clerk and a guest argued about what sites their group members were supposed to be in. Clerk didn't seem to care about them or us. We were to have a paved pull thru but she gave us a rocky pull thru that was narrow, short, and unlevel with holes in it. Site was also covered with cigarette butts. We went back to office and asked to move and she said "pick a spot and tell me". We chose a gravel and dirt back in on perimeter with no neighbors. Much nice than crowded pull thrus. Bathrooms and showers were filthy so did not use them. Caution: they have water regulators on their taps that point outward and ruined my water regulator so take yours off. We had evening buffet at casino and it was better than we expected. Will not return to RV park! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice cement pads, long enough not to unhook. Easy walk to casino and coupons for breakfast buffet. Pool not open when we were there and NO WIFI. Satellite works great though. Lots of sightseeing around. Have stayed in the past and will stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good park to stay a day or two. Some paved and some gravel sites. Overnight rate includes a coupon for continental breakfast at the hotel/casino. It's pretty windy on the plain so don't try the walk to the casino. You can call for a pickup by the casino shuttle. Down the road beyond the RV park is the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, very interesting tribal museum. Downtown Pendleton is just five miles away. There is a Wal-Mart, Safeway, shopping and restaurants, and the Pendleton Mill. Verizon cell and air card on full signal. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice location next to the casino and golf course, but the pool and spa were both out of service. Also, they have discount prices for Sam & AAA, but only on Monday-Thursday - no weekend reduction! Price seemed a bit high for basic services of electric, water & sewer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Large sites, we didn't have to unhitch our trailer. Never did see staff, closed up early and came in late. Had to trek over to the busy hotel lobby and wait in line to get bathroom/laundry room codes. The wifi didn't work, no cable tv hookups, not all sites are level. Was convenient for an overnight, but lacking as a destination. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very good access and fairly wide roads, enough for big rigs. Long sites, do not have to unhook toads. View of the mountains even though very few trees anywhere and mostly concrete - great place to stay 1-2 nights. Food at casino OK, casino typical - not "loose" for us like someone else stated though. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wi-Fi did not work. Staff were friendly. Sites were well maintained. Walking distance to Casino. Had to move picnic table to our site from another site, not all sites had tables. No shade or privacy between sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park next to the Wild Horse Casino along I-84 east of Pendleton, Oregon. There is also a very nice golf course on the property. Just past the RV park is an excellent Native American Cultural Center. The Center is well worth the visit and price of admission. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Fairly nice park. Each site has a little spot of grass. Level asphalt sites, although we did see some that are gravel. Office staff was rude and frequently not present during posted office hours. This park is in the Enjoy America list, but the staff is hesitant to give the discounted rate. Even with these limitations we would still stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Was a beautiful place to park, we ended up staying 3 nights! Was quiet despite being pretty full for the weekend. A golf course, museum and casino all within walking distance. The view from my site was not obstructed by the rv next to me and it was a beautiful view of the Blue Mountains. Sites were pretty level, only issue is that the sewer connection is pretty far back, had to move back to reach it. Sites are very long, I saw several big rigs with plenty of room for their tow vehicles next to them. They provide a free shuttle to the casino, but the walk over is not that far. The park was very clean and the pool was nice too. Staff very friendly and helpful! Would definitely stay here again and plan to next time I'm in the area! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great spot for a short break. They have all kinds of giveaways in the casino, the golf course is wonderful and the views are spectacular. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We just stayed here for one night and overall were very pleased. We stopped here after travelling all day on the interstate. This park was very well maintained and clean throughout. The staff was exceptionally friendly towards us. We ate dinner at the casino buffet and it was fine and inline with most other buffets you find at these type casino resorts. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
In the "RV State" this is a typical park. I have never seen so many RV Parks per capita anywhere. This park is well located, but a bit barren. The planners gave good thought to most things: some of the sewer connections end up being about 25 feet from your hook-up (bring an extension), and landscaping (there is none). The office folks are nice, the casino is bigger than I thought it would be (and loose), and the area is different then expected (mountains/high plains). We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice park with level sites near a casino. We actually came out ahead (a first) at the casino. It is quiet and had killer sunsets when we were there. I would go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice, clean, well maintained park. Streets and sites are asphalt with about half being pull thrus. Depending on how long your rig is, you may have to unhook and park your tow beside your rv. There is grass between the sites and some small trees around the perimeter of the park. The park is big rig friendly. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We arrived on a holiday evening with reservations but didn't park in the assigned space, it'd been occupied already. The next day the nice office lady changed the computer to reflect the move. The discount structure is strange, especially for "Enjoy America" so if you're depending on the discount call and make sure you're arrival and departure match their structure. We stayed in one of the "back-ins" along the Eastside, overlooking the wheat fields. The spaces are wide with very nice lawns and picnic tables at many of them. I liked the placement of the utilities except for the sewer has a cement collar that is to high for most elbow screw-in connections, I resorted to an adaption with a long connector piece stuck into a "donut". Strange but it worked. Also, I noticed many units had to adapt getting their sewer hoses over a curb and down the incline to the inlet. Overall, it's a OK place for a few nights. Be sure to take in the "Underground City Tour", Pendleton Woolen Mills and treat yourself to a meal with a bowl of soup at "Roosters" restaurant south of town on Hwy 395. The chicken noodle soup is FABULOUS and this is not a chain eatery.... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
As stated, the CG is a function of the Wildhorse Casino. Also adjacent to a nice golf course and the Tama'stslikt Cultural Institute which is definitely worth a visit. Not a lot of shade but, the trees are growing. Sites are mostly level, really deep, and spacious, for this type of CG. Did note a bit of voltage drop as the CG filled but not sufficient to cause concern. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park and the staff was extremely helpful. The resort includes a casino, hotel and beautiful golf course. There's a free shuttle that will pick you up and drop you off at your RV. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good CG located out in the middle of nowhere. Collocated with the Wildhorse Casino. Large, wide, level sites. Big rig friendly. Good restaurant in casino. No Cable TV, but several over-the-air TV stations available. Good layover site, cheap and you'll likely make up for the low site costs with a donation to the casino. Good luck here. A very pleasant stay over spot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stopped here for an overnight stay. Campground was clean and sites were large. Campground has a pool--separate from the hotel and casino. We were not impressed with the casino. When you stay here you receive a ticket good for a free continental breakfast at the casino. I would not hesitate to stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Laundry available. Easy in and out of campground. Mostly asphalt sites with a few gravel sites. 12 50 amp sites and the remainder are 30 amp. Good Sam, Escapees, AAA and AARP discounts apply. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is basically an open field with pad sites. Has a pool and laundry facilities. The park is clean and safe with friendly staff. Try to get space 93 (back in) as it is a corner space with view of valley. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice RV Park. Pull-thru sites that are too close together like you would expect from this type of place. But nice and clean with lawn in between the sites. Pool and Casino looked very nice although we didn't use either. Was disappointed that we didn't have a picnic table at our site, and after looking around only about half the sites had them. Staff was pleasant. Not really the kind of place I'd stay for a long weekend, but a great overnighter. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice campground. A bit hard to find since signage and directions are not the greatest. (It's behind the hotel/casino.) Large, level pull-thru's (concrete pad) with extra space to park vehicle next to coach. Swimming pool is at the hotel a short walk away. So is free continental breakfast. No shade. Sparse grass. Very clean. We camped here in a camper.
