Haystack Ranch

8 sites ¡ RVs, Tents500 acres ¡ Spray, OR
My family has owned the ranch since 1977. We bought it from my parents a few years ago to keep it in the family. We love living here, and although it is just the two of us working it, we are slowly getting it to what we want it to be. The house we live in is over 100 years old and used to be a stage coach stop back in the late 1800's to early 1900's, You can still see some of the old stage coach roads on the property, and we are trying to preserve those the best we can. Also in the early 1900's this ranch used to be the place to go on the fourth of July. People from all over would bring their prize horses to compete in a horse race for the name of the fastest horses around While others would bring picnic baskets to set back on the knoll in one of our fields to watch. Learn more about this land:We are a 500 Acre working ranch located in Beautiful East Central Oregon, We are Between The stunning Painted Hills, and Umatilla National Forest. Just a few miles away from the Gorgeous John Day River, where Rafting, Tubing, Fishing, Swimming is always a welcome retreat. A few miles above us is Bull Prairie Lake and the wonderful Umatilla National Forest where hiking, sight seeing and wildlife viewing is always available.

Milk A Sheep Camp

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents450 acres ¡ Lexington, OR
Didn't know you could milk a sheep? Or thought only cows made cheese? Come find out how it's done on this seasonal working ranch here in Eastern Oregon. Lambs are born in the spring and their moms are milked all summer long. I raise my sheep on fresh grass and sunshine. Come see for yourself here on the ranch. Pitch a tent on the pasture and literally count the sheep around you before falling asleep or climb the hill and see for miles in every direction. We may be close to the road, but it doesn't feel like it. We can accommodate campers, RVs, trucks, tents, and vans. 4 sites to chose from. Each site has access to a toilet, potable water, shower, picnic tables, trash disposal, and we allow campfires (outside of burn bans), and pets.  We also sell fresh eggs, firewood, and lamb sausage. Our guests love staying with us: "There’s fireside fun in fresh country air, rolling hills around the farm to walk along to enjoy the wide expansive view, and sights and sounds of animals around camp to make for a relaxing day. There’s kittens, dairy sheep, gigantic but friendly herd dogs, and a variety of chickens and ducks. The host was kind and friendly. Try the sheep’s milk cheese - what a treat!"

The best camping near Ukiah-Dale Forest State Scenic Corridor guide

Overview

About

The Ukiah-Dale Forest Scenic Corridor shadows the radiant currents of the John Day River and Camas Creek, taking you through a maze of Douglas fir and Western larch towards ideal fishing, wandering, picnicking and kayaking, not to mention the potent feeling of strength that hovers around stately old-growth pines. In autumn, Western larch turns to gold. In spring, wildflowers knit the green with indigo and orange. In winter, snow makes the water shine like diamonds and in the summer it’s velvety warm and verdant. Trout, steelhead and salmon will tempt anglers, the nearby national forest will draw hikers, and the Bridge Creek Elk Wildlife Area will attract big game hunters.

Notable campgrounds

  • Settle into the embrace of towering pines at one of the 27 primitive sites, complete with nearby water access.
  • Enjoy the convenience of paved parking at each site, accommodating self-contained RVs for a comfortable stay.
  • Experience the rustic charm of the campground's restrooms with flush toilets, enhancing your outdoor adventure.

Tips for snagging a campsite
