Learn more about this land:Campsites are gravel parking with park-like lawn, well kept, and surrounded by a small picnicking area with extra parking, porta potty, garbage receptical, BBQs, tables and chairs on sprawling grassy lawns shaded with 100 year old large trees. Perfect for a large group. We have a big tree swing and an adult size teeter totter for you to enjoy. There is a horseshoe area. The camping sites are back in only, so if you have trouble backing in, I am happy to help. Each spot has a fire pit with first firewood supplied, (additional be purchased) and a picnic table. Surrounding area is sagebrush, 2 miles from Wallowa National Forest with miles and miles of wilderness trails, lakes and Mountain fishing, ATVs, hiking, biking. You can ride your ATVs right from the camp. There is huckleberry and mushroom picking in early summer and late spring. Local wildlife consists of deer, elk, eagles and owls, pheasants, quail, wild turkeys, all kinds of birds, (even an occasional farm chicken may wander by) and coyotes and frogs calling at night. My friendly labs like to come say hi. Campsites are for tents or RVs. Our electric is shared among the campsites. Our water is from a wonderful deep cold well that’s piped to a shared outlet in the middle of the RV camp. Bring a hose to hook up, we have one if you need one. Guest Wi-Fi if you’re close to the store. Cell service is limited. I do allow generators if you are not sharing the park with anyone else. If you’re the only ones, no quiet time, if others are camping, quiet time is from 10:00 pm - 7:00 am. Site 1: largest fire pit, close to the power hook up, the most shady spot but still sunny, closest to the park. Site 2: A bit of shade, most of the day in sun. Closest to water hook up. Site 3: A Sunny site, a little late afternoon shade. A little more privacy as it’s the last spot. Farthest stretch for water and power, but I provide an extension power cord to it. Our little store has items you may need if you run out or forget something. We also sell regular gas.

26mi from Shady Campground · 6 sites · Tents, RVs

Built in the 1940's by the late actor Eugene Pallette as a hideaway from Hollywood and a Refuge from looming world disaster after World War 2. There once was a cannery, a power plant a sawmill and a 5,000 sq' concrete warehouse built to withstand anything and house years of provisions. Many buildings are still standing and utilized.  The past guest list included Cark Gable (Gone with The Wind) Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan and Errol Flynn and many more. Located on the shores of the Imnaha river we have 2 miles of accessible, private spots. There is a lot of wildlife here and there is no better place to "unwind" and regroup. Pitch your tent in total privacy along the shores of the River and then kick back and take in all the sights and sounds of Nature. Surrounded by canyons on all sides tucked away in a private Valley is 300+ acres of room to roam along the river.   We have firewood and frozen bottles of water for coolers available for an extra charge And have added 3 outhouses. Potable water, picnic tables, and outhouses on site. Pets are welcome. Camp fires are permitted outside of a fire ban. Our guests love staying here: "Camping at the ranch was pure enjoyment. We did not see or hear anything but the rushing river and the surrounding woods. The stars at night we’re amazing and there was plenty to explore on the property and nearby."

The Evans Farm is a Century Farm which has been in our family for three generations (with the fourth generation children enjoying it now).  It was a self sufficient family farm for many years with Jersey Dairy cattle, Suffolk Sheep, pigs, quality horses, both Draft and Riding, and a flock of chickens.  A large garden supplied family vegetables.  A love for the land and the area were all part of the Farm. Located two miles from Joseph, three miles from Wallowa Lake, and close to hiking, fishing, camping, and outdoor adventures, the Farm is secluded but offers easy access to the surrounding area.

17mi from Shady Campground · 6 sites

Nestled deep within the Wallowa Mountains, this remote wilderness camp offers a sanctuary for rest, renewal, and reconnection. With six rustic cabins and three tent sites, the land has most recently served as a healing place for combat-wounded veterans—chosen for its quiet strength, natural beauty, and the deep peace that settles in the moment you arrive. Located just ten miles from multiple trailheads into the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area, the camp is an ideal base for hikers, backpackers, and seekers of stillness alike. Though fully off-grid, the property is supported by a solar power system and offers running water and internet access—providing comfort while preserving the simplicity and sacredness of the wild. The surrounding forest invites you into a slower rhythm. Tall pine, fir, and spruce trees release rich, aromatic oils into the air, creating a natural setting for forest bathing along the camp’s trails. Each breath carries grounding and calming properties long known to support the nervous system, ease stress, and encourage deep presence. Wildflowers bloom in season, birdsong fills the mornings, butterflies and dragonflies dance through the clearings, and wildlife quietly moves through the landscape. This is a place where silence is not empty, but full. Evenings invite reflection beneath expansive skies. With no light pollution, the night reveals millions of stars, offering a humbling sense of wonder and perspective. An outdoor fire pit (available outside of fire season) provides a sacred gathering space—perfect for quiet conversation, shared stories, or simply sitting together in warmth and stillness. The outdoor kitchen and picnic shelter support both community and self-sufficiency. Guests have access to a refrigerator, pellet grill, pizza oven, Dutch oven stand, large griddle, and range top. A sink plumbed with a garden hose is available, with hot water heated on the range. Recycling bins are provided, and bathroom facilities are on site. An inground shower on the property offers a refreshing and grounding experience. A 10 station fitness trail will fill the bill for outdoor conditioning and a mile long walking trail, where using all five senses, is perfect for deep immersion in nature.

Beautiful property featuring a rustic 1920s cabin (our home), located just minutes from the head of Wallowa Lake. The lot is over an acre and backs up to the Wallowa River. The driveway to the flag lot provides additional privacy and serenity. Nestled against Chief Joseph Mountain, the property offers a peaceful natural setting. The river flows along the lower portion of the property, and a small pond fed by an underground spring is located near the campsite. There are also several mature evergreen trees throughout the property. The tent camping area is located on the lower level of the property behind the cabin and is accessible by a steep gravel path (foot traffic only). A fire pit is available for use unless fire restrictions are in effect. The property is within walking distance of Wallowa Lake State Park and Marina, Wallowa Lake Lodge, the Wallowa Lake Tramway, trailheads, go-karts, horseback riding, miniature golf, fishing, and a variety of local shops, restaurants, and coffee carts. Some businesses operate seasonally, from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Wildlife is abundant, and we share the property with resident deer, foxes, raccoons, occasional bears, and more birds than we can count.
