1 night at Butterfield Farms

Erin has a beautiful campsite. It is very quiet, lots of shade from a huge tree, flowers, a campfire site, electric hookups, and a rural farm atmosphere in town. I highly recommend this site.

1 night at Micone Ranch

I appreciated that Tamara accepted my last minute request for an overnight stay. The ranch is very nice and Tamara was very accommodating. A wonderful find.

Weekend Trip to Waterfront RV camping brownlee

We love our stay. The host was very accommodating. The space is so beautiful! Thank you for the great experience.

Weekend Trip to Garden Valley River Access Campsite

This site far exceeded our expectations. Road noise was not an issue at all. We were able to park at the top of the space then bring chairs and dinner down by the river. Very peaceful.

2 nights at Waterfront RV camping brownlee

Very private with easy river access. Really enjoyed our 2 day stay there. Level place to park next to some trees and green. As advertised no surprises. Unpaved road for about 4 miles along the snake river. Spectacular views. Host met us and led us to our spot. We bought a dozen eggs for 5 bucks and had great breakfasts.

4 nights at Waterfront RV camping brownlee

Beautiful location. Danny was a friendly, helpful host — and he even helped us weld a break on our trailer! Fantastic communication. Boat launch was right onsite and easy to use for our fish boat. Campsite was quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

1 night at Waterfront RV camping brownlee

We loved the location and the view to the water. Excellent spot for paddleboarding.

1 night at Micone Ranch

I needed a place to park my trailer after a long day of driving preferably with electric hook up. This spot was perfect. Right off freeway. A little bit of afternoon shade and quiet. Good communication and friendly.

1 night at Kingswood Ranch

Simple, clean, friendly, and peaceful. Nice relaxed setting with horses, sheep, and more. So peaceful I napped most of the afternoon.

1 night at Micone Ranch

Great for small groups. Easy access to the bathroom and shower. Goats were friendly and enjoyed feeding time, though the babies had other interests. Being a ranch, flies are ever present, I would highly recommend an electronic fly scatter for tent camping. The pigs and chickens stayed pretty quiet, and their duck was constantly patrolling the property. If I pass through again I'll definitely stay here if its available.

Weekend Trip to Garden Valley River Access Campsite

We loved this spot on the river! Gorgeous views and access to river. It is very close to road with noise, so might not be for everyone. The lower Campspot (not accessible by RV) was private and felt more secluded and less noise.

3 nights at Waterfront RV camping brownlee

The view was amazing. It was pretty windy while we were there but spot #3 has plenty of little pockets where you can place chairs and relax. Because of the wind we did not launch our boat, but caught lots of catfish and bass from shore. The farm fresh eggs were great. The multi patterned eggs definitely brought back memories for my father who grew up on a farm. The host checked in a few times and helped to address all our questions.

Weekend Trip to Waterfront RV camping brownlee

The family were very helpful with great communication. Campsite was as stated and shown in pictures. Recommended all around

Weekend Trip to Waterfront RV camping brownlee

Amazing campsite right on the Snake River with plenty of privacy and the water was perfect for us and our dogs to cool off on a super hot day. Danny and his wife were both very helpful.

1 night at Garden Valley River Access Campsite

The site was gorgeous and right next to the river. Great communication from the host too. The site is close to a road so there was occasional noise from passing cars.

Weekend Trip to Northern Star Pallette Ranch

We absolutely adored our time at the ranch! Michelle and Larry were lovely and showed us to our gorgeous site right by the river. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Tamarack Falls Campground

We had an awesome stay as usual. One of our favorite spots

Weekend Trip to Micone Ranch

Very beautiful property and helpful hosts. Close to highway which was very nice for a stop overnight to break up long travel.

1 night at Micone Ranch

Wir haben die Ranch gut gefunden. Die Zufahrt war für unseren großen Camper eine Herausforderung, die wir aber gut gemeistert haben. Der Stellplatz war oberhalb des Hauses. Anfangs war noch die Autobahn gut zu hören. Tamara war eine sehr nette Gastgeberin.

1 night at Kingswood Ranch

Nice personal care. Family feel. Single campsite with tent platform.

Waterfront RV camping brownlee

5 sites · RVs, Tents125 acres · Huntington, OR

Learn more about this land: We have 125 acre farm ranch that is waterfront on brownlee reservoir. We have multiple camping spots along the water. There are 4 rv or camp trailer camp spots available. All 4 spots are dry camping. No power or water currently. we have a spot to launch boats which is right between sight 3 and 4. Good fishing. Very little boat traffic. Very private. In the fall big horn sheep frequently rut on the property. We usually have fresh eggs on hand. Dry climate. Sage brush and juniper trees here. We have a easy to access spot to fill up water to your camp trailers or rvs. The water is from a spring and Water tastes really good. This area has a lot of history. Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe often stayed in this area and on the property. In fact this was where his tribe met to discuss and decide to try to go to escape to Canada. This is where that journey started. You can still find arrow heads on the shoreline every so often. I’m ruffly 15 miles north of Huntington oregon. 13 miles of which is dirt road. The property sits at the base of lookout mountain. Really good cell service here with Verizon Full bars. If you decide to come camp make sure your directions take you through Huntington. Google sometimes likes to try to get people to drive over the mountain. Or if your coming from the north it sometimes wants you to go through Richland and then on 34 miles of dirt road. Going Through Huntington onto snake river rd is the easy way to go.

Northern Star Pallette Ranch

8 sites · RVs, Tents300 acres · Wallowa Lake, OR

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."

Micone Ranch

1 site · RV, Tent28 acres · Ontario, OR

Hello. My name is Tamara and my husband is Andy. We bought this place in 2022 with the goal of raising animals humanely and providing good food options to purchase at reasonable prices. After moving to Ontario I noticed there are not many good options for nighttime sleep. I fondly remember camping with our kids in a location we named Neverland. We decided we wanted to create that for people. That’s why we joined Hipcamp. We have several sites that range from close to the house and bathroom access to remote in a field with the sounds of the creek to lull you to sleep. To increase safety and aid in positive memory making, only one group is allowed at a time. We have lots of space so whether you are a lone traveler, a family, or a group of friends looking to make memories consider staying with us and our animals. We generally have goats, chickens, and pigs. From July to October we have pheasants. Oh, and we have Cheese, our patrol duck, who wanders and keeps an eye on everything. He loves treats. Look us up on Facebook under Micone Ranch. Our driveway is immediately off Ontario Heights Rd. Google tells people to turn on Grand View Lane. There is no access to our property from that direction. We have a 300-gallon trash bin next to our mailbox that says camp host. Our driveway is immediately across the road from there. The bridge at the entrance to our property is 11' wide, which should allow a standard 8' RV to pass into the property. RV hook up is right off the driveway by the power pole. Ground is in its native form and only gets minimal rain. Some weeds and goatheads may be present. A small, creek runs through the front of the property year-round. Water is clearer during the winter and spring months. The spots I have cleared in this area are small. I recommend tent camping in this area. It is densely wooded. We have goats in this field; they are shy. We have goat treats available for sale if you would like to feed them. Oregon has an invasive, poisonous weed called Water hemlock. If you camp in this area, familiarize yourself with this plant so you can avoid it. Camping areas have been cleared of this plant. If you wander along the creek, you will encounter it.
