The best campervan parks near Mitchell

·

Mitchell’s campervan scene runs deep—over 680 campsites in the area cater to van travelers, with average stays around $49 a night and some as low as $15. You’ll find sites tucked beside painted hills, along winding backroads, and just a short drive from fossil beds. favorites like Experience Heaven (459 reviews), Klickitat Canyon Winery (318 reviews), and Milk A Sheep Camp at Tin Willows (252 reviews) draw regulars for their quirky hosts and easy parking. Expect basics like toilets, trash bins, and fire rings at most sites. Bring your bike or saddle up for horseback riding—Mitchell’s backcountry trails are made for both. History buffs can tack on a visit to nearby fossil beds and ghost towns. Pack layers; evenings cool down fast, even in summer.

We are located in the heart of Antelope, a rural (near) Ghost town that is rich in history and culture. This particular property is currently being cleaned up and revitalized. We would like to open it up to dry camping, some cabins, and RV Spaces with partial hookups at this time as we are already seeing a huge influx of cyclists and motorcycles in the area and they have no place to camp. There is a bathhouse onsite as part of the Pavilion structure. Please do not park on grass, unless you are an RV Space with partial hookups that has made arrangements with park host. Thank you for visiting and having patience while we continue to fix up the property.

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.
