The best river, stream, or creek camping near North Powder

·

In North Powder, camping riverside means waking up to the rush of cold water and views of the Elkhorns. You’ll find campsites all along the banks—some perched above the river, others with easy trails down to the water’s edge. With over 740 river spots in this area, you can snag a site for as low as $33 a night, though most fall around $107. Want a real feel for the place? Check out Almosta Farm (80 reviews), Glamp at the Evans Farm (29 reviews), or Fluit Farms (5 reviews). Most sites offer showers, toilets, and welcome pets, so you won’t have to rough it. Anglers hit the river early, while snow sports fans and wildlife-watchers use these camps as a base for their adventures. Pack layers—the mornings bite, but the midday sun can catch you off guard.

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.

Hilgard Junction State Park

Beneath the towering ponderosa pine and cottonwood of Northeastern Oregon sits this little slice of heaven. The Grande Ronde River flows through the park, so grab an inner tube and float on down--without getting tangled in the overhanging weeping willows. Or grab your fishing pole and see if you can reel in some dinner. Try to spot beaver, mink, deer, and a bustle of birds on the river bank. History buffs, rejoice: at the nearby Blue Mountain Crossing Interpretive Park you can actually see the ruts made by wagons rolling through the Oregon Trail in this area. Ideally situated right off of Interstate 84, the park serves as a great homebase for exploring the miles of scenic roads that wind through the region. And forget noisy crowds; with only 18 primitive campsites, this is the perfect place to hide away for the weekend.
