Weekend Trip to Pondosa, Oregon. Old mill town.

This was a sweet spot next to a wetland. The bird songs made for great background music.

Weekend Trip to Pondosa, Oregon. Old mill town.

Wish the store would be open when I arrived, but it was closed!

1 night at Pondosa, Oregon. Old mill town.

Unique and delightful, Pondosa is small and unpretentious, perfect for a casual relaxing stay. It IS Pondosa. We searched by “Pondosa, Or” and maps took us right to it. Fun to say you’ve been to the geographic center of US, too. We stayed one night on our way to Boise, then Yellowstone. It fit nicely into our agenda.

1 night at Pondosa, Oregon. Old mill town.

This was a fantastic stop. I would have missed this beautiful road to go the back way. The spots were large enough and the access was easy. My dog had plenty to smell and the birds sang during our coffee. This place is for solitude and off the busy road.

1 night at Pondosa, Oregon. Old mill town.

Beautiful spot and easy to get too. Lori was extremely kind and her property is well kept with lots of wild life. Only about 40 minutes to Baker City as well and 30 from the hot springs!

Weekend Trip to Pondosa, Oregon. Old mill town.

Would recommend! Me and three of my friends slept in two tents on the property. The weather was rainy so we set up under trees for some extra coverage. Lori and her dog were so nice!! She showed us around, supplied fire wood, and we realized the one smores thing we forgot was graham crackers and she literally gave us some out of her personal pantry! The birds (magpies & red winged black bird especially) and ducks around were top tier to watch in the morning & spotting some owls after night fall following their hoots. In the morning when the weather cleared up we used the swing and see-saw for some giggles and to get stoked for our day of adventures!

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.

RV camping with full hookups near Unity guide

Overview

Fewer than 50 people live in miniscule Unity, and while this 0.64-square-mile "city" is probably not somewhere you'll be headed for your final destination, it does provide an oasis of amenities in the otherwise barren Baker County. Here you'll find a post office, a small market for picking up supplies, and even a country tavern—The Water Hole—where you can get your fix of greasy bar food and cold beer. Next to the bar, the now-defunct Unity Ranger Station is worth checking out, even just to look at its 1930s-era fire lookout tower.

Where to go

Malheur National Forest

Spread out over 1.7 million acres in Oregon's Blue Mountains, this remote forest offers ample opportunities for hiking, fishing, and camping. Popular attractions include the Cedar Grove Botanical Area, which features an isolated stand of Alaska yellow cedar trees.

Wallowa Whitman National Forest

Stretching out over a 2.4 million-acre expanse, this gargantuan national forest encompasses much of northeastern Oregon's wilderness. Landscapes here range from alpine forests to high deserts, and the remote Eagle Cap Wilderness is within the forest's borders.

Along the Snake River

Unity offers easy access to the Snake River on the Oregon-Idaho border, and the Hells Canyon stretch of the river is particularly worth visiting if you're a fan of epic views. At 7,993 feet deep at its lowest point, it's actually deeper than the Grand Canyon.

When to go

The best time to visit this part of Oregon is between late spring and early autumn, when temperatures are warm and dry, though do be aware that it can get pretty hot in the summers and 100-degree days aren't uncommon. Winters, conversely, can be cold and snowy, so make sure you have four-wheel-drive, snowshoes, and cold weather-rated camping gear if you plan to head out to this area in the colder months.
