The sites were as advertised. It's pretty minimal as far as amenities, just 2 porta-potties. But the sites are flat, clean and large. It's literally steps from the town, which was great for the bike race I was attending. The active train line is very close to the town as well (as advertised), so do bring earplugs.

This was our first time using Hipcamp and it turned out to be a great experience.
Jesse and I stayed at the Boulder site while we were in town preparing for the Echo Red to Red pre-ride in Echo, Oregon. The location couldn’t have been better—just a few blocks from the start and finish area, which made the whole weekend really easy.
The site itself is spacious and worked great for our camper van. Everything was clean, easy to access, and very straightforward when we arrived. The porta potty was close by, which we appreciated, and we loved being able to walk down to the Umatilla River—it’s beautiful. You can hear the train occasionally, but it didn’t bother us at all.
Gina was incredibly helpful and communicative leading up to and during our stay. She even allowed us to stay a little later so my husband could finish preparing for his pre-ride, which we really appreciated. Hunter also stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed.
We ended up staying a second night because the experience was so good. Highly recommend this spot, especially if you’re in town for the race weekend or traveling with a camper van.
Also don’t miss the local diner downtown—Butch was incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. We’ll definitely be back.

This was a perfect spot to stop and stay the night on my travels! The location is merely 10ish min off the main highway, which made it so convenient so stop and sleep for the night in a safe, private area that felt comfortable for my dog and I. Will def be my new go-to halfway stop. Thanks Kara!!!

Great experience we came in the last minute in the evening. It was starting to rain and the owners moved the porta-potty, which comes with a wash station closer to our site.
In the evening and overnight, the train came through a few times that it was more nostalgic, then disruptive.
We definitely stay here again!

Nice spot. Super helpful camp host provided firewood, which we were too tired to use.
Spot was quiet. Restrooms were very clean.
We were there on a Monday, so most of town was closed. But very short walk to what looked like some nice restaurants.

We loved our tent camping experience here — the photos don’t do it justice! The site felt very private, and the trees around our campsite provided great shade while we were sleeping, cooking, and even sheltering from some light rain. The campsite is well equipped with everything you could need: bathrooms, shower, picnic table and a fire pit. We especially enjoyed the abundance of birds along the river — their songs and the sounds of wildlife at night were so calming. We’re very grateful for this experience. Thank you, Roger!

This was a solid place to stay for the night. Safe and generally quiet and the camp host was friendly and helped us find our spot - thank you! It's more of a campground than a typical HipCamp and note that the "grassy field" is a bit of a stretch (mostly dirt), but overall I'd stay here again.
