Pondosa, Oregon. Old mill town.

4 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres ¡ Baker City, OR
Learn more about this land:Campsites are gravel parking with park-like lawn, well kept, and surrounded by a small picnicking area with extra parking, porta potty, garbage receptical, BBQs, tables and chairs on sprawling grassy lawns shaded with 100 year old large trees. Perfect for a large group. We have a big tree swing and an adult size teeter totter for you to enjoy. There is a horseshoe area. The camping sites are back in only, so if you have trouble backing in, I am happy to help. Each spot has a fire pit with first firewood supplied, (additional be purchased) and a picnic table. 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.

Glamp at the Evans Farm

3 sites ¡ Lodging, Tents30 acres ¡ Joseph, OR
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.

Rustic Pine Outdoor Weddings & More

11 sites ¡ RVs, Tents10 acres ¡ Medical Springs, OR
First, a clarification: We are NOT in North Powder. We're working to get this corrected. And mean no offense to North Powder :) Rustic Pines is close to Medical Springs, Oregon. We're a streamside secluded, 10-acre blend of creek-side aspen, pine, and open meadow. Our priority is to maintain & caretake this natural, northwest oasis. Visitors include private groups; friends, families, self-contained RV groups, eco camp groups, birders, & huckleberry gatherers. Folks in need of a secluded-but-convenient fresh air break often visit with their hammocks, and wander out 1.5 miles of mowed walking paths. Events have included outdoor weddings, reunions (class, family, frat/sorority, etc.), private musical performances, and birthday parties, birder gatherings. Various have been spotted on our grounds, and many more in nearby marshlands, as well as the Eagle Cap Wilderness area & Wallowa Whitman National Forest. We are not a general admission site. As a natural destination where memories have been made, Rustic Pines is exclusive to private parties. Weddings under the stars, reunions, private parties & amp; RV and eco camp groups have found our space ideal. Groups both large and small are welcome. Our goal is to provide a special experience in a unique venue; set aside for you and your people. Tucked in the foothills of Northeast Oregon’s Wallowa Mountains, we're 20 miles from I-84, and nearly a mile from sight and sound of rural highway 203 (Grand Tour Scenic Byway). Less than a 10 miles from the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area (Oregon's largest wilderness area). * Important to Note - Our 2023 season begins the last weekend of June (some years the towering Eagle Cap peaks share their storms into June). - We're an off-grid destination. - As such, no hookups are provided - We provide bathrooms :) - Generators may be rented (our main building is wired for lighting, music, etc. This can be extended to the outdoor Aspen Chapel and other areas) The 3/4 mile private lane leading to our grounds is easily drive-able. Being natural means we have a few potholes. But they are shallow, and the turns are wide (class four RV's often set up in our main meadow). In addition to natural space, a 30'x60' open-sided pavilion is wired for generator power. We've hosted self-contained RV groups, campers, reunions, and musical performances. Our aspen grove chapel has been the site of outdoor weddings. Once again, we host private groups, exclusively. And once your party checks in, the gate is closed to anyone else. We enjoy providing a special experience for you and your people. At Rustic Pines, you’ll never park next to a stranger. A conversation between a group representative/ lead member is highly beneficial. We're glad to provide more detail and answer questions by phone. We look forward to hosting your group at Rustic Pines. (which is not in North Powder :)

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.

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."

The best camping near Catherine Creek State Park guide

Overview

About

With the Wallowa Mountains rising in the background, this tree-lined canyon is a respite in the High Desert. Bring your fishing gear, because you don't want to miss the rainbow trout. They'll tease you with their silvery fins. Your fly-fishing must be at the top of its game.

Work off your picnic lunch with the Horseshoe pits or a 3-mile nature trail. Then take a nap under the towering pines.

Campgrounds in the park offer you a perfect home base for exploring the area. Nearby Hells Canyon is the deepest gorge in North America. A few pioneer graveyards remind you of how difficult it was to settle these lands 150 years ago.

The Oregon Trail Interpretive Center near Baker Cityexplains the area's human history. Anglers definitely need to check out Eagle Creek for more great fishing.

You can pick from one of 20 rustic campsites with water nearby. The parking lot can accommodate self-contained RVs.

Nearby attractions

Unleash your adventurous spirit while camping in the Alvord Desert, a unique haven offering a stark, yet stunning, landscape. This vast, flat desert is a playground for camping, stargazing, and even land sailing.
