The campsite is highly praised for its friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and convenient location near attractions like the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. Many visitors appreciate the peaceful environment and the availability of amenities such as showers, laundry, and a store. While the majority of feedback is positive, some tent campers noted a preference for grassy areas over gravel sites. Overall, it's a well-liked base for those exploring the High Desert.

The Narrows Tent Camping
In the middle of nowhere and nothing special, but it was perfect for crashing for the night on the way back to the airport. Only one other tent camper while we were there so there was plenty of space. Bathrooms were clean and hot showers were a bonus.

I’m really glad that I booked the Narrows for a 3-night stay. Tina was welcoming and friendly, the bathrooms with showers we clean and large and there was everything that you might need. The WiFi wasn’t great, possibly due to the fires but I would definitely stay here again.

The Narrows Tent Camping
Clean and quiet campground that's incredibly close to Malheur. We spotted lots of birds at the campground, including a common nighthawk that slept on the fence just outside our tent! The bathrooms were cleaned and well maintained. Despite booking the site the night before and before the start of a long holiday weekend, we were able to check in with the RV host and get the information we needed.

We definitely enjoyed the small plot of soft ground/grass for our campsite. If you camp in a tent, you’ll be next to a bigger lot for RVs but it wasn’t a bother. Very nice views and very friendly hosts. Food from the restaurant also smelled great!

I loved camping under the willow tree here! The restaurant had a delicious Rueben sandwich and fries that I would definitely recommend. Very clean, quiet, and relaxing.

The Narrows Tent Camping
Beautifully located close to the Steen Mountains and Alvord Desert. Hosts are wonderful and helped sort out my mistake (booked a tent spot but needed an RV). Locals seem to love the restaurant (I will try next time). Love the availability of amenities in case you forgot something. Restrooms were clean and the campground was pretty quiet. Lots of birds around.

The Narrows Tent Camping
Very sweet place to stay on the way to Alvord. Super nice hosts; there is a restaurant and shop on site. Be prepared to wait for food prep but worth it! Gas also on site which was a blessing as there isn’t much else around. My dog enjoyed running around the off leash field adjacent to the campground. Would stay again!

The Narrows Tent Camping
This is a great little RV park with an open grassy area for camping right by the Malhuer Wildlife Refuge. They have a great little General store, Cafe, and Saloon/bar plus gas on site so you can get anything you may need while staying there. The folks that work there were very warm and helpful. They had solid suggestions for what to check out nearby.
Its excellent if you are into birding or stargazing. You're right next to the preserve but just far enough you don't get mosquitoes.

The Narrows Tent Camping
Really enjoyed my stay here. My husband and I tent camped and the grassy area we set up at was very nice. The bathroom access was amazing to have on site and bathrooms were kept very clean. We spent most of the days exploring the area and it was nice to have the saloon to grab a beer and eat some dinner at the end of the day. The food is really good! The hosts are beyond welcoming and we will back when the snow melts on Steens.

Nice RV park with camping spaces. I was in an RV. Very quiet. Nice bathrooms. Good store and restaurant. Very quiet and even quieter at night. Malheur Wildlife Refuge Headquarters are just down the road.

I went back on my way home and got the sane location. I won't repeat my feedback from my initial review but it all still applies.
I'll emphasize just how nice the people at this site are. You feel at-home... and are treated like a real customer... something missing at other locations.
The shop on site is great, too. Everything you need from supplies, gas to great coffee.
This will be a regular stop for future southern trips I take.

The Narrows Tent Camping
Not fancy but nice. We got a spot right on the edge of the property far from the highway. It was well equipped for us with a picnic table, stove stand and firepit. We got firewood, coffee and change from the store (which has a restaurant that i didn't try).
A few things to note: bathrooms are clean but showers are $2 so bring money. $2 for washing and $2 for drying... 2 bucks is a magic number. That said, the washer / dryer were awesome and got jeans clean and dry on a single wash & dry.
A nice stop and one I'll consider on my way back...

Great place! The ground was soft enough that a very thin mat kept me and the kids happy for the night, we heard cows and coyotes, and even saw a helicopter take off in the morning!

The Narrows Tent Camping
This was a great option in a sparse area, with the extra benefits of electricity, laundry, heated bathrooms, and showers. Overall a place to get your bearings and recharge for the next leg of your journey. Surprisingly quiet considering the nearby road and fully occupied RV section of the park.

Great place! We felt really spoiled staying at The Narrows Cabin. It is a beautiful cabin, super well equipped, and has a lovely view. We used the laundry room and the showers (coin-operated, shared). Had an excellent experience, with two little girls (1.5 and 3.5 yo). They even washed our dishes at the restaurant! Unbelievable.

The pictures for this campground suggested a grassy area for tent camping. Google maps also showed two separate tent and RV campgrounds at this location. In reality we were given a narrow, gravelly RV lot located among many other RVs.
Prior to arrival, owners of the campground were communicative and helpful via text. Since we arrived in the evening, it was understandably hard to get a hold of the owners to ask about the discrepancy between the pictures of the campground and our allotted site. When we called the number offered on Google as the business number, the person on the line said they'd planned to put the tent campsites in the grassy lawn but had decided it was too buggy. However the RV lots were also extremely buggy as night fell, so I am not sure the situation would have been worse in the grass.
We would not suggest this campground for tent campers. There is no real area for tent camping as advertised. It was difficult to stake the tent in the gravel / asphalt and unpleasant to be camped in a cramped spot among rumbling RVs.

Reserved a tent space, and was put on a RV pad. I don't pitch our tent in a gravel parking lot.... no thanks

The Narrows Tent Camping
Good flat site on grass and soft soil. Just a stone's throw from the RVs, but human noise was minimal. Access to plumbing was a nice perk, and proximity to Malheur NWR was ideal - got a headstart on the birding with tons of meadowlarks, orioles, and nighthawks at the site itself and a few bonus visitors too. No problems with the reservation, would definitely recommend.
