Didn't know you could milk a sheep? Or thought only cows made cheese? Try your hand milking sheep or feeding lambs or learning about beavers on this seasonal working ranch here in Eastern Oregon. Lambs are born in the spring and their moms are milked all summer long.
I raise my sheep on fresh grass and sunshine. Come see for yourself here on the ranch.
Pitch a tent on the pasture and literally count the sheep around you before falling asleep or climb the hill and see for miles in every direction. We may be close to the road, but it doesn't feel like it.
We can accommodate campers, RVs, trucks, tents, and vans. 4 sites to chose from.
Each site has access to an outhouse, potable water, picnic tables, trash disposal, and we allow campfires (outside of burn bans), and pets.
We also sell fresh eggs, firewood, and lamb sausage.
Our guests love staying with us: "There’s fireside fun in fresh country air, rolling hills around the farm to walk along to enjoy the wide expansive view, and sights and sounds of animals around camp to make for a relaxing day. There’s kittens, dairy sheep, gigantic but friendly herd dogs, and a variety of guinea hens and ducks. Terry is super kind and friendly. Try the sheep’s milk ice cream- what a treat!"

This campsite is a pull thru road that has a sun and wind block overlooking local farm fields. Please note that SELF-CONTAINED vehicles are required for this site, as this is a dry camp with no water access or restrooms. Camp is two miles from freeway exit yet a mile from any home other than the working homestead that was started in 1890 with huge barn built in 1906 next door. (Please do not bother the renters who live there.) This is a great place to rest for the night or a week. - simple, safe, and private out of the way. From I-84 you will take exit 198 for Lorenzen/McClintock Rd. Turn onto Lorenzen, which is a gravel road. Drive one mile until you get to an intersection next to a grain bin. Turn left onto Peebler (west) and drive for almost one mile. As you near the two openings for the site, you will see the sun shelter directly on your left. You want to turn at the 2nd opening, by the sign that says IN (with green Peebler Lane sign above it.) You can pull up right next to the shelter and set up your space however you like. That way, when you leave you will pass by the EXIT sign and be headed back towards the interstate like you came.
This site is 12 miles west from the world-famous Pendleton Round-Up. 8 miles east of Echo Ridge Winery, Sno Road Winery, Echo historical museum, and Echo Golf Course. Simple dining can be found in Echo at H and P cafe and in nearby Stanfield at Broken Barrel Restaurant/Bar with great burgers.

Birds chirp, deer graze, and squirrels gather food throughout the day. Sit on the porch and watch it all happen—it truly is relaxing!
I want to mention that the stargazing here is amazing! Simply press the power button on the back of the solar panel to turn off the lights for a better view of the night sky. Please turn them back on when you're finished, if you remember.

Nice and quiet. Lovely setting. Directions are a bit confusing though- it would have been helpful to know that we turn left right before the first Deer Creek sign (there isn’t really a road - just drive diagonally across the beautiful front lawn towards the next Deer Creek sign. Then, down the hill towards the creek and final sign. We parked perpendicular to the creek.

Great tiny cabin with a cozy, comfortable bed. We really liked how open air it was with the hinged window/wall open during the day, but it also felt well-enclosed at night. The campground as a whole had lots of amenities provided, like soap and dishtowels at the shared sink, and paper towels, lanterns and bug spray in the cabin. I also appreciated that the grounds were well lit. One negative was that the flap over the window was blowing in the window overnight and was pretty noisy, but it was quite windy, so I'm not sure if it's usually a problem. We really liked it and would stay there again, hopefully for longer.

This is an excellent place to spend a night or longer. We booked it as we were driving through on our way home. Directions are great and the location was excellent.
What went well? The answer is everything. The ease of parking, the patio table and the full hookups. The best part was the wild life. There were nesting kill deer birds and they were great to watch.

Maybe the author of this campground description could do his/her homework? Such as: no such thing as steelhead salmon. They are either steelhead or salmon. And the John Day has both, along with Brook and Bull trout (although Brook trout are not trout at all, they are actually a char). This kind of attention to detail would be more helpful and interesting. As it is, I tend to doubt the accuracy of this campground description. I know, picky picky. But hey, it’s your business, so why not get it right?

I live pretty close to our beautiful Jubilee Lake in the mountains. This is absolutely beautiful country and the campground is Awesome! I am looking to camp there this summer myself!

Haven't been to Olive Lake in years, but have many fond childhood, adolescent and young adult memories at this lake. It's a little ways up (elevation-wise, that is), so the air is a little thinner. Prepare for this and give yourself a day or two before you start exploring too far from camp. There is a great several-mile hike to the "upper lake" (not sure if it has a name, that's just what we always called it; and, it's not nearly as much of a lake as it once was--more like a high mountain wetlands with a brook trout filled stream meandering through it. Pursuing crayfish can be very lucrative, as can the Kokanee fishing. Over the Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day weekends, Sumpter offers a HUGE flea market about 45 mins away.
