1 night at Karibu Cabin
Nathan’s hunting cabin is absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a super secluded, extremely private, unplugged getaway. Nestled in the trees, on the most beautiful land, it’s just you and nature and all the stars you could ever hope for. The views are spectacular and the vibes are tranquil and serene. Nathan was easy to communicate with when our gps took us on a wrong turn and extremely helpful with getting us back on the right track. The cabin has propane lanterns for lighting but I suggest bringing some safe-burning candles and enjoying a romantic night in nature. We will definitely be back!

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!

Beautiful spot and the host is communicative and kind. We were only there for a night as we passed through, but would love to stay longer some time.

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.

This was an amazing property. Big area, lots of trees. Space for an RV, but not at all the locations, mainly just one but an RV can honestly park anywhere it wants, just might not have a picnic table readily available but the hosts will get you one. There's a cool outhouse and hand wash station. The best part is its only 30 minutes from John Day Fossil Painted Hills. There's a cool bar and pizza food truck about 3 miles away and the town of Spray has the basic necessities. The hosts let you use their water hose that's at the edge of their house property on the fence next to the road so you can top off your RV when you get there and refill canisters if you run out. Overall great site, low frills, primitive location.

I had a very nice stay here. Host was very cool and nice. Really enjoyed the company of the dogs. It was cloudy the night I stayed, but I bet the view of the stars would be amazing here. Recommended.

Basic site but it was well kept and serene surroundings. Nothing to do so more a place to land for the evening . I suggest getting there before dark bc it might be difficult to find plus you'd miss the sunset which is wonderful. You can hear hwy 84 but it's background. The wind through the corn was what we heard most through the night

View of the forest was very pretty. The sound of elk in the evening and morning was very peaceful. Lower site was closer to the cabins than what I was hoping for but still felt somewhat private. Never used the pit toilet but looked at it and it was one of the nicest ive ever seen. Cell phone coverage was disappointing but only because I was hoping there was none (wife enjoyed the service), Tmobile 5G 3-4 bars.

We loved this campsite! We backed our truck with the pop up tent toward the trees and woke up to beautiful pine trees and complete silence. We’ll definitely be back if we find ourselves driving through again.

This is the secluded and private spot that I look for in Hipcamp. Three or so miles down dirt road and no view of others. Be cautious on directions. Apple Maps took me to a 5 mile dead end. Mark will set you on course. Enjoy the privacy.

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.

I wasn't sure what to expect, as it was my first time using Hipcamp. It was hot, but the shade came as they have large trees on the Westside of the property. The owners were friendly. All in all a very good experience. I would go back again.

We stayed at peepler campsite in our 24’ trailer and it worked out great for us. It was quiet. The road noise in the far distance sounded a bit like the ocean so it actually added to the atmosphere. We sat outside in the evenings in a sea of hay, and enjoyed the stars! Thanks for sharing your place Russell!

Gina is amazing and so accommodating. This place is quiet and relaxing. Definitely a much better option than staying in the hustle and bustle of Pendleton. We will make sure we come back here and enjoy some of the other events they do throughout the year. You will not be disappointed staying here.

Absolutely amazing! Clean bathrooms, potable water, river walk and farm animals. Very peaceful and quiet. I didn't notice the occasion train and slept peacefully through the night. I loved site 13 as we had a view of the vineyard. Support the towns restaurants. Excellent service at both! We would definitely stay again when visiting the area. Hosts very responsive. I wish them great success in this quirky town.

I’ve loved to camp in High Roads Cabin. The camping spot was very comfortable, clean bathroom and I loved the fact that it was literally surrounded by the forest.

Overview
About
The Ukiah-Dale Forest Scenic Corridor shadows the radiant currents of the John Day River and Camas Creek, taking you through a maze of Douglas fir and Western larch towards ideal fishing, wandering, picnicking and kayaking, not to mention the potent feeling of strength that hovers around stately old-growth pines. In autumn, Western larch turns to gold. In spring, wildflowers knit the green with indigo and orange. In winter, snow makes the water shine like diamonds and in the summer it’s velvety warm and verdant. Trout, steelhead and salmon will tempt anglers, the nearby national forest will draw hikers, and the Bridge Creek Elk Wildlife Area will attract big game hunters.
Notable campgrounds
- Settle into the embrace of towering pines at one of the 27 primitive sites, complete with nearby water access.
- Enjoy the convenience of paved parking at each site, accommodating self-contained RVs for a comfortable stay.
- Experience the rustic charm of the campground's restrooms with flush toilets, enhancing your outdoor adventure.
