A lovely, safe place to camp. Even in October the lavender scent and the pumpkin field gives the place a unique feel. Tom and Louise made us feel very much at home. And the bathrooms! Tiled walk-in showers. Camp because of the lavender and lush grass. Stay for the bathrooms. lol. We will definitely come back.

Arrived right at dusk and was warmly greeted and shown where to set up camp. I really enjoyed the farm setting and amenities. Wish I could’ve stayed longer to explore the property, but will hopefully make it back soon :)

Great spot, great host!
We were only there for a night unfortunately, but I’d love to stay longer sometime.
Also, the deer are friendlier than you might expect, so go live your Snow White dreams!

I loved the place, lots of history & antiques (I’m a sucker for that!). Also was pleasantly surprised that it is, geographically, the center of the US!

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.

Overview
About
Makes a pleasant stop here on the way to other destinations. Check out the Grande Ronde river at the park. Look for fish or wade in the water for a quick cool-down on a hot day. Kick back and relax with your pets in primitive style at this park full of nose-pleasing ponderosa pines.
Twenty spots by the highway provide enough spaces for lovers of simple camping. The park includes ten walk-in tent sites and ten sites for self-contained rigs like RVs and camper vans. Bring everything you need for a successful camp, and be ready to pack it out, to help keep this place pristine.
Need refreshments or just get someone else to do the cooking? Enjoy nearby services in La Grande, including shopping and restaurants. Bring back some marshmallows for roasting over a campfire.
Firewood is available for sale. There are also flush toilets for when the need arises. During the day, play a game of horseshoes in the park's pits. Use the park as a jump off for long hikes or hunting for mushrooms.
