Boggan's Oasis is in the SE corner of Washington state, right on the breathtaking Grande Ronde River. Visitors can arrive by driving to the bottom of Rattlesnake Grade (WA-129), or the bottom of Buford Grade (OR-3). These two curvacious roads are extremely popular rides for motorcyclists and bicyclists nationally. Visitors may also arrive by water (rafts, driftboats, jetboats, kayaks, etc) coming downriver from Oregon, or upriver from the Snake River (WA/ID). Many other unpaved roads will lead guests to our canyon, which creates great opportunities for off-road vehicle adventures!
The Grande Ronde River, which drains much of northeast Oregon's Union and Wallowa counties, is fed by snowpack in the Elkhorn Mountains. The Wallowa River, a major tributary to the Grande Ronde, headwaters in the Wallowa Mountains, mostly within the Eagle Cap Wilderness. Twenty-two miles from Boggan's Oasis, the Grande Ronde River flows into the mighty Snake River. The river is surrounded by steep, rugged canyon walls that rise 3000 to 4000 feet above the river level. Dense conifer forests blend into grassy slopes set off by scattered conifer "stringers." Called "The Land of Winding Waters" by Native Americans, the river is home to rainbow trout, dolly varden, whitefish, squawfish, suckers, bass, and steelhead. Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, bighorn sheep, bear, bald eagles, and a variety of smaller animals and birds can be seen daily. And yes, there are rattlesnakes!
Fishing, hunting, hiking, all kinds of boating/floating, offroad vehicle riding, and animal/bird watching are beyond expectations in this area. Seasonally, guests can also successfully gather a variety of mushrooms and berries while on one of the many nearby hiking trails. Many of these short walks also lead to incredible, far-reaching views of the Blue Mountains, Wenaha wildlife sanctuary, Hells Canyon, and the tri-state area. In the hotter summer months, the swimming hole below the Boggan's Bridge is a popular way to cool off.
Boggan's Oasis also offers fishing trips, float trips, shuttles, and a FULL restaurant! Check our website for more info.

64km from Minam State Recreation Area · 4 units · Tents, Motorhomes
The McGovern Residence is a magical little world we've created at the base of the Blue Mountains. We're about an hour South of Palouse Falls, an hour East of Walla Walla wine country, and about an hour West of Lewiston/Clarkston. The property consists of 28 acres on the Tucannon River with mature Ponderosa Pines, wildflowers, curated gardens, hiking trails, incredible valley views, and direct access to 1.4 million acres of public land. Multiple stocked lakes are accessible for fishing just a few miles up the road.
Close to the river, The Flat can accommodate up to 2 tents and 4 people. The main campsite includes a hammock, picnic table, fire ring with benches, and parking for up to 2 cars. Immediately off the parking area is a secondary site with another picnic table and fire ring for those camping directly out of their vehicle. Campers have a faucet for fresh potable water and an outhouse for 24/7 bathroom needs. A short path from either campsite leads to a small river clearing for cooling off and lazy afternoons by the water. The Flat is the only site that we offer and we keep the group size low to ensure a peaceful and relaxing experience for everyone. We allow tents, cars, and smaller camper vans, but unfortunately cannot accommodate trailers or RV's.
The main property is a pocket of green with mature cottonwood, ponderosa pines, choke cherry and elder scrub. Our property borders the Wooten Wildlife area which leads into the Umatilla National Forest - so that's 1.4 million acres of public lands directly to our South. Just down the road are
some really great hiking trails and access points to the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, or if you prefer to stay close, our property gains 1000' from river to property line. An afternoon trek to the top is challenging but provides a spectacular panoramic view of the Tucannon River valley. Pack some beer and some snacks and hang out for a wicked sunset. We're working hard on our hiking trail - currently it's 3/4 mile (1.5 mile round trip), and growing in length by the week.
During your stay you'll probably see some wild turkey, quail, and some white tailed or mule deer. The area is known to have cougars (we run into them occasionally) bighorn sheep, rattlesnake, black bears, bobcats, and even the occasional moose! There's no shortage of wildlife in the area, and we enjoy when they visit us. Be on the lookout at dusk for the nightly bat show! We also have a flock of chickens that free-range during the day, so don't be surprised to get a visitor or two poking around for scraps.
Our property is rural, but not isolated. Depending on where you stake your tent you might see some neighbors, but we can direct you to the right spot
if you want to avoid it.
The towns of Dayton and Pomeroy are both about 20 minutes away. Both have their own charm and offer a grocery store, a couple bars, gas, and supplies. There's an RV park and general store about a mile up the road if you need some quick essentials or a few gallons of gas.
At the center of the property is a log cabin we're slowly renovating. We live here full time so when we're home we're out and about working on projects
or clearing brush. You'll see us wandering, so interact with us as much as you want or just do your thing.
This is our home and we like to host, but it's not necessary. On that note, this is not a 'campground'. We have a beautiful property with a campsite and like to share it! We hope you enjoy yourself while also respecting our home :)

Nestled near many of Walla Walla’s most renowned wineries with a tasting room a short 600 ft stroll away, this serene retreat offers a perfect blend of nature and convenience. Expand your wine-tasting adventure with several other acclaimed wineries located within a 10-mile radius.
Located 350 feet from a county road, this peaceful space is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Walla Walla Valley, offering extraordinary views. The farm is "odor-free," featuring only field crops and no livestock, ensuring a clean and tranquil environment. Walk the farm trail along the creek to Whitman Memorial and Museum.
The site provides easy access to a spacious 20 x 50 ft parking area, perfectly situated between a charming antique barn and a farm shop, out of sight from the main house. It accommodates RVs or self-contained trailers of any size or length, with ample room for towed cars or trailers to park and maneuver.
Site is next to a private 18 x 35 ft patio with a picnic table and a propane-powered fire pit, ideal for relaxing and soaking in stunning views of the fields, nearby creek, and the Blue Mountains. Guests can also take leisurely walks along the farm fields, vineyard, or railroad tracks (provided no active farming operations are underway, which isn't very often).
WINTER NOTE: water line is off during freezing temps.
Adding to the charm of this property is a friendly large dog named Oso, who roams the land to ensure its security from wildlife (deer, coyotes, etc). I can keep Oso in my yard during the day (please see the pet policy and wildlife guidelines for more details). Once he checks you out, you’ll be his new best friend.
This peaceful retreat offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and flavors of Walla Walla wine country while enjoying unparalleled tranquility. Note: this is a working farm, and it’s impossible to schedule farming activities. A few times per year there will be tractor or harvesting work during the day – enjoy the hustle and bustle of how food is grown and harvested!

Camping with Rizzy the Camel and friends allows guests to experience a unique stay on a private hobby ranch. Wake up and interact with Rizzy the Camel (yes a real dromedary camel), horses, miniature donkeys, Nigerian dwarf goats, Kune Kune pigs, emu’s, peacocks, llama, a variety of birds and a couple of long horn cows. Offering a very peaceful property to reconnect with nature or just relax and catch the sunrise of sunsets.
Located 17 miles from downtown Walla Walla, we are a central location to enjoy other activities in our area. Explore the “wine scene” of the award winning wine producers of this region, and enjoy the nationally recognized and diversified culinary tastes that are available. From theaters and museums to biking, hiking, golf, concerts and spa time, Walla Walla offers a little bit of everything wonderful.
The Blue Mountains are just east of us, making it a prime destination for winter sports such as snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and more. We’re only 40 miles for an exciting day of skiing at Bluewood Ski Resort, or a beautiful drive through the mountains any time of the year.
Palouse Falls State Park is a great 34 mile drive past the Snake River. The Palouse River runs through a seemingly invisible gorge to reveal the 178 foot Palouse Falls. From there, the water current moves swiftly through a winding gorge of columnar basalt, to its southern end at the Snake River.
We’re also about 26 miles from the Snake River, and 36 miles to Columbia River if the water is where you would enjoy your day.
If getting away from the fast pace of life and being surrounded by God’s beautiful views in the country but still close enough to desired amenities then Camping with Rizzy the Camel and friends is your place.

In general it is my policy to not review people who are relaxed and camping. I do appreciate your private suggestions and continued good public reviews! I strive hard to be a TRULY hospitable and peaceful getaway! I feel grateful every day to be living in such a pretty place. Walla Walla, Washington... who knew?! It is a joy to share it. Hipcamp has been a wonderful adventure. Thank you so much!
Owners request that you don't throw anything for the friendly working border collies, if you see one. The farm is 7 miles from downtown Walla Walla. 4 miles to Walmart super center.

The McGovern Residence is a magical little world we've created at the base of the Blue Mountains. We're about an hour South of Palouse Falls, an hour East of Walla Walla wine country, and about an hour West of Lewiston/Clarkston. The property consists of 28 acres on the Tucannon River with mature Ponderosa Pines, wildflowers, curated gardens, hiking trails, incredible valley views, and direct access to 1.4 million acres of public land. Multiple stocked lakes are accessible for fishing just a few miles up the road.
Close to the river, The Flat can accommodate up to 2 tents and 4 people. The main campsite includes a hammock, picnic table, fire ring with benches, and parking for up to 2 cars. Immediately off the parking area is a secondary site with another picnic table and fire ring for those camping directly out of their vehicle. Campers have a faucet for fresh potable water and an outhouse for 24/7 bathroom needs. A short path from either campsite leads to a small river clearing for cooling off and lazy afternoons by the water. The Flat is the only site that we offer and we keep the group size low to ensure a peaceful and relaxing experience for everyone. We allow tents, cars, and smaller camper vans, but unfortunately cannot accommodate trailers or RV's.
The main property is a pocket of green with mature cottonwood, ponderosa pines, choke cherry and elder scrub. Our property borders the Wooten Wildlife area which leads into the Umatilla National Forest - so that's 1.4 million acres of public lands directly to our South. Just down the road are
some really great hiking trails and access points to the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, or if you prefer to stay close, our property gains 1000' from river to property line. An afternoon trek to the top is challenging but provides a spectacular panoramic view of the Tucannon River valley. Pack some beer and some snacks and hang out for a wicked sunset. We're working hard on our hiking trail - currently it's 3/4 mile (1.5 mile round trip), and growing in length by the week.
During your stay you'll probably see some wild turkey, quail, and some white tailed or mule deer. The area is known to have cougars (we run into them occasionally) bighorn sheep, rattlesnake, black bears, bobcats, and even the occasional moose! There's no shortage of wildlife in the area, and we enjoy when they visit us. Be on the lookout at dusk for the nightly bat show! We also have a flock of chickens that free-range during the day, so don't be surprised to get a visitor or two poking around for scraps.
Our property is rural, but not isolated. Depending on where you stake your tent you might see some neighbors, but we can direct you to the right spot
if you want to avoid it.
The towns of Dayton and Pomeroy are both about 20 minutes away. Both have their own charm and offer a grocery store, a couple bars, gas, and supplies. There's an RV park and general store about a mile up the road if you need some quick essentials or a few gallons of gas.
At the center of the property is a log cabin we're slowly renovating. We live here full time so when we're home we're out and about working on projects
or clearing brush. You'll see us wandering, so interact with us as much as you want or just do your thing.
This is our home and we like to host, but it's not necessary. On that note, this is not a 'campground'. We have a beautiful property with a campsite and like to share it! We hope you enjoy yourself while also respecting our home :)

Nestled near many of Walla Walla’s most renowned wineries with a tasting room a short 600 ft stroll away, this serene retreat offers a perfect blend of nature and convenience. Expand your wine-tasting adventure with several other acclaimed wineries located within a 10-mile radius.
Located 350 feet from a county road, this peaceful space is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Walla Walla Valley, offering extraordinary views. The farm is "odor-free," featuring only field crops and no livestock, ensuring a clean and tranquil environment. Walk the farm trail along the creek to Whitman Memorial and Museum.
The site provides easy access to a spacious 20 x 50 ft parking area, perfectly situated between a charming antique barn and a farm shop, out of sight from the main house. It accommodates RVs or self-contained trailers of any size or length, with ample room for towed cars or trailers to park and maneuver.
Site is next to a private 18 x 35 ft patio with a picnic table and a propane-powered fire pit, ideal for relaxing and soaking in stunning views of the fields, nearby creek, and the Blue Mountains. Guests can also take leisurely walks along the farm fields, vineyard, or railroad tracks (provided no active farming operations are underway, which isn't very often).
WINTER NOTE: water line is off during freezing temps.
Adding to the charm of this property is a friendly large dog named Oso, who roams the land to ensure its security from wildlife (deer, coyotes, etc). I can keep Oso in my yard during the day (please see the pet policy and wildlife guidelines for more details). Once he checks you out, you’ll be his new best friend.
This peaceful retreat offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and flavors of Walla Walla wine country while enjoying unparalleled tranquility. Note: this is a working farm, and it’s impossible to schedule farming activities. A few times per year there will be tractor or harvesting work during the day – enjoy the hustle and bustle of how food is grown and harvested!

Camping with Rizzy the Camel and friends allows guests to experience a unique stay on a private hobby ranch. Wake up and interact with Rizzy the Camel (yes a real dromedary camel), horses, miniature donkeys, Nigerian dwarf goats, Kune Kune pigs, emu’s, peacocks, llama, a variety of birds and a couple of long horn cows. Offering a very peaceful property to reconnect with nature or just relax and catch the sunrise of sunsets.
Located 17 miles from downtown Walla Walla, we are a central location to enjoy other activities in our area. Explore the “wine scene” of the award winning wine producers of this region, and enjoy the nationally recognized and diversified culinary tastes that are available. From theaters and museums to biking, hiking, golf, concerts and spa time, Walla Walla offers a little bit of everything wonderful.
The Blue Mountains are just east of us, making it a prime destination for winter sports such as snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and more. We’re only 40 miles for an exciting day of skiing at Bluewood Ski Resort, or a beautiful drive through the mountains any time of the year.
Palouse Falls State Park is a great 34 mile drive past the Snake River. The Palouse River runs through a seemingly invisible gorge to reveal the 178 foot Palouse Falls. From there, the water current moves swiftly through a winding gorge of columnar basalt, to its southern end at the Snake River.
We’re also about 26 miles from the Snake River, and 36 miles to Columbia River if the water is where you would enjoy your day.
If getting away from the fast pace of life and being surrounded by God’s beautiful views in the country but still close enough to desired amenities then Camping with Rizzy the Camel and friends is your place.

Cabin was great, Clean, Cozy, and inviting. I do wish they provided a better bbq or cookware, but we had a feeling so came prepared. The host was awesome and did everything she could to make sure we were comfortable. It was a really nice stay!
Bogans should carry bait for steelhead as well ;)

Louis and Tia were awesome hosts and the cabin (I was switched to cabin 3) was perfect for what I needed. I was out for a trip to fish the Grande Ronde for fall steelhead. There was plenty of easy access even when towing a trailer/raft to get around to the front of the cabin, as well as "raft parking" where I could leave my rig since it had a trailer. The property is well kept and has a fun vibe. The cabin was cozy and had three beds (two singles and a double). I'd say bring some silverware, cups, kitchenware, etc., if you plan to cook or make coffee. I planned on doing some camp-cooking on the front porch so had those supplies anyways, otherwise the restaurant has everything you'd need.
The restaurant was awesome and the crew there was VERY accommodating even when I rolled in five minutes prior to closing to get a burger. In general the vibe is super chill and the folks are super nice.
Would I recommend this place to others and will I be back? You can bet on it. Thanks for a great weekend Louis and Tia!

Perfect home-base camping spot for wine tasting and bike riding around Walla Walla. This was our second time staying here (had visited before in 2023) and definitely would love to visit again in the future. Nice to be under mature trees while camping, and the property is quiet and beautiful.

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.

Overview
About
If remote, secluded and rugged is your thing, look no further. This park is located in a steep valley where large pine trees dominate the landscape.
The Wallowa River flows right through the primitive campground that offers 22 first-come, first-served sites. It only sounds like nothing's happening here. This Oregon state park is a haven for fisherpeople, kayakers, rafters, and boaters.
Anglers flock to Minam Recreation Area in the spring and fall for some serious steelhead fishing. River floaters find rental rafts at the Minam Store, 2 miles from the campground.
Set off on the 90-mile float down the Wallowa and Grande Ronde Rivers. It's guaranteed to wash all civilized-world cares and plugged-in stressors away.
Sometimes just quietly soaking up Mother Nature's simply profound beauty is enough action and entertainment. The occasional spotting of a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, bear or cougar is plenty stimulating.
Notable campgrounds
- Minam State Recreation Area Campground - A remote, primitive camping experience with river access and scenic trails.
- Minam Station - A convenient year-round boat launch with nearby trails and visitor information.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Plan ahead and reserve early, especially for peak summer months when the park is most popular.
- Visit during off-peak seasons for a better chance at securing a spot without a reservation.
- Keep an eye on the park's website for any updates on campsite availability and potential cancellations.
- Explore nearby camping options to ensure you have a backup plan in case the park is fully booked.
When to go
The best time to visit Minam State Recreation Area is from late May to November, when the weather is favorable and all facilities are fully operational. Winter visits offer solitude but come with the challenge of snow and limited services. Always check current conditions before planning your trip.
Know before you go
- Check for any park notices or advisories before your visit, as conditions can change rapidly.
- Be prepared for primitive camping; the campground offers basic amenities and is closed in winter.
- Remember that fires are only allowed in designated fire pits within the campground.
- Smoking is prohibited throughout the park, except within personal vehicles.
- For a smooth visit, familiarize yourself with the park's rules, including those regarding wildlife and trail use.
