Year-round outdoor appreciation can be had at Emigrant Springs campground (including a cabin option!
). High in the Blue Mountains where the Old Oregon Trail brought pioneers across from California, Emigrant Springs State Heritage Area offers 18 full hook-up sites with sewer, electricity and water, 32 tent sites with water nearby, picnic tables, fire rings, flush toilets, hot showers, a 7-site horse camp, 6 rustic log cabins, 1 duplex cabin and a group tent area.
Emigrant Springs is a very nice campground with one exception - road noise. It is right next to I-84. The tent only and cabin areas are a bit quieter but if you stay in the first loop, it’s loud. But, I’m noise sensitive so it may have bothered me more than it would someone else.
The park itself is beautiful. There are trails to walk, the campsites aren’t right on top of each other. There is excellent cell coverage. The bathrooms and showers were super clean and the showers are roomy and have an amazing amount of water pressure.
Other than the road noise, I really enjoyed my stay there.
