Located two miles from Joseph, three miles from Wallowa Lake, and close to hiking, fishing, camping, and outdoor adventures, the Farm is secluded but offers easy access to the surrounding area.

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?

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.
