Wheeler County Fairgrounds RV Park

Freshly mowed, quiet, clean sites. Everything in working order. We did have to call to get the bathroom codes but they got back to us quickly even though it was after hours.

Booked an RV site and a tent site as the map shows the tent site directly adjacent to the end of the RV site . When I arrived there are no tent sites , just a fence and a steep slope leading down into the fairgrounds field , no sign of the advertised picnic table and definitely no Wi-fi as advertised . Contacted the Wheeler County RV park about this by email on 6/23/25 and was told my concerns would be forwarded to the respondent’s supervisor. It is now 7/03/25 and after a follow up email from me last week , I have heard nothing back . My first two emails were nothing but polite , but I no longer feel polite . I would not recommend this place to anyone wanting a tent site , since they don’t exist but they will take your money .Highly dissatisfied and more than a little peeved at being rooked out of my money and then blown off.It wasn’t a fortune , just the idea of charging for something that doesn’t exist is less than acceptable . Two photos of the map showing the supposed tent site , the photo with the fence and tree is what is actually at the end of the RV site .

Several issues 1st was very disappointed that on a long Memorial Day weekend. The grass was not trimmed or cut, picnic tables were not at each site, and the bathrooms had not been cleaned for a while. In the men's bathroom, there was a urinal, and underneath the urinal was a bucket, and it had urine in it. There was a new urinal laying on the floor that had not yet been installed. Again, this is Memorial Day weekend.. It's totally unacceptable.

Additionally, many I of the campers expected to go to their sites only to find out the county overbooked their sites. I have a reservation for site 5 only to find out it had been booked for 3 months

Many sites, mines included site 1, did not have 120V but did have a 30amp connection. Site te 2 did not have running water as well as others.

The county should be ashamed of itself and Needs to do better. There is no excuse for a small town or large to treat their visitors to this type of hospitality.

I'm leaving a 5 star review. It should be a 4 star at best. There was electrical issues and water issues but they fixed them. I leaving the 5 stars because of the scenery. This place could be really nice if they put a little work into it. Promoted it and such. They don't answer the main line you have to call the emergency line.

Clean sites. Full RV hookups. Pull-through sites. Water service is heated for winter use. Quiet. Gorgeous views. The town is great. My kids and I found fossils within two minutes at the local high school dig site. Fun hike right next to the RV site, the trail starts at the site. Easy, beautiful drive to other John Day Fossil Beds sites. Fun playground at the school.
