About Bull Prairie Campground (OR)

Bull Prairie Campground is a local gem; a beautiful, woodsy place to enjoy a vacation, host a family reunion or social event, and to enjoy multiple recreational pursuits. This moderate-sized campground is located adjacent to 28-acre Bull Prairie Lake, which is stocked annually with trout. An accessible, family-friendly paved trail along the lake is ideal for morning jogs, bicycle rides, picnicking, and shore or dockside fishing. The lake has a boat ramp, dock and trailer parking area, but only non-motorized boating is allowed. Nearby trails connect the campground and lake with the Morrow County OHV Park, 8 miles away. Note: ATVs are only allowed at the dump station and in the north part of the campground (sites 25-28).   While this campground offers potable water, there is no garbage service so please pack out all garbage and dispose of it at home. 

Number of accommodations: 28

Just had a great time. Only thing Midas any fish in the lake, but that didn’t dampen the fun of the camp.

Heather & Jody are the BEST! The lake is very special but they went the extra mile and made our experience simply perfect. Couldn’t imagine this place without them. Such a good lake and the grounds are well kept and clean. So well managed! Can’t wait to come back.

Friendly and extremely helpful camp hosts! Well maintained, family-friendly campground; bathrooms clean and well stocked. The path around the like is nice, and the lake and surrounding wetlands attract plenty of bird life. Great site for a break from summer heat!

We stayed at Bull Prairie Lake for 7 nights and were incredibly grateful for the hosts, Jody and Heather, who were kind, helpful, and accommodating. The whole place (especially the bathrooms!) was immaculately clean, reflecting their hard work in maintaining the place. They really raise the bar! Thank you both, it was a pleasure to meet you!!

We enjoyed our stay. We have stayed in primitive sites before. I was disappointed that there was no effort to make a little beach so we could cool down and enjoy the lake. Also, hiking trails were not marked well (at all?) so we stayed pretty much in the campsite other than the pleasant walk around the lake.

We've camped at space 10,11,17 and 19. All very nice camp spaces. The camp host Jody and Heather were great people. The best We've ever had. Very clean campground. The bathrooms were very clean and smells fresh. Although the firewood is not free. Jody and Heather made sure you had some. If it was available. People leave there wood so it gets used by other campers. Looking forward for next year's trip there.
