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

Thia campground is beautiful and very well maintained. The walking path circles the entire lake and is paved to allow strollers and wheelchairs to traverse the entire route. The fish bite quickly enough to keep my four year old interested, resident deer make their way through camp nightly, and for a campground this size it is relatively quiet. Aside from the nature, the hosts are worth mention. Heather and Jody are phenomenal camp hosts. They are very accommodating and often check in on guests to see how they are doing. Heather brought around camp goodies for the kids and even had a first aid kit handy to fix up my son's scrapes. I have nothing negative to say about this campground. We had a wonderful experience.

My husband mentioned that a playground/structure of some sort for the kids would be nice, but we suspect that funding and lawsuits against the Forest Service are probably holding that back. Nevertheless we enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be returning again soon!

One of our favorite places to camp. We arrived to find enough stacked firewood that lasted our full 3 days. Quiet, private spots. Beautiful lake with concrete walkway, benches, docks. We stayed in site 27 which is right on the lake.

Excellent camp and Jodi was a wonderful camp host!! He cut wood for us and even built the fire. So welcoming. We stayed in site 4 which was against the hill and very private. The little lake is beautiful and has a paved trail all the way around for a short walk. We would definitely stay again if we were coming or going in the area.

Great campsites and nice walk around the lake. Were able to hear elk bugle and see wild turkeys. Special thanks to camp hosts (Jody and Heather) who greeted us as we drove in and were always friendly and helpful. Look forward to camping here again.

Wonderful and helpful camp hosts, (A big shoutout to Heather and Jody!), the sound of elk bugling in the distance, osprey and otter to watch at the lake, hiking on the nearby deserted roads and around the lake, fishing, and a quiet place to enjoy friends and the beauty of the area! What's not to like!?!

Beautiful and quiet campground. Jody and Heather are the friendliest campground hosts we’ve ever experienced in all of our decades of camping. They go out of their way to help everyone. They keep the whole campground spotless.
