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 mi 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.

Hands down one of the best campgrounds. The Hosts, Heather and Jody, are fantastic. They consistently come around to make sure campers have what they need and provide free wood. They keep the bathrooms really clean and nice as well as the entire campground. It’s a great place for families and pets to enjoy the water and a safe place to camp. We will be back many more times.

This is a wonderful place to camp off the grid, i.e. no hookups but with water taps and pit toilets. The campground is relatively small, the little lake is beautiful, and the facilities are immaculately maintained. The camp hosts are very friendly and helpful and even provide firewood. We just discovered Bull Prairie last year but it's already on our list of favorites. Oh, and no rough roads to get there and we love stopping in Heppner on the way.

We had a great time relaxing, kayaking, visiting friends, and hiking. The hosts, Heather and Jody, do a fantastic job answering questions, providing firewood, and helping you out with any needs you may have. They are the best! The campsites are clean and ready to go when you arrive, vault toilets clean, and fresh clean water ready for use. An excellent camping trip!

The camp host, Heather, was amazing! She delivered us free wood to our campsite. She even stopped by at night and made glow stick necklaces for my kids and gave us one of those color-changing flame packets. The camp site had clean vaulted toilets well stocked. The campsite was very biking friendly for the kids. We paddled on or raft and it was peaceful. Fishing wasn’t great in July though. Pretty area
