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

Beautiful lake to walk around. Lots of wildlife so be sure to take binoculars to see the Osprey nests in the tree tops.

Wonderful campground and campsite. Beautiful area, wonderful little lake, and a nice hike around the lake. Enjoyed watching the wildlife and being in the quiet. Campfire was a bonus and cannot forget the Smores! Camp hosts were great and very helpful throughout our stay. Will be back to this location.
