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.

No cell service which is great! Pavedpath all the way around the beautiful lake, lake is fabulous for kayaking or floating. We stayed in group site 10 and it was enough for four trailers and 3 tents. Great fire ring , a little far from the bathroom but the kybo is always clean and stocked with toilet paper. Camp host told us that they were bringing water to the site because the potable water was a little far. A great site nice and quiet only one neighbor! If you need firewood make sure to go to the OHV park down the road and you get a giant amount of wood for $10! Mosquitoes of course cuz it's a lake, and it got a little cold at night because you are in the mountains. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great place to unplug and relax! Also the camp hosts are great! So helpful funny and kind!

Great time fishing, kayaking, and hiking. Camp hosts did an excellent job answering any of our questions. Beware, as there are mosquitos so bring repellent!

The camp was clean and the hosts were extremely nice and helpful. They were very friendly and gave all the children several Forest Service goodies. All had a good time on the lake and visiting. I would suggest that a large dumpster would be handy especially for large groups. Our group did pack it out and left the area clean.

Absolutely gorgeous campsite. I love how secluded and spread out it is. Campsite was full yet we felt almost alone there. The new hosts are extremely attentive and welcoming. Tons of fish, too! Water spickest are minimal but there is plenty of time to walk a little further for some water. This is going to be a repeat trip for us for sure!

A great little campground with fantastic hosts! Well kept up, a nice little hike, and a ton of docks for fishing or launching kayaks. When we were there (July 2022) there was a family of Ospreys living in a tree right on the lake edge. One stole another fisherman's trout right off the line! As a bonus, there's almost no light pollution, so the stars were incredible! Perfect for families or as a romantic outdoor escape!

A very serene mid-August camping experience. We were pleasantly greeted by the Campground Host couple and directed to our site. The pit toilets were very clean as was the campground in general. A pleasant and welcome surprise was the abundant free campfire wood available in the campground. Campers should be aware of the voracious mosquitos that become active in late afternoon. A good insect repellant is highly recommended. We also noted, happily, that wasps and yellowjackets were few and not a problem. The path around the lake is quite walkable and paved with nice views of the lake and surroundings. However, campers who use wheelchairs should prepare for some difficult passages where the pavement is deteriorating. A plus for us this year was observing the young Ospreys in the giant nest high in a tree beside the lake. They will soon be gone but were fun to watch their practice flights on the lake.
