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

Site 25 was not very private. Almost shared with #26. Campground overall is very well maintained and quiet. We will be back!

The camp host is AMAZING!!! Cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever encountered at a campground! They were around just enough to make everything run super smooth. Helpful and informative. I would go back just to see them. Besides that, the lake was beautiful and clean as were the trails and paths. All the other campers we very courteous and respectful at night time. 100% a good time!

This is a very clean camp with excellent campground hosts. I have camped here a number of times over the years and have never been disappointed. This year our party decided to take the drive between Kimberly (on the John Day River) and Monument to the East. Besides being such a beautiful drive, with many thriving farms, we viewed an Osprey nest at the City Park near Monument. Within just a few more miles is the John Day Fossil Beds. The interpretive center is open Thursday through Monday. I'll be back!

It’s not under shade. It’s miserable which it is not designed for the tent. It’s perfect for RV only. I left early on Saturday morning instead of Sunday. I can’t handle this anymore.
