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

Amazing camp host. Clean vault toilets. Sites were private even though they were next to each other. I will definitely be back in the future.

This is a fantastic, amazing campground with some of the most kind, generous hosts imaginable. They managed to keep a rally of 60 motorcycles to a tolerable level, quiet hours actually quiet, and the campsite clean and well run. Plus, they offered free firewood they delivered to your campsite. We camp 12x each summer and this experience surpassed them all so far (with 3 left). Be prepared for bugs and make sure to take the correct route to this campground -- it directly off 207. Do not go to a Forest Service Road, trust the mistake of others. Your GPS, is indeed wrong :)

Beautiful well kept campground and host's are doing a fantastic job keeping up the grounds. Lake was nice but a little small and hardly any fish but not a reflection of the campground.

Outstanding Hoist and Excellent Campground. Bull Prairie was a new location for our August family camp vacation this year. We were a very large group with 12 small children using 5 to 6 camp spots. The camp spots are large and for the most part private, water is provided, roads are paved (no dust), graveled driveways, and the bathrooms were super clean. The lake is beautiful with foot docks for kayaks and fishing, including a paved path around it. Abundant wildlife with Deer (even in camp), Osprey living along the lake, Beaver, and more. The surrounding mountain areas are beautiful, open, and clean. But our favorite part was our camp hoist “Heather and Jody”. She provides help from arrival to departure and always with a large smile. They even gave us free firewood. She entertained all the kids with gift bags, Smoky the Bear tattoos, and stories making it a rememberable experience for our children. The binoculars were a big hit. Heather and Jody should be recognized for their excellence. Thank You for a wonderful vacation 😊.

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the grounds, including restrooms, with a variety of amenities swimming hiking boating! The camp hosts, Jodie and Heather were extremely helpful in getting us situated. One of the best camps we have been to… all around quiet, enjoying beautiful evenings and serene mornings.
