This was a convenient stop to wait out the 45 mph gusts on our trip in Oregon. The campground has gravel sites but a paved driveway. Sites have electric and water. The dump station is convenient near the entrance.

I had a beautiful site right on the Waters edge. The park was neat and clean at all times and the restrooms were very clean. The host were friendly and helpful. I plan on staying here next year when I pass through again.

We loved our stay at LaPage. The sites were clean quiet and big. The staff was very friendly and helpful. More to see than I realized but you do have to drive to find them. The BBQ restaurant in Rufus is great too. We will definitely be back.v
