What Guests Are Saying
Lepage Park offers a pleasant camping experience with well-maintained facilities, friendly staff, and scenic views along the river. While some guests noted issues like gravel sites instead of grass and occasional water outages, the overall cleanliness and safety of the park were appreciated. It's a convenient stop for travelers, although nearby noise from traffic and trains can be a minor drawback.

Very basic, there are no garbage bins aside from the big one right by the toilets. Water fountains weren't working. The shower lights weren't working and there was only one shower serving the whole park. There is construction work that seems to have been stuck in time for quite a few years on one of the walkways. There was no area to wash dishes, the only water source were the showers and the two faucets in the bathrooms, of which only one worked.
Campers were parking their cars on the grass by their tents and there was no enforcement to be seen.
End to end - basic and not well maintained.

We spent one night at LePage Park and had a nice time while we were there. The park is located on the banks of the John Day River, where it flows into the Columbia River. There is a small swimming area and a large day use area for boaters and picnicking. There is also a tenting area as well.
The campground itself has power and water at the sites along with a dump site near the entry that has quite good access for larger vehicles.
Some sites, like #5, are right on the river's bank and offer amazing views of the hills surrounding the John Day and Columbia rivers. Each campsite is paved, and they are closer to each other than at other campgrounds, but not uncomfortably close. The pit toilet was clean and well stocked. Interestingly, even with the Interstate fairly close to the park, the noise was not disrupting to sleep, at least inside an RV, and lights from the vehicles were mostly blocked by the rail on the bridge.
One of the enjoyable parts of our stay was watching the surrounding hills with the wind turbines in the evening sunset.
While Le Page Park may not be for everyone, it was a welcome respite after a hot day on the road. Boaters should find this park particularly nice with the pull through sites, ample boat trailer parking, nice launch and dock facilities, and area for picnicking. All in all, it was a worthwhile and enjoyable experience.

Great campground on the river with electricity. Convenient location, right on I-84.
But, be aware, campground sites are small and focused on boating, back-in sites were quite close together. We didn't have a drive-through site along river, they were much roomier.
The amenities included showers, but they only had cold water and were located by the day-use parking area.
