There was ZERO cell coverage ( Verizon and AT&T) if that is important to you. If you have a boat it would be perfect or like to fish.
While we were there, people just let their dogs roam around and did not pick up after them. There were no enforcement of rules.
It was super windy!!! Could not use RV awning nor any pop up shelter. Windy for 2 straight days.
This would be a good place to stop for a night while traveling but would not likely stay there again for any length of time.

It was nice to have full hookups in the heat for a reasonable price but the sites are very close together.

We enjoy just "sittin' by the river!" Found a couple of restaurants in the area and enjoyed driving to Umatilla and buying fresh cantalope and watermelon.
It would be helpful to have a local directory/maps of places to see and go available on site . We miss having camp hosts as well.

We had a nice spot right on the John Day River, excellent view. Clean park, friendly workers. Downside, I84 noise, boat noise and it was obscenely hot. Great for a night or two.

Easy on and off freeway.
This is once again a Corp of Engineers campground with great lay out. Right on the John Day River (where it meets the Columbia River).
They’ve planted some trees that will provide shade in a few years.
Pit toilets, we had electric and water at our site.

Have travelled Hwy 97 over 50 times in the last 21 years - Don't know why we never took the short detour to stay in this wonderful park. Prices are reasonable (especially with Senior Pass). It's small, but try to reserve sites 1 - 8, which are pull-through and right on the rivers edge. The other back-in sites are ok, but most longer rigs will have to un-hook. Flush restroom and shower is a medium walk over to the day-use section, but nice. Only a vault toilet in the RV area, but one of the cleanest I've ever seen! No charge for our friend's extra vehicle - No charge for docking your boat overnight - give me a break! Nobody offers that. Nice safe swim area. Big grassy day use are with cabanas. Slight noise from the trains and even a little bit from trucks on the bridge, but not bothersome in RV. Caution - it can be plenty hot, and plenty windy, but that's just the Gorge. We loved it, and will stay again! Pickup and 21ft trailer.
