What Guests Are Saying
Lepage Park is appreciated for its friendly staff, clean facilities, and beautiful waterfront location near the John Day and Columbia rivers, making it a great stop for travelers. Many guests noted the park's well-maintained sites and good fishing opportunities, though some expressed disappointment with the restroom cleanliness and limited amenities, particularly for RV campers. While windiness and occasional utility issues were mentioned, the overall experience was positive, with many guests looking forward to returning.

Cool campground next to the water. Site T3 has some shade from a large tree which is nice, though only partial coverage. Site has flush toilets and showers. Bring your own hand soap, there is some hand santizer available. It’s fairly windy, which is nice when it is hot out

The accomodations were okay, The water pressure was too high and we didn't have a regulator on our hose, so it blew out our water tank in our trailer. Just a heads up to others- and maybe faucets could be installed that regulate it somewhat, we noticed some do have faucets on them. But the one we were in does not. It was a big repair bill.
Water became unusable during our stay due to testing the park received. Not sure how this can be avoided in the future?
Winds probably always blow in this area, but one day of our 3 day stay they were extremely high and it made it impossible to do anything.
Very helpful and friendly camp hosts.
