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.

I have been going to Lepage Park for more than 40 years. Before it had any actual sites, it was just a piece of land. Since becoming a pay-to-camp site, it has gone way downhill. The grounds are covered with weeds and burs that get stuck in your feet. There is dog poop left in sites. I have dogs and I clean up after them, but for those that don't, it would be nice if camp host or someone would check the sites. No one is watching the sites to make sure people are adhering to the rules. Regularly people are camping next to us and are invading our campsite with their belongings. This last trip we had a river site and there was a huge fifth wheel in the site in front us and a smaller trailer behind us. I have no idea why, but the fifth wheel decided to park the back of their trailer more than half way out of their site twards ours, leave us barely enough room to get our camper back on our truck. They also had 3 trucks, a boat and a motor cycle on their site. No one said anything to them the entire time and my husband didn't want to cause problems.
The site behind us also decided to park halfway out of their site leaving us barely any room behind. I know we have a small camper, but we paid the same and are entitled to the same space. The hosts, or park rangers should be watching this and taking care of it. Also, it would be nice if people had common courtesy.

No cell service at site 9. Otherwise it was a good experience. Excellent employee who greeted us and gave us our site card.

Excellent location. Friendly, efficient check in. Easy checkout. We had a pull through on the riverfront this trip, and were able to stay hooked up to our tow car. They have a roped off swimming area with a nice beach. And there are paths along the river. Sadly, the air conditions were so unhealthy due to wildfires smoke, we didn’t spend a lot of time outside. However, this does not reflect on the campground itself, and we really appreciate having it available. It is a lovely place.

What you don’t know about this campground, is that the tent camping area is basically a field with sites marked for tents. There is a tresses nearby, which means that any time trucks go over it you get a good amount of thumping noise through the area. The men’s restrooms didn’t work and the water in the women’s restroom sinks didn’t work. Overall this place left a lot to be desired. Had it at least been clean and well maintained I could have given it two stars, but alas one was the lowest I could go.

The bathroom situation has got to change! One or both bathrooms have been out of commission or nearly so the last 3 times there. The park grounds are well kept, the gate house staff friendly, but the bathroom situation is atrocious. The drain lines need to be completely rebuilt and the fixtures functioning. At the same time, potable water spouts should be added at multiple points in the tent-camping area.
