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.

We love this camping spot so much. If you are staying you need to bring all the potable water you will need for your stay. But this is a small drawback for such a beautiful setting.

Stayed for 4 days of fishing on the John Day but water was too muddy from storms up river so took to the Columbia instead and did OK. Nice in the morning and late evening in the campground, hot in the afternoon with no tree cover at the campsites but a pretty park and some tree cover and picnic areas have cover. Potable water not available but there is water at the site...apparently some construction on the water system is underway.

There is no shade in the camping area. Very windy, loud and the water was out which we knew about but the camp host was hooked up to water so not sure whatwas up with the water situation. The freeway and train nearby echo into the canyon and amplify the sound. Not dog friendly. The park itself could really use some very basic maintenance like paint. Graffiti everywhere. The beach which does not allow dogs at all was completely overgrown with weeds. The picnic areas near the beach were very worn and some were missing the shades plus looked like a really good place to get stickers. With not a lot of work or money this place could be so nice but seems like it has been abandoned. The bathrooms were there was water was closed but the pit toilet which is the only bathroom in the RV area was not yet to the super stinky point but not great will be bad in a few months especially with no air flow not even a solar fan on the building. Add some trees and update the RV area seems like it could be a really nice place. The tent camping area is adjacent / in the middle of the public area which seems like a recipe for disaster. At least 0 privacy. So much potential just not well maintained or thought out.
