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 friendly park, met everyone from one end to the other. Our spot was awesome along the John Day River. It had enough room to squeeze our 11' camper, 20' boat and an extended cab Dodge in without trespassing on our neighbors. We are returning in September and hope to return annually or more. Oh yeah! Fishing was good too lol
