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.

Cannot drink the water. Too much sulfur. Old, old well. The water stinks badly in our coach, however I used their sheets and the water was filtered/treated. The actual park is big, has a playground with showers and bathrooms. Lots of parking. The beach this time was covered in some type of grass. They don’t have enough help to clean it out. Stinks too. Front row lake spots have no sewer. Pretty view but few places to fish if you don’t have a boat. Not sure I would go back as there isn’t much to do without a boat and with the beach in the shape it was. Great for an overnighter as it’s right off the 84. Easy in and out. Under 40’. Hairpin curve at the bottom turn into campground. Dump station upon exit. Enough room to unhook before going to campsite.

Excellent views from the pull-thrus facing the river. Very personable hosts and gate attendants. We weren’t prepared for the amount of wind at first, but got used to it and did have 3-4 days of calmer weather. We swam and floated at the back end of the campground. There was way too much moss growing in the swim area. Too bad they haven’t made this a safety priority. Beware rattlesnakes!

Had a nice visit to LePage Park. Very friendly camp hosts. We didn't fish or boat but looked like a good location for those activities. We ventured upriver to a gorgeous day use area and swimming. Lots to do nearby. Swimming area has some lake grass (seaweed) but non toxic and still good for splashing around. There are rattlesnakes in the area so it's good to be aware of surroundings. Beautiful place! Enjoyed star gazing and saw a couple of meteors
