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.

A great place to be if you're a fly fisherman who likes to rope a million smallmouth on poppers. The only problem can be the wind which may keep you off the water if it's hooting. When I was there, there was one day that I couldn't get out fishing (I'm on a Hobie i11s kayak) until the afternoon when it had calmed down a bit. It was hot in July but they provide electrical hook ups so I ran the a/c in my camper and drank cocktails. Highly recommend this place if you're looking to maximize your time on the water fishing. BTW the waterfront sites are HUGE.

The shade trees have been removed and new trees re-planted. No shade for a few more years. The pit toilet was clean but needed to be pumped.

Have travelled Hwy 97 over 50 times in the last 21 years - Don't know why we never took the short detour to stay in this wonderful park. Prices are reasonable (especially with Senior Pass). It's small, but try to reserve sites 1 - 8, which are pull-through and right on the rivers edge. The other back-in sites are ok, but most longer rigs will have to un-hook. Flush restroom and shower is a medium walk over to the day-use section, but nice. Only a vault toilet in the RV area, but one of the cleanest I've ever seen! No charge for our friend's extra vehicle - No charge for docking your boat overnight - give me a break! Nobody offers that. Nice safe swim area. Big grassy day use are with cabanas. Slight noise from the trains and even a little bit from trucks on the bridge, but not bothersome in RV. Caution - it can be plenty hot, and plenty windy, but that's just the Gorge. We loved it, and will stay again! Pickup and 21ft trailer.

Your website was not very helpful, need to make it so us idiots can program a set date stay. Nice camp hosts, on our way back we were too late in booking a site. Nice area, could use a few more trees, although it was pleasant.

Easy on and off freeway.
This is once again a Corp of Engineers campground with great lay out. Right on the John Day River (where it meets the Columbia River).
They’ve planted some trees that will provide shade in a few years.
Pit toilets, we had electric and water at our site.
