Lake Owyhee State Park is a remote oasis on the eastern edge of Oregon that offers camping and boating on the shore of a scenic desert canyon reservoir. The park contains two campgrounds along Owyhee Reservoir, a 53-mile-long lake that fills a narrow, deep canyon brimming with colorful volcanic rock formations.
22 electrical sites with water (two accessible) Two cabins (open March 1 - Nov 15; one pet-friendly, one accessible) Boat ramp (water level permitting) Firewood and ice for sale seasonally Potable water available seasonally
The campground and the facilities were clean. Easy access to the restrooms and the boat ramps. Overall we had a great weekend and will stay there again.
Download you maps and fill up your gas, because no service here :)
The Campground is beautiful, although I wished they water the trees that are dead/dying.
Staff is friendly, the cabins are great. Star views at night are amazing. Very quiet and secluded.
I love cabins at this campground, but it's only 2 of them. I have families who would love to go there with us, but we need 2 more at least. We'll we have travel trailer so we can take it but we love to haul boat to that incredible place. Other families can stay in cabins still not enough.🤣😆 Of course would be nice if there would be showers, but we had outdoor one, so it's ok.
Quiet, as it’s the end of the road, and it’s very open (zero privacy or cover). No showers here, even though the state’s website claims there are - those are at McCormick and they’re “cold” showers as of 9/1/21. Park host and Oregon State Parks staff are all super friendly. Boat ramp is open, even at really low water, and it’s a great launch location. 3 vault toilets were all clean and a good fish cleaning station. If you bring dogs, keep them on a leash, because the goat head weeds are everywhere and you’ll be picking them for days.
