About
Clyde Holliday State Recreation Site is an oasis along the John Day River in eastern Oregon, located just 6 miles west of the town of John Day. The campground is enveloped by tall cottonwood and willow trees that create a shaded, tranquil setting along the river corridor. Each of the 31 campsites is thoughtfully landscaped with trees and vegetation to provide a sense of privacy and seclusion. The park offers modern amenities including electric hookups at all sites, heated restrooms with flush toilets, and hot showers available year-round. RV campers will appreciate the dump station and accommodations for rigs up to 84 feet in driveway length. The campground provides excellent access to the John Day River for fishing and wildlife viewing, while serving as a convenient base camp for exploring the nearby Strawberry Mountain Wilderness and the region's rich mining and ranching history. Clyde Holliday operates year-round, though water hookups at individual sites are turned off from late October through March depending on weather. During winter months, water remains available at the RV dump station for filling containers and tanks, and all restroom facilities maintain full water service.
