Lepage Park

About

LePage Park sits at the scenic confluence of the John Day and Columbia Rivers in Oregon's high desert country, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The campground offers 22 sites with 50-amp electric and water hookups, many with pull-through driveways accommodating RVs up to 56 feet, plus 20 primitive walk-to tent sites along the riverbank. Mature shade trees line the grassy park, providing relief from the summer sun. Facilities include flush toilets and vault toilets, hot showers, potable water, and an RV dump station. A boat ramp gives direct access to the John Day River, making this a popular base for boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing. Anglers target smallmouth bass, catfish, and sunfish in the productive waters. The surrounding high desert terrain attracts wildlife including mule deer, waterfowl, and raptors. The campground operates seasonally from mid-April through mid-October, with on-site staff during the operating season. Reservations are available through Recreation.gov up to 6 months in advance. Each site accommodates up to 8 people with a 14-day stay limit within any 30-day period.
