About
Lepage Park is an Army Corps of Engineers campground situated at the confluence of the John Day and Columbia Rivers, just five miles from Rufus, Oregon and the John Day Dam. The park offers a prime location for water-based recreation in the high desert climate of the Columbia River Gorge region. The campground provides 42 campsites total, including 22 RV sites with electric hookups and 20 primitive walk-to tent sites. Additional first-come, first-served tent sites are available on weekends and holidays. Amenities include both flush and pit toilets, hot showers, drinking water, a dump station, and a boat ramp for convenient river access. The park is characterized by its open grassy areas lined with mature shade trees along the banks of the John Day River. Popular activities include fishing for smallmouth bass, catfish, and abundant sunfish in the rivers, along with boating, water skiing, swimming, and various paddling activities. Wildlife is abundant in the area, with frequent sightings of mule deer, waterfowl, and birds of prey. Visitors should be aware that rattlesnakes may be present in the area and off-road vehicles are not permitted.
