Muleshoe Campground

About this site

Located just off of the sleepy John Day Highway, this campground offers 8 primitive campsites and an unimproved boat launch accessing the John Day River. The ancient river canyon weaves through the area providing spectacular views with ever-changing light and shadows in the early morning and late evening hours. A picturesque grove of ponderosa pine trees lines a section of the riverbank opposite the campground and the site itself has a large, solitary pine prominently situated. The surrounding layer cake geology is exposed in various peekaboo angles from the campground. Additional Info: Six drive-in graveled sites overlook the John Day River and are suitable for RVs up to 50 feet. Two walk-in tent sites are located uphill from the river. Amenities include two wheelchair accessible vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings. No potable water, utility hookups, or garbage service available. An annual fire closure is in effect from June 1 through October 15. Open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations.
