We spent three nights at Wallowa Lake State Park and I don't think we could have found a much better campsite.
Located next to the base of Chief Joseph Mountain, the campsite became shaded by mid-afternoon. That kept temperatures very pleasant.
Our site had adequate space between neighboring campsites. Elsewhere in the campground, there were some sites that were very close together.
There was a tree right behind the driveway. That caused us to angle our camper so we could move our rear slide out bed into position and still be able to park our tow rig in the driveway.
All of the campground's sites meant for RVs and trailers come with electric, water and sewer hookups.
A tag on the sewer cap said to empty your waste slowly since it's an old campground and the system wasn't made for high-volume waste tanks. We didn't have any problem. The campground also has a freestanding waste station that could also be utilized.
A bathroom was located nearby and it had separate shower rooms with plenty of hot water. There's no extra charge to use the showers. They were some of the best campground showers I have seen. There was a bench and shelf with hooks to hang clothing on outside the shower itself. Inside was a bench for sit-down bathing, along with a separate hand-held shower wand along with a typical nozzle higher up.
Wallowa Lake, located on the north side of the campground, is one of the prettiest locations in all of Oregon. It's stunning.
The campground entrance station was staffed by rangers, who explained where your campsite was located and answered questions. The back of the station had a charging station for wheelchairs, the first time I had seen one of those.
Being Oregon, the campground had its own trash compactor and an extensive recycling center. There was even a bin for disposable propane tanks.
The town of Joseph is only eight miles away and has a grocery store, gas station and many souvenir shop and restaurants.
We came during Chief Joseph Days (always the last weekend in July) and while the campground was full, it remained quiet.
This is a gem of a campground and one I would recommend everyone experience. It contains Oregon beauty at its best.
