Camping at North Fork John Day Campground (Or) near Ukiah

Public campground · Ukiah · 18 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The site functions as the eastern gateway to the North Fork John Day Wilderness and to a wide range of Umatilla National Forest activities: fishing (special state regulations apply), hiking, horseback riding and horse camping, wildlife viewing, berry and mushroom foraging in season, and hunting in appropriate seasons. If you prefer a scenic drive, pick up the Ukiah Granite Roadside Geology auto-tour brochure from the camp host or Ranger District and follow the nearby byways to historic Granite (about 9 miles south) or the Sumpter dredge and Fremont Powerhouse complex farther downstream.

“Randy was a great host. The bathroom was very clean. Good location with nice sites. River access isn’t easy.”

Paul M 5 · Jul 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Nice bar, not too buggy There is a place or mine across the river that you can’t see from the campground but if you hike a little bit, there’s a lot of rock piles over there”

william s 5 · Jul 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Randy does a great job maintaining the grounds and very helpful with advice for what to do. ”

How far ahead to book North Fork John Day Campground (Or)

For June weekends, book about 44 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 17 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (620 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
