Farewell Bend

We were here in late September, extremely windy all night. "Antelope Loop" or "A Loop" has very little wind protection, many of the old trees are gone. B and C loops seem more protected from the wind, but I cannot verify that. Pros: - Bathrooms were very clean. - Great views of the Milky Way. Easy to get to the park, good roads. Cons: - Goathead thorns make bikes impossible, also dangerous for pets. - Could hear the freeway much of the time. - Tons of RV sites, few tent sites with adequate room for an actual tent. Overall it's an easy, affordable place to stop (the extra $10 fee for online booking is annoying though). The wind made for a pretty miserable night and it would have been easy for a tent to fly away without any protections from the wind. I'll probably stay again in B or C loop to see if it's more protected.

Good separation of sites, Catfish loop has an old water leak at site 107, more shade on other loops. T mobile cell service good here. Nice views of the river, trains run but no whistles, highway noise not too bad either.

Renegade 38ft with Jeep. Early August stay. Temps high 80s. Very pretty park with lots of shrubbery & trees. Unfortunately, looks like the area is in a drought but the Park is watered everywhere, daily. Park seems underutilized. Lots of one-nighters. Very quiet park. There's a TA less than a mile away on the Interstate.Site 66B - 50A & water. Asphalt but pretty unlevel. (See photos). Used to boondocking unlevel so we carry extra but after using all the blocks, we were still 1.0 degrees off. But it worked ok. Other sites in the loop look more level. Friendly staff.No AT&T but Starlink was 150mb.Ontario, OR is 22 miles away off the Interstate. Walmart, Albertsons, etc for restocking.We really enjoyed the quiet here. Hidden gem.Keep in mind the park charges for an extra vehicle, like a towed vehicle. We camped at Farewell Bend State Recreation Area in a Motorhome.

Very lovely well maintained park. With visible camp hosts available. The pull through trailer sights were very close to perfectly level, and the snake river was very close to the campsite. In hind sight, I understood why the loop closest to the river had more vacancies, the mosquitos are real, and insistent. Glad I had deep woods off towelettes. My pull through was 120, maybe it is called catfish loop? I would encourage you to stay in the closer, upper loops, which I image is further away from the river and mosquitos. The people in the upper loops seemed to be enjoying sitting in their camp chairs unmolested by the hungry horde of these tiny, flying menaces. I will be staying at Farewell Bend again, just in the upper loop.

We stayed the First week in July and enjoyed our time. My husband caught lots of fish. Which they had a great fish cleaning station for that. Bathrooms and showers were clean and in working order. I just want to let you all know that the camp sites by the Indian burial grounds are the most peaceful and enjoyable sites. We will continue to go back again and again.
