Pendleton owes its establishment to the Oregon Trail emigrants of the 1840s, who traveled across the rugged Blue Mountains to reach the West. Today, those same rugged mountains and the beautiful Columbia River are just minutes from your comfortable base camp at this Journey KOA. Spend the day exploring Pendleton's charming galleries and shops or the world-famous Pendleton Woolen Mills, which has been distributing locally made blankets and tapestries since 1909. Don't miss the Pendleton Underground Tours. Nearby, the Wildhorse Resort & Casino hosts many renowned entertainers and events throughout the year. Home to the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the Pendleton area is rich in history and culture. Enjoy the comfortable facilities at the campground, including free Wi-Fi and cable TV. Max pull thru: 65 feet. Your hosts: Jon & Kana Smith.

Just stayed one night. Came in about 10 minutes before closing. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, I needed some ice. Park was really full but very quiet. It is a bit tight but we were able to maneuver our 39’ motorhome and flat towed jeep easily enough. Pull through was excellent. We didn’t even have to unhitch the jeep.

Clean campground, friendly staff, accommodating and helpful. Several permanent residents. We came in well-before quiet hour. The neighboring site was a permanent resident, and while we tried to be friendly, she refused to say anything and just scowled at us. Can't pick your neighbors, I guess. But other fellow campers and neighbors were very friendly

Conveniently located just a few blocks off the freeway. It’s easy to get to an access to service stations close by. Very well kept facility. There’s maintenance crew working around the park all day long. The one drawback is the spaces are really close together and if you’re pulling a 38 or 40 foot fifth wheel some spots, you have to back into the blind side and it’s pretty tight.They are very few pull through. At the dog park in a playground for the younger kids. I wouldn’t spend my summer here, but it certainly is a good spot for a stop over.

If you love the smell of cigarettes, this place is for you. First off, the good points. The area is very well maintained. The bathrooms are very clean and have very hot water. The hook ups are easy. Now the not so good... It seems like every other site hosts a long term chain smoker. The sites are a little more than a parking lot with a few trees. Nothing like trying to get to sleep or enjoy dinner while your neighbors fumigate the air that you're trying to breathe. The location is nothing special. There is a view of the golden plains, but no walking paths to nature or town. The town is on the other side of the freeway so if you're looking for a place to eat or shop, you'll need to drive to get there or hop on your bikes if you've got some. I was just here for one night while passing through. It's good for a quick one night stop. For anything longer, my personal choice would be to pick a spot with more space between campers and something closer to walking and hiking paths.
