Umatilla National Forest

Great location with lots of wildlife, hikes and fall colors.

We Love Mitch and Hank that take care of the property. Everytime we visit we take the time to clean before and after, treating the cabin as if it's our own. We appreciate that the Wildland Firefighters that saved the Powerhouse. So much Gratitude to all who saved the Umatilla Forest.

Great little cabin in a nice spot. Over 9miles of dirt road to get there but really only the last 3/4mi is rough. Fairview Campground is the closest spot to get drinking water, which is about a 30min drive. Propane lamps, fridge, stove & heater worked great! I didn’t use any of the provided kitchen utensils but there was pretty much anything you might need for this type of situation. The local FS Ranger, Dylan, was super helpful and available if needed. Unfortunately, I have to provide a warning, if you take a daytime excursion away from camp and leave anything outside, like an axe or hatchet hidden by the wood pile you made near the fire pit, chances are it will be removed by someone who decides to help themselves to your belongings 😡 All week, I only saw a couple car loads of people who came up to use the bathroom, which was great. The view from the tower was awesome!

Please update your website to show that Site 19 has been removed by a windstorm. We payed 3 nights for a site that no longer exists. There was some degree of confusion when a new site was found and approved by one set of rangers, but the next day another ranger hassled us a bit about it. We had to cut our visit short. It’s a lovely campground but I hope the website will be updated to avoid further confusion.

Total throwback. If you need frills give it a pass. If you love rustic and an amazing view of the sunset, give it a go.

We enjoyed our time at the campground. We stayed there in early October, so the campground was not very full. The bathrooms were spotless and well stocked and the campsites were spacious. Overall, it was a great place to get away with friends for a few days.
