Campgrounds in Wallowa Whitman National Forest continue to offer spacious, clean, and quiet campsites with friendly staff and nearby restrooms. While the natural surroundings and hiking remain appealing, recent wildfires have caused campground closures, resulting in frustration over delayed or unclear refunds. Additionally, the lake levels remain very low, affecting water activities and access.

Loved staying here as I had repairs done in La Grande. The whole campground and especially the latrine was very clean. Lots of elk track along the creek and saw five of them in my wandering along with turkey. Thank you for a service for providing these wonderful little campgrounds.

Union Creek CG is one of our favorites. It is close to numerous Sumpter, Granite and Baker City. Easy to do short day trips to the historic Fremont Power House near Granite, Sumpter Valley Dredge in Sumpter and the Oregon Trail Museum in Baker City.
If you fish, you are right on the water at Philips Reservoir. The campground has a nice boat ramp though access might be limited during drought years.
