Grant County RV Park operates year-round on fairgrounds property in John Day, with full hookups available for RVs up to 70 feet. The county-managed facility offers both pull-through and back-in sites on level gravel, all equipped with 20/30/50 amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Sites accommodate large rigs easily, though smaller campers may feel dwarfed among the big motorhomes that frequent this spot.
The John Day River runs alongside the campground, accessible just beyond the road that borders one row of sites. Most sites include large picnic tables, though the close spacing between spots limits privacy. A self-service kiosk handles check-in, and the facility provides WiFi throughout the grounds. Clean restrooms and showers sit across a grassy area from the camping sites.
"Showers and bathrooms are clean and across a grass area," notes Jim M.. The campground stays quiet when no fairground events are scheduled, making it a functional overnight stop for travelers. Staff show flexibility with late arrivals and challenging situations, particularly when other area campgrounds reach capacity.
At $15 per night with full hookups, the park serves as an affordable base for exploring the region. For additional overnight options, campers can check campsites near John Day. The facility works best for RV travelers prioritizing hookups and convenience over privacy or natural settings.
