Pendleton, Oregon Campground | Pendleton KOA Journey

Welcome to the Wild West! Pendleton is a rodeo town, an Oregon Trail stopover, a town brimming with history and character...

Our park offers a full range of amenities to accommodate your family or group's stay. Enjoy the unimpeded view of the Blue Mountains while relaxing by the propane fire on our clubhouse patio, treat yourself to an ice cream or a cold drink from our onsite Kampstore, take a jaunt down the hill to the historical town of Pendleton with its myriad of intriguing offerings... We are particularly proud of our personable, friendly, and accommodating staff, and the immaculate cleanliness of our bathrooms, laundry facility, and park.

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.

Very comfortable stay in the Wagon. Very well kept site. Thank you. 4/16/2021

Super nice spot in a KOA that was very well maintained, quite and with friendly hosts. Pendelton was centrally located to many of the OR and WA places we wanted to visit so it was great. Cannot ask for much more than that! 4/14/2021

Very clean park with very friendly staff 4/11/2021

Very tight center sites and encroaching neighbors 1 foot behind and 1 foot into the site entrance on one side made getting into our site difficult and meant we had to unhitch to avoid having our bumper into the drive... 4/8/2021

Nice folks. Great spaces 4/8/2021

Pendleton Journey KOA was clean, quiet and the view sites are totally worth it. Pendleton is in a beautiful valley - huge variety of birds. Super clean bathrooms. There is a really cool looking wagon you could stay in - looked like fun... 4/7/2021

The Pendleton Underground is one of the most fascinating tours in town! Check out the businesses literally carved out UNDER the historic downtown blocks of Pendleton... Chinese laborers lived there while working on the railroads, illicit businesses (brothels and speakeasies) cropped up there, complete with hidden escape tunnels... The volunteer guides are fantastic storytellers, so you're in for a great tour!

It's a good idea to call ahead and reserve a space on one of the tours.

Pendleton, Oregon. A small agricultural town located at the foothills of the beautiful Blue Mountains. And now home to some of the best beers in the state. We're passionate about fermentation and it shows in our beer. Whether it's a dry-hopped Northwest IPA, or a malt-heavy Porter, the Prodigal Son is dedicated to exploring the possibilities of grain, hops and yeast. Creativity is something we value in our Ales and it's our goal to incorporate regional ingredients into beers that go beyond convention. Brewing to style is not our objective; we prefer to focus our explorations on the potential of beer.But we're more than just brewing, we've got good food to boot. The Prodigal Son features a menu that combines traditional pub fare with from-scratch cooking. Here you will find regional ingredients incorporated into handcrafted cuisine. We have a bona fide chef with an artist's muse- and his work is truly the product of inspiration. Our food is unique –you might even say it has character.We're proud to be back home, here in Eastern Oregon. Come visit anytime, and stay as long as you like. We hope you will join us on our journey to beervana. Lucky for you, your efforts will be rewarded with good beer.
