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 nice, clean RV park with a great view of rolling hills and valleys. Level gravel sites with a picnic table for each, and each site has an outdoor night light at the end of each site... 6/5/2021

Very nice park. Great views of the mountains and valley to the south. Clean and well kept. Quiet in spite of interstate being relatively close. Very friendly and helpful staff. There are several live-in residents at the park but their spots are also well kept. 6/14/2021

Friendly staff, quiet, beautiful view, nice bathrooms 6/14/2021

The place was fine for the overnight. It was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. The negative was how close the sites were to each other. The trees were nice to 6/14/2021

Nice clean campsite nice views from the outside lots but those were all taken by long term renters 6/13/2021

Did self check-in at 10pm, left at 7am. Perfect stop over. 6/13/2021

Good for an overnight stay. Sites are too close together, something we find in a lot of KOAs. Restrooms were clean and in good repair, and the views from the sites on the south edge of the park had gorgeous views. 6/13/2021

Perfect 6/13/2021

Went perfect no issues 6/12/2021

Quick one night stay, although a bit tricky backing in with a 35ft fifth wheel, campground was perfectly clean and site had the most awesome view. Definitely recommend! 6/11/2021

The staff was friendly, informative, & incite full of my needsï¿½ 6/11/2021

Long gravel pull their sites, grass and trees between sites with a picnic table (the neighbor’s sewer connection is right next to the picnic table). They had plenty of room to move it away from it! Easy in and out from HWY. 82. 6/10/2021

It was our 1st time at a KOA Campground, Had a wonderful time there, Jon was always up and down the lane and answered questions and helped out with our needs. Thanks Again and we will be back........ Kent 6/10/2021

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.
