About this campground

LePage Park is located at the confluence of the John Day and Columbia Rivers just five miles from Rufus, Oregon, and the John Day Dam. Popular activities include river fishing, swimming, water skiing and boating.

The campground offers 22 sites with electric hookups and 20 primitive walk-to tent sites. Amenities include flush and pit toilets, showers, drinking water, a dump station and boat ramp.

The park is situated in a river basin with a high desert climate. Mature shade trees line the edges of this open grassy park on the banks of the John Day River. Wildlife is abundant in the area, such as mule deer, waterfowl, and birds of prey.

Visitors enjoy boating, water sports and swimming in the river. Anglers fish for smallmouth bass, catfish, and abundant sunfish. A boat ramp is located at the campground for convenient river access.

What campers say

Lepage Park is a small COE waterfront campground right off I-84 offering paved sites with power (some 50‑amp) and onsite water plus a convenient dump station. It’s a handy overnight stop with riverfront views, a swim area, day-use picnic space and boat access, and basic restrooms/showers. Expect highway noise from the nearby interstate and closer-than-average site spacing. Water quality and beach condition appear variable — some visitors report sulfur or murky water and debris on the beach — and a few lakefront sites may lack sewer. Overall it’s family-friendly and practical for boaters or quick stops.
