We drove right past the sign for Starr and turned around to check it out...very glad we did. The Starr Campground sits right off the highway and has 11 sites set in 2 sections, an upper loop and a lower section. When we stayed last Thursday night there was only one other party camping. Our neighbors were set up in the lower section where the sites are a bit more spread out, while we opted to stay in the loop nearer the highway. Nothing at the campground is far from the highway, but we found it peaceful. Each section has a vault toilet, and the upper one was surprisingly clean, as was the campground overall. The setting is lovely, engulfed in beautiful trees...including some larches that were turning their gorgeous yellow while we were there. The sites at Starr are only $6, a tiny price to pay for a beautiful night in the Malheur Forest. Highly Recommend!

Spaces are…read morerelatively large and it feels rustic, with lots of trees and good shade coverage on hot days. The facilities are what you'd expect: attractive, clean and pleasant. But what really sets this place apart is the staff. We had our RV side door ripped off 4 out of 6 hinges by a nasty gust of wind, popping the rivet heads off all the hinge rivets on a Friday night. How was I going to fix that? Noboy is even open until Monday. Well, Dan at Sumpter Pines got out his drills to drill out the rivets, tap the holes in the frame and screw in some new aluminum screws. And he did it for free!! What a guy!! He saved out trip from possibly losing the door and wasting precious vacation time at an RV repair garage. He saved our vacation out of his skills and good nature. Thank you Dan!!

But the toilets were the cleanest I've EVER experienced at any campground, anywhere! Aside from their immaculate cleanliness, they even SMELLED pleasant! I mean, I would literally have felt comfortable sleeping in them, even. I gave it 4 stars because it's kinda close to the highway...but that stretch of the 395 isn't very frequently traveled (or at least it wasn't at the time of my visit, in mid-July 2015)...so it's not really bothersome. Just not as scenic/remote as I like. But really, a nice place overall.

Out of cell service and quite far from any kind of services. The campground itself is quite small and open - but with big grassy pads for tenting and great star gazing. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. There was no camp host but we were able to buy a bundle of firewood. Pit toilets in the bathrooms and a day use area with a power outlet where we charged our phones. The site has some interesting history, previously being the site of a sawmill. There are some placards around about this. We spent a bit of time exploring the trails - well maintained and pretty sufficient for a family with small kids. My kids also enjoyed seeing the pond and dam.

The campground is also available for day use; many picnic tables are spread out between campsites and the lake. A paved trail circles the lake for walkers and bikers. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to a return visit.

There is a mix of tent and trailer sites. Some of the sites are small and some are absolutely HUGE, about half the sites have water, however there is no electricity or sewage dump. We camped in site #2 which was a 70ft pull through, however I wouldn't recommend anyone pulling anything larger than say 34ft as some of the corners would be hard to make. The rates were $10 first night and $5 each night thereafter at the time we stayed here in the summer of 2010. We highly recommend this park, it's very beautiful, our only wish is that it was farther from the highway as you can here the traffic going by, otherwise great!

You just insert your payment in the box and move on with your life. It's $10 the first night and $5 thereafter. Extra vehicle fees are $5 which each campsite has one included. Bathrooms are clean and there is flat ground to pitch a tent. There are cold water spickets. There are a couple of trails but otherwise the most entertainment you'll find is away from the park. Another reviewer said the road traffic was loud, but it never bothered us once. There's so few cars on Hwy 19, and this was a busy weekend. Still didn't hear much. There is firewood for $5 an armload and it's also the honest John system. Call for reservations if you have a group or just show up first come first serve. Definitely worth it for a trip to Fossil or the Painted Hills when you have nothing to do during the day.

The campground was beautifully maintained (it still have green grass and lots of trees) and the campground hosts were friendly and helpful. We still have great Wi-Fi reception there (our hot spot) and had a great back-in site for our 36' RV towing our Subaru. The dogs still love the walks there. I wondered how it would be in full summer, and it was still the gem it was in the spring. I did hear that they are considering adding 2 cabins and 2 tipis. I hope they use the short driveways. I would hate to lose any of the long ones. If they add the cabins/tipis they will have some reservable sites. That would be a good thing. This campground is a halfway point for us on the way to Burns and we have really enjoyed it. If they add day use, I hope they expand the existing picnic area near the entrance and not take away any camping sites.
