You are going to get two types of reviews. For people who are frequent campers this is a five…read morestar place. Manicured lawns, sites that have hedges around them and very clean bathrooms and showers. Firewood for sale. A book exchange and a nice trail along the river. For those people it's five stars. For those who don't camp the issue is mosquitoes. There is a swampy area a nearby and if there is no breeze especially in the evening, they can be overwhelming. I am from Alaska and the mosquito is the state bird. Here they are equally impressive. If you have screens and bug dope, they are manageable because it's mainly in the evening they are a pain. If you don't, prepare it's uncomfortable and those campers would say two stars.

We were driving down the 395 between John Day and Seneca checking out the beauty of the Malheur…read moreForest while searching for a place to camp for the night. 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!

Nice campground in a grove of ponderosa pines, just off the 395 outside Burns. Typical Forest…read moreService amenities -- picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets. 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.

This isn't just the best RV Park in Sumpter, it's one of the nicest RV Parks in Oregon. 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!!

Oh yeah - seeing the stars from the hot spring pool was dreamy. I'm not sure this would be a pick if the place was full of - the sites are kind of close.

But it does immediately put you in the campy state of mind.

Like WAY FIRST CLASS. Price is also very reasonable. Checking -in after hours is very smooth. Now let's talk about the hot springs... There are two pools and they are extremely clean and comfortable. Here's the bad part, they add chlorine. This is just an absolute no, no, no for me. I come to a hot springs for pure chemical free water. I totally understand why they do it (The pools are a distance from the water source -which is located at their resort next door).... which requires they add some chlorine). I get it. But now that I know... i know and I just can't soak in chlorine. I will, however, stay at their luxury resort next door because those tubs are completely chemical free. I'll let you know how it goes in the event I can ever afford a luxury hot springs resort.

Its a real treat to be able to camp in a pristine state park that has only been open a month! We…read morestopped here for a few nights of camping on a longer roadtrip. It feels INCREDIBLY isolated. 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.

Great campground! Very clean and well kempt grounds, really nice and very clean bathrooms. (I…read morecannot overstate how clean the place was.) The owner seemed really nice though I didn't do the booking or talk with him much, personally. The park is dog and kid-friendly. The creek is nice and cold and was great for the kids to play in and was easy to access. (I.e., no stairs to go down, etc.) There was plenty of parking for our crew which was really helpful. There are no water or sewer hookups at each site, but you can do a septic dump on your way out of the park. I think you can also fill your water tank when you enter. (I don't manage the trailer, as you can tell. :) Adjacent to the RV park is a city park for kids with swings, slides, etc. There's also a tennis court with a basketball hoop in it. Just up on the main street there's a little store and coffee shop, though they're closed a couple of days in the middle of the week. Down the road a tiny bit, there's a mercantile with all the basics you might need. There are a couple other little spots in town but those are the ones we most frequented. We went into John Day, Mitchell, and the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center in Kimberly on our day trips. A bit of a drive, but made for nice activities. (FYI, everything in this area of Oregon will be a drive.) General note: Come prepared with sunscreen, hats, a pop-up shade, and lots of mosquito repellent and bug bite cream. It gets pretty hot in Dayville, and thunderstorms rolled through almost every day of our trip. Overall I definitely recommend South Fork RV Park and visiting Dayville and surrounding areas!

We parked in empty site #14 to be out of the way of others looking for their own sites who might need to drive that back road. Site 14 has a post with a number and an older electric cord zip tied to the water spigot!! We didn't plug in we just went to o bed. We feel a bit like we have been 'had'.
