We have applied with the Oregon State Park system for campground hosting for next summer. The most appealing position available is at Emigrant Springs in NE Oregon (20 miles south of Pendelton). It looks like a nice campground and area but we haven't been there before and it's too far for us to travel now and check it out before next summer.
Anyone had any experience with this park, either as a camper or volunteer. We would be committing for June, July and August of 2015.

We've camped there a couple of times, usually an enroute stay between Boise and Seattle. It's a beautiful, but very heavily treed campground. You're relatively close to I-84, but the vegetation seems cut the noise pretty significantly. It's not what I would consider a destination campground, there are not a lot of activities in the park but several things to do in the area with hiking in the National Forest, etc.

Thank you Dale & Ruth. That sounds perfect for us. We are not looking for activities...just a restfull summer in a beautiful surrounding.
