The Narrows RV Park

Stayed September 2015 on the way from Idaho to Southern Oregon. Rate is with Good Sam discount. I had noticed this park during a previous trip when I had stayed at Crane Hot Springs and I am so glad I reserved a spot for this trip. This was the least expensive park I've ever stayed at and one of the nicest!!!

Driving to it you may feel like you are driving out to the middle of nowhere but trust me it is worth it. An easy 20 or so miles from Burns, OR. There are a number of attractions nearby the closest being Malheur Wildlife Refuge (amazing bird watching). What a pleasant surprise to drive in and find gas pumps, a store, a restaurant and bar. The staff was amazing and friendly and after a super long and super HOT day driving across the desert it was so nice to have them literally walk us to our site. We had pull through with free wifi, cable TV, electric, sewer, water, pad with picnic table and fire pit. Each site also has a tree (small but mighty). Right along the highway however it isn't a main thoroughfare so that wasn't a problem. Site was perfectly level and the park was spotless. Did not utilize the showers or bathrooms.

They also have an area where they have a bonfire and socializing some evenings. Very cool.

Great stopover and if I were a bird watcher wanting to spend time at Malheur and see some of the other sights around the area (Frenchglen, the round barn, etc.) this would be my RV park of choice.

Camp hosts were all very polite and friendly. Walked us directly to our site, which was a nice sized pull-through. Site was very level, and long enough that we didn't need to disconnect to stay there. Small trees, green grass, and picnic table at every site. Power was consistent, & water pressure was great. We had full hookups. Campground had gasoline & diesel pumps, as well as they sold propane. Prices were a little higher than we usually pay, but sometimes any fuel price is better than risking running out. Their camping supply store covered several items that might be necessary in an out of the way place, and were very reasonably priced. We did not use the showers nor the laundry room. This campground is reasonably close to the Steen Mountain loop, and if you stay here, you simply must take a few hours and take that drive. Absolutely stunning scenery there. We drove our quads directly from our campsite to the west on some gravel and dirt roads, and had an enjoyable day riding. Even saw 3 herds of wild horses, totaling more than 100. Cell service was not so good with Sprint. We stayed here in our 2017 Stealth Toyhauler. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here as we needed to do laundry, dump, and fill up.

Once settled we did some laundry and went to the office to see about the wildlife refuge up the road. The owners are amazing and so helpful.

One of the staff was super kind and accommodating, the other should not work with the public, and made you want to go elsewhere.

Cute little store with basic items, a coffee shop, and small cafe. We did not eat, but did grab a few items from the store, and coffee in the morning before we headed out.

They do offer free wifi, but the signal is very poor and only useable if you are right by the building being eaten by mosquitos. Very poor phone signal as well. That said, you are in the middle of nowhere.

All in all a great spot for getting done what we needed to do. We would go back if we were in the area and needed to have hook ups and laundry facilities.

If you like the Eastern Oregon desert and need a great place to stay with full hookups, nice spots, restaurant and store, friendly staff, and nice new owners, this should be your choice.

My wife and I decided to enjoy some time out and about Steens Mountain and used The Narrows as a jumping off point for a good part of our stay. Staff is very friendly, the new owners are helpful, and the restaurant food is fine enough. They have a store, gas and propane, so this is also a great spot for getting provisions for some dry camping and for coming back to empty the tanks and reset.

We will be back.

This is a great place, whether you are motoring through or here to explore the Malheur ecosystem. My second stay here( last was in 2017). Staff are very welcoming and accommodating.After a long day of travel this is the place to park and kink back. There is lots to explore with this as a jump off spot. I highly recommend!

Only caveat is, cell service is spotty; ATT sucks and Verison is iffy. But this is the nature of Eastern Oregon. BTW, wifi here is good to excellent for an RV park (only 10 other campers here at the moment).

We stayed here during an Oregon Airstream Club rally. The new owners have been here about a year and they are really making an effort. They are very friendly and accommodating, the place is clean and everything works. They catered a dinner for the rally and the food was excellent and very reasonably priced.

It’s very close to the Mahler Wildlife Refuge which is something to see. Also close to Steens Mountain which has some amazing views.

We’ll be returning this Spring when the migratory birds come through.

We were scheduled to stay for a week but are leaving early because our Verizon hotspot doesn't work until the evening and even my phone drops calls. It is a good location for scenic drives in the area and the owner is very nice but we need internet and could never get their internet to work either. There is a restaurant on the premises which must be good because we went there once and couldn't get a seat. One warning: don't take the Princeton Spur road that goes straight east from the park because it's 20 miles of gravel. By the time we got to the park our RV and car were completely caked with dust and we were not allowed to wash it even though I offered to pay extra. Highway 205 next to the park is a good road with great views.

This was a great place to stay for our trip exploring Southeast Oregon! The owners were super nice! The place was very clean! WiFi was not great would be the only downside.
