Campground

® Bates State Park Explore the region by bike or boot Bates is an ideal base camp for the outdoor enthusiast. The campground sits between three nearby Wilderness Areas: Strawberry Mountain and Monument Rock to the south and North Fork John Day to the north. Hikers can climb to spectacular views atop Indian Rock and Vinegar Hill, which together make up the summit of the Greenhorn Range of the Blue Mountains. Or, view the landmarks from afar along the more than 3 miles of trails that wind through Bates State Park’s 131 acres. Bates campground is also convenient to the Old West Scenic Bikeway, a 174-mile loop that passes through open sky, rural towns and landmarks such as John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. The park is also on route for cross-country cyclists touring the TransAmerica Trail, which runs along Oregon Highway 7, just a few tire spins away from the park. Smoking in Oregon State Parks is allowed only in personal vehicles, RVs, campsites and portions of day use parks along state highways that are designated as safety rest areas by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Brid -o • Pets must be physically restrained at all times when not Meado wT rail Nort h Tr a i l Fork Tra il ar Creek Trail Cle D ixi eT r  Bates Maintenance Shop ® Campground All sites are 50 feet in length.
