Let the sounds of the babbling North Fork of the Malheur River lull you to sleep at one of the riverside campsites of Chukar Park Campground. This primitive facility offers 19 campsites, seven of which are situated along the shady, lush riparian vegetation. Popular as a base camp with birders, hunters and fishers as well as those venturing through along nearby highway 20, Chukar Park has campsites with partial shade and in full sun. Note that the high-standard, graded county road leading to the campground may form washboard ridges between gradings.

  • No cell phone is coverage available in the campground but some carrier coverage is available in nearby Juntura.
  • This is a primitive campground; no hookups or RV dump station is present.
