Clyde Holliday State Recreation Site

The recreation site stretches along the John Day River, containing tall cottonwood trees, a nature trail, and multiple campsites spread across the natural terrain.

The recreation area became a state park in 1971 following a land purchase from Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Holliday and received additional land from the Department of Transportation in 1976.

The outdoor amphitheater within the park provides summer programs about local wildlife, geography, and natural features of the John Day River region.

The park maintains 31 electrical sites with water access, offers hot showers, flush toilets, and includes an RV dump station for visitors during the camping season.

Two traditional tepees stand available for overnight stays, accommodating groups of up to eight people, making this the only Oregon state park with reservable tepee camping.
