Bull Prairie Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Heppner Ranger District of the Umatilla National Forest in eastern Oregon, about 10 miles from the town of Heppner. It sits next to Bull Prairie Lake, a 28-acre lake stocked annually with trout, and is a community favorite for family reunions, social events and recreation. The campground has vault toilets and offers potable water. Garbage service is no longer available, so visitors must pack out all trash and dispose of it at home. The paved paths along the lake are family-friendly and wheelchair accessible, and they work well for jogs, bicycle rides, picnicking and leisure time. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Long Creek weather station show July highs around 84°F with only about four wet days, while winter brings highs near 40°F and a few snowy days each month. ATV riding is not allowed at Bull Prairie Campground, and the Morrow/Grant County OHV Park lies nearby. Bull Prairie Campground (north) is just 0.1 mile away, and Fairview Campground and Tamarack Cabin are both within about 7 miles.
