Camping Suggtions for Baker City, Oregon area please

Plan on a month long RV trip from Salem, Or. First stop would be around Baker city, Oregon for one night. Don't want to stay at a year a round homeless RV camp. Don't need the Hilton either. Just a clean spot were I don't have to stand guard all night. Have a 34 foot fifth wheel. Any suggestions please.

    We just did that the end of this summer. Drove from Salem/keizer to Union Creek CG for two nights. Hard to beat it for the price. IIRC we got a Senior pass discount.

    We have stayed in 2 different parks in Baker. Mt. View is a nice park, always a good stay. A-Frame Rv park also not a bad choice.

    Salem is the drug capital of Oregon. Baker City is a nice place and very rural. It will give you no problems.

    This May we stayed 2 nights at Mt. View RV Pk, 2845 Hughes Ln, Baker City, OR 97814. On the edge of town, clean, good staff, level sites, decent shade trees. There were a few worker guys across from us: out early and back at the end of their work day. We felt safe here and no problem returning if we pass through Baker City agIn.

    Which route are you taking? Are you going straight east on OR 22 and US 20 or around the interstates?
