The elevation is 4,050 ft.

John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is 33 miles from campground.

This pack it in, pack it out campground, located next to the man-made 
Bull Prairie Lake, has two overlapping loops in a stand of Ponderosa 
pine, Western larch (Tamarack) and Douglas fir. The campsites have no 
views of the lake or they are limited.  The campground is convenient 
to the Morrow County OHV Park and the steelhead trout fishing 
opportunities on the John Day River.  Bull Prairie Lake appears to be 
a nice place to canoe.  All the "dedicated" tent sites are located on 
the southwest side of the lake in a "semi-dispersed" area.  The campsites 
on the other side of lake are more open and have a pleasant view of the 
Lake.  Family-friendly and wheelchair-friendly paved paths along the lake

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 6,100 ft.

The elevation is 6,100 ft.

This pack it in, pack it out campground, located on the banks of 
the attractive, glacial-carved Olive Lake, has two unnamed sections.  
Lodgepole pine along with other conifers provide ample shade.  One 
section is a loop that includes campsites, a boat ramp, and day use 
area.  Most sites in this section have some view of the Lake but minimum 
privacy.  The other section stretches out 0.5 miles alongside Olive Lake 
and has parallel parking style pull-throughs. Most campsites in this 
section come in pairs with good separation providing excellent privacy. 
(For example, the last site in this section is on the Lake's edge and 
completely private -- a real honeymoon suite.)  This section also has 
most of the walk-in tent sites.  Olive Lake, used to power the Fremont 
Powerhouse from the early 1900s until 1967, appears to be a good canoe 
lake.  Olive Lake offers many opportunities for wildlife viewing, 
particularly a nesting pair of osprey that return annually.

Possible day trips are the Fremont Powerhouse and the old mining town of 
Granite.
