About Cutsforth ParkCutsforth Park is located about 20 miles southeast of Heppner, Oregon on the Willow Creek Road (Blue Mountain Scenic Byway) at the boundary of the 1.4 million-acre Umatilla National Forest. There's a dining hall with kitchen and fireplace, a picnic area and gazebo for large and small groups, a children's playground with play equipment, restroom facilities with showers, trails for hiking, horse pens, horseshoe pits and both a stocked pond and a stream for fishing. There are full and partial RV hookup sites, tent sites, and two cabins. There is no freeway nearby so tent campers should find it quiet. We are not restricted to certain areas of the park, but are free to walk our llamas anywhere. Aside from the tent camping areas, two cabins are available nearby. These cabins are 10' X 16' with bunks (bring your own bedroll or linen for the mattress). There is no electricity or running water in the cabins but they do have propane heat and lights. (Note: The propane heater can heat the cabin very warm.) Use of the heater or lights requires bringing your own propane bottle or renting one on site ($5/day). Cabin rental is $37.50 for the weekend. See photographs taken in March 2010. See http://www.morrowcountyparks.org/cutsforthpark.asp for more details and photographs. Campsite Map. Area Map.
