Arriving, we found a trim, inviting Front Street, Hotel Prairie on the east end. Juniper Dining Room closed Monday and Tuesday. This cornerstone of days gone by is a labor of love. I got a bed and breakfast feeling mixed with vacation stay faborite feeling. There's a community kitchen at the end of the hall - for those awkward Monday and Tuesday morning meals. It is an old hotel, redone well. Our room was quiet, sleep deep. The bathroom had a handicap shower if we were inclined. Our headboard was a reused old door. Very nice. If you are headed through or to Prairie City and day is running low, Try Hotel Prairie. We would again.

Their service is unmatched beds are very comfortable and their lobby is so cozy especially during the winter. The atmosphere is great and the rooms were overall very clean and nice. Also a great dinner spot is the Oxbow that was great dinner. Also recommend going to their little breakfast spot. The waitresses are amazing and so is the food. I would recommend this 10,000 stars.

Its a real treat to be able to camp in a pristine state park that has only been open a month! We…read morestopped here for a few nights of camping on a longer roadtrip. It feels INCREDIBLY isolated. Out of cell service and quite far from any kind of services. The campground itself is quite small and open - but with big grassy pads for tenting and great star gazing. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. There was no camp host but we were able to buy a bundle of firewood. Pit toilets in the bathrooms and a day use area with a power outlet where we charged our phones. The site has some interesting history, previously being the site of a sawmill. There are some placards around about this. We spent a bit of time exploring the trails - well maintained and pretty sufficient for a family with small kids. My kids also enjoyed seeing the pond and dam.

Parking lot is pretty claustro, but they do have a nice place to sit in the back and have a smoke if you want. Very clean, looks like homebrew remodeling and maintenance but both done at least with pride. It's very easy to miss if you're headed east on the highway, because it kind of sneaks up on you and looks like it might or might not be open. In a former timber town with limited opportunities, closed businesses aren't that rare. We had to double back to it. Not sure how it is in the summer, but if you like sleeping in a cold room, this was that rare place (in April) where partner did not immediately turn on the AC full bore. No need to do that this time, nor even to mess with the temp. Not sure how well the warming works because we never wanted it. If there was a major frustration, I'd say it was thin walls. All the signs (too many) that tell you what you can and can't do include some that specify quiet hours, and that's fine, but it does leave you turning the TV down very low because you've been hearing the neighbors' TV for hours.

Basic bathroom... a pedestal sink and toilet... no place to put a small toiletries bag. The fridge didn't work, no clock or clock radio, and a heater that would come on every 20 minutes, warm the room to 80, then shut off til it hit 60, then repeat... at 50 decibels. And you could see the parking lot through the crack in the door when shut. All this for $108 including tax and the $15 pet fee. My wife said "at least it's clean", and it was clean enough.

Manicured lawns, sites that have hedges around them and very clean bathrooms and showers. Firewood for sale. A book exchange and a nice trail along the river. For those people it's five stars. For those who don't camp the issue is mosquitoes. There is a swampy area a nearby and if there is no breeze especially in the evening, they can be overwhelming. I am from Alaska and the mosquito is the state bird. Here they are equally impressive. If you have screens and bug dope, they are manageable because it's mainly in the evening they are a pain. If you don't, prepare it's uncomfortable and those campers would say two stars.

But the toilets were the cleanest I've EVER experienced at any campground, anywhere! Aside from their immaculate cleanliness, they even SMELLED pleasant! I mean, I would literally have felt comfortable sleeping in them, even. I gave it 4 stars because it's kinda close to the highway...but that stretch of the 395 isn't very frequently traveled (or at least it wasn't at the time of my visit, in mid-July 2015)...so it's not really bothersome. Just not as scenic/remote as I like. But really, a nice place overall.
