In Brief

Wasco County commissioners approved nearly $885,000 in matching funds for a $1 million Oregon state grant to build a 48-site RV park. The 154-acre project near I-84 exit 82 is expected to generate up to $160,000 annually.

Wasco County commissioners have approved nearly $885,000 in matching funds to secure a $1 million Oregon state grant for the construction of the Oak Ranch RV Park. The approximately 154-acre site is located west of The Dalles, near Interstate 84 exit 82.

The project includes 48 full-hookup RV sites, a bicycle camp, accessible restrooms and showers, and dark-sky compliant lighting. The land was purchased from the Bert Hodges family in August 2022 for $1.5 million. The park is projected to generate between $101,000 and $160,000 in annual revenue starting in fiscal year 2028, with a nightly rate of $55 and 40% occupancy.

Public hearings at the July 1 commission meeting showed strong support, with speakers noting a shortage of short-term RV sites.
