In Brief

Wasco County commissioners approved nearly $885,000 in matching funds to secure a $1 million Oregon state grant for the 48-site Oak Ranch RV Park. The 154-acre parcel west of The Dalles was purchased in August 2022 for $1.5 million.

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 land was acquired from the Bert Hodges family in August 2022 for $1.5 million.

Plans include 48 full-hookup RV sites, a bicycle camp, accessible restrooms and showers, and dark-sky-compliant lighting. 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.
