Traveling to Hart Mountain
![](http://d2k8htqlk8yn1a.cloudfront.net/img/flags-png/us.png)
We have both been enjoying our time at home, with plenty to do and lots of inside and outside space in which to enjoy each other's company. Still, both of us have been getting a bit antsy and when Mo said last week, "I'm really getting ready for a trip!" I excitedly agreed. "Let's try Hart Mountain", I exclaimed.
Hart Mountain is in Eastern Oregon, is several hours from home here in Grants Pass. We have camped in a tent in the campground at the Hart Mountain Refuge, and have boondocked in the area in the MoHo. However, the road to the main campground is still dirt and washboards for more than 20 miles, so we don't take the MoHo up there.
There are so many quickly changing rules about when and where people can camp that we thought it might be best to try to boondock in the place we stayed in 2013, just a big wide equipment type place in the middle of nowhere but not officially on BLM land. With the internet proclaiming that renting an RV is the best way to vacation right now, we weren't quite sure that there would be an empty space for the upcoming weekend.
I looked up the information about the Hart Mountain Campground, which is actually on the refuge and found out that our little campground at the end of the pavement on the way to the refuge, just inside the boundary is open! Yippee! There are no reservations, but we will leave early enough to arrive mid day and are reasonably certain that there will be a spot for us. So looking forward to some MoHo time. More to come.
These photos are the ones we took back in May of 2013, the last time we camped and when we found the newly built Hart Mountain Campground but we didn't camp there. Looking forward to it. At the time, it looked like a great spot. Dry camping and no hookups, but somewhat safer at this time than trying to boondock in lands that may or may not be open.En savoir plus
Two to Travel Yay ... you’re going camping. So glad to hear you’re getting out. Like you we have more than plenty to keep us occupied at home without getting bored, but that doesn’t scratch the travel itch. There’s a boondocking place we plan to check out near Royal Gorge, but Mui wanted to make sure all’s functioning before we head out there.
