About Clyde Holliday State Recreation Site
This state recreation site sits beside the John Day River and serves as a base for exploring the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness and the surrounding historic sites. Shaded cottonwood trees line the riverbank, and a nature trail leads to a small pond useful for wildlife watching. Visitors may see elk, mule deer, and, in fall, steelhead heading upriver. The campground offers electric sites, hiker-biker camping, hot showers, and an RV dump station. The park lies between U.S. Route 26 and the river, about 8 miles west of John Day.
