Copperfield Park was built in 1965 and extensively remodeled in 1989. The park is situated on the old town site of Copperfield, Ore., a mining community known in the early 1900s as the rowdiest town in Oregon. Fire destroyed the town in August 1915.
Copperfield Park is located downstream of Oxbow Dam on the Oregon side of the Snake River. The park has 62 recreational vehicle sites with water, electricity, fire pits, and picnic tables. There are 10 tent sites with picnic tables, barbecue stands, and some mature trees. It also offers a convenient RV dump station, extra vehicle parking spaces, handicapped accessible restrooms with showers, and a large, grassy picnic area adjacent to the Snake River.
