Antelope Market

I stayed for a night in one of the A frames cabin in January. Despite being 25 degrees at night the cabin was so warm and cozy. There were lamps, coffee, water, and a mini fridge. The bathrooms are being built, but in the meantime there is a porta-potty which is the cleanest porta-potty I’ve ever seen! It was all very comfortable and welcoming. The town is quiet and the stars and moon were beautiful. I would definitely stay here again. The town of Antelope has an old-time charm of the west that is like nothing else. Also, the food truck open Friday-Sunday has the best burgers!

Okay, really, it's not quite at five stars yet, but it will be! My husband I stayed here in June 2024 - both of us on motorcycles. We also tent camped here back in 2012 and, believe me, it's an incredible improvement! The grounds are very well-kept and the town is SO QUIET at night - no traffic at all. The honor fridge is well-stocked, but you will want to stop in a town before you get here to shop for meals you might want to bring or cook and for beer or wine (this will change once the market opens). The A-frame mini-cabins are going to be amazing to stay in - if you have camped in Scandinavia, you'll know how awesome those can be. We paid via Venmo. Were joined by a bicycling couple later in the evening. We all really appreciated the lawn furniture and hammock! Sure, you can camp in Shaniko for free, in the open field next to the public bathrooms, but we knew it was going to be a crazy windy night, and we also wanted shade, which Shaniko doesn't have. Really happy about this new campground and all their plans for it.

I tent camped at the RV Park in Antelope last week while on a Bikepacking trip across central Oregon. It was a super welcoming spot and there was plenty of space to camp on the grass. I had a spectacular sunset view out the door of my tent. Antelope is super quiet and made for a nice nights sleep. They had self serve water and cold drinks available along with a charging station for your devices AND e-bikes. The owners are very cyclist friendly and cyclists themselves. They are currently rehabbing the Market so soon there will be some additional food options.

There is no ‘Market’. There is an RV/camp park out back of what use to be (and might be again someday) the ‘Market’. This review is for bikepackers that are looking for a 'stock up' point. There's only water in Antelope for now, Sept. 2023 (apparently). Check by the port-o-potty for the honor refrigerator. We couldn't find it.

Very happy to have a place out here for a quick shaded siesta, fill up on water and have some cold beverage options! Had it been later in the day, I would have taken advantage of their tent camping options.

I'm also giving this a 4 instead of 5 for the potential that's here and also the kindness of the owners. Despite the fact that we weren't staying, just spotted for a picnic, they were very gracious and welcoming. Absolutely would come here to stay. We got to see one of the A frames as well- nicely done and afforably priced!
