INTRODUCTION
The Narrows RV and Jackalope Bar & Grill is a destination for tourists and locals alike due to its proximity to the famous Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, 25± minutes from Burns, Oregon. Additionally, the park serves as a gateway to the recreational haven of the Steens Mountains Wilderness. This 41-space RV park with a small store, café, bar, and gas station provides multiple income streams servicing the tourists of the refuge and local ranchers. The backdrop of one of southeast Oregon’s most scenic areas, with a large concentration of wildlife. That plethora of wildlife draws tourists to the Narrows RV for a steady flow of transient renters of the RV spots and customers of the Jackalope Bar & Grill and other businesses.
Narrows RV and Jackalope Bar & Grill create a clean, laid-back, community-like atmosphere that is inviting to the guests. While most RV spots are rented to short-term tenants, the park has a handful of full-time residents who enjoy the park throughout the year, including winter when tourism slows. With the clean and well-designed amenities of the park, while offering on-site services such as gas, food, essentials, and recreation, it is possible to compete with parks in Burns for more full-time residents. The park also has one small cabin with no plumbing, which is a consistent earner as well.
The Jackalope Bar & Grill and neighboring bar have an excellent reputation for excellent food (much of it handmade) and a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The grill has also hosted various catered meetings for local and out-of-area groups and could be ramped up from its current 5 days a week operation to meet excessive demand.
The Narrows RV and Jackalope Bar & Grill is an excellent candidate for an owner-operator looking for wide open spaces and multiple income streams. With proper management, the possibility of an off-site investor could also be realized. This asset is worth your time and energy.

RECREATION
Princeton, just 30± minutes from Burns in Harney County, is surrounded by Oregon’s high desert, where recreation is defined by wide-open spaces, wetlands, and high desert mountain foothills. Visitors can enjoy hiking, camping, birdwatching, and exploring the renowned Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, a worldclass destination for migratory bird viewing. The scenic landscapes also offer opportunities for photography, stargazing, and quiet escapes into nature, making this region a gateway to outdoor adventure.
The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is not the only natural attraction in the area; less than an hour south, you will find the Steens Mountain Wilderness. Known for its rugged beauty, Steens Mountain rises out of the Alvord Desert, offering a range of activities including hiking, backpacking, camping, sightseeing, hunting, and fishing. The Steens Mountain is home to wild horses, along with elk, pronghorn antelope, big horn sheep, and pumas.
Hunting and fishing are deeply rooted in the culture of Princeton and Burns. The region is recognized as one of Oregon’s premier big-game destinations, with healthy herds of mule deer, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, and elk that draw hunters from across the Northwest. Expansive public lands and limited-entry controlled hunts provide opportunities for trophy-class animals, while surrounding wetlands make waterfowl hunting a seasonal highlight. Upland bird hunting— chukar, pheasant, and quail—adds variety and extends the season for sportsmen. Anglers find plentiful fishing in local rivers, reservoirs, and lakes, with trout and bass providing consistent catches.
Together, these opportunities showcase why the area has long been a destination for sportsmen and women: abundant wildlife, varied terrain, and the chance to experience Oregon’s rugged high-desert heritage in its purest form.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIES
The Malheur Wildlife Refuge reportedly receives 65,000-100,000 visitors a year. The majority of visitors are wildlife watchers (specifically bird watchers) and photographers. Burns/Hines is 25± minutes away and has a combined population of 4,300± residents in the city limits. The community is known as a gateway for abundant outdoor recreation, as it is the last stop before Malheur Wildlife Refuge and the Steens Mountains, the Great Basin, and Alvord Desert. These areas offer hunting, fishing, exploring, stargazing, mountain biking, birding, and endless camping opportunities. While no data has been collected on the visitor flow through the Burns area (outside of the data of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge), anecdotal evidence is substantial. Burns is also the midway point between Bend and Boise, often used as a pit stop or overnight break for the trip.
LOCATION
Princeton is located about 35 miles southeast of Burns along Oregon Highway 78. Burns is the central hub for services, shopping, and access to nearby recreation areas. Together, these communities reflect a lifestyle rooted in independence, outdoor connection, and relatively affordable living. The combination of affordable housing, open landscapes, and access to both local services and outdoor recreation makes the Burns–Princeton area appealing to those who value rural living, community ties, and the slower pace of life that characterizes Oregon’s high desert.
CLIMATE
The high desert climate has four distinct seasons. Summers are typically warm and dry, with daytime highs in the 80s and 90s, though evenings cool quickly. Winters are cold, with temperatures frequently dropping below freezing and occasional snowfall. Spring and fall bring mild, variable weather, with crisp mornings, cool nights, and comfortable daytime temperatures. Precipitation is generally low throughout the year, averaging less than 12 inches annually, with most moisture arriving as snow or rain during the winter and early spring.

WATER RIGHTS
Narrows RV and Jackalope Bar & Grill have two wells to serve the property. The main domestic well is on the southeast corner of the property. At the well site, an excellent purification system softens, filters, and chlorinates the water to ensure quality. Additional water filtration is done at the Grill. A second well is used for landscaping irrigation.
Narrows RV and Jackalope Bar & Grill is an opportunity to capitalize on one of the draws of outdoor recreation of the Maulher National Wildlife Refuge and the surrounding public lands. The area is one of the most desirable for birders, hunters, fishermen, hikers, and explorers of the Northwest. And being the only lodging possibility in a 26± mile radius and 6± mins from the Maulher Wildlife Refuge gives the Narrows an excellent leg up on competition, especially with the additional services provided by the store, grill, bar, and fuel sales. And with long-term demand in the county for longterm RV tenants, this could be an excellent investment.
