Crooked River Ranch RV Park

Although it's in the middle of the desert, this campground has amazingly soft parade grounds for for tons of outdoor games. The trails around the golf course and the views of the canyon and river are amazing. There is local restaurants and taphouses within a few minutes drive. There is a pool available to you for your stay that has a snack bar directly adjacent to it. If you are bringing an RV or travel trailer, I recommend bringing blocks for your stabilizers as some of the sites have a decent slope to them.

Its quite expensive for what its offered. In addition to the park fees you have to be for showers as well. Also we were friendly advised to leave the whole property after checkout. We parked the car on a normal parking place after checkout just to take a last walk on a trail, although there was enough space since a lot visitors left already and it was quite empty. So they take it quite serious with the rules. Also there is a golf resort next bye and not many trees so you feel quite exposed.

Our family members have been coming here for years. Well maintained grounds, pool access, golf course, playground, grass. Full hook ups. Coin Laundry. Close to Smith Rock and other Central Oregon adventures. The only drawback is coin showers, so bring quarters or use your own.

This is a nice campground, clean, quiet and lots of things to do. Folks in office were very nice and helpful. Sites were good, gravel and sand. We had a end site so we had lots of room. Be sure to checkout the overlook at the campground,it’s worth the short hike. Sandbagged saloon is great for a bite to eat and within walking distance of the campground.

Great place for families and large groups. Pool for the kids. Golf for Mom and Dad. Restaurants on site as well. Central Oregon Views can’t be beat!

We stayed here for 2 days. It’s an incredible place with lots of activities to do around it (hiking, golfing, cute towns to shop in) My only issue was the bathrooms were clean and great but you needed quarters to take a shower. I don’t carry quarters and usually only use them for laundry but add the shower fee to that it was easily 6-8$ in quarters and no one would give me that. There is no quarter machine on the premises. Otherwise it was awesome.

FEATURES:

-RV's back up against the canyon rim and have a beautiful backdrop.

-RV sites are full hook up and come with a picnic table.

-Tent sites surround a nice green space with a covered gazebo patio.

-There's a nice walking trail (Matt's Trail) that takes you around the campground along the canyon edge (level: easy). There's also a BLM trail (Crooked River Trail) you can access from the campground that takes you down to the water (level: moderate to hard).

-There's a well-built overlook patio to sit on and enjoy the view.

CONS:

-no wood or charcoal fires. Only propane grills.

-Weak wifi. Couldn't even grab it with our extender.

Great stay. Very quiet at night due to it being off the road. Being by the canyon is peaceful and scenic. The Terrebonne area provides a ton of hiking activities. Smith Rock State Park is just down the road.
