Deschutes National Forest Dispersed Camping Spot - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

The golf course across the road has made it impossible to camp in this location! It use to be a cool place to hanger out but no more!

Just updating the reviews to let everyone know its still closed.

August 2022, closed to campers for restoration

Loved this spot. Can be very secluded depending on how far in you go. Went in late June and it was a high of 96. Cowboy camped with the dog and he loved it. Shade depending on your site.

Stayed in a pull out with big rig. Was quiet and lovely. Lots of mountain bikers. Was perfect

Driving in there are plenty of spots to pull off the main road. The spots are spacious. Only stayed for a night. There weren't any signs anywhere.

Great dispersed camping spot, close to Bend with full cell service. 25 mins to jump into Bend for breakfast on the way back to Portland. Loud Coyotes.

In the beginning of the forest there is a sign stating: no camping beween river and road 41. So we camped in a different spot outside road 41, not at this place; but there are plenty of spots. Some roads at the river doesn't exist anymore

We had a wonderful time at this campsite, kinda hard to find as there aren’t really any signs or ‘designated’ spots like we are used to, just random pull off spots in the woods. It was about a 20-30 min drive from bend. Super quiet and relaxing. We had cell service and there was a lot of wood lying around to snag for a campfire.

Nice wooded spot. nothing super special, but free and close to Bend

Bunch of access to mountain biking, climbing, hiking, and beer (since you are in bend!) also check out fr4601 off of skyliners dr in bend for free sights

It’s free camping so who can complain! Pull off from the main road onto a dirt single lane road. Many “campsites” along the road. No amenities. Quiet place.

It's one giant lightly tree'ed forest that is just land that has been manipulated by campers to become a campground. Free for everyone and it's very dispersed. Perfect for just a quick night stay on your way though. Only land is provided, no water, etc.

Clean and very scenic view coming in. We tent camped for four days and really enjoyed the quiet here. Not a lot of people which was great in the summer. Nothing bad to say about it. We would definitely return again in the summer but probably RV insurers of tent camp.

We found this place traveling back to San Francisco after a long week exploring the Pacific Northwest. Rv sites can be reserved with water and electric hookups, but we were late getting there and the only site available was a cabin. The cabin sites were cute, clean, well maintained. The campground had clean free showers, a recreation field for games, a community rec hall with tables, microwaves, coffeee pot etc...it is nestled along the Deschutes River and close to a local climbing spots. I am a rookie climber so I liked that there was a spot to top rope and my kids loved swimming in the river. Close to bend for shopping, breweries and lots of coffee shops.
