Bend, Oregon

As others have said, this is great if you want to spend time at Smith Rock, especially if the Bivy is closed or full. Campsites are large. For me it was pretty quiet except for the howl of the coyotes in the hills, as the campground wasn't overly full. Toilets' could be better maintained.

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!

Amazing view of the mountains and the lake is beautiful

The coordinates take you to right by the reservoir with one or two spots but if you keep going down the road into the National Forest/Recreation area, (not in towards the reservoir— that road is rough,) there are plenty of spots off the road to camp at. We found a spot to put our tent (right off…

It's old. If you aren't a member you are treated as such. We had called multiple times to try and book and they never would answer. Their is no online portal to book. The old man running the facility is not friendly at all. He tried to turn us away because we were not members until he called an…

It was really fun camping here I went out onto the lake with a kayak and fished didn’t catch anything but it was still fun out there. They also have some trails and lava rocks which was cool to walk on.

Beautiful campsite. Luckily no one reserved the campsites surrounding ours as it would’ve felt really congested. The river is a tiny hike away & the blue pool or hot springs are a short drive away. Host was awesome! 10/10

This is a nice, quiet, and secluded feeling campsite. Though it’s near the 242, the road is not busy. Mostly used by bicycles and during a good chunk of the year there’s a snow gate blocking further up. Shade throughout the day, whispering rapids through the bushes, beautiful sky at night. I wish…

I love the lower campground. The sage-juniper smell is intoxicating. Sites in the C loop can be dusty, but the views are incredible. Most sites in the B and C loop have multiple hammock-ready trees too!

Cove Palisades state park is pretty rad, especially if you’ve got a family! There’s a playground, a fenced in dog park, trail heads, showers, and a cute little camp store. If you’re looking for seclusion, this probably isn’t the park for you. But if you can get roll with the communal feel, Cove…

Love this campground close to Bend, Sunriver and LaPine. Bring your bike and fishing pole.

Warning: gets scorching-hot in high summer!

Great for anyone who loves doing things on the water but be advised, lots of noise from boats when it's busy!

Lovely hiking but limited: there are really only two in total: if you're camping at Deschutes, you can make a lovely 4.5-mile daily…

Nice place

I stayed in the camp on main road near fast moving steam. Traffic sounds could be heard but it wasn't bad even in my tent. Jets overhead not often or bad either. Very clean except one diaper in bushes I picked up so dog wouldn't be tempted. Bike / hike trail next to my camp was used daily by…
