ScoutThis is a quiet and peaceful CG for boondocks. $25 for 1 night, 2 nights available without online booking. Lake is pretty when full.
TravelerQuick and convenient. Right off of main rd. Plenty off spots to park. Only reason got 4 stars was someone was running their generator all night
TravelerJust a little pull thru right off Eagle Crest, close enough to the trailhead to walk to use their bathrooms if needed. Quiet and safe, no amenities.
RangerI haven’t camped here in summer before, but am loving the experience. Lots of boaters, families, jet skis. Lots of fun happening. Great dog park. Beautiful views on the west side.
ScoutLots of open sites, but a little pricey. $21 a night! No water. They do have an outhouse and a dumpster for trash. Bring your own TP!
ScoutSmall campground, pretty quiet. Nice to have hook ups. Nice beach along Deschutes channel, but didn’t swim. Twin lakes was nicer for swimming and playing. The store and resort employees were lovely and helpful.
Sites were pretty dusty- which - yes we’re camping, but it was a lot and got everywhere. Bathrooms were pretty dirty.
GuideCampground is easy to get to, entrance is steep but easily doable in a car, wouldn't suggest taking a trailer in as it's pretty narrow and one road for in and out, it does have a loop at the end. Some of the sites are super close together and not much undergrowth so would be good for people traveling together. Other sites are more secluded and private. Very pretty and shaded back in there and also close to the river so you get the sound if you're in one of the riverside sites. There's a good swimming hole if you follow the river towards the reservoir. Camp hosts stay in the French Pete campground down the road and our second night there drove by and asked if we needed any firewood, very friendly! We stayed a Sunday-Tuesday and our second night/day there there was only 1 other site occupied
TravelerI stayed here for a week and it was the best! If you drive past all the campsites and go over the bridge take a right, there are so many spots available on that road and all have their own access to the river. I stayed at almost every spot there just to check out the different areas of the river. Only downside is a lot of the sites had toilet paper everywhere so you know those areas weren’t the cleanliness. Idk why people can’t clean up after themselves especially with a dumpster at the entrance of the road and there was also a bathroom near the dumpster. Please clean up after yourself!
TravelerWe stayed overnight on site #4. No shade during the day, but sites #1-3 should have more shade. Flat ground for our large tent and a nice picnic table with a view of the river. Quiet and peaceful for no fuss camping. Paved parking and a small staircase down to the site. The reservoir was great to swim in. Wonderful campsite for a quick July trip. Note: Very little Verizon cell service - hard to get texts out.
