"We found a spot to put our tent (right off the road) but still a safe distance away from it and was able to watch and hear this clear blue river while we fell asleep."
"Absolutely a beautiful spot tucked away! Off the main road with a few dispersed spots spaced out very nicely. Not the easiest access to the river but if able easy enough."
$28 - $58 / night
"Ice cold McKenzie River water to watch & listen, lull you to sleep, with old growth forest & trails to walk/bike."
"Paradise in Oregon (located in Oregon, DUH!), is one of my favorite places to go. I have been there twice- One with family and the other time with college friends."
$38 - $550 / night
"Rv sites available close to the lodge along the river and up the hill away from the water. Both sites have pools filled by the springs."
"Situated on the McKenzie River and near the McKenzie River Trail (MRT), this spot has it all."
"Oregon State Parks have the best website, brochures and information so you can often drive in totally prepared. USFS has some major catching up to do."
"Room for several tents on nice flat spots, not too close to adjacent sites with drinking water just across from parking. The slow moving creek means mosquitos are pretty bad at dusk, but bearable."
$23 - $48 / night
"I go to this spot every year and it is amazing how the water level in Blue river reservoir fluctuates."
"Mona was about 2 hr 45m drive from Portland. Our campsite was shaded with a fire pit, bench and plenty of room for tents and gear. Dog friendly, which was a big perk."
$20 - $24 / night
"We had direct access to the lake, but it looks like if the lake was low it would be a climb to get down to the water. No electricity or water so bring all that."
$22 - $44 / night
"Ranger review of Banner and Oak Baseball hats at French Pete campground, Oregon."
"Tucked back in the deep forest lays old french pete, everything’s covered in moss and old growth, the camp host was so sweet and was willing to help with anything. The bathrooms were cleaned nightly!"
$23 - $48 / night
"We stayed two nights tucked right up against the Mckenzie river. It was beautiful and peaceful."
$18 / night
"Hard to find because there is limited signage around the reservoir. Once you pass the hot springs, travel over the bridge and the campground will be located on the right side."
"The river it’s on isn’t accessible to swim at, but there are animals who drink and catch fish out of it!!"
$25 / night
"Site #1 walk up only, creek side of the road #2 compact, on creek #3 compact, on creek #4 nice one! Near bridge across river and swimming hole."
"Drive down to gravel Road a little ways and across the bridge and you can find primitive sites available. Outhouses. Campsites are right next to the river"
TravelerCampsite with 3 wooden benches plus a campfire, also a creek with a short walking distance from the camp. The drive to the spot is on a gravel road wasn’t a problem for our 2009 Volkswagen van, beware of heavy mosquitos in the summer, once we made a fire they went away, lots of dead branches in the area for easy firewood.
LegendWe stayed here last year and liked it so much we came back this year. Lovely June weather under aromatic Ponderosa Pines. Quiet. Large sites. Simple trails right from the campsite. 30 minutes from Bend. Showers and flush toilets.
GuideI read a few mixed reviews from others saying they experienced shady traffic, trash, and a lot of long term campers which made us skeptical to try here. But, honestly, it’s a really convenient area that’s clean, and if anyone here is a long-term camper, they don’t make it obvious. Lots of campsites along the road. Some are more accessible than others for large or low clearance vehicles. I highly suggest arriving early in the morning to secure a spot. It’s a very popular area. We secured our spot Thursday morning around 9 am and by the evening after we returned from town, it was essentially full. We drove pretty far down the road and there’s a lot of campers here. Bike trails in this area as well so there’s a lot of bikers. But, overall very peaceful.
GuideEverything is paved, the sites have nice clean picnic tables, and plenty of green Lush grass. The showers were clean and had good water pressure. I only stayed here one night but I would come again. There are a lot of permanent campers here but everything is kept clean, there is no junk. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. And they have delicious ice cream cones for a buck!
LegendThis is the happiest place on RV Earth! What a beautiful park! Amazing trees of every kind and flowers and bushes all cared for meticulously. Great wi-fi. Management is exceptional! Indoor pool, multiple laundry rooms, rec room - all spotlessly clean. Close easy access to freeway but minimal noise. Full hookups of course, Wi-Fi is strong and fast, 48 channels of sharp cable TV picture. We are putting this on our A list and will return whenever we're passing through this area again. Two bars of 5G Verizon. Beautiful city soccer fields and park just outside the entrance to the park. Great place to walk and relax. Recommend.
ScoutThis is a nice small campground right on the Falls River. Sites are a little uneven and there is just a pit toilet. For the price of $21 I would like there to be a water spout.
TravelerPulled in here after a long night driving with a cranky toddler around 3am and found a perfect lil site to toss the tent up quick and sleep until morning. When the sun rose we realized what an amazing spot we had, right on the river with lots of room for the little to run around. Stayed the whole day and enjoyed soaking our feet in the cool creek.
ScoutGreat spot but they messed up our campsite assignment and it was taken by someone. They advised that campsites nearby are filled with mosquitos but we still just took one since nobody answered the phone, neither a call box. It was fine, only in the morning once we filled water tank and turned on engine, it was crazy — sworn of mosquitos attacked us.
Spot itself is nice, firepit with table. The hookup plugs were really far away though from the spot itself.
GuideWe enjoyed our stay at the campground, there are a couple good hiking trails and the river was beautiful. We were next to the showers and bathrooms. some of the sites are rather far away from the faculties.
