    Link Creek

    A Party around Suttle Lake, OR

    Link Creek, Suttle Lake has a unique explosion of camp sites all around. We happen to be on the west side of the lake with a handful of friends while our other handful went glamping in one of the several cabins on the east side. Day to day, we had a blast swimming, boating and creating trails of floaties (this was not a hiking trip). We rode canoes on the lake and didn't feel like the canoe/boat relationship hit heads. Our one complaint about the west side is the stinky toilets but has any campsite made non-stinky toilets? Hardly something reasonable to complain about. If you love lodging or pitching a tent. Suttle Lake has tons of trails and lake fun. Fishing on the east side is better than the west. I talked to a few fishing shops and friends to find that out. We took advantage of the lodge and restaurant for our friends birthday. We managed to pack in pinatas, rentals of all types of flotation devices, full bar, delicious food and friendly staff. We're only hoping we can get a spot for next year before it sells out!

    Happy Camping!

    Whitcomb Creek County Park

    Quiet even on a busy holiday weekend

    Stayed in Yurt #2 in the Yurt village on Fathers Day weekend. There was also a fishing tournament this weekend, so the park was completely full. The Yurt Village stayed very quite. Most noise was the Trucks/Boat coming and leaving the boat ramp which is about 400yds away. 

    Yurt #2 & 3 are deluxe yurts. All this means is you get a larger deck and propane firepit. To use the firepit you need to bring your own propane, large 20lb style. The Yurts have solar lights inside and out, not sure how long they run, but they lasted us a weekend with conservative use. There is 2 pit style bathrooms in the yurt village. Bathrooms are located at the parking lot.

    The yurt village is a ways from the RV/Tent sites. Not a quick or easy walk. 

    Parking at the yurt village is a little walk from #2 and #3. Best to bring a wagon or such to help transport. Its about 100yd walk each way. 

    There are 3 beds, one full side bottom with a twin bunk on top and one full size futon. There is a dining table and 4 chairs. There is no running water, bring your own water. I saw a fountain near the parking lot, but did not test it. 

    While it says no pets, one other yurt had two well behaved dogs. The park knew and didnt stop them, so make your own decision with your pets but dont ruin it for others please.

    Weather was pretty good for us. No mosquitoes, though lots of nats but able to sit outside all day without being bothered too much.

    Not your beach lame

    There are two Devil’s lake campground. This one in particular is along the subalpine Devil’s Lake of central Oregon (NOT the beach) - sorry, no yurts, cabins, or marketplaces here.

    It’s pretty amazing, though, as long as you plan for it! There are no drive-up sites, they’re all walk-ins. This is the access point for local trails like the PCT and South Sister summit trail.

    Just a day at the lake is great though! I’ve spent a lot of time scrambling around this area and camping at Devil’s lake. Definitely worth it for a slightly more “rustic” adventure!

    Crescent Lake Campground

    This is one of 3 campgrounds on the lake and by far the busiest. Sites are larger than normal so you aren't sitting onto of each other. Some sites overlook the lake and the rest sit in a very relaxing forest setting. There are yurts on site that are really nice.

    Camp host is awesome (Summer of 2020) and bathrooms (outhouses) are cleaned every morning. Potable water available all over the campground.

    Would Definitely Recommend!

    I had amazing time here this last Labor Day weekend with all my friends! I haven’t been camping in a couple years due to my anxiety after being diagnosed with IBS but this campsite eased my worries and I was finally able to enjoy myself with my friends! My only complaint was that they ran out of toilet paper a lot and it would take a long time for it to get filled and the toilet needs to be cleaned out more often but other than that, no complaints here! If you loved camping at fisherman’s bend, you’ll like it here! While I didn’t see any showers while I was there, the campsite was tidy and the sizes of the sites varied. There were even sites for RV and Yurts you could rent out. The boat dock/swim area isn’t too much further from the campsite. But you won’t get much service if you have TMobile. My friend that has AT&T had one bar but that was about it. I highly recommend and will DEFINITELY be visiting as often as possible! It’s my new favorite campsite!

    Awesome State Park

    This was one of the best days we had in all of Oregon. This state park is right on the Deshutes River and has an awesome network of hike/bike trails. Spaces were easy to get in and out of, all level, and had plenty of room in between sites. Bathrooms were clean and everybody was very friendly. The park was full on the weekend we were there but it didn’t seem crowded. We would come back and stay much longer if we could. Don’t miss this place if you are exploring Oregon.

    Great campground!

    First time camping/visiting this State Park. Beautiful, lots of big pine trees (including the largest known documented Ponderosa Pine in Oregon!), really close to the Deschutes River just north of La Pine, about 35 mins south of Bend, Oregon. Clean, well-equipped, spacious campsites. We stayed in the South Loop, as the other two (North, and Middle) loops were not open yet. The sites are a little close for my taste, but it worked out fine. The bathrooms are push-flush and heated, which was a great perk in 19° weather :) The hosts seemed really nice, and helpful if needed. Great place to stay -highly recommend!

    When I was asked if I wanted to go to Detroit lake, I thought we were going all the way to Michigan! But no this perfect little lake is a peaceful and fun filled getaway. Right in the heart of the Oregon state. Best used for swimming and enjoying friends company, it’s a bit of a drive but it’s so far out of the way, there’s no rush of the city anywhere.

    Stopped here on the way through Oregon. Campground is fairly extensive and has nice wooded sites. Onsite staff very friendly and helpful.

    My only complaint is that it’s very difficult to reach someone via phone to make reservation changes (one time, I had to hold for 59 min). Highly recommend signing up for an account, which allows you to make changes without having to reach their call center

    Excellent staffing and great setting

    We were so lucky to get a last minute spot. The bearded man with a that checked us was full of helpful information. We wanted to stay an extra night, but the camp ground was full. Amy at the front station was such a blessing to help us get another night. She went above and beyond in service. We live in Ca and very rarely see this kind of service. I was told by a friend, you will love the Oregon parks. He was so right.

    Great lakeside sites

    The campground is awesome, and site#17 was pretty good. The weather did not cooperate on this trip...which is Oregon. There is a big slope from the parking pad to the table/fire pit. There is a fairly flat open area for tents, and access to a small private"beach" on the lake. Very doable to get kayaks or paddle boards down. 

    Don't love when the table is between the fire pit and the view... sitting around the fire looking at your stuff is not why we camp with a view of water. Motorized boats allowed on the lake so not as peaceful as some other lakeside campgrounds. 

    Worth trying again:)

    Baker Bay Campgrounds & Marina - a Lane County Park

    Nice family centric campground on Dorena Lake

    The Baker Bay Campground and Marina is a county park outside of Cottage Grove, Oregon. It has a boat launch and boat rentals. There are several huge inflatable water structures in the bay which kids can play on for a fee. The concession stand is currently under construction however there is plenty of green space for picnics. There is a large play structure, horseshoes, and a sand volleyball pit.

    Great site for families with kids.

    Decent main restroom and showers however, the vault toilet near the main camping spots was the WORST I have ever been near. I can't imagine how people near the toilet could stand being there - especially in the heat of the summer.

    Quiet, Beautiful and away from it all!

    This was our first time to La Pine County Park.  Unfortunately it was during the horrible fires of the west coast and Oregon was not spared.  The smoke was thick although not as bad as previous camping locations the day before.  The campground is laid out in a very nice way.  The spaces are not close together and from behind most of them are trails into the woods or down to the Deschutes River.  We had full hookups and stayed for two nights.  There is a dog area about an acre in sized that is fenced in for the dogs to enjoy getting exercise.

    COE Dorena Reservoir Schwarz Campground

    Quiet campground, but watch for Algae

    One option when looking for a campground last minute during the summer close to Eugene, Oregon. This one is not usually very busy during peak season in my opinion.

    This is a primitive campground so no hook ups for your rv. Bring the generator if your needing a power source during the day.

    There are restrooms/ showers on site along with drinking water, a playground, and an rv dump station. Picnic tables and fire pits at each site. Trails are nearby along with a beach/ swimming area at Dorena Lake. Watch for signs of Algae or Swimmers Itch as it has been present the past few years at Dorena Lake.

    Overall its a great last minute campground not far from town ( Cottage Grove- Eugene), but doesn't make my list of top 5 if I can make reservations a head of time.

    Central Oregon Gem

    With the Deschutes River meandering through this campground, a forest of ponderosa pines, miles and miles of bike, horse and hiking trails, plus the largest ponderosa pine in the Oregon, LaPine State Park is a great place to go camping. 

    North Loop is best for tents and small RVs. (Only 20 amp). South and Central are better for big rigs. They also have cabins. 

    Showers are hot and clean. The river is right there! Don't miss the hike to Fall River Falls where the water is so clear, you can see the trout just hanging out by the shore. 

    At 4,000 feet, nights are cold and days clear and bright. The night sky is amazing. Lots to do in the area, or just hang out in the park. 

    AT&T service is better than Verizon, but both will work at various places in the park.

    LaPine State Park Campground

    Very Clean, Easy to get to, Fantastic Deschutes river access

    Lucky enough to score a last minute site on the State Park website.  South #39.

    It's a great spot, don't pass it up.

    A very short walk through the woods will bring you to the banks of the Deschutes for fishing, floating, kayaking, etc.  We found a small sandy beach that was PERFECT for a happy hour!

    Family friendly campground with a center lawn, some folks were playing badminton and frisbee.  Lot's of kids on bikes enjoying the loop and the forest trails.

    Clean bathrooms with running water, and a delightful warm shower to shed some trail dust after a hike.

    Our site was nicely graveled and level with water, a picnic table, and a fire ring.  $32/ night.

    LOTS of campers had dogs with them, sound of kids playing and dogs saying hello started by 8 am.  Doesn't bother me at all, but If you are looking for forest solitude, this might not be your place on a crowded weekend.

    All-in-all, top notch.  Well done Oregon State Parks!

    Round Lake

    Amazing view with quality fishing

    Wow. That’s the first word that came to mind when we rolled up on the lake and saw the view. After a 5 mile gravel road trip that rivaled some of the worst washboard I’ve ever been on, the view was all worth it. Standing directly in front of you is a fantastic view of Three Fingered Jack. Several campsites are available and all are primitive. The lake itself is shallow till about 50 feet out where its a straight drop to a black abyss. Fishing is great for Rainbows and Cutthroat trout and the lakeside is great for setting up a hammock to kick back and enjoy the view. Not many trees left to block out the wind but it doesn’t really seem to take away from the experience. This small lake ended up being a great kayak spot with some interesting features in the water and a somewhat interesting shoreline to explore. Enjoyed watching a pair of Bald Eagles as they swooped fish out of the lake and carried them away. No real big problems with bugs aside from flies in the middle of the day, but its only May and that could soon change. Regardless, if you’re a fan of small, central Oregon hideaway lakes, this one should be on your list.

    Ranger review: Primus Lite + backpacking stove kit at Rujada campground

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I have the distinct pleasure to tryout and review gear from great outdoor companies. This is my ranger review of the Primus Lite+ backpacking stove kit at Rujada campground in Oregon.

    Campground review

    Rujada is smaller campground located just south-east of Cottage Grove, Oregon; up Bryce creek rd.

    This is a nice, well-maintained campground right on Layng Creek, in a heavily wooded area. It offers 15 campsites, some of which can be reserved online and others are first come, first served. The sites are quite unique to each other, some offering privacy, some larger and open, and a couple just off the "Swordfern trail" next to the creek. You can hear the creek's small waterfall from most of the sites, and there is even a couple of spots on the creek to take a dip; if you wish.

    The "Swordfern trail" starts at the day use area; where you can find a large ball field, horseshoe pits and a tiny playground. The trail continues into the forest following the creek, until it takes a big bend back around to the campground. It is an easy to moderate 2 or so miles, that I feel is family and dog friendly, as the grounds allows pets. If you want bigger hiking payoffs, just up the road approx. 6 miles, you can find "Pinard", "Moon", and "Spirit falls". Each are around 2 easy hiking miles and worth hitting, you can easily do all three in one day. I highly recommend these falls as they are some of the better, lesser known falls in Oregon.

    As for amenities; Rujada has two restroom facilities, one pit and one gender-specific flush, with sinks, located nearby the day use area. They also have trash service, recycling, water bibs and dish water troughs. There are no r.v. specific sites, so no power or sewer hookups. Each site also offers the expected firepit rings as well as awesome picnic tables made from big timbers from back in the day.`

    I liked this campground overall for its small size and more primitive nature, I will return and use it for a good jumpoff point for the many beautiful hikes nearby.

    Product review

    Primus Lite +

    https://primus.us/products/eta-lite-7?variant=17262691525

    The Primus Lite+ is a great, light and well built integrated backpacking stove/pot kit from the makers of the original soot free kerosene stove back in 1892. These stoves have come a long way, now offering auto start piezo igniters, no need for manually lighting with a match.

    The integrated pot system is attached with a grasp on the neoprene surround and a twist. No need to worry about your pot falling off while boiling water. If you would rather use your ol' trusty pot or kettle; it does have 3 small pegs that can be screwed into the burner to better balance your cookware. These pegs also attach to the pots strap and are at hand anytime. For more stability it also comes with two more options, one is an included tripod stand that fits 3 size fuel bottles. The other is a sweet, included hanging lanyard, so if you can't find a suitable surface, you can hang it from a nearby branch.

    If you purchase the smallest size fuel canister, all items(less the tripod) will fit into the integrated pot, taking up the least amount of space possible in your pack.

    This unit burns very hot, as the flame is concentrated directly on the pot and is not very adjustable. It does boil water very quickly though, 3-4 min. depending on conditions. I do feel that it might not be the best unit for cooking food as I could see it easily burning the food to the bottom. I might try rice or soup, just keep an eye on it. It is a perfect setup for making Mountain house meals and I love it for my coffee.

    My only criticism would be the pouring spout, or lack thereof. The cap has a hole for pouring with two alongside to allow for airflow. My problem, which may be user error, is most times I'm pouring, the water spills down the side of the pot. I tried to pour quicker, or slower, at an angle, and almost always have this problem. It is getting better each time I try, so hopefully I can solve this soon.

    All and all a great unit and does all that would be expected from this type of system, with some cool unique features. I recommend this to any backpacker or even the casual camper.

    Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver

    Bend Sunriver Thousand Trails Was Excellent

    We stayed two nights, August 15 through August 17, 2019, in campsite I-9, the overnight cost was$0.00 due to our Thousand Trails membership( our site had electrical and water service). The site was level, only needed 2 inch lift to level left side. 

    The campground is at an elevation of 4150 ft. Access to the campground was right off S. Century Drive, about 3 miles from hwy 97. Our 28 ft travel trailer easily fit with room to spare in our site. Once we enter the campground, the pavement turns to hard packed gravel as we looped around once to find a campsite. Weather was sunny upper 80's, the nights low 40's. This is a very quite campground, there was no noise from main road entering the campground. 

    Activities we enjoyed at the campground to keep busy was frisbee golf, mini-golf, a nice swimming pool and restroom with showers within a few minutes of our site. 

    My wife and I enjoyed the campground, we will stay again next time we are in the area. We stayed two nights as we traveled toward Crater Lake, Oregon.

    Albany-Corvallis KOA

    Just enough for kids

    This park is located between Corvallis and Albany Oregon. Very convenient to local stores like Costco, Walmart, Fred Meyer‘s. This park has all the basic necessities from their main store for things that you might have forgotten or need restocking. The park also has things for the kids to do like a basketball court, a pool, walking trails, putt putt golf which is pay to play ($1). 

    You can tell the park has seen some used over the years, and the staff seem to be working hard to try and maintaining it. At the bottom of the pool there are definitely some chipped areas which are very rough on the feet and chipping and they’re probably dealing with some leaking underneath the pool.

    Overall it was a decent stay I know my wife had mention the road noise from the close by highway was a little annoying some of the nights as she is light sleeper.  A decent stop for the family over the Fourth of July weekend, we would probably come back again.

    We had a 28 foot trailer with full hook ups, had to park my pick up sideways on the slip to make it all fit. Site #2

    What a Find

    Our GPS gave us good instructions to the adjacent golf course. There wasn’t any signage until we got to the golf course. We saw the RV campground (CG) and headed to the left up a hill to a building we later found out housed the bathhouse and laundry. There was a sign to“Detach Your Tow Vehicles Here.” Then another sign stating to call a given phone number to assist with registration. We called the number and they gave us our site number and told us to come by the golf course pro shop later to register. We walked into the small CG to find site 14 and look at the best route to this pull-through with FHUs. Site 14 was an easy pull through and we positioned our rig to facilitate our hookups. The utilities were placed in the middle of the pad, which was plenty long enough for our rig to include putting our back patio down. We had a minor issue with the Oregon-required spigot regulator leaking water. They do have good water pressure at about 50 psi. We reported the issue to the RV manager, Jeff, when we checked in at the clubhouse and they sent someone over the next day to fix the leak. Our nightly rate reflects their golf package for 2 golfers for 2 weeks without cart. Their free Wifi worked much better than most CGs this size. We got 3 bars on Verizon. There are mature trees but we were able to position Starlink to get a strong enough signal for our needs(internet access and streaming). They have cable but admittedly, they are not doing much maintenance as most people don’t use it. The sites here are close together but have a little yard so you are not sitting on the next site’s sewer. Everyone who stays at this RV CG has to have some sort of golf package. Our Vilano Okie Friends came to visit for three nights and had to buy at least one golf round. Our golf package paid for the golf but for a powered cart you have to pay$20 per person for 9 holes or$30 for 18. There’s a mixture of pull throughs and back-in sites in this CG. Some of the back-in sites would be difficult backing for larger rigs due to the limited road width. We suggest calling and talking to the RV manager to discuss which of those sites will fit your rig. One thing we really liked was that after golfing and taking the cart back to the CG to unload our clubs, one of the employees came up around 3:30 PM each day to fetch the carts back. We enjoyed our stay and especially the golf.

    Beautiful campsite!

    We stayed two nights tucked right up against the Mckenzie river. It was beautiful and peaceful.
