    Tumalo State Park Campground

    Convenient camping stop just 4 miles off the highway.

    Tumalo State Park gets only 3 stars from me because it was hot and crowded. Since its only 4 miles North of popular Bend, Oregon, its a convenient stop... but what I consider "pit stop camping," on my way to quieter destinations. They have good campground amenities for this: flush toilets, running water, showers. Its a pretty location, near many fun outdoor activities near and in Bend, but the sites were too crowded together for my taste. Note that, as in most of Oregon in high summer, open flames and camp fires are prohibited. It is a Red Flag zone, meaning there is a high danger of wildfires. In fact, as of last week (late July, 2018) you could see the smoke from several fires in the surrounding forests.

    Tumalo State Park Campground

    Mainly RVs

    Showers, bathrooms, and running water are available. A tent site is $21/night with 1 car allowed. Additional cars are $7/night. There aren't any tent sites secluded from yurts and RVs, so you will be hearing generators run, though people did shut them off at 10. IMO, it's expensive for a tent site in a spot where you're surrounded by glampers.

    Ochoco Lake County Park

    Cute small campground - Dry Camping

    Cute small campground on a little hill overlooking a lake.  Tent sites by the lake's edge. 
    Very Clean bathrooms with code for campers. Pits for public areas. 
    Since there are no RV services be prepared to hear some generators running occasionally.  Quiet hours 10PM-7AM.  Water is available but may not be close enough for a hose to your RV.  Most sites have good Starlink view of skies.

    Tumalo State Park Campground

    A Posh Campground

    Only a 10 minute drive from Bend, Tumalo offers a sophisticated camping experience. Heated individual showers, clean bathrooms, and quick access to firewood are a big step up from the usual camping basics. With the Deschutes River running through the park, there are also plenty of outdoor activities available. I had a great time, but make sure to bring warm clothes though--it can get pretty cold!

    Tumalo State Park Campground

    Big campground with great facilities

    Tumalo State Park Campground is big, and spots might feel a little tight. The tent areas didn’t seem to have a whole lot of privacy and room. We stayed in a yurt, which was nice and clean. Unfortunately the neighbors weren’t great about following the quiet hours. The bathrooms and showers were really nice. We had a great time playing in the Deschutes river!

    Paulina Lake Lodge Cabins

    Amazing food, nice cabins, good views and location

    Old school resort on the shores of beautiful Paulina Lake. Wonderful, small log cabin lodge with amazing food. Other log cabins to rent ranging from three people to large families with fire places, a couple right on the water.

    Cabins have running water, bathrooms, cozy fireplaces, comfy couches. Resort has a boat launch and small general store for supplies, food, and bait.

    The Lake itself is beautiful and the location puts you right next to all of the fun hikes, biking, trails and activities all around Paulina Lake area. Possibly also some spots for RVs.

    Try the Apple Crumble and the“Knife Burger” (huge burger with steak knife stuck in it). You will not be disappointed.

    LaPine State Park Campground

    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.

    Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver

    This campground is fantastic - but no sewer

    The only reason I did not give this park 5 stars is the lack of sewer. But everything else in the property was top notch. The sites are very large, the power is good, albeit slightly low voltage (117v). Water quality and pressure is good and we had 30m dl speeds on both att and Verizon.

    The sites are heavily treed (pines) with exceptional spacing between. The had a tree service on site taking out the dead trees and obtrusive branches while we were there. Very well kept.

    The bath houses are all clean, and at least one we surveyed appears to be freshly updated. There is a large hall, a well stocked store with beer and firewood and all the necessities .

    They have 6 brand new pickleball courts as well as all the other normal amenities. The pools (2) we not open when we arrived but look to be at least adequate.

    We stayed here in a motorhome and found it to be scenic, close to many attractions and shopping, and as very pleasant stay. We would absolutely come here again.

    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!


Guide to Brothers

Central Oregon's high desert landscape near Brothers features diverse glamping and camping options across varying elevations from 3,700 to 4,300 feet. The region experiences wide temperature fluctuations with summer days reaching 90°F and nights dropping to 40°F, making layered clothing essential. Winter visitors encounter freezing temperatures and occasional snow, particularly at higher elevations near Paulina Lake and East Lake.

What to do

Stargazing at night skies: Prineville Reservoir State Park offers exceptional dark sky viewing opportunities away from city light pollution. "This is also a dark sky park and if the moon is not bright the stars are amazing. There is a hike you can take along the shore of the reservoir - 4 miles out and back," notes Amy B. from Prineville Reservoir Main Campground.

Wildlife observation: Early mornings and evenings provide the best wildlife viewing opportunities across the region. At Bend-Sunriver Thousand Trails, campers report diverse wildlife sightings. "We had deer out back, pikas & pretty yellow birds with redheads," shares B M. during their East Lake stay.

Educational programs: Several campgrounds offer seasonal ranger-led activities. "The educational programs are outstanding! The amenities are well cared for and the surroundings are incredible!" writes Rayne C. about Prineville Reservoir State Park.

Fishing opportunities: Ochoco Lake provides excellent fishing access with specialized facilities. "Nice place to launch a boat and fish or tube. Has an amazingly helpful fish cleaning space! Can even catch fish off the bay," reports Sarah W.

What campers like

Hot springs access: Natural hot springs near Paulina Lake offer unique relaxation spots. Visitors can hike to these geothermal features for a warming soak, especially welcome during cooler months.

Clean facilities: Consistently maintained bathrooms and showers rank high in camper satisfaction. "Very good restrooms and showers. Very quiet at night. Some minor background road noise beginning around 7am," reports Leonard H. about Tumalo State Park Campground.

Spacious campsites: Many locations provide adequate space between sites. At LaPine State Park Campground, "the back sites are very spacious. Pull through sites offer little privacy and some of those are awkward to situate your RV," advises Jeff M.

Grassy areas: Several campgrounds maintain grass areas for activities. "We love going to Prineville Reservoir State Park because it isn't too big- lots of grassy spaces, great boating and beach area," shares Lesa H.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most established campgrounds require advance booking, especially during peak summer months. "Must book on ReserveAmerica.com. Drove around to select potential sites then confirmed open and booked online," explains Leonard H. about Tumalo State Park.

Temperature variations: Significant day-to-night temperature swings occur year-round. "I go every spring and get a spot overlooking the lake/reservoir. It is very dry and dusty but it is the high desert after all," notes Amy B. about Prineville.

Road conditions: Some access roads can be challenging. At Ochoco Lake County Park, visitors should note that "road noise is SO bad" according to Lucci L., while Kelly N. warns about Prineville Reservoir: "Make sure to look at a map before headed out because GPS will take you on a dirt road adventure to your campsite."

Water levels: Lake and reservoir levels fluctuate seasonally, affecting water activities. "Lake is pretty when full," notes Brad E. about Ochoco Lake.

Tips for camping with families

Swimming areas: Designated swimming zones provide safer water access for children. "The swim area is marked and dogs are not allowed in that area so you don't have to worry about dog messes where your kiddos are walking barefoot and swimming," explains Lesa H. about Prineville Reservoir.

Activity options: Multiple recreation choices keep all ages engaged. "My kids are helping us out with reviews for parks. Kids loved Sunriver-Bend Thousand Trails because there is bunnies, bullfrogs, mini-golf, a great little river to float on or swim in, ladderball, bingo, movies outside, and some pretty great pools!" shares Nicole R.

Site selection: Choose locations based on bathroom proximity when camping with children. At BEND FS 4610 Dispersed, "there are miles of trails to go explore on and find the perfect spot for you," advises Connor H., making it suitable for families who want more space.

Safety considerations: Check for specific hazards at each location. "Super dusty. It just gets all over everything. Spent an extra hour packing up just to wipe things down," warns Chelsie about dispersed camping areas, which might affect children with respiratory sensitivities.

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Full-service sites are limited in the region. At Deschute County Expo RV Park, "Fantastic showers, laundry and friendly staff. This is one of the best stops if you are visiting Redmond or the Bend, OR area," according to Lee O.

Site leveling needs: Many campgrounds have uneven terrain requiring leveling equipment. "The site was level, only needed 2 inch lift to level left side," reports Jeff C. about Bend-Sunriver Thousand Trails.

Dump station access: Plan ahead for waste disposal. "They have no dump station on site," warns Bri about Cascade Meadows RV Resort, while Leonard H. notes about Tumalo: "If have tent site, nearest dump station is CampingWorld... only a few miles away at north side of Bend."

Parking configurations: Site layouts vary significantly between campgrounds. "The individual sites are pretty spacious and have a decent amount of trees," notes Christie U. about Bend-Sunriver, while at Deschute County Expo RV Park, "people insist on parking their vehicles in front of their rigs instead of the parking areas, making it difficult to maneuver around the loops," according to Mimi.
