"Our GPS and Waze wanted to take us to the Fair& Expo main gate, but we followed the website instructions to the RV park portion of the fairgrounds adjacent to the Juniper Golf Course."
"Another very popular resort, this one is on the shores of East Lake. Rustic cabins built between the 1940s and 1960s, but quaint and cozy, most with toilets and showers and close to the shoreline."
"a general store, boat launch, beach and restaurant, this quaint little "resort" is a small collection of 1960s cabins along a simple gravel parking lot/road and most either on or with a view of the lake"
"This spot was close enough to town that we could call an Uber to Hayden Homes after we set up, then Uber back when the concert finished."
"Navigable with a van all wheel drive. Drove in about a mile+to find an empty spot. Most already taken. Seems to be a mix between a mobile and a stationary group of campers. A good spot close to Bend."

TravelerTumalo 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.
TravelerShowers, 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.
GuideCute 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.
ScoutOnly 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!
RangerTumalo 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!
LegendOld 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.
GuideThis 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.
ScoutThe 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.
TravelerLucky 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!
