Best Glamping near Central Oregon, OR

One of The nicest glamping trips I have had! the cabins were amazing and the tent sites looked great too. stay in the cabins on the hill above the lake! seriously! The past k even has a amphitheater and cabins with workshops for kids. Fishing at the lake too!

We were able to score a couple of nights here in Early May.  It's a very popular Oregon State Park and I'm sure summer requires advance planning.  The weekend we were there was pretty full and our site was at the top of the B loop.  Monday, however, the park cleared out to much fewer campers.   The lake was actually mostly full and the views were beautiful.   Some of the amenities were boating, of course, lake views from some sites, a nice dog park along with the normal state park fare.  We'll definitely make another trip!

I booked this campsite for my boyfriend and I for our anniversary and it was awful. The campground has no privacy (especially if you stay in the inner campsites), they have a public space right in the middle of all the campsites so people walk through your campsite all the time. The lake was pretty but the “beach” was just sharp rocks that people were sliding down the whole time. Our dogs paws were hurting so bad they didn’t even want to go swimming or play. It’s also on a hillside so there is nowhere to set up chairs or anything, we had to sit on top of the rocks and try and make a flat surface for the dogs to lay on. I posted a photo so you all can see the horrible beach. Also the park hosts (besides the one guy) were very rude. The older lady with the longer frizzy brown/gray hair would just walk around glaring at you and we saw her talking to someone pointing at us clearly talking about us. I’m not sure why she was so rude besides the day before when I had to go to the bathroom and they decided to clean it and close it in the middle of the day so I asked how long and just waited for them to finish(you would think they would clean it early in the morning so people could go to the bathroom when they need to). Just a very rude woman.

This campground was great in so many ways. Lots of reservations were available in the days leading up to our trip. The campground we ended up reserving was very large and had great lake views. Not sure if it was the time of year we went or if it is always quiet but one night we had maybe 3 other campers in the campground. My one complaint would be the access to the lake is almost impossible. We brought our paddleboards with us but the water level was too low so the boat ramp was closed and the walk to the water was a lot further than we had anticipated. Despite that one obstacle, I would definitely stay here again. Also looks like it is a good place for fishing since I saw multiple people catching rather large fish all weekend.

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.

What a great spot to get away from the [pollen in the Willamette valley and just a short drive over Hwy 20 from Salem.

The Juniper trees are amazing and the fish cleaning station was built using them.

Nice place to launch a boat and fish or tube. Has an amazingly helpful fish cleaning space! Can even catch fish off the bay. Kids had fun!

Great campground with boat access and cabins. They have the best fishing dock and cleaning station that I have yet to see. We had great luck catching many crappie here which made great fish tacos for our Camp dinner. Not all cabins and tent sites are open year round. The rangers were great and very helpful. Make sure to look at a map before headed out because Gps will take you on a dirt road adventure to your campsite.

This popular lakeside campsite is perfect for your water-based adventures.  The reservoir is really pretty and has great fishing.  Some of the campsites have really nice shade, while others have stunning views over the lake.  The cabins are super nice and reasonably priced too.

We stayed here for two nights late March early April. We had snow and some wind, but this place was beautiful. The facilities were immaculate and the rangers were amazing. Unfortunately the reservoir was very low, but perhaps there will be water later in the year. Long drive for us from the Tri Cities, but we’ll make this trip again!

But to be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. It was very hot and dusty so we spent quite a bit of time on the beach. The water level was low, but most reservoirs are pretty low this time of year. My biggest complaint was the amount of trash along the shore and in the water. My wife actually found a used sanitary napkin floating around! Disgusting. The campsites don’t have much privacy and there’s not much room to back in your trailer. Meaning the pads are ninety degrees from the road in some spots, not angled. On the plus side, we were able to break out the telescope once the sun was down and do some stargazing as there’s hardly any light pollution. The bathrooms were also very clean. The camp hosts sell ice, which is cool because the nearest store is a few miles back down the road. It seems like the main draw here is the lake, but for us, it was the worst part of the campground.

Recommend for anyone who likes the state park feel and easy getting around via paved roads and all.  Nice star gazing. All in all good spot. Ada friendly in most getting around spots.

While other cabins overlook the reservoir, the dog friendly one is perched uphill by the park entrance. There is still a view from the front porch of the reservoir, and the side window looks out on the hillside where the deer amble on down to the water from. The medium sized campground spills down the hill to the reason everyone goes there, the reservoir. The campground was nearly empty after spring break, yet had many day visitors to the boat ramp and fishing platform. The wind made fishing from the dock cold and uncomfortable, moving to the shore right beside it fixed that issue. The vault toilets in the fishing and boating areas were large and spotlessly clean.

No water in the Resorvoir! But campfires were ok in August.. The campground was nice enough, but no playing in the water

The rangers tipped me off to this one. Lots of great sites overlook the Prineville Reservoir, but they're all first come, first serve. Nice big sites, super nice trail that heads off east from the campground. Water and power, but they have one of the best dump stations I've ever experienced.....if you can have a good experience at a dump station. Quiet, coyotes serenading, wonderful experience. Prineville is nearby and has everything.

This was my first time renting an RV spot at a campground and don’t have much experience to compare with other campgrounds. The RV spot I reserved had good amenities such as electrical outlets, a water faucet, a picnic table and a fire pit. I don’t have an RV but reserved this spot to car camp in my Tesla and be able to charge my car overnight.

Other amenities include bathroom and showers. They sell firewood and ice where the campground hosts are.

The campground hosts and park rangers were also very friendly.

The educational programs are outstanding! The amenities are well cared for and the surroundings are incredible!

Stayed two nights at end of June. Reservoir is full but has algae bloom along shore. Firewood and ice is available to purchase on site. bathrooms and showers were clean and well kept. Sites near the water have a nice breeze sometimes. Some sites have partial shade. roads and campsite drives are paved.
