    Bend, Oregon

    Nestled in the heart of sunny central Oregon, Tumalo rests along Oregon's spectacular Deschutes River. The campground is simultaneously close enough to the town of Bend to make an quick jaunt to the grocery store, but far enough away to escape the commotion. Its location makes it an ideal stepping stone for any type of outdoor activity you could possibly dream of: lush green golf courses, clear blue-ribbon trout steams, pristine alpine lakes, miles upon miles of challenging yet scenic hiking and mountain bike trails, and of course the Cascade Mountains are all within easy reach.

    Campground info:

    Approximately 23 full-hookup sites More than 50 tent campsites Seven yurts (two pet-friendly) Two seasonal group camping area Two seasonal group picnic areas Seasonal hiker/biker camp Showers and flush toilets Firewood and ice sales (in season) Universal Access Four campsites and one yurt are accessible to campers with disabilities.

    Bend/Sisters area

    This is a beautiful RV park. Very well kept, friendly people, close to Bend area. Our site was #7. Pull through, FHU, had a small brick patio area with picnic table and fireplace. Camp store was well stocked. Laundry on site which was very reasonable. Site was level. As an RV park the sites are close together. We did a waterfall hike, went to Bend a couple times, went for dinner and drinks at the Barn in Sisters which is a food truck park. Sisters was a great small town.

    Creekside Sisters City Park

    Nice and Convenient!

    The best thing this park has going for it, is also a negative. The campground is in Sisters, OR., which is a great little town in Central Oregon, a jumping off location for lots of outdoor activities. Sisters also is yupped up with several cafes, bistros, art galleries, breweries, and tap houses too numerous to list here. It's also the home of Preston Thompson Guitars! The negative is that US Hwy 20, a main East/ West artery and vein for Oregon runs right through the middle of Sisters, and within just a few yards from this campground. So, you do get a lot of highway noise. However, the speed is low there and so that helps. 

    The campground manager was the friendliest manager that I've ever met. She makes it feel like home for you and genuinely wants you to like the park as much as she does. Mind you, she is probably a city employee as the the campground is part of Creekside City Park. But, she treats it as hers, and she wants you to come back. We had a FHU unit which rocks after spending several nights on the Oregon Coast in State Parks w/o FHUs. 

    The sites are close to one another, and the road around to the sites serpentines throughout the campground. Be mindful if you pull off in your rig in front of the office, as that gravel parking lot also serves as a drive out for the dump station. You very well could block off someone who wants to leave the dump station. I had an altercation with such a RVer because a Class A pulled right behind me, blocking the guy in, while we were getting directions from the manager. But, he saw it all as my fault and that is where the rub was. He wasn't very nice about being blocked in, even if it was for about a minute, and certainly ruined my day.

    Great Location and Amenities

    Great location and the amenities were those of a full service RV resort. Bathrooms & showers, pet area, trash service, fire pit rings, and more. Big pull through spots. Right off the road so there was a bit of road boise but still overall great.

    Sisters, Oregon - Dispersed Camping

    Easy, beautiful, free

    Maybe 15min outside bend, a little hard to see the turn off in the dark, but once we did it was easy to find a spot and set up camp! We only stayed one night and were car camping so it was perfect!

    Close to traveled road, dusty!

    Ok site. Not especially scenic, but good outdoor space with lots of owl and bug noise at night.

    Right next to road. Cars come by somewhat regularly, at some speed, kicking up dust.

    There is an open spot suitable for solar and starlink.

    Sister Mountains Viewpoint on Harrington Loop

    No Amenities but Close to Town

    I have stayed here a couple times on motorcycle trips around Oregon. There are lots of sites that have been used and it's a great place to spend a night or two. It's close to Sisters so you can grab what you need.

    You're close to the Rodeo grounds so you can hear what's going on if there are any events there. Overall, great free place to camp if you're in the Sisters, OR area.

    Dispersed Rock Quary

    Rock quarry = shooting range

    This is an active shooting range, so if you're looking for peace and quiet or a spot that is not littered with pulls of trash, you've come to the wing place.

    On the upside, when there is not shooting, the quarry is an ok view (if you can get past the litter), and there is endless space and open skies for solar or starlink. It's also easy to reach and rig friendly, but not far from main highway for access.

    Dusty and featureless, but flat

    Only about 70 yards from main road. Super fine dust, everything will be dirty.

    Tall trees so no good vantage point for starlink or solar.

    No water features right at site.

    There are several spots off of the road to the Spark Lake Day Use area. The road is very rough, but taken slow does not require a 4wd.

    Love it here

    Humbug is one of our favorite campgrounds. We love the easy access to the beach and the beautiful hikes.  Showers are hot and free, rangers are always friendly.

    Cell service is pretty iffy here, but we manage to make it work with the cell booster.

    There's a dump station and water fill, trash and recycling, water spigots throughout campground, and firewood for sale.

    Tent sites in Oregon don't currently have the 25% non-resident surcharge (though I've heard that's changing soon) and there are plenty of non-hookup/tent sites that will fit RVs. There are also FHU and pull through sites.

    Deschutes River Overlook Dispersed Camping

    Not ideal spot for car parking

    Its a big lot area with a view of the river close to the dam. Theres a day use area and resort campground down the road which I asked the hosts there about the dispersed camping and they gave me an attitude saying that because its a state site that the sheriff may come check to ask me to leave. I told that that made no sense as its on usa owned land but they insisted not to park there. I believe they were just jealous because almost noone was at their campground. The day use area is small and watch for the tire strips. The parking area up the hill (at these coordinates) is a bit trashy but its a good spot for walk or bike.

    Beautiful Riverside Campground, Maintenance Could Be Improved

    We went as a group of 8+ families, booking a number of different campsites in two groupings, one on the riverfront, one on the backside of the loop.  The campground layout is a large loop with a road down the center, so was great for kids riding bikes around and playing.

    The riverside sites were beautiful but ours was very close to an outhouse that was extremely full and smelled very bad.  It really needed to be cleaned out and clearly hadn't in a long time.

    Also the river was super cold and very fast moving, which at times was a little scary with a ton of young kids running around.

    Camp Sherman was only a mile away and has fresh donuts in the morning.  I was able to ride over on my electric skateboard and it was a beautiful enjoyable ride.

    There was also a small bridge 7-10ft above the river that folks jumped off of which was fun.

    We didn't have any major problems with bees or mosquitos as some other folks mentioned that they had in previous reviews.

    We had one morning evening where fog was rolling across the river and it was uniquely beautiful.  Overall it's a great spot, but would have been perfect if the maintenance had been better and the outhouse smell wasn't so bad.

    Solitude and wide open space

    Love this dispersed campsite! So much wife open space. We were the only campers here last night. So quiet that you can hear a pin drop. Oh, the 360 views are fantastic! A little bumpy ride for regular cars as it is in a dirt road; an AWD preferred.

    Like camping at an apartment complex

    Never again, hovering campground hosts kept the place clean but they made us feel like we were on the watch list. Campers left the campsite and no joke, the hosts were in raking the dirt as the people were vacating.

    Typical State Campground

    Stayed in one of the cabins, it was clean and made a nice getaway for a couple days.

    Bathrooms are a long walk in the middle of the night so I should have chosen a cabin with a bathroom, my mistake. 

    Campground sites are tightly packed and lack privacy. If you like to take nice long walks there are hiking paths as well as the paved roads in the campground.

    Good spot not in mountain area

    A good spot closer to main rd so seems to be a few degrees difference in temp so got to about low 40s instead of 30s at night. Need to go down road a half mile or so for an open flat spot but with an RV may need to take the first big open spot on the left not too far from main road. There may be other campers there. A good parking spot. Not much else there. If driving from north then need to take a turn around or u-turn to get to the road.

  • Scenic Views: Campers rave about the stunning landscapes. A review for Crooked River Campground highlighted, "We enjoyed seeing deer moving around the CG, plus amazing views of the mountains and canyon."

What you should know:

  • Noise Levels: Some campgrounds can be noisy, especially during peak seasons. A camper at Deschutes River Campground mentioned, "The campground was loud, with a large group with lots of kids playing."
  • Limited Privacy: Many sites are close together, which can affect privacy. A visitor at Creekside Sisters City Park noted, "Some spaces are a little tight and not so level."
  • Reservations Recommended: During busy seasons, it's wise to book ahead. A camper at Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver advised, "If you come without a reservation you should bring cash to pay for your spot."

  • Plan for Connectivity: Be aware that cell service can be spotty. A visitor at Crooked River Campground shared, "There is NO CONNECTIVITY! Even with our Wii-Boost and 20-foot antenna, there was nothing."
