$46 / night
"Owner was friendly & very accommodating, all around nice guy. Park was in process of expanding, adding a more RV hookups, a couple more tent sites, & hopefully another shower house."
"Crescent Lake is just a short drive away with great scenery and fishing. I highly recommend this place."
$25 - $52 / night
"Great areas for kids to play, lots of access to water via boat ramps or jetty or shoreline spots to sit."
"A tent from a neighboring site was fairly close to our space so we built a quick fire, pitched our tents on semi-level areas, and turned in early."
$24 - $115 / night
"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."
"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. "
$16 - $27 / night
"This campground was in a great location to go see crater lake (15 min drive or less) as well as nearby Hot Springs (30ish min drive) and waterfalls. The campground itself was wooded and very close to"
"Access to the campground was right off hwy 138, which is a few miles from the north entrance to Crater Lake. Our 28 ft travel trailer easily fit with room to spare in our site."
$27 - $31 / night
"This is by far the Most beautiful camping on Crescent Lake. In the fir trees on the temperate side of the lake. It cools off fast as it lies up against a hill."
"Booked via Recreation.gov and had a lakeside tent spot. Spots 37-38 if reserved together would be perfect for a larger group, plenty of room for multiple tents. "
"nearly had the entire place to myself minus a couple travel trailers, but there’s enough room to spread out to where no one even notices each other."
"Walt Haring Sno-Park is close to 97 but it was not crowded when I was there. Pit toilets are available I did not see any other hookups tho. Plenty of picnic tables and spots for tents."
$16 - $21 / night
"Well maintained, primitive camping next to a lodge. Most campsites are right on the lake, which can cause cold nights later in the season but great views."
"Nice place for a couple of nights, although be forewarned... the campsite is on the east end of the lake and a very cold breeze blows across the water right at you, especially this time of year."
$25 - $128 / night
"Pros: The campground is nice, many vault toilets, fresh water spigot and sink drain sites, camp hosts are friendly, 1 mile drive to South twin lake, fair camping rates."
"Spots are on the smaller side and not very private, and being near the boat ramp adds a little extra traffic. The beautiful reservoir with sandy beaches is the real draw for this campground."
$27 - $56 / night
"But because it is close to the Shelter Cove Resort, you have the ability to use some of their amenities."
"Easy creek access using a trail from our site, and lake access only a short walk away. This campground has so much potential, but the proximity to the hwy and railroad were a bit of a bummer."
ScoutIt is in a vast recreation area for off road vehicles. The main road in is gravel and quite smooth. I easily found a site to car camp late at night. It was just 20 minutes from site to Bend. No amenities just a good place to car camp.
RangerGreat stop to see Crater Lake. It’s close and super quiet. We had a wonderful stay. Would stay again
GuideThis is a decently well maintained campground, the road in and through is severely potholed and I wouldn’t recommend a big rig, but I did see one guy park at least 35’ class A.
Vault toilets, no water or electricity. Sites are not all level, some are not RV friendly, but most are. Host is doing a fab job keeping the grounds clean and tidy.
Many sites back right up to the lake. Many back up to the road others is a bit of traffic noise.
RangerThis spot has lots of spread out dispersed sites, and is only 10 minutes to Bend
ScoutThis park is beautifully landscaped and has thought of all the coveniences of home. Each campsite has their own outside garbage can, WiFi (towers throughout resort) “paw patio” if you choose a site with one. Has a beautiful pool/hotub, little store, gym etc. they’ve literally thought of everything. It’s also close to all the outdoor fun of bend, OR including river bend park where pooches can swim in their own area (not having to compete with boaters) and also nightlife abounds. Great town for both city folks and outdoor activities. Oh and did I forget to mention pickle ball and paved roads and campsites. It’s only a year old, so modern & well working hookups with great access to your RV.
The only downside is the price matches the quality. The site I chose was a whopping $115.00/ night! So only staying 3 nights to recoup from a week of roughing it while boondocking.
Another “downside” that I’ve experienced is the local “guests” are a bit aloof and stick to themselves, which I find uncommon in the RV community.
All in all a great way to pamper yourself!

There is a small dirt road that leads to a few spots great for small RVs or tents. This dirt road is very close to NP border. We slept here for one night, it's very quiet and beautiful.
TravelerThe campground is nice and well maintained. Sites aren’t very big and some are very close together. Our bad luck gave us the spot closest to the road and there were a lot of heavy trucks traveling by early morning. Showers are really nice and there is a nice dish wash station with hot water in the central area. The toilets on the outskirts are super tiny and you can’t close the stall door without straddling the commode. Easy access to wood and ice and trash disposal. The park area has several great swim spots if you can handle the icy cold water. Also good fishing for trout and other fish. Recommend river shoes if you have them as the rocks can be slippery and painful. Overall we really liked it. Only issue was the road noise but if you get a spot further from the entrance you will be fine.
TravelerSpacious campsites with good picnic tables and fire pits. No stunning views from the campground but still a pretty area. Mostly quiet at night, though did hear a bit of road noise… but it’s not a super busy road. The thing I liked most about this campground was the fact that there were not many people here.
TravelerIt’s a highway gravel area with plenty of places to pull up and park for any size rig. There are a few others here as well. Super quiet, little road noise but not somewhere for us to stay over one night.
