Best Glamping near Crescent, OR

This State Park offers tent, yurt and rv camping. The tent only loop is beautiful and quiet as it is the only loop along the water. If you have kids who like to get filthy and not have to take a bath, make sure to get one of the spots that has no grass in it. This is their dream come true. The only issue I have have ever had here is the giant jumping spider guarding the restroom. This campground is a great base camp for exploring all Central Oregon has to offer. Love this place!

This is s a terrific campground. The sites are all very clean. The hosts are wonderful! There are sinks to wash your dishes outside the bathrooms. The yurts are wonderfully clean, warm, and well-equipped. The campground is kept very tidy. I have really enjoyed both times I stayed here.

We stayed in a yurt here and inside was a sign in book with a lot of fun adventures shared from other travelers. There’s walk path across the street to the river and park which was fun to tube down in the summer heat. This was our second time staying and we will definitely return. It was well kept.

This campground has a spot for everyone - large RV’s, yurts, tents, and even bikes. It’s close to the water and has a great Ranger program. Float the river, visit the volcanos, and hike to the top of Pilot Butte in nearby, Bend to see all of the gorgeous mountains.

Ranger Steve led a great orienteering class and a fun owl pellet dissection class.

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.

This is the closest campground to Bend coming from the west, so make reservations early. One section is open all year with limited services. Trailer/rv, tent, and group sites available as are yurts. Updated restrooms and showers. Day use area across The road with river access. Lower loop is next to the river but doesn't have fancy restrooms. The campground can be noisy with trucks on the nearby road. The sites are large. Hosts on site, rangers enthusiastically enforce 10 pm quiet time. No sewer dump station - closest are in Sisters and Bend.

Quiet, wooded campground. No hookups. Vault bathrooms. Great areas for kids to play, lots of access to water via boat ramps or jetty or shoreline spots to sit. Close to Crescent lake where there are fun water rentals to enjoy on the lake and a great restaurant. Mosquitos weren’t bad in July.

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. The sites are big, and more private as there are more trees. It’s hard to get bigger rigs in here. Lots of mosquitoes and ticks especially in the early summer months.

Tumalo State Park is one of my favorite state parks in one of my favorite areas of the state. The camp hugs the Tumalo River (though no campsites are along the river). There’s an awesome but well-loved day use area with swimming and barbecues. You can tube along the basalt rock wall and there's a grassy area for picnics.

The campsites include tent and electric RV sites nestled up against basalt rock hills. Sparsely forested, so plenty of sun, but some sites also have shade. Flush toilets, showers, and very cool yurts that are popular.

Minutes from downtown Bend if you want to get fancy, but also located next to all the outdoor hiking, biking, fishing, and rafting activities in the area. Gets very crowded due to it’s proximity to Bend, especially the day use area.

This campsite was one of my favorites so far. Mostly because we had a long drive and arriving at this campsite felt good. VERY clean with private separate showers and a dish washing station outside the bathrooms. Although a smaller camp ground and the sites were relatively close it didn’t bother me. We stayed here 2 or 3 nights while exploring Bend. Maybe 10 15 minutes into bend but very heavily wooded area and on the river. We camped right in front of the play ground and there were definitely a lot of children and families. Also didn’t mind that. There also tent sites, yurts, and RV/ camper spots. I think what I enjoyed most about this site it just gave me a sense of “home” during our road trip. And of course dogs are welcome!

Loved being able to camp here, at Tumalo State Park. There were a couple of great hikes nearby that I wanted to do, so brought my husband and dog and we camped here and did some hiking. Here are a few things I really liked about this campsite:

1. Close to Bend. We wanted to stay somewhere that we were also able to tour and site see. We were able to spend some time wandering around Bend, eating at some great local places.
2. Hiking Trails- Tumalo Falls and Tumalo Mountain
3. Biking Trails
4. Great tent sites, but they also have RV sites and some yurts that you can rent

Vaulted toilets on site, water source, and the camp spaces are decent size. Highly recommend this place because again, it is close to the city but also isolated for true camping!

Located just outside of Bend, OR this is the perfect little state park to stay at when visiting the Lava Tubes National Park, Dee Wright Observatory, or the High Desert Museum.

There is a good amount of full hook up spots to accommodate most RV sizes along with several tent sites. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit. Restrooms with showers located in both loops. There is no playground, but they do offer the Junior Ranger Program which kids can participate in. Yurts are available to reserve here. The park hosts were super friendly and keep the campground very well kept. There are campsites alongside the river that offer nice views.

Across the road from the campground there is a very nice day use area that has picnic areas and even a little "makeshift" beach. The water is very shallow and slow moving which made an awesome little spot for water play for the kids. You can also fish alongside the river there too.

There is a waterfall trail that is fairly easy for kiddos and worth the hike as well

While this isn't a very large state park it is a very popular campground during peak season so you will definitely want to get reservations in as early as possible.

This was for sure one of the better kid friendly campgrounds near Bend :)

Typical Oregon park: super clean, beautiful sites, very low cost, etc. Oregon could teach any other state how to do a park.

This was one of the best days we had in all of Oregon. This state park is right on the Deshutes River and has an awesome network of hike/bike trails. Spaces were easy to get in and out of, all level, and had plenty of room in between sites. Bathrooms were clean and everybody was very friendly. The park was full on the weekend we were there but it didn’t seem crowded. We would come back and stay much longer if we could. Don’t miss this place if you are exploring Oregon.

First time camping/visiting this State Park. 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. Clean, well-equipped, spacious campsites. We stayed in the South Loop, as the other two (North, and Middle) loops were not open yet. The sites are a little close for my taste, but it worked out fine. The bathrooms are push-flush and heated, which was a great perk in 19° weather :) The hosts seemed really nice, and helpful if needed. Great place to stay -highly recommend!

Very solid, typical Oregon state campground. Has all of the good things that you'd want: clean flush toilets, Junior Ranger programs and activities, decent spots (some better than others), playground, and nice trees and pretty rock walls.

But what sets it apart is it's proximity to Bend, Oregon, as well as the Day Use area across the road with a river and swimming area along with picnic tables.

Very popular in the summer especially; be sure to book early. Between nearby Bend and the other activities on-site and in the area, you could definitely spend several days here and not get bored.

Very clean & quiet. Convenient to Bend & Sisters. Outstanding area for so much activity, & some serious scenic overload.

Our 3rd Oregon SP on our journey, best so far.

I’m a big fan of Oregon State Parks in general, but I really love the sites that are on the River here. I usually spend a few days here each summer when attending concerts at Les Schwab.
