    "We camped next to a field that was home to a mom cat and her kittens. The campground is usually busy and it next to the highway which made it little loud during rush hour."

    "It's convenient to both hiking in the surrounding area and the city to check out a brewery in the evening. Bathrooms were clean, sites were clean, sufficient enough space between sites."

    "It would be a 5-star rating if it were situated in a pristine natural forest. Alas, it’s surrounded by suburbia, which is not awful but certainly not awe-inspiring either."

    "There are some nice amenities as well and you arent too far from town, but definitely not walking distance or really biking distance for that matter. "

    "There was a fair amount of shady traffic c but all was well during my night stay with my dog. Good place to crash near bend in the woods."

    "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."

    There are a few campsites and some are obviously used frequently."

    "I’d recommend having the map from this app open and driving super slow as you approach if you’re arriving at night. I looked for fire rings and didn’t see too many, but there are tons of pull-offs."

    "Dusty and no bathrooms, (if you are not in a vehicle with a bathroom, this can be a problem since there were quiet a few people around the area, spaced out but visible to each other)."

    Bend / Sisters Garden RV Resort

    Rad top end camp ground!

    This place is loaded with just about everything you need from putt putt golf to a fully stocked pond (barbless un-baited hooks only, catch & release). We loved the giant dog park, huge sites, and the staff were absolutely amazing. They not only brought the bundles of wood to your site for you but they also come and collect your trash from your site.

    We will definitely be going back. The only problem I have with this place (and it can also be considered a good thing when dealing with bad dog owners that don’t pick up after their pets) is that they have signs everywhere saying to keep the dogs off the grass and are pretty rigid about enforcing it.

    Prineville Reservoir Main Campground — Prineville Reservoir State Park

    Loved this smaller State Park and area!

    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!

    Holiday Farm RV Park

    Nice place to hang

    Needed hookups for this trip and Holiday Farm had them. Though it’s a HOA, the lot owners rent out vacant lots and it’s a really nice location. Nice, small dog park. Nice people. Great hosts. Very pleasant stay.

    Crooked River Campground — The Cove Palisades State Park

    Love the Crooked River Campground

    I haven’t camped here in summer before, but am loving the experience. Lots of boaters, families, jet skis. Lots of fun happening. Great dog park. Beautiful views on the west side.

    Three Creeks Lake Campground

    Too many people

    The new management company definitely forgets to make the rounds. The place was packed with day users and campsites were overcrowded (12 cars next to us, 25 people in one site). It is a lovely lake but human impact may shut it down.

    I'm sure covid has played a part, but the reserve system is bringing in a different type of camper than we are comfortable with, and pushing away those "in exploration mode".

    I hope something happens soon before the area degenerates into a dog park/party place.

    Crooked River Campground — The Cove Palisades State Park

    Family Friendly & Neighborhoodly

    Cove Palisades state park is pretty rad, especially if you’ve got a family! There’s a playground, a fenced in dog park, trail heads, showers, and a cute little camp store. If you’re looking for seclusion, this probably isn’t the park for you. But if you can get roll with the communal feel, Cove Palisades is great.

    Big Pines RV Park

    Great rv park

    Mostly pull through sites. Nice bathrooms. Super nice and helpful staff. Better than avg wifi with an option for unlimited. I don't feel packed in. Dog park. No wood fires. Adequate tree cover but not completely enveloped. Level sites. Cable tv. Very clean and well kept park.

    bend rv park

    New RV Park In Bend

    The correct name for this new park is Bend RV Resort.  I think this park is not yet a year old at this time.  It's located just off Hwy 97 and Murphy Road, near the Brookwood Plaza.  All pads are either concrete or paved asphalt.  Some of the sites have gas fire pits, some have fenced 'paw patios' , and some have neither.  There is a very nice common area building that includes laundry, fitness room, small store, pickleball courts, a non-heated swimming pool, and a hot tub.  There is also an off lease dog park.  The park is very near many Bend attractions; however, there is a lot of road noise from Murphy Road and Hwy 97.  If you want quiet, then I suggest getting one of the sites in the middle and away from Murphy Road.  The park is very clean as it's new.

    Crooked River Campground — The Cove Palisades State Park

    Sleepy little RV campground above Crooked River

    We arrived on a Monday afternoon of a long holiday weekend in October and the campground was about 1/4 full with half the sites closed for the season. Lots of trees, level paved pads, and electric and water hookup at all sites. $33 per night as of October 2020. Everything was clean and well maintained including a nice, roomy trash/recycling station and dual dump stations with lots of room for lines. Good distance between sites and the campground was very quiet. There was a separate grassy fenced dog area as nice as some of the dog parks in our neighborhood in Portland. We usually go for a more rustic/dispersed setup because we don’t want to be right on top of our neighbors when we camp, and we were pleasantly surprised by how idyllic this site was. Would stay again!
