Best Cabin Camping near Dexter, OR

147 Reviews

Cabin campgrounds near Dexter offer a range of accommodation options with varying amenities. The Willamettans provides cabin rentals with electric hookups and access to shared facilities including showers and toilets. River Bend County Park features creekside cabins with water and electric hookups alongside picnic tables and fire rings. "Peeked inside some of the creekside cabins. Those look super cute," noted one visitor who appreciated the privacy of the sites. Timber Butte Cabin offers a more secluded experience but lacks many standard amenities, with no electricity, running water, or toilet facilities.

Options range from rustic forest service cabins to more developed resort-style accommodations. Musick Guard Station provides a historic cabin experience in the Umpqua National Forest, with one reviewer noting it has "no electricity or running water" but offers "amazing scenery." Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months. Pet policies vary by location—The Willamettans and River Bend County Park allow pets at their cabin sites, while Timber Butte Cabin prohibits pets. Belknap Hot Springs Lodge and Gardens offers cabin rentals year-round with access to mineral hot spring pools.

Most cabins include basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between locations—some provide only outdoor fire rings while others may include basic kitchen setups. Several campgrounds feature on-site stores for essential supplies. Dexter Shores RV Park and Eugene Kamping World RV Park both have markets where basic provisions can be purchased. For more substantial grocery needs, visitors should stock up in larger towns before arrival. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, many cabins maintain good cleanliness standards with regular maintenance, though amenities can be limited at more remote locations.

    Umpqua's Last Resort & Oregon Mountain Guides

    An adventure and accommodation for everyone!

    General: Located just across the street from the North Umpqua River, there is a mix of:•

    * petite RV sites (RVs up to 20’ with FHU 20-30 amp- 3)

    * deluxe RV sites (RVs up to 29’ with FHU 30-50 amp- 5)

    * Super RV sites (RVs up to 60’ with FHU 50 amp- 7)

    * glamping tents (7)

    * cabins with heat and A/C(4)

    * a cottage

    * a tiny home

    * camper

    * retro bunkhouse

    * retro RV 

    Site Quality: We were in a deluxe RV site that had a level gravel camper pad, electric hookup, fire ring, and picnic table. Unlike most RV parks, there was a decent amount of foliage between most sites to provide a measure of privacy. 

    Bath/Shower House: Two toilets, two sinks, and two showers. Clean but limited privacy for the toilets with just a curtain. Bench and hooks are outside of showers with no other separation so there is a lack of privacy there as well (did not use the shower so I cannot comment on how well it worked, although they looked nice). 

    Activities/Amenities:

    * Guided and Self-guided hiking tours

    * Guided and self-guided mountain bike tours

    * a full-day waterfall tour ($75 pp, with 24-hour advance notice)

    * whitewater rafting tours

    * Stream and river fishing holes

    * Fly fishing and hunting

    * Kayak rentals on Toketee Lake (We had hoped to do this, but the weather had other plans)

    * Wi-Fi is available for $2.99 per 24-hour period per device but it was flaky at best

    * There is a store with ice, firewood, food, beer, and wine, apparel, propane, diesel, and gasoline, rafts, and sleds. 

    We arrived later than planned (just before dark) and it was cold and rainy the next day so we were not able to take advantage of the many nearby recreation activities but the staff recommended a nearby waterfall hike that we could do in inclement weather. We would definitely consider returning during better weather.

    River Bend County Park

    Nice, well maintained, on the river!

    We had a great time staying at River Bend! This was our first trip here and won’t be our last, we’ve already made reservations for next year.

    The sites were maintained very well and the camp hosts were very friendly. In addition to the paved driveway for our trailer, there always a nice, large concrete pad for the picnic table with a fire pit built on to the corner. The neighboring site on the right was 20-30 yards away and the site on the left was 100+ yards away. Lots of trees all around, good shade for those hot August days.

    The bathrooms for the loop were a nice walk but not too far and they were cleaned 2x per day.

    We spent most of our days at the river swimming, floating in tubes, skipping rocks and looking for crawdads. It was an easy walk on well maintained trails to get to the river.

    The playground and adjacent field were fun for playing and games in the evenings.

    Being a long, hot year there were no fires allowed in the fire pits. That was a small bummer, but the fire danger was so high that it wasn’t a big deal. We used our propane fire ring instead and that was great. Kind of nice coming away from a camping trip and not smelling of smoke 😁

    Umpqua's Last Resort & Oregon Mountain Guides

    Beautiful area and great location, updates needed

    For us, Umpqua’s Last Resort was, well, a last resort! This was all about location for us. Close to the North Umpqua? Check. Camping Cabin? Check. Available? Check. Expensive? Nope. It worked, but there is nothing fancy about this place. It is fairly small, was definitely quiet, had lots of blackberries ready to pluck, and has a little store down the road where we were able to get what we needed. The cabin was fine, but the shower house had seen better days. Trails and creeks were accessible from the property and it is in the neighborhood for a great day rafting, fun swimmin’ holes and Crater Lake National Park. In 2015, cell reception was spotty.

    Odell Lake

    Beautiful and windy

    We booked site 30, which is up a hill away from the water with a few other sites (27, 28, 29). The site was rated for 32 feet and we were able to comfortably fit our 31 foot trailer and long bed truck. We did have to pull in way too close to the fire pit to make this work but there is a burn ban so we would not have been using it anyway. It would have been nice to know that we were up a hill since we have a toddler, but it wasn’t a huge deal.

    The trailer took up the vast majority of the level space available at the site, but otherwise it would be a nice space for a tent and chairs around the fire.

    Be aware that the wind picks up around noon and goes super strong until after you go to bed. It’s great for not getting any mosquito bites but it is not a mild breeze!

    The lodge staff weren’t overly helpful but not hostile either. I’m sure they are understaffed and annoyed by tourists just like everyone else. They had live music Saturday night and we would have loved to go if our little one wasn’t asleep.

    The area has so many hikes and bike trails so close by that you could spend weeks there and not get bored.

    River Bend County Park

    Love this place, Can't wait to go back!

    Came here to meet up with a Facebook camping group. It was one member's favorite place and I see why! Nice level sites with water and electric. Dump station on site. The sites are private with picnic tables and fire pits. The bathrooms are very nice. Peeked inside some of the creekside cabins. Those look super cute.

    The main attraction here is the South Santiam River, which in October is stunning. Would love to visit in the summer when can actually take a dip. It's a great place to come and sit and meditate, watch the birds, just relax. Love it here!

    Hi-Way Haven RV Park

    Great experience!

    Great RV park! All sites are pull through, fenced off leash dog area, several other on leash dog areas, playground, nice little store, ice, propane on site, and most importantly the movies on the old drive-in screen Thursday through Saturday nights during the summer! I cannot comment on the showers as I used my own and not theirs. 30 and 50 amp sites. Nice packed gravel sites with paved patio areas and wood fence dividers between sites. Each site has bistro style table and chairs (2). I really enjoyed!! Oh and if you choose to sit in the nice grassy area (plastic Adirondack chairs provided) for the movie they serve free popcorn 🍿 If you can see screen from your site the sound on FM station. Good wineries close too!!

    River Bend County Park

    Pretty

    This campground was really nice. The staff was really nice, people were pretty quiet during quiet hours. They have some first come first serve spots. I felt like the concrete slab kept the ground more dry than had it just been gravel, it didn't bother me too much. The camping spots are close together but as I walked around I noticed that there were alot of nice electric spots. You could probably tent camp in one if you wanted more privacy. This would be a nice place to take the kids, there is a small playground and a feild. Lots of nice trees and a trail.

Guide to Dexter

Dexter, Oregon sits in the Willamette Valley at an elevation of approximately 900 feet, bordered by the Middle Fork Willamette River and Dexter Lake. Summer temperatures typically range from 75-85°F with cooler 45-60°F evenings, making cabin camping a comfortable option even during peak season. The area experiences moderate rainfall from October through May, with most campgrounds remaining accessible year-round.

What to do

River swimming access: At River Bend County Park, the South Santiam River provides excellent swimming holes during summer months. "The river is gorgeous and fun to romp in," notes Cassie M., while another camper mentions "direct access to the south santiam river for swimming and fishing."

Hot springs soaking: Belknap Hot Springs Lodge and Gardens offers natural hot spring pools about an hour's drive from Dexter. "The hot spring fed pools are so amazing. The hidden garden is something out of a movie," says Josh K. The springs maintain a consistent temperature year-round, making them enjoyable in any season.

Disc golf: Whistlers Bend County Park features a championship-level disc golf course. "Disc golf rated number 2 in nation," according to Tim W., while another reviewer describes the "sprawling and varried disc golf course with some spectacular long shots, and tight trees."

What campers like
