Best RV Parks & Resorts near Diamond, OR

This little gem is nestled in SE Oregon and features an assortment of camping options, from private tee-pee, dry camping, to full RV hook ups this place can accommodate any guest. The water is naturally at 160 degrees yet they "hold" the temp at 100 degrees. This may make it a bit cool for some. The spring is actually fed into a pond with a soft, black gravel/sand bottom. There are private soaking tubs available though at 15 bucks a head per hour the cost is on the high side. We found it to be a worthy treat though we must declare that hot springs are our personal favorites. We stayed in dry camp site #2 which featured its own picnic table and fire ring. Fires are permitted yet while we stayed you were required to have a bucket of water on site while the fire was burning. Wood is available at 7 bucks a bundle and the water buckets are provided for use FOC. There is minimal shade though the camp does have a community center with wifi and AC. There is also a communal kitchen. The kitchen is 24/7 and the center is 8am to 9pm. Showers are super clean though a bit cramped. The best part is that the pond is 24/7 and stargazing under an expansive sky while soaking I. the healing warm waters is a magical experience. Check it out, you won't regret it. Last arrival,is at 9pm and mandatory quiet is from 10pm to sunrise. Book on this one was "The Kybalion, and musIc was The Deads Europe '72. Enjoy it boppers….

This was a great stop over for us coming from Corvallis. We stayed one full day as we have kids and they can only last so long on the road. The owners were extremely helpful and welcoming. All the sites are nicely groomed. The utility hook ups were in great condition, the bathrooms and laundry facilities on site were in great condition. The local pool is a must stop specially if you have kids, it’s was extremely cheap $11 for two adults and two kids. Also the local park right by the RV park is another amazing spot to go hang out for a few hours. Definitely all the amenities or store that you would need in a close vicinity.

The only annoying part which the owners cant control was the mosquitoes were crazy. Not sure if it was just the time of year or the mosquitoes are always that thick. But just a tip bring mosquito spray or long clothing if you plan to be up outside at night. If you’re a light sleeper maybe request to see if you can stay further back in the park there is a road that is close, and my wife did mention that she did hear the vehicles going by in the evening.

Overall I would stay here anytime again, and if it wasn’t so far out-of-the-way I would probably plan a trip just to come back to stay longer. We had a 28 foot trailer with full hook ups. I was able to park our trailer and full-size pick up in our spot.

Beautiful smaller RV park. Reasonable rates, very nice staff. Small store with necessities (yes, that means beer). Lots of trees for shade. Level sites. A repeat if ever there was one

Our truck broke down just outside of Burns and we ended up having our travel trailer towed to this RV park, as it was the only place we could stay for the week while waiting to get our truck repaired. We had a full hookup spot, which was super nice, but the spot itself was pretty small. This is typical of many RV parks I have been too - good amenities but small spot.

There were some other spots in the park that were slightly larger and had picnic tables, but ours did not. We had only a tiny plastic table with 2 chairs, but we were so close to the RV next to us that we were basically either looking in their window or we would have to be right next to the "road'. Not ideal so we didn't spend much time outside.

There was room here for all sizes of campers - from tents (I saw I guy on a bicycle who tent camped for the night) to giant motorhomes with cars towed behind. The park hosts were all extremely nice and helpful, given our circumstances. They also gave us a military discount since my husband is a veteran.

Restrooms and showers were fairly small (only 2 toilets and 2 showers in each bathroom) but I think most folks used the facilities in their RVs. The shop/office sells propane and ice, so we were able to restock on both (plus they have wine and ice cream if you need a little splurge).

The park is right off of the highway so you may get some truck/traffic noise but it didn't seem to bother us city folks too much. :)

Wifi was fairly decent and you can get some local channels in the TV, if those things are important to you.

Dog and kid friendly, but there is really not much for either to do here.

Overall, this suited our purpose, in that we had a nice safe place to stay while our truck was repaired, but I'm not sure I would stay here just for kicks. Close to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge and a great stopover if you need a night to rest while driving through the high desert of Oregon.

We lost our turbo about 60 miles from this site and we called to see if we could spend the night while our truck got worked on. She said yes and met us at the entrance! Beautiful view, flat camp sites, full hook ups. Will definitely stop here Again!

There are 10 gravel sites with full hook ups. Sites 1-4 have 30 & 50 amp. The other sites have 30 amp only. We never saw any employees, just knew where to park from my reservation. There were 3 other campers the night we stayed. There was minimal road noise. Much quieter than the park at the other end of town where we have stayed numerous times in the past. We would stay here again as an overnight stop.

Normally don't stay in RV parks while traveling in our camper van, but we needed to do laundry, take showers, replenish our water supply, and recharge our power storage units after days of dispersed & primitive camping. We really liked this RV park. Tina, who checked us in, was fantastic - very friendly and welcoming. She even gave our dog treats! She put us in site #39 which was not next to big rigs. We used the water & electric at the site. Reasonably priced. The park was very clean. The laundry room and restroom/shower rooms were also clean. The meals at the cafe were good, along with good service. We weren't enthusiastic about staying at an RV park, but we were glad we did. Fit our needs for an overnight stay.

The camp ground was great. It has the basic needs for most camper trailers. There are a few sites there with shore power but I didn’t see any water hook ups. There is water there if you need to fill up jugs, tanks or water bottles. There is a single flushing toilet that is available for overnighters as well as small store with food and drinks for sale. The staff was very nice and helpful. Be aware of the wind! Our first night in our teardrop was pretty rocky. Almost lost our awning because the gusts were at or above 60mph. We talked to the staff and they said to orient the trailer front towards the mountains. It seriously helped a lot. If you tent camp, I would recommend some sort of windscreen or just use your vehicle to block it somehow. Overall the scenery is majestic and is worth the drive out there. 10/10

Right by the freeway but super nice park. Showers, fhu, cable, wifi is really slow, tee pee, tent and RV Park.

I tried the other RV park on the other side of town to discover they were closed. Despite be close to the main road there’s not a lot of traffic

We stayed one night here and really enjoyed it! Interesting place with RV spaces, motel rooms, cabins, and teepees The hot springs are incredible! Clean facilities. It’s worth the drive to get here!

We blew through here on the way to the steens. Still pretty far away from the gorge and things worth seeing. Seemed like a good option for RVs who didnt want to deal with steens loop to leave their trailer. Watch for snaaaaakes and mosquitos. Big sites, but not a lot of privacy or shade.

Our truck broke down just a mile or so from this campground and boy, were we glad they were there! We were leaking diesel fuel and smoke was coming from our engine by the time we found this spot to pull in. The staff was extremely nice, even though there was not much they could do to help. They were full for the night but said we could stay in the overflow area (no electricity or water hookups). It was definitely lucky we made it here!

The campground itself is fairly small, with RV sites with full hookups, cabins, and tent spots. For the high desert, the scenery is beautiful. It was great to relax in the hot springs after a stressful few hours of getting the truck towed to the shop and our trailer towed to the overflow site.

I can't speak for the rest of the camp spots, but the overflow sites were very bumpy and difficult to level your trailer. The staff and amenities make up for what we lacked in the overflow spot though. Common room with games and TV and coffee, along with a full kitchen to cook/clean/eat. Showers and restrooms were ok, but not superb.

While I'm very grateful we were able to camp here for the night (as it's in the middle of nowhere!), I think the price we paid for a dry camping site was a bit much. The other prices seemed a bit steep as well.

Staff was super accommodating and let us stay way past the check out time while we had to wait for roadside assistance to tow us into town the next day.

This would be a great place to stay for a night or two, if you want some relaxation and solitude. There is really not much else to do out here (hiking, etc.) and the closest town is a good 25 minutes away.

Wonderful hot springs! Included in camping fee. We are dry camping but the do have full hookups. Beautiful night sky.

This review is based on an overnight versus destination campground (CG). We followed our RV GPS to Harney County Fairgrounds. We saw the fairground entrance sign, turned into the main fairground area, and stopped in front of the office. We had called the fairground office about a week prior and left a message to call us back, which was quickly returned. The nice lady on the phone said camping was first come, first serve, and if there was no one in the office and it was normal work hours, a worker on the grounds would help us. She also said that there was nothing going on that week, so come on in. No one was at the office, so we proceeded straight into the fairgrounds. We came upon a worker, and he came over and led us to the new full hook-up area, which is in the southwest corner of the grounds. The gentleman could not have been nicer, giving us a rundown on the fairgrounds and camping areas, including opening up the new bathhouse/restroom that is located in the 30-site fenced FHU area. There was no one camping at the time, so he told us to pick any site and either pay him (cash or check) or put the payment in the slot at the office. That evening another camper came into the FHU area and another into the water and electric sites, which are at the end of the office road where you curve around and head to the FHU area about 150 yards further down the road. We chose site 18 as it had the lowest sewer connection, as most were 4 to 6 inches or more above the ground. The water, which we were told was very good/clean water, had water pressure at about 60 PSI, so we used a reducer. The pads are not marked, but you can figure out how they are laid out. Depending on how busy the FHU area might be, you could be parked very close to each other. There are a few street light poles. Overall, the FHU area is just a big parking lot but worked well as an overnighter. There are huge areas to walk or run your dog. We had stayed in the area before, and the fairgrounds are a bit cheaper than the other campgrounds in the area, but you don’t get a picnic table or other amenities other than the bathhouse. Call 541-573-6447 after hours or if no one is around to check in. Highly recommend that If it's your first time, don’t come in after dark as the sites are not well marked, and you could run over the FHU area utilities. Take a right out of the FHU area, as that road is the recommended exit. Though on the pricey side for what you get, we’d rather have the privacy and spaciousness to let our dogs run.

Nice RV spots, 9 only, overlooking the valley and just a bit off hwy 20. Newer mechanicals and pull through sites.

Syayed here on Oct 2. Paid $8 with senior pass. Nice campground. Level sites. Can accommodate all sorts of rigs, except big bus campers & long travel trailers. Trash service. Water. Clean vault toilets with tp. 2G T-Mobile service. Most sites are open with partial shade. No privacy between most sites. A few sites may accommodate hammock campers. Tent camping possible. Steens Mountain Loop Rd closed at the campground entrance.

We visited Crystal Crane Hot Springs Aug, 2018. The property has a general store, large common room with board games and book sharing, and a kitchen that can be used for cooking or food storage by all guests. Overnight accommodations include: 9 cabins, 9 RV spots, 15 tent spots, a 3 bedroom ranch house, 3 bedroom inn, and a teepee with a private hot tub. Our RV spot had a gorgeous view of the surrounding high dessert and the stars at night were amazing as there is very little light pollution. 

The employees and owners are friendly, helpful, and eager to make sure guest's needs were met. One of the men told us about a pair of tundra swans that made there home on a pond at the back of the property 

I enjoyed our stay so much that I wished we had booked more nights. It's a long drive from major towns but the drive is worth the effort,  Note this is not an appropriate campsite for the "party" crowd. This is a family-friendly place with a no-open-alcohol policy and clothing required in the pond.

We had RV spot #20 in the newer section and away from the lodging area. I think we would choose one closer to the pond next time so that we can get in more often! The pond is beautifully landscaped and clean, and everything is very clean. There are quite a few "rules", and the texts seemed a bit rude....but all of that resulted in a quiet, pleasant stay. A few up charges to watch for: $20 per extra guest $2 towel rental $10 per person early arrival charge. Great place. We'll stay again next year!

This is a very simple place to set up the tent. I got here about 10 at night, the website had a map of tent area but no markings at the site took me a bit to figure our. However free wifi helped do work in the am before I left. Definitely want a footprint pad underneath. The wind is good I was at site 10. Could here the road traffic but wasn't bad. Definitely felt safe here as a woman. If they had tent platforms to help anchor the tent to that would have been perfect but Definitely good for RVs The morning view was spectacular. Will come by here on my way back.

FEATURES:

PROS:

-A firepit with wood is provided for guests. The owner says he sometimes hosts "Smore Nights," for guests in peak season. 

-a propane grill is also available for use.

-Our back-in site for our 30 amp travel trailer wasn't too hard to get in too.

-Good wifi, though there weren't that many other people in the park at the time we were there.

-The campground is on a river, though you can't really sit by it or see due to growth along the banks.

-The office was closed when we were there, but according to their website, they have local beer, wine, and snacks for sale.

CONS:

-Bathrooms are small, two showers, two stalls.

-Our site was unlevel so we needed our levelers.

Overall a fine stay. We didn't hear the road much at all inside our trailer. We enjoyed sitting out on the picnic table at our site. Owners very nice.

Arrived in the dark and left before the sun came up but it was easy to find and hook up for our first ever night in our Roadtrek. Nice level spot. Quiet and not too terribly bright.

We were in need of a place to camp as were were driving through OR.  Found this location and decided to give it a try.  We kept tabs on the website and determined we would forgo a reservation for a mid-week overnighter.  The sites with hookups filled up for the night but not the dry camping sites.  Plus there is an overflow area.  The natural hot spring pool was wonderful and large enough to accommodate quite a few people.  We met folks from near Bend that come to this place regularly.  

The $30 dry camping fee included unlimited use of the hot spring pool, showers and restroom (There were no electrical outlets in the restroom for those wanting to use a hair dryer).  Others have described the other amenities so I won't.
