Best Glamping near Fort Rock, OR

First, the only two negatives, both very minor. Very dusty. Dust everywhere. Expect dust...everywhere. The road in the North Loop is for whatever reason bumpy with those regular bumps that just get annoying very quickly. That’s it, negatives over. Campsites are well spaced apart. Trees everywhere! If you head west from the loops and past the pet exercise area there’s a dusty (of course) road that will take you to the river. A great place to put your floaties/kayaks in and float down to the day use area. Also that same put in spot is nice for stargazing. I got a great pic of the comet! My family loved the trails for biking. We never got around to seeing the big tree, but maybe next time. Bathrooms and showers are clean and warm. Lots of cool local activities nearby as well like Twin Lakes and Fort Rock. Hole in the Ground was awesome too.

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!

Stopped here on the way through Oregon. Campground is fairly extensive and has nice wooded sites. Onsite staff very friendly and helpful.

My only complaint is that it’s very difficult to reach someone via phone to make reservation changes (one time, I had to hold for 59 min). Highly recommend signing up for an account, which allows you to make changes without having to reach their call center

With the Deschutes River meandering through this campground, a forest of ponderosa pines, miles and miles of bike, horse and hiking trails, plus the largest ponderosa pine in the Oregon, LaPine State Park is a great place to go camping. 

North Loop is best for tents and small RVs. (Only 20 amp). South and Central are better for big rigs. They also have cabins. 

Showers are hot and clean. The river is right there! Don't miss the hike to Fall River Falls where the water is so clear, you can see the trout just hanging out by the shore. 

At 4,000 feet, nights are cold and days clear and bright. The night sky is amazing. Lots to do in the area, or just hang out in the park. 

AT&T service is better than Verizon, but both will work at various places in the park.

Cozy place great for large groups Has every thing a campground needs

We stayed in Site # 16 which backed up to the hill in the Deschutes National Forrest. The resort and lake is across the street. It's a big lake with good fishing. The restaurant food was just ok and a little pricey. You might get lucky at the restaurant and get cell service but I did not, some are luckier. We had deer out back, pikas & pretty yellow birds with redheads.

Caught some Kokanee had someone in the campground with a smoker he gave us a smoked Kokanee.

It was cold several days & nights it graupeled on us several times, never saw graupel before.

There was an area not open yet which is where we would have launched the kayak they were clearing it out after the winter. 

We went to the big Obsidion Flow is down the road it was cool to go hike on it, Lava that looks like black glass.

With a general store, boat launch, beach and restaurant, this quaint little "resort" is a small collection of 1960s cabins along a simple gravel parking lot/road and most either on or with a view of the lake. If you want to swim, fish, boat and hang out with family and let the kiddos run all over and get sunburned and tired, this is a pretty fun, rustic place to do so.

Rates run from the low $100s for a studio up to the high $200s for a cabin that will sleep 8 or larger. It's also a popular place for people to swing by and eat/meet up so plenty of traffic coming and going.

No TVs/wifi etc. for those who care. There's also an RV area across the street run by the same resort that is relatively new. We saw a few tent sites as well but didn't inquire about them.

I am floored by the customer service at this lodge. My friends and I visited this winter and will not be returning again after a series of issues with our stay. 

After visiting, I received a brief email from Karen Brown saying that we had damaged their new table in the Bluebird cabin. Throughout this entire month, I have requested over six times for a picture, as wanted to see what damage she was referring to. I have called and emailed and talked with other staff to please see the damage, and I never heard back. They charged me the labor and damage without even letting me see what it looked like. 

Additionally, we had some lights not working, smoke detectors chirping, and a large container of diesel, which was unmarked, resting right near the wood burning stove. We did not realize this until one of the employees had to come to help us out with the stove, as there were no directions, and let us know how dangerous it was that it was sitting right there. We felt pretty alarmed, as we hadn't moved the container upon our arrival and we did not know it was diesel as the container had nothing written on it. 

I have stayed up in the crater for three years now and have used Paulina Lake's cabins for two of them. I'm feeling pretty put out by our latest visit there particularly with this charge and lack of information given to us upon our arrival. I loved visiting here, but I will not be doing so anymore.

Great out of the way location!

I discovered this lodge and its cabins when exploring Paulina Lake. It’s right on Paulina Lake with beautiful views, tons of fishing, and hiking/snowmobiling. It appears they rent boats for fishing when they are open. The lodge and its cabins were closed at the time I was there (COVID?).

If I were to return I would consider this place for its views, solitude, and easy access to lots of hiking.

Nice place

Great place great host

Extremely dusty, not much shade & cleaned up my site when arriving. Hosts were flexible with where and when I stayed there, which was helpful.

It has nice open spaces.

Ourge kids had plenty of room to play out outdoor games.

Sswimming pool was just the right temperature.

This is a really clean, pleasant site Can hear the train. Bathrooms are beautifuly updated an clean!! We rode in late and was not a problem welcomed us like family! Tent site was rustic and had a spigot near by! Plenty of sites for a group. Pet friendly. Grass at RV sites.

We stayed here for 8 days. Nice Bathrooms and showers. Laundry was clean and reasonably priced. The one thing that you should be aware of, is there a is very little shade. All and all we would stay here again.
