Best RV Parks & Resorts near Gilchrist, OR

Small RV park in Silver Lake. Well maintained level sites with grass in between. Quiet. Full hookups. Bathrooms and showers are clean but could use some minor TLC. Has a laundry. Friendly staff. Good value at $30 cash. Quite a bit to do in the area. Recommend

This is what Thousand Trails has become. Lots of permanent residence with junkie sites. Trash in the fire pit. Run down facilities. Lots of dust. At least this campground Has a little more space between sites compared to other Thousand Trails. The other good thing is that you are fairly close to Sunriver and about 20-30 minutes to Bend. We wouldn’t stay here again, but hey, it was free since our dealer gave us the Thousand Trails Membership.

Busy campground but the sites at least have some trees around them. Great location. Like all Thousand Trails could be better if they would invest a little in upkeep. Decent cell signal (T-Mobile 5G). No brainer if you are a Thousand Trails member. Otherwise there may be other options in the area less resortish.

We had a wonderful stay! It was the first time we've stayed at a Thousand Trails resort and I must say, they have set the BAR! The scenery was incredible, the amenities were by far amazing, and the staff was more than kind. We took advantage of their electrical and water hookups for our RV, the onsite 24 hour laundry facilities, and the lodge with wifi access so I could attend to some of my freelance work. Other amenities included a swimming pool, mini golf course, tennis courts, horseshoe rings, and more! I would highly recommend this resort!

This is the largest Thousand Trails campground in the country. I love this place because you have so much room, the trees are everywhere, it feels like you’re camping in the forest but you have hook ups and amenities. The showers are great the access to the river is wonderful the people are amazing and as I said, it’s my favorite!

I’m a long time Thousand Trails member and can recall when TT campgrounds were much better maintained. They are generally now under funded and under staffed but the staff here are doing the best with what they have and added to their burden is Covid. The roads and sites are gravel and generally level, not very private. The sites have water and electricity, the bathrooms are clean & showers have a good supply of hot water. The laundry is maintained and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Nice campground overall and amenities that include showers for guest, outside sinks at shower house for tent camping etc, small but newish playground, many FULL hook up sites for RVs (30amp only)… Day parking across the road from campground is river front to the Deschuttes River (very shallow) and was great for wadding in during warm months. Closest campground to Bend without being IN Bend Close to neighbors for all sites and they are all always full it seems…very convenient campground though!

We felt very confident when we selected the bronze area in Crown Villa Bend RV Resort because we've stayed in Sun RV Resorts in California before and they were well maintained. Unfortunately, Crown Villa bronze category was extremely disappointing. Now if you paid extra for platinum or gold, the spaces were absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. However, the bronze and copper were ridiculously neglected. Never have I stayed in an RV "Resort" with foot high weeds. Site 705 (and the site across from it) also are literally at the end of the road with no turn around space to park. Luckily the vehicles were gone at the sites across and next to us or we wouldn't have been able to maneuver around our rig to park.

My kids are helping us out with reviews for parks. Kids loved Sunriver-Bend Thousand Trails because there is bunnies, bullfrogs, mini-golf, a great little river to float on or swim in, ladderball, bingo, movies outside, and some pretty great pools!

We will definitely be coming back here!

Very beautiful RV resort. You get what you pay for!

While it’s a shoulder to shoulder RV park, it is centrally located to a lot of sites between Crater Lake and Bend. The office was very friendly and helpful. My site (26) only had electric, but it was less crowded and quite nice. The other sites have full hookups and seem to be filled with semi permanent residents. WiFi is weak. Walking distance to a handful of services in town.

I stayed here for 5 nights. It is a Thousand Trails campground. They offered to apply the cost of my stay toward a membership which was a good deal but I declined. The campground nicely wooded, seemed quiet, slight distant road noise. Bathrooms are basic, old, clean. Roads are gravel, dry as a bone and very dusty. Campsite was level without using any blocks. Electricity, 30 amp, was fine and water pressure good. They had a very nice pool and clubhouse area, apparently defunct and “under repairs” for ages with no signs of active work. Air quality was horrible due to wildfires such that I left before my reservation ended. The dump stations are very tight for space and located in odd areas such that I would have had to meander through the dust and squeeze into the space. Water supply was in the center between the two stations so not ideal. Admittedly, if not for the horrible air quality and fire ban I probably would have noticed the rough edges less.

Awesome little campground. We came in on motorcycles & stayed overnight in tents. Owner was friendly & very accommodating, all around nice guy. Park was in process of expanding, adding a more RV hookups, a couple more tent sites, & hopefully another shower house. Would absolutely recommend if you are in Crescent, OR area, it's close to Bend, & has a couple of good restaurants close by. Will definitely be back.

I know this is an RV resort, but tent camping wasn’t like I expected. If you are tent camping you are relegated to the “tent area” which is ok, near the bathrooms so that’s a plus, but also just an open area you share with all other tent campers. They do have some ok amenities, like the pool and activities, so that may make up for the lack of privacy for some. Everything is fairly clean, and well kept up. All together not a bad spot, but I think next time we will find a campground more friendly to tent campers.

Campground near the lake, with full hook-ups. Disappointing , and for us a disadvantage, there was no cellphone reception and no internet acces possible Also no WiFi available.

Nice park. We we're passing through the area. Decided to stay a 2nd night & go see Lake Crescent, 20-30 min drive away. The park was quiet & clean. Showers are nice, old houses converted to showers. So they have more of a "home" feel to them. Rather than the "public shower" a lot of places have. RV spots have partial & full hookups. Wifi & cable hookups as well. Good cel coverage in area too.

We got stuck in a snowstorm and Katelyn answered the phone and cheerfully and quickly hooked us up with a site that had electric hook up for our truck camper. Very easy. She text us the info and sent the $20 bill to our email which made it much quicker and easier to get settled. Standard shoulder to shoulder RV park but running water and just what we needed.

This campground was in a great location to go see crater lake (15 min drive or less) as well as nearby Hot Springs (30ish min drive) and waterfalls. The campground itself was wooded and very close to diamond lake, it was a very beautiful location. There were lots of close by walking trails which was wonderful.

The amenities were nice enough, sometimes the showers are hot and others times was not. Most of the laundry machines were working with several out of service, and worked well enough.

The staff was helpful and gave suggestions for nearby hiking and Hot Springs. Sites included fire ring, a picnic table, and full hook ups. The stars at night were incredible.

Well maintained, clean, and a beautiful setting along the middle fork of the Willamette River. We lucked out and got a riverside site with full hookups. Paved road and level sites from what I observed. Even an "on your honor" ice cream machine! This is near the small community of Westfir which has a small lodge with micro brews and lunch items, which were both great. Easy bicycle ride. Oakridge is nearby too and has many amenities. Book this early. From talking to fellow campers, it's usually full.

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 :)
