"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."
"This was our first time to La Pine County Park. Unfortunately it was during the horrible fires of the west coast and Oregon was not spared. "
"We stayed two nights, August 15 through August 17, 2019, in campsite I-9, the overnight cost was$0.00 due to our Thousand Trails membership( our site had electrical and water service)."
"Stopped here on the way through Oregon. Campground is fairly extensive and has nice wooded sites. Onsite staff very friendly and helpful."

About 25 miles south of Bend, Oregon, Paulina and East Lakes are twin calderas located in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument area of the Deschutes National Forest that have"
"None of the sites are actually lakeside here, but the trees provide good protection from the wind that comes of the lake from the other side."

"Small campground along the edge of the lake; every spot has a beautiful view of the mountains and the lake, and has quick access to the water."
"It’s tucked up against a hill and surrounded by trees, so it was easy to find shade throughout the day."
$19 - $21 / night
"We selected this campsite due to its proximity to Paulina Lake. We brought SUP boards and only had to make a 7 minute drive before we got to the boat dock."
"Big spots, 2 separate loops, creek is accessible to every site, lots of fun to hop around and look at. Quiet, off the beaten path, the trail that runs through is beautiful in any direction."
$21 - $23 / night
"A little close to the road but nice being next to the river. The river is nice and shallow but cold. Pit toilets were clean. Lots of spots reserved but no one in them. That shouldn’t be allowed."
"Flat area for tents, plenty of trees for hammocks, and easy access to the river. We did notice a fair amount of garbage, so maybe bring an extra bag to pack it out with you just in case."
"Hwy 97 is nearby but other than the road noise from that it is a quiet location. Bathrooms and laundry rooms are very clean. Has an off-leash area for dogs."
"Tent site was rustic and had a spigot near by! Plenty of sites for a group. Pet friendly. Grass at RV sites."
$23 - $25 / night
"There’s a beautiful walk along the creek just down the hill from the campsites that you can make a loop out of. Close to the Newberry Volcanic Monument, High Desert Museum, and Sunriver/Bend."
"Convient location to explore the Newberry crater area"
$23 - $25 / night
"There are only a few sites to choose from but they are on a pennisula surrounded the the river. The spaces are still spaced enough to have privacy but close enough to party if you want."
"Note that forest service road 4370 is gated closed between Wyeth Campground after the boat launch to the intersection of 6599 near Bull Bend Campground."
$27 - $29 / night
"Our first time here at East Lake Campground in the last week of September 2023 just 1 day before the park closed for the season."
"There are several campgrounds in the immediate area (near the twin lakes of East Lake and Paulina Lake) and this is one of the most popular both because of the nice beach, but also because it's fairly"
ScoutSupposedly there are 2 areas you can camp- a parking lot and various spots down the dirt path. Well, the dirt path had a gate up and was closed. I saw a sign up saying that the area is closed for camping because they are doing prescribed burns. Rumor is that they recently evicted a bunch of people that were camping on this land. Another person in town told me that the town has been cracking down on the free camping here.
That being said, I did end up staying in the parking lot, and I saw a few others stay too. It was a little awkward in the morning because the area is really busy with mountain bikers, but if you park farther away from the trailhead, should be fine.
I personally prefer an area where you can pull in and have some level of privacy, this is definitely not that.
ScoutExtremely Pleasant. Close to Sisters, Camp Sherman and Suttle Lake.
ScoutWe just stopped for one night on our way south. We were the only ones there so super peaceful and quiet. It’s not a traditional RV campground in that you don’t really have individual spaces. There are 4 pit toilets and a dump station along with fire pits and picnic tables. It was May 11th and there was still some snow in the area and the pay box was covered up so with no way to pay, the price was right too.
TravelerVery clean. Good restroom. Hiking trail to Jasper is about 2 miles and very easy to walk. It was very quiet during weekday. No service for T-Mobile though.
GuideMust book on ReserveAmerica.com. Drove around to select potential sites then confirmed open and booked online. Well paved streets and campsites. Most tent sites also accommodate RV's. Very good restrooms and showers. Very quiet at night. Some minor background road noise beginning around 7am. If have tent site, nearest dump station is CampingWorld... only a few miles away at north side of Bend. Dump station list provided at entry gate is outdated. Also close to Costco, Trader Joe's, etc for shopping. Enjoyed the Deschutes Brewery tour and High Desert Museum! Fine campground at reasonable price.
GuideWe spent several nights in Aug 2022. Weather was war, the Kayaking on the Lake and Marshes was very fun. Hosner Lake is super clear. There was however NO drinking water in the campground. We had to go to a nearby campground to fill our water containers.
ScoutAmazing spot beautiful and quiet. Not alot of spots but amazing walking trails
GuideSome traffic, but not terrible. Was here in July and it was dusty dusty
ScoutIt was close to the highway but no one was there, trash seemed a little problem but besides that, it's good
