Located partway along the Crooked River’s 125-mile journey from the Ochoco Mountains to its confluence with the Deschutes River, the Prineville Reservoir is a vast blue pool filling a colorful canyon of volcanic rock, sagebrush and juniper. The reservoir was created in the 1960s with the construction of the Bowman Dam. The state park was established shortly after to provide campers, anglers and water lovers an opportunity to enjoy the natural area—and a chance to beat Central Oregon’s summer heat. The park lies adjacent to the Prineville Reservoir Wildlife Area, which preserves the habitat of a wide variety of mammals, waterfowl, songbirds and raptors. Prineville Reservoir State Park is located just 15 miles south of the town of Prineville, and 50 miles east of Bend. The park’s Main Campground features 67 sites, including full- and partial-hookup RV sites and primitive tent sites. The Jasper Point Campground features 28 partial-hookup sites. Both locations provide drinking water, flush and vault toilets, hot showers, and recycling stations; a dump station is located at the Jasper Point site. There are also a few camping cabins for rent. The park hosts interpretive programs at an outdoor amphitheater, and onsite amenities include sports courts, hiking trails, a dog park, and a fishing pier. The park host sells ice and firewood. Dogs are welcome, but must remain leashed. Seasonal campsites are $21–$33/night; cabins are $89–$99/night; reservations recommended. For enjoying some on-the-water fun time, boaters can launch watercraft from the ramp at the day-use area, which has plenty of parking for vehicles and trailers. Nearby, sunbathers and swimmers can enjoy some beach time at the designated swim area. Picnic tables are available for packing lunches and refreshments to enjoy by the water. For paddling around the shoreline, kayaks and SUPs can be put in from either the boat launch or the beach. Anglers can cast for trout, catfish, bass and black crappie, then take their catches back and prep them for dinner at the park’s fish cleaning station. Another boat ramp, beach and parking area is located west of the state park at Powder House Cove, near the Bowman Dam.

Suttle Lake is surrounded by mixed conifer forest. Its waters are deep and clear, formed in a terminal moraine, deposited by glacial ice about 25,000 years ago. Lake Creek flows eastward from Suttle Lake to the Metolius River. The clear, cold Metolius flows north from headwater springs through diverse coniferous forests and a volcanic landscape with extinct volcanoes, cinder cones, calderas and ancient lava flows.
Visitors can explore wilderness areas, lakes, reservoirs, wild and scenic rivers and approximately 1,600 miles of trails that comprise nearly 2.5 million acres within the Deschutes National Forest and the adjacent Ochoco National Forest.

This is where our roots run deep. Our RV park sits where one of Bend’s first RV Parks opened in the 1950’s. It was on the outskirts of town at the time. Then, the town grew, and it grew around us ever-so-perfectly. People chose to live here permanently, our location is that good. Our new model and brand created a new opportunity to provide a beautiful and inviting community, brand new utilities, and better pads for everyone to come experience Bend on their terms. Oh, and did we mention our views are killer? Peep Mount Bachelor and The Sisters in all their glory, right from your RV.
Bend is known as Oregon’s urban and outdoor playground. A place you can climb your favorite Oregon mountain, paddle a pristine lake, and taste the hoppiest beers.

And if recreation is your thing (we’re going to guess it is if you’re coming to Bend), it’s all nearby. From the Cascade Lakes, to Mount Bachelor, to Smith Rock, everything is close to home at The Camp.

Great location and the amenities were those of a full service RV resort. Bathrooms & showers, pet area, trash service, fire pit rings, and more. Big pull through spots. Right off the road so there was a bit of road boise but still overall great.
Traveler
We were only there one night. We had a pull through which was nice. Sites were gravel and there was grass in the park, also nice trees. Sites were fairly close together. Nicely stocked shop available. Pool looked nice but we didn't use it. We could smell cigarette smoke which was unpleasant so the park must not be smoke free. Part of why we only give it 3 stars. We felt like it was on the spendy side but park was easy to get to and camp staff seemed pleasant.
Guide
This is a decent camp spot within an hour and a half of Portland metro. It has limited services, potable water, garbage and pit toilets. The water was nice, plenty deep for paddling or wading. It is pretty small, so not too many sites.
There was a Camp Host present thankfully and daily Sheriff drive by during the weekend. This was welcome due to a few obnoxious party groups. One in particular turned the forest into a rave with lights that flashed into tents, which was irritating. I think the Sheriff spoke to them because they headed out the next day. We had a nice weekend but I probably wouldn’t stay much longer than that in the future.
GuideAlthough all the sites were taken, we were given a spot near a cabin with fullhook-up facilities. Also the use of picknick bench and chairs for tat cabin. The cabin was blocked for rental. The campground was very well maintained.
Guide
Antelope is a strange and beautiful little place. Part ghost town, part living community, it is often a welcome oasis on the Oregon Outback cycling trail. The path north out of Prineville is a beautiful ascent-descent of the Ochoco Mountains, which is pretty exhausting. If weather is a factor (we arrived in cold, wet and punishing wind) Antelope is a much better place to camp than Shaniko which is 8 miles up on a plateau.
The RV Park is a work in progress. We arrived without a reservation and were given a very nice spot to camp behind an old diner. Some small a-frame cabins are available with more being built, and a few spots to park campers with sewer dump and 30 amp hookups.
Overall I give this campground an outstanding rating. Hospitable, well-equipped, well-situated… great spot.
ScoutThis place is a pure gem. Heaven on earth. Make sure to take the road to or from Shiniko to see the view.

We enjoyed a stay here in May. Nice, quiet and peaceful. Busy during the summer!
Boating and fishing rule here, but also places for hiking and just enjoying a fire by the lake.
Typical camping cabin with rubber covered mattresses. If we do it again and had room in the car, we'd bring an inexpensive memory foam pad to put under the sleeping bags.
Some cooking facilities and BBQ. Nice little patio with chairs, looking over the lake.
We truly enjoyed it!
Scout
Amazing spot with some great views road past the gate a bit rough but nothing any 4x4 can handle. Very peaceful and secluded. Watch out for Siberian tigers, house cats and sugar gliders. I would recommend bringing at least one can of beans. Again please he aware of the crazy tigers. Also land leaches and water rats. As long as you bring ham and cheese you should be fine (tigers are scared of ham duhh) anyway bring your family here maybe a cousin or two.
GuideWe stopped here for one night. It was a week day and rainy so not much going on. A lot of pull through spots. Said they would deliver pizzas they make to your site which is nice but we skipped. It wasn’t terrible and we would stay again if in that area.
Legend
We were able to score a couple of nights here in Early May. It's a very popular Oregon State Park and I'm sure summer requires advance planning. The weekend we were there was pretty full and our site was at the top of the B loop. Monday, however, the park cleared out to much fewer campers. The lake was actually mostly full and the views were beautiful. Some of the amenities were boating, of course, lake views from some sites, a nice dog park along with the normal state park fare. We'll definitely make another trip!
TravelerOnly stayed one night, had walking access to the lake and a huge pretty secluded campsite. Beautiful area and almost no one there as of the end of September
ScoutEvery Clean bathrooms staff there is amazing and every helpful too you very quite there it was so nice there
Guide
Sweet little campground. Mostly close together, family oriented sites. Early September there was still plenty of water in the reservoir and they were still renting kayaks and boats, which was appreciated given the glorious weather. Moderate Verizon cell signal. Enough to text and receive and send email. Laid-back and friendly place.
ScoutWe are here as camp hosts; the rangers are great to work with. The campground is beautiful, we have deer and squirls and lizards every day. It was so fun to watch the squirls play. The roads are paved, and the sites are as well with fire pits and picnic tables. full hookups with fifty amps or you can choose a lessor grade site. The lake is full, and the fishing is good. I have seen ospreys diving into the lake hunting. sites are mostly level, and the roads are wide.
ScoutOnce you are past the gate, the road becomes very rough. Do not pass the gate if your vehicle doesn’t have 4WD. The tundra made it, but not very comfortably and took about 30 mins to get down to site- the road is about 1/2 mile long. If you wanted, you could just park near the gate and hike down the road. Once you reach the camping area (no marked sites) the views are beautiful, but be very careful and aware of the cliff. It’s a pretty cool spot, very secluded, and free. Convenient considering all other campgrounds in the area are paid, crowded, and the views aren’t anything special.
GuideNestled among tall trees, almost on the lakefront - this campground location is ideal! The lake water was very clear and several families were paddle boarding. Unfortunately we didn't think to check the air quality before we left - it was pretty bad due to forest fires. The vault toilets were clean enough, but they ran out of toilet paper. I was glad I brought some. The rest of the campground was very clean! I would have appreciated the hosts enforcing the no-fire rule that is in effect right now, since fire danger is extremely high. There were signs posted all over but we saw several campfires at night.
GuideStayed two nights at end of June. Reservoir is full but has algae bloom along shore. Firewood and ice is available to purchase on site. bathrooms and showers were clean and well kept. Sites near the water have a nice breeze sometimes. Some sites have partial shade. roads and campsite drives are paved.
Legend
You can’t beat it. Walk to anything. Walk to everything. A whole pod of Food trucks less than a mile away, breweries, outdoor adventures and super close to the sports fields were at all weekend for the kids tournaments. Clean & hot showers in a trailer. Cute communal patio / bbq area with a lending library of books and dvds
LegendNice pool, great staff, quick check in, good sites w/two water spigots, convenient store, food truck and ice cream social tonight! clean showers & bathrooms, good park and good options for pups. I know this isn’t in the KOA’s control but 20,000+ miles on the road and these are the best camping neighbors we’ve ever had - and they’re from all over the Western US.
GuideWe were only here for one night and it was raining but the spots were easy and mostly level. Friendly staff and there were horses on beyond the fence my daughter loved watching
ScoutWe tried to follow the GPS coordinates but the road leads to a dangerous cliff edge full of rocks, not passable by cars. We had to turn around.
GuideWe stayed here for two nights late March early April. We had snow and some wind, but this place was beautiful. The facilities were immaculate and the rangers were amazing. Unfortunately the reservoir was very low, but perhaps there will be water later in the year. Long drive for us from the Tri Cities, but we’ll make this trip again!
GuideAbsolutely loved this place great spot for the night. Clean showers and laundry room and grill and sitting area were awesome. A++ stay
ScoutThe tent site area wasn't where we stayed but there are 3 cabins just above the boat docks that have the most beautiful view to wake up to in the morning. The cabins shared a fire pit between the 3 cabins and the cabins were close together but far enough apart for privacy. Tbey each had their own private bathrooms also so no walking in the dark to the bathrooms at midnight
Scout
I’ve camped here for many years, the campground is my absolute favorite. The friendly staff does an amazing job keeping the restrooms, showers and grounds clean. They offer Tent sites, Yurts, cabins, large RV spaces with full or partial hookups, boat rental, store, cafe, fish cleaning station, group shelter with electricity and electric cooking stoves.
Guide
About 5 miles off main highway, on the edge of Lake Simtustus, they have boat sliis, pontoon boats and kayaks to rent. Nicely spaced camp sites, and clean restrooms. 200 foot drop from office to lakeside, but the provide golf carts at no extra charge to go up and down the hill!
TravelerNo water in the Resorvoir! But campfires were ok in August.. The campground was nice enough, but no playing in the water
