  Link Creek

  A Party around Suttle Lake, OR

  Link Creek, Suttle Lake has a unique explosion of camp sites all around. We happen to be on the west side of the lake with a handful of friends while our other handful went glamping in one of the several cabins on the east side. Day to day, we had a blast swimming, boating and creating trails of floaties (this was not a hiking trip). We rode canoes on the lake and didn't feel like the canoe/boat relationship hit heads. Our one complaint about the west side is the stinky toilets but has any campsite made non-stinky toilets? Hardly something reasonable to complain about. If you love lodging or pitching a tent. Suttle Lake has tons of trails and lake fun. Fishing on the east side is better than the west. I talked to a few fishing shops and friends to find that out. We took advantage of the lodge and restaurant for our friends birthday. We managed to pack in pinatas, rentals of all types of flotation devices, full bar, delicious food and friendly staff. We're only hoping we can get a spot for next year before it sells out!

  Happy Camping!

  Tumalo State Park Campground

  Central Oregon Basecamp

  This State Park offers tent, yurt and rv camping. The tent only loop is beautiful and quiet as it is the only loop along the water. If you have kids who like to get filthy and not have to take a bath, make sure to get one of the spots that has no grass in it. This is their dream come true. The only issue I have have ever had here is the giant jumping spider guarding the restroom. This campground is a great base camp for exploring all Central Oregon has to offer. Love this place!

  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.

  Clean, comfortable, and nice!

  This is s a terrific campground. The sites are all very clean. The hosts are wonderful! There are sinks to wash your dishes outside the bathrooms. The yurts are wonderfully clean, warm, and well-equipped. The campground is kept very tidy. I have really enjoyed both times I stayed here.

  Tumalo State Park Campground

  Great spot close to Bend and hikes!

  I stayed in a yurt here a couple times as a cheap stop over on road trips. Nice river walk along the tumalo across the street from campground. Less busy in off season, reservations recommended. Firewood, showers and great clean bathrooms. Right off highway and close to Bend for anything you need.

  Quiet campground & nice facilities!

  Nice campground with yurts, trails, an amphitheater, playground, and a nice, clean bathroom. It has outdoor sinks by the bathroom for doing dishes and plenty of tent sites. The day use area across the street has a nice little creek also! Sites aren’t very private but they’re nice and flat. Ada camping was all paved

  Our favorite

  We stayed in a yurt here and inside was a sign in book with a lot of fun adventures shared from other travelers. There’s walk path across the street to the river and park which was fun to tube down in the summer heat. This was our second time staying and we will definitely return. It was well kept.

  Tumalo State Park Campground

  Ideal camping spot

  This campground has a spot for everyone - large RV’s, yurts, tents, and even bikes. It’s close to the water and has a great Ranger program. Float the river, visit the volcanos, and hike to the top of Pilot Butte in nearby, Bend to see all of the gorgeous mountains.

  Ranger Steve led a great orienteering class and a fun owl pellet dissection class.

  Tumalo State Park Campground

  Mainly RVs

  Showers, bathrooms, and running water are available. A tent site is $21/night with 1 car allowed. Additional cars are $7/night. There aren't any tent sites secluded from yurts and RVs, so you will be hearing generators run, though people did shut them off at 10. IMO, it's expensive for a tent site in a spot where you're surrounded by glampers.

  Tumalo State Park Campground

  Big campground with great facilities

  Tumalo State Park Campground is big, and spots might feel a little tight. The tent areas didn’t seem to have a whole lot of privacy and room. We stayed in a yurt, which was nice and clean. Unfortunately the neighbors weren’t great about following the quiet hours. The bathrooms and showers were really nice. We had a great time playing in the Deschutes river!

  Tumalo State Park Campground

  Heavily used, close to Bend

  This is the closest campground to Bend coming from the west, so make reservations early. One section is open all year with limited services. Trailer/rv, tent, and group sites available as are yurts. Updated restrooms and showers. Day use area across The road with river access. Lower loop is next to the river but doesn't have fancy restrooms. The campground can be noisy with trucks on the nearby road. The sites are large. Hosts on site, rangers enthusiastically enforce 10 pm quiet time. No sewer dump station - closest are in Sisters and Bend.

  Olallie Lake Resort

  Correction

  There are a couple differences between the Olallie Lake Resort and its facilities vs The Olallie Lake Guard Station Cabin. Although near to each other on the lake, and both managed by the  resort staff, the Guard Station Cabin is owed by the Forest Service. They do not allow pets in the cabin or in your car when you rent it. 

  The resort rents a number of rustic cabins themselves, along with two yurts, and operates a number of nearby campgrounds, the store, and the boat rentals.

  The Guard Station Cabin must be rented from Recreation.gov , and has much less basic facilities, kitchen with hot & cold running water.  Propane powered stove/oven,  refrigerator , and built in lights.  Pit toilet nearby,

  I believe the other reviews refer to the resort's cabins.

  Tumalo State Park Campground

  Clean.

  This campsite was one of my favorites so far. Mostly because we had a long drive and arriving at this campsite felt good. VERY clean with private separate showers and a dish washing station outside the bathrooms. Although a smaller camp ground and the sites were relatively close it didn’t bother me. We stayed here 2 or 3 nights while exploring Bend. Maybe 10 15 minutes into bend but very heavily wooded area and on the river. We camped right in front of the play ground and there were definitely a lot of children and families. Also didn’t mind that. There also tent sites, yurts, and RV/ camper spots. I think what I enjoyed most about this site it just gave me a sense of “home” during our road trip. And of course dogs are welcome!

  So beautiful!!

  Loved being able to camp here, at Tumalo State Park. There were a couple of great hikes nearby that I wanted to do, so brought my husband and dog and we camped here and did some hiking. Here are a few things I really liked about this campsite:

  1. Close to Bend. We wanted to stay somewhere that we were also able to tour and site see. We were able to spend some time wandering around Bend, eating at some great local places.
  2. Hiking Trails- Tumalo Falls and Tumalo Mountain
  3. Biking Trails
  4. Great tent sites, but they also have RV sites and some yurts that you can rent

  Vaulted toilets on site, water source, and the camp spaces are decent size. Highly recommend this place because again, it is close to the city but also isolated for true camping!

  Tumalo State Park Campground

  One of my favorite state parks

  Tumalo State Park is one of my favorite state parks in one of my favorite areas of the state. The camp hugs the Tumalo River (though no campsites are along the river). There’s an awesome but well-loved day use area with swimming and barbecues. You can tube along the basalt rock wall and there's a grassy area for picnics.

  The campsites include tent and electric RV sites nestled up against basalt rock hills. Sparsely forested, so plenty of sun, but some sites also have shade. Flush toilets, showers, and very cool yurts that are popular.

  Minutes from downtown Bend if you want to get fancy, but also located next to all the outdoor hiking, biking, fishing, and rafting activities in the area. Gets very crowded due to it’s proximity to Bend, especially the day use area.

  Olallie Lake Resort

  Olallie Lake Rustic Resort Cabin Rental

  The Olallie Lake Rustic Resort is a wonderful place to get away from it all and relax in nature on the shore of a lovely high-mountain lake.

  Here are a few points of interest:

  • Fishing: Olallie Lake is stocked with rainbow trout and brood trout. They rent row boats for trolling. Motor boats are not allowed (which is nice).

  • Hiking: There are several miles local trails to hike on. There's a four mile hike around Olallie Lake, the Redlake Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) that can take you all the way to Mexico or Canada.

  • Swimming: No swimming is allowed in Olallie Lake.  Head Lake is nearby (within 5 minutes of the store) and has a dock, large rocks to sit on and is a wonderful swimming lake. There are also over 25 lakes in the scenic area to hike to and swim in.

  • Dogs: Dogs are allowed! Yay! But they must be kept on leash per Forest Service regulations.

  • Getting there: The last ten miles, or so, of the road are pretty rough. Most reasonable cares should be able to make it but I'd suggest a 4x4.

  There are cabin and yurt rentals and a little general store which has food and adult beverages. Like most resort stores it's a little pricey.

  The cabins are comfortable and have wood stoves (firewood is included).

  Tumalo State Park Campground

  Perfect High Desert Park

  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 :)

  Pelton Park Campground

  Family campground on a fishing lake with amenities

  Generations of campers have stayed here, and if you have little ones, no doubt they'll want to continue the tradition. The park has experienced many improvements since the landslide transformed and closed it many years ago. Available to rent now are yomes (yurt domes) with bunkbeds and inexpensive lake view cabins with AC and heat. A swimming hole, playground and amphitheatre delight little campers, and a store/restaurant/rental business delight adults who run out of ice, beer, fishing tackle, or other necessities. Kayaks, paddle boards and other water sport equipment is available for rent. The lake is long and deep with Kokanee, Rainbow Trout and Bull Trout, but you'll need to make sure you purchase an Indian permit (available at the store) if you want to fish for them. Take a trolling boat up the narrows to the back of Round Butte Dam in the morning and rev up the engine for a mile of skiing area near Pelton Dam to cool off in the afternoon. This is a PGE park with on-site camp hosts and regular visits from the local law enforcement. You'll feel safe camping here solo or with your children. Quiet time is politely enforced. There is a community kitchen available for cooking or washing dishes and clean flush toilets and shower facilities are on site. Electrical hookups abound, even if you are tenting, you can bring an extension cord to recharge, light, or cool off your campsite.

  Deschutes River Campground — The Cove Palisades State Park

  Very peaceful campground with great hiking and recreation

  Cove Palisades State Park is one of my favorite Central Oregon destinations.  Lake Billy Chinook is simply stunning, and there is a great hike, the Tam-A-Lau trail, that goes right from the campsite.

  Solid Oregon State Park

  Very solid, typical Oregon state campground. Has all of the good things that you'd want: clean flush toilets, Junior Ranger programs and activities, decent spots (some better than others), playground, and nice trees and pretty rock walls.

  But what sets it apart is it's proximity to Bend, Oregon, as well as the Day Use area across the road with a river and swimming area along with picnic tables.

  Very popular in the summer especially; be sure to book early. Between nearby Bend and the other activities on-site and in the area, you could definitely spend several days here and not get bored.

  Convenient camping stop just 4 miles off the highway.

  Tumalo State Park gets only 3 stars from me because it was hot and crowded. Since its only 4 miles North of popular Bend, Oregon, its a convenient stop... but what I consider "pit stop camping," on my way to quieter destinations. They have good campground amenities for this: flush toilets, running water, showers. Its a pretty location, near many fun outdoor activities near and in Bend, but the sites were too crowded together for my taste. Note that, as in most of Oregon in high summer, open flames and camp fires are prohibited. It is a Red Flag zone, meaning there is a high danger of wildfires. In fact, as of last week (late July, 2018) you could see the smoke from several fires in the surrounding forests.

  One of my favorites

  I’m a big fan of Oregon State Parks in general, but I really love the sites that are on the River here. I usually spend a few days here each summer when attending concerts at Les Schwab.

  Snotty but beautiful

  That that this park is closed to the public if you are not camping on site you are not allowed to use this part even though it is a state-funded taxpayers park me and my wife on our way to Arkansas from Oregon decided to stop eating lunch and shower we were told to leave the park because we we're not camping at that Park

  Tumalo State Park Campground

  Great campground

  This is one of our favorite campgrounds in Oregon. We did have a harder time backing in our 35ft trailer due to the more narrow road but over all wasn’t that bad. There was a good mix of campers and trailers, did not meet the hosts but everyone was nice. Very close to Bend but away from all the noise. Would come back again.
