    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.

    Picture this. You’re looking to stay in the heart of Bend, Oregon, with easy access to the city’s best sites, dining, and entertainment. You’re also looking for the ultimate camping experience — whether it’s parking your trailer for a stay at The Camp, nestled amongst the trees but in the middle of town, or staying at a restored vintage trailer, making everything a bit more simple and less complicated on your camp-cation. Whatever it is — adventure isn’t hard to find when you call The Camp home base. With plenty of RV pads, restored vintage trailers, and tiny cottages for rent, we’ve got what you’re looking for. At Bend’s oldest RV Park, it’s all about the adventure, and the memories you’ll take home. Experience The Camp.

    Restored Vintage Trailers

    Our restored vintage trailers have each been designed with a unique theme and feel throughout. Enjoy modern living? Stay at The Cottage. More of an arts lover? You’ll dig The Draper. Our rentals make it easy to for you to explore your destination, and come back to a spot you love. Enjoy all the amenities of a traditional home, in a unique and relaxing setting.

    The RV Park

    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.

    Our Hood

    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. We’re pretty proud of our neighborhood. Situated just minutes from Downtown Bend, the Old Mill, and several of the area’s best dining and breweries, it’s easy to get where you want to be when you stay at The Camp. 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.

    Antelope, Oregon

    We are located in the heart of City of Antelope, a rural (near) Ghost town that is rich in history and culture. This particular property is currently being cleaned up and revitalized. We would like to open it up to dry camping only at this time as we are already seeing a huge influx of cyclists in the area and they have no place to camp. This is dry camping only until the facilities are brought up to code. There is porta potty facilities a block over near the City of Antelope Community Center. We look forward to our first campers.

    Overview

    Ochoco Ranger Station was established in 1906 as part of the Western Division of the Blue Mountain Forest Reserves. By 1911, Ochoco Ranger Station was part of one of seven ranger districts on the newly formed Ochoco National Forest. The site quickly grew from a single office/residence building to a compound with an office, residence, storage building and barn. This house was constructed in 1940 specifically for the district ranger by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the US Forest Service. It showcases the rustic architectural styles common to this era. The scenic location of the Ochoco Ranger Rental offers easy access to Walton Lake, Big Summit Prairie and much of the Ochoco National Forest. This rental allows visitors to enjoy all the comforts of home in a beautiful, natural setting. This cabin is not available the first Wednesday of each month for water testing, cleaning and maintenance.

    Recreation

    This house is a year-round rental, allowing visitors to participate in summer or winter recreation. The 8-mile Lookout Mountain Trail #804 begins at Ochoco Ranger Station and takes hikers to the top of Lookout Mountain. Nearby Walton Lake, a developed recreation site, is located about 7 miles northeast of Ochoco Ranger Station and offers an easy hike around the lake that also connects with the more difficult Round Mountain Trail. Walton Lake offers the opportunity to fish, swim or paddle. Winter enthusiasts can enjoy Walton Sno-Park, located just past Walton Lake, which offers cross-country ski trails and snowmobile routes.

      Lovely RV Resort

      I’ve stayed here three times. The site I stayed in the first two times is no longer available for RV’s. I stayed in D2 this time and had plenty of room and privacy. I will say that if the hookup was on the other side of the site I’d have had a much better view. The ‘A’ sites at the lake side are very close together. The staff are all friendly and very helpful. Good WiFi and quiet at night.

      Adequate for short stay

      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.

      Beautiful campsite

      Although 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.

      Awesome campground

      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.

      Beautiful Setting with lots to do!

      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!

      Beautiful views

      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.

      We 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.

      Prineville Reservoir Campground — Prineville Reservoir State Park

      Loved this smaller State Park and area!

      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!

      This is a beautiful campground!

      We 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.

      Very rough road, beautiful views, be aware of cliff.

      Once 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.

      Beautiful park

      We 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!

      The 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

      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!

      Its fine

      Showers are on a push button timer, they turn off every 10 seconds.

      For the $110 it cost to park here overnight, I should have gotten a room at the motel 6 across the street and parked in their lot.
