"We did the nearby Chimney Rock hike one afternoon and it was great."
GuideWriting a review because our site was backwards. The utilities were on the passenger side. Couldn't hookup to water or sewer with my TT because I would have had to pull in forward and park the truck on the grass at the back of the site. Multiple sites were this way, but most were not. I backed up, so we opened our trailer door to the electrical/water/sewer hookups the whole time.
ScoutThis is a quiet and peaceful CG for boondocks. $25 for 1 night, 2 nights available without online booking. Lake is pretty when full.
TravelerQuick and convenient. Right off of main rd. Plenty off spots to park. Only reason got 4 stars was someone was running their generator all night
TravelerJust a little pull thru right off Eagle Crest, close enough to the trailhead to walk to use their bathrooms if needed. Quiet and safe, no amenities.
RangerI haven’t camped here in summer before, but am loving the experience. Lots of boaters, families, jet skis. Lots of fun happening. Great dog park. Beautiful views on the west side.
ScoutLots of open sites, but a little pricey. $21 a night! No water. They do have an outhouse and a dumpster for trash. Bring your own TP!
TravelerAntelpe is literally out in the middle of nowhere. The ghost town on Shiniko is nearby. The stars are absolutely amazing at night. The a-frames are simple, but comfortable and have heat/air conditioning. There is a great place to sit and make coffee and chat with the other campers. There is still some construction being done, and it will even be more fabulous when completed. I stayed here on the tail end of biking the Oregon Outback.
GuideSqueaky-clean RV park in excellent repair. Close to everything in the cute town of Prineville, on a scenic road bike route, across the street from the Crooked River and Rimrock Park with an elaborate frisbee golf course. Two Rivian destination chargers on site. Sites are close together with minimal shade but a great stop on the way to more remote parts of Oregon, especially strategic if towing with an EV.
GuideGroup site at little lava is between the boat ramp and the river, it's back out of the way and it's fairly large. Verizon was ok, no WiFi at LLL, maybe up at Lava Lake.
