Worth a night. Truck Camper
Pulled into spot 44 for one night in October. Same day reservations allowed. Very handy and the sites were largely vacant this time of year. Tent sites are acceptable for RVs and trucks campers if you don't need hookups . Check the length of the driveway online and if it's long enough you're good. It's well kept and close enough to the highway for an overnight. I didn't visit the park, including the bathroom facilities, just needed a play for the night, and this was fine

So nice and quiet and super dark sky
Spent two nights here in space B5. Even though the campground said there was a slight slope to the space I found it almost unnoticeable. The reservoir was very very low. Nice walking along the shore. Showers were very clean. Kind of the only downside was about the last three or 4 miles into the park was very winding and narrow with a 25 mile an hour speed limit because of the sharp turns.

No privacy
Sites were very close to one another. Stayed in a site that backed up to the river. No view of the river but a very short walk to the banks. Showers were decent. Seemed to be well ran. Full hook ups is always a bonus. About a 20-24 min drive to Bend. Had to drive our trash to a disposal place outside the campground. Dumpsters at campground were locked during certain hours.

LaPine State Park Campground
Very clean, quiet, and picturesque
This is a very well-kept campground. The whole park is kept clean, litter free, and the restrooms with showers are clean. The setting next to the river with the trails are a great hike and the dogs enjoyed the walks as well. There was no traffic noise at our site, 123, which was next to the river. There is no river access here, the park sits above the river but the view is awesome. Did see some mysterious lights above the trees that I never did figure out what they were, so that was kind of neat. Possibly a drone, no sounds from the lights. There is camp wood available from the host, showers, recycle bins and rv dump available. Phone service through Consumer Cellular was available.

Prineville Reservoir Main Campground — Prineville Reservoir State Park
Clean, fun place
When we got there the place was nice. Unfortunatley, there was some major fires going around the area and we got some smoke the next 3 days. But, of course, that was not the campgrounds fault. It was too bad so we did do some biking, swimming and bar B Qing. The campground was full and clean. They say you can get 2 bars of signal on your phone, but no one there seemed to be getting any signal. I had a Star Link so that wasn't a problem for me.
All the sites seemed to have electricity, but not all had a dump. The camp host was friendly and helped me find where to dump the Motorhome. It was about 1.5 mi away at the upper level of the campground called Jasper Point. Steep and winding paved road that was fine for my 30' MH.

Lots of free spots
Pretty dusty certain times of the year but right in the trails and can’t beat free
Guide to Prineville

What campers like
Clean facilities: Many glamping options near Prineville feature well-maintained bathrooms and showers. "The campground is usually busy and it next to the highway which made it little loud during rush hour. It is located next to a river, that has river access, but created a bug problem. Overall, enjoyed the trip," notes Vanesa W. about Tumalo State Park.
Family-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer designated play areas and activities for children. "We love going to Prineville Reservoir State Park because it isn't too big- lots of grassy spaces, great boating and beach area. The swim area is marked and dogs are not allowed in that area so you don't have to worry about dog messes where your kiddos are walking barefoot and swimming," explains Lesa H.
Diverse accommodations: The region offers everything from basic tent sites to full-service RV hookups and glamping options. "Great campground with boat access and cabins. They have the best fishing dock and cleaning station that I have yet to see... Not all cabins and tent sites are open year round," advises Kelly N.
Stargazing opportunities: The minimal light pollution creates exceptional night viewing conditions. "This is a dark sky park and if the moon is not bright the stars are amazing," confirms Amy B., highlighting the astronomical benefits of camping in this high desert region.
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Weather patterns vary dramatically throughout the year. "This is another Oregon state park gem... best to visit offseason if you are not a boater, jet skier or love motor noise. I go every spring and get a spot overlooking the lake/reservoir," recommends Amy B.
