  Sheep Springs Horse Camp

  Great horse camp!

  Beautiful trees, clean bathrooms, solid paddocks, and great trail network. Even had Miss Rodeo Oregon staying there on a rare weekend off before the RoundUp.

  We were in site 3 which is the least flat and difficult to access, but close to the water and our friends that had booked 2. To is next to the water and has easy access even with their 4 horse LQ and dually crew cab. 4 is nice and shady but a bit of a hill. If we came back, we’d pick 5 or 6 for shade trees, easy access, but 8 and 9 have morning sun which would be nice on cool mornings. One site, 10 I think, has metal panels for the paddock. Others are pretty solid wood paddocks but bring a chain just in case the one there is broken (or you have a 5 y.o. Gelding that will break it :)

  Prineville Reservoir Main Campground — Prineville Reservoir State Park

  Fabulous Campground

  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. The campsites aren't very big but they have a nice layout that makes you feel like you have your own space. The restrooms are nice with showers available as well.

  Sisters Rodeo Dispersed Camping

  Peacful

  Easy access and larger camp spots. We were there during a few events hosted by the Sisters Rodeo and got to listen to the events.

  A lot of horse trailers come into the dispersed camping area to park and ride their horses, and I've seen a lot of larger bog rig horse trailers parked at the camp sites near the front. Every single one that came in was respectful and kind. A couple of the trainers even allowed my oldest onto their horses with permission after she asked.

  There were a couple of long-time stay campers that kept to themselves. We didn't have any issues with leaving our campsite unattended, even with our cook stove, propane, and ground solar equipment out in the open.

  Great for solar. Just if you don't have it set on top, you will have to move it throughout the day.

  Verizon cell service is completely fine. No wifi, of course, but if you use a mobile hotspot like we do, you shouldn't have any issues.

  We camped at 3 different spots. The first one was right as you pulled in, directly behind the rodeo gates. Large spot, 2 fire pits. Perfect for a group. The second was farther back. Only spent 1 night there cause there was a fire ant colony and we have kids. That just seemed like a bad idea for us. Spot itself was great, though. Another perfect spot for a group, minus the fire ants. The third spit was closer to the entrance, about half way in-between the other 2 we stayed at. This one had some broken glass that was buried as well as what looked like a diabetic syringe, also buried in the dirt. This was the only camp site that had any type of garbage at it. Every other one was cleaned from what we glanced at.

  Rangers come through every few days to make sure everything is safe and taken care of. When it became "no fires allowed" a ranger went to every camp site with people and asked if he could leave the information papers about what would be allowed vs not allowed during the "no burn" time. He was very respectful and kept his distance. I was by myself with my 3 young kids when he stopped by, and he stayed at least 5 feet away from all of us unless I gave the okay to come closer. The Rangers also placed "no fire" flags at each of the empty campsites in the firepits in case someone came in afterward.

  Overall, it was very peaceful and a great place to stay if you plan on going to the rodeo or an event held at Sisters Rodeo but are strapped on funds.

  And of course, like all dispersed campsites, it's a "pack in pack out". No water, power, sewage, bathrooms, showers, or anything else available. You bring it in, and you take it out.

  Three Creeks Meadow Horse Camp

  Beautiful area

  This is a lovely campground, of course perfect if you have horses, those sites are further in. Many of the sites have lovely views of the meadow with a little creek running through. The sites were decently spaced, and the surrounding area is lovely for hiking, biking etc. the lake is not far down either.

  Bend / Sisters Garden RV Resort

  Very well maintained grounds away from town

  Arrived after the office closed and started to read late check in rules and available spaces. Helped to look up to see on the other side of the door envelopes with names, including ours. Access is easy for even large rigs. All sites are paved. Space between sites is reasonable. On site restrooms are very nicely presented. There is an on site pool and outdoor gathering place, a general store, propane vending, a dog walking path and large property behind the park to take pets with a reminder to clean up and pack it out. Garbage service is nice - place the bags by the road and maintenance staff will take it away.

  You are a few miles from sisters and about 15 from the outskirts of Bend (the side that has the big box hardware and all purpose stores).

  The RV park is quiet and comfortable. There are plenty of trees and green grass at each site. The way the park is laid out, it’s more of an RV neighborhood of travelers.

  Chipmunk Mountain Basecamp on Forest Road 4606

  Great place to stay

  We really like this spot because you can walk into town but far enough outside that it has a lot of privacy. The PRT trail system is close by, Three Creeks and the 3 Sister. We only ever see hikers and bikers.

  Prineville Reservoir Main Campground — Prineville Reservoir State Park

  Central Oregon - Spring favorite

  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.  Ice and firewood available. Hot showers and nice bathrooms.  This time of year I sleep in my car and so having full bathroom facilities is nice.  A great horned owl visited the tree next to my site at 1:00 am and hooted away.  Very nice.  This is also a dark sky park and if the moon is not bright the stars are amazing.  There is a hike you can take along the shore of the reservoir - 4 miles out and back.  Great geology as well.

  Bend / Sisters Garden RV Resort

  Lovely and Fun

  This lovely "RV Resort" feels a bit like Disneyland or an amusement park (in a good way) in that everything is meticulously maintained, beautiful and there's plenty to do. From the put-put golf course near the check-in, to the store and the lovely lake, this is a great place for kids as well as adults.

  It's also located near a vast array of wonderful hikes, towns, and things to do in Central Oregon. So not only a fun place to stay, but also a great jumping-off place for other activities.
