Best Cabin Camping near Silver Lake, OR

Old school resort on the shores of beautiful Paulina Lake. Wonderful, small log cabin lodge with amazing food. Other log cabins to rent ranging from three people to large families with fire places, a couple right on the water.

Cabins have running water, bathrooms, cozy fireplaces, comfy couches. Resort has a boat launch and small general store for supplies, food, and bait.

The Lake itself is beautiful and the location puts you right next to all of the fun hikes, biking, trails and activities all around Paulina Lake area. Possibly also some spots for RVs.

Try the Apple Crumble and the“Knife Burger” (huge burger with steak knife stuck in it). You will not be disappointed.

This funky little private resort and campground, on the way from nowhere to anywhere, has more than you might expect from first glance. The large, dry camping area offers a large field for folks to spread out without being on top of each other. While there are a handful of hookups sites for RV’s, we preferred the less expensive field option.  They have a couple of pit toilets near the field, as well as a full bathroom and shower area.  With our solar powered system, we were able to keep our battery topped off while taking advantage of all that the springs have to offer, which is just a short walk away. 

They also offer some tiny cabins for rent, each with its own unique rustic charm. The public bath house has a large indoor swimming pool, clean changing rooms, sparkling bathrooms and showers. The outdoor, natural pools are what make this place so unique. Three pools, three differing temperatures helps folks find their own “just right.” The springs have a decidedly rustic charm, with lots of converted farm buildings and antique features, so you might want to adjust your city expectations to a more rural and rougher edged setting. But hot water on a very cold night with views of the starry sky above are just the right about the right cure for whatever ails you. 

The springs are located about midway between the larger towns of La Pine and Lakeview, around 70ish miles from each, where you can find large grocery stores and services. A few convenience stores, gas, and post offices can be found in the tiny hamlets along the highway. It is a remote, lovely and quiet spot on the edge of this large lake.

We followed the website information versus our Garmin GPS directions, however, Waze also took us right to the park entrance. Check in was easy and we were escorted to pull through site 41 with FHUs for our three days stay. A nice touch was at check in we were provided a local area magazine with really good info concerning sights to see and places to eat. We were also provided free daily WiFi vouchers for our stay but you can only log in with one device. We thought our Weingard Connect would be able to connect then we could use multiple devices but couldn't get it to connect. You can purchase more vouchers for more devices and upgrade your speed. The free WiFi was about average for this size campground(CG). We actually applaud campgrounds taking more control over the WiFi with one device logins as our last three CGs had no controls resulting in useless or very spotty WiFi. We got 2 bars on Verizon and 30 cable stations. You do get some highway noise but its not too bad. There’s a small pet area that is not fenced. However, there’s an OHV trail system out the CG's north side where we walked our pups. There are nearby restaurants with the nearest grocery stores in La Pine about 15 min away or you can drive to Bend about 45 minutes for major amenities. This is a well run CG and great base to explore the area.

With a general store, boat launch, beach and restaurant, this quaint little "resort" is a small collection of 1960s cabins along a simple gravel parking lot/road and most either on or with a view of the lake. If you want to swim, fish, boat and hang out with family and let the kiddos run all over and get sunburned and tired, this is a pretty fun, rustic place to do so.

Rates run from the low $100s for a studio up to the high $200s for a cabin that will sleep 8 or larger. It's also a popular place for people to swing by and eat/meet up so plenty of traffic coming and going.

No TVs/wifi etc. for those who care. There's also an RV area across the street run by the same resort that is relatively new. We saw a few tent sites as well but didn't inquire about them.
