5. Hager Mountain Lookout
Be the first to review!Silver Lake, Oregon•7 Photos•11 SavesOverview
Hager Mountain Lookout sits at an elevation of 7,195 feet, offering guests spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding area. It is one of a diminishing number of lookouts still staffed for fire detection annually during the fire season and is open to guests in the winter months. The site is available for rent from November 15 to May 15, offering a unique lodging experience for guests seeking a bit of solitude and relaxation. For the remainder of the year, it is staffed by Forest Service personnel. This rugged, winter destination awaits the most enthusiastic outdoor adventurers as it is only accessible by foot, snowshoes or cross-country skis. Skiing or snowshoeing can take from a couple of hours to half a day or more, depending on weather conditions and one's physical endurance. Travel into remote locations in the winter requires experience and advance preparation. Expect windy conditions.
Recreation
Hiking, wildlife viewing, stargazing, snowshoeing and skiing are popular activities. Hager Mountain is used during fire season to keep watch over the surrounding flat lands for any sign of smoke. During the winter, it becomes a winter wonderland and has one of the best snowshoeing climbs available in southern Oregon. The strenuous 4-mile hike up the west side of the peak leads to a panoramic view of the landscape. The lookout is a great spot for winter camping. At night the lookout is an ideal setting for stargazing, as constellations and planets put on a dazzling display.
Natural Features
A series of dome-building volcanic eruptions occurring about 8 million years ago gave birth to Hager Mountain. The lookout is perched on the bald cap rocks that make up this mountain and offers 360 degree views as far as Mount Hood and Mount Shasta on a clear day. Surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks, volcanic landscapes and wide-open sage basins, the area is known for scenic vistas and wild places where guests can still find solitude.

8. Newberry Group Camp Site
La Pine, Oregon2 Reviews•17 Photos•3 SavesOverview
Boasting some of central Oregon's most spectacular scenery, Newberry Group Campground is the only exclusive group site area within the Newberry National Volcanic Monument.Located along the south shore of Paulina Lake in Deschutes National Forest, this site offers a unique geological glimpse into the area's one-of-a-kind landscape and volcanic activity. For more information about the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, please visit: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/deschutes/recarea/?recid=66159
Recreation
The unique location of Newberry Group Campground offers outdoor enthusiasts fantastic opportunities for bird watching, boating, bicycling, sightseeing and hiking throughout the year. The Paulina Lakeshore loop trail passes thru this campground and offers a 7 mile stroll around Paulina Lake. Bird watchers may catch a glimpse of bald eagles and osprey nesting nearby. Common loon, Grebe, Tundra swan, Eurasian wigeon, American wigeon, Ring-necked duck, Goldeneye, and Hooded Merganser are lured to Paulina Lake as well. Visitors can drive or hike to the summit of nearby Paulina Peak to watch soaring raptors such as golden eagle, turkey vulture, prairie falcon and red-tailed hawk.
Natural Features
Paulina Lake is located within the collapsed caldera of Newberry Volcano. Nearly five miles in diameter, this caldera encircles the basins of Paulina Lake, and its twin, East Lake. Covering an area of 1,531 acres, Paulina Lake, the larger and deeper of the two, plunges to depths of 250 feet. Neither lake receives water from an inlet stream, but instead, are fed solely by rain, snowmelt, and hot springs. Paulina Creek drains the lake and has chiseled a narrow gorge through the caldera's west wall creating a remarkable twin waterfall. Thermal vents and hot springs along the lake's northeast edge help create a highly productive ecosystem. Wetlands, diverse forests, and rocky slopes near the campground provide a necessary habitat for shorebirds, racoon, deer, bats, and the occasional black bear. In September, the outlet of Paulina Lake may become choked with kokanee salmon swimming to spawn in Paulina Creek.
Nearby Attractions
Visitors can explore wilderness areas, wild and scenic rivers, lakes and reservoirs, and approximately 1,600 miles of trails throughout Deschutes National Forest and the adjacent Ochoco National Forest. Lava Lands Visitor Center in nearby Bend, Oregon, offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the diverse landscape and history of the area through interpretive programs. Visitors can explore the Lava River Cave, also located in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. At a length of 5,211 ft. (1,588 m), the northwest section of the cave is the longest continuous lava tube in Oregon.

9. Fremont Point Cabin
Be the first to review!Summer Lake, Oregon•7 Photos•11 SavesOverview
Fremont Point Cabin is located on top of the Winter Rim in North Central Lake County, Oregon. The newly constructed cabin, which was completed in the summer of 2015, sits on the same footprint as its predecessor, which was destroyed during a forest fire in 2002. Through numerous donations of funding, materials, and volunteer labor, the cabin has been rebuilt and is now ready for you to enjoy. While the cabin is available year-round, off season access may be limited to foot or snowmobile depending on weather conditions, as the roads are not maintained in the winter.
Recreation
Recreational activities within close proximity of Fremont Point Cabin include horseback riding, wildlife viewing and photography, mountain biking, OHV riding, hunting, fishing, kayaking and boating. Numerous trails including the Fremont National Recreation Trail and Oregon Timber Trail are also nearby.
Natural Features
Poised on the edge of an escarpment at almost 3,000 feet above Summer Lake, Fremont Point Cabin offers a breathtaking view of the valley below. Due to the remoteness of this site, visitors can enjoy the opportunity for personal reflection while watching a variety of weather patterns across Summer Lake.
Nearby Attractions
The panoramic view from the edge of the Winter Rim is amazing. And, the National Recreational Trail which skirts along the escarpment edge provides an endless number of opportunities to view the valley below. A short hike west from the cabin finds a totally different ecosystem, thriving with large ponderosa and lodge pole pine. Thirty minutes to the south are the headwaters for the Wild and Scenic Sycan River, which is an easy day hike on the historic Hanan Trail from the developed trailhead on FSR 28.

10. Bald Butte Lookout
Paisley, Oregon1 Review•8 Photos•8 SavesOverview
Bald Butte Lookout is perched atop the windy summit of Bald Butte in the Fremont-Winema National Forest in south-central Oregon. It is surrounded by forested hillsides and expansive views. The lookout was built in 1931 and served as a Forest Service fire detection site for over 50 years. It was constructed from an Aladdin L4 ground-mounted lookout kit in which all of the pieces were pre-cut in six-foot lengths or less so the entire kit could be packed by horses into the remote site. The total cost of the structure at the time was $668.49 and only took a few days to assemble. At one time, hundreds of these types of lookouts were in service throughout the Pacific Northwest. Today only two such structures remain in Oregon, providing a unique lodging experience for guests seeking recreation and relaxation. The lookout offers basic amenities, though for guests to enjoy their experience completely, they must bring several of their own supplies.
Recreation
Hiking, birding, stargazing and wildlife viewing are popular activities. Bald Butte Trail is a quiet all-season trail that offers a variety of terrain and wildlife viewing opportunities. Hikers traverse large open meadows filled with summer wildflowers, heavily wooded forests and ridgetop scrambles along Oak Ridge Trail and Surveyor's Ridge Trail, overlooking the Hood River Valley. Trails in the Gearhart Mountain Wilderness are also nearby. At night the lookout provides an ideal setting for stargazing, as constellations and planets put on a dazzling display.
Natural Features
Fremont National Forest is known for its towering snow-capped peaks, volcanic landscapes, wide-open sage basins, scenic vistas and wild places where visitors can still find solitude. Nearby Gearhart Wilderness offers 22,823 acres of scenic views and primitive recreational opportunities. Throughout the remote area, streams rush through narrow meadows and Blue Lake lies nestled beneath a canopy of mixed-conifer forests. Rock formations cap most of the high elevation ridge tops.

Clear sky's, hot water.
Clean campground with amazing views from the bathhouse. Full hookups on level pads and cabins if you left your rv at home. Hint. Take a warm, fluffy robe and good sandals for your walk to and from the soaking pools.

Strongly advise 4x4 to get up there, stayed outside the hut and surprisingly a lot of flys. Perfect star gazing spot.

Our favorite within a 50 mile radius!
We constantly sleuth campgrounds and map sites that will fit our 30 footer. We scoped out over two dozen CGs. We love the spacing of the sites. All are full hookups. We loved their showers and restroom facilities. Amazing water pressure! Nice shade, too.

Right on the Lake
We didn't actually stay here, but walked through it while hiking around the lake.
Looked like nice, very foresty surroundings, right on the water. 3 separate sites, and they were nicely separated.This is a beautiful area, cooler than lower elevation. We came up here to get away from the heat. Mosquitoes around the lake, the closer to the water the more mosquitoes.
No cell reception.
There's a nice day camp area nearby, a store with ice cream and rentals and such. Fun place to bring family and kids.
Shari G.LegendSummer Lake Hot Springs
Middle of Nowhere Surprise!
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.

Summer Lake Hot Springs
Chill, open, rustic, and beautiful
Camping for 4 nights. Pay is per person and $10 extra for full RV hookups. It’s open, and hot. It would uncomfortable without air conditioning. The hot pool and outdoor smaller pools are hot but not super hot. It’s mineral water and lovely to float in the indoor pool. No picnic table or shade. There are cabins.

Great rv park
Mostly pull through sites. Nice bathrooms. Super nice and helpful staff. Better than avg wifi with an option for unlimited. I don't feel packed in. Dog park. No wood fires. Adequate tree cover but not completely enveloped. Level sites. Cable tv. Very clean and well kept park.

Good overnight stay
This is a great place for an overnight stay. The RV spots are large and entry and set up were easy. They have breakfast on the weekend but it was not the best.

Summer Lake Hot Springs
Nice little private hot springs with rustic vibe
In other places I've seen this place reviewed as dingy. What someone expected from a privately run campground on the edge of a massive salt pan expected...I don't know. If you're not into the perfectly imperfect it ain't for you, then again very little in the Oregon Outback will be. There are a few rusted cars hanging around, but the cabins are clean and well kitted, the spring pools are absolutely pleasant, and the scenery outstanding.

Spectacular Volcanic flow
I love Newberry, and this is a great spot to camp. The rangers are super nice and accommodating, and have everything you would need. Great fishing, hookups, Paulina Lake and the Newberry volcano are must sees. Plus hot springs

Big Pines RV Park
Great warm bathrooms
Great campsite, although quite close to the main road. However, we couldn't hear any noise so it wasn't a problem. We arrived in the dark and left in the dark (we were trying to catch a sunrise at nearby Crater Lake) so can't say too much about the campground but it looked well maintained from what we could see. The bathroom and shower block at the front was so nice. They were very clean, big, well maintained and most importantly warm!! It was a very cold night the night we were camping so it was nice to get warm again when entering the shower block. Would highly recommend.
MickandKarla W.LegendBig Pines RV Park
Nice Campground
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.
Cindy N.TravelerBig Pines RV Park
Cute western themed decoration
Good space between sites. They were working on getting some of the grass to grow back, so some sites might have more grass than the little we had when we were there. Friendly hosts. Dog area not completely fenced in, and basically just dirt, but it was fine. It was a quiet and peaceful stay.

Not great if you're not a member
It's old. If you aren't a member you are treated as such. We had called multiple times to try and book and they never would answer. Their is no online portal to book. The old man running the facility is not friendly at all. He tried to turn us away because we were not members until he called an older woman who said it was fine. He wanted to write our credit card number down and we weren't comfortable with that, he said that we could come in the next morning to pay. We tried 5 times to see if someone was there until we finally found someone there. The lady was nice enough. Later that night the older man chased us down accusing us of not paying. We offered our receipt and he gruffed away. They have laundry facilities but they were locked. Its kept well and maintained fairly well but we were not offered a sewer site and they have no dump station on site. The electrical box at our site was burnt and kinda sketchy. If you are a member they are treated well. If not they give you no time of day. We weren't even offered the membership. We definitely would not stay here again.

Quite campground in the woods
We love this campground because it is wooded and yet not crowded by trees. The layout is not like a parking lot but rather circular in design. The sites are quite roomy.

East Lake Resort
Old-School Cabin fun
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.

Cozy place great for large groups Has every thing a campground needs
Ashley B.LegendSummer Lake Hot Springs
Campground/Eco Resort Next to Hot Springs
This is for the camping portion of the campground, I did not stay or see the inside of the various cabins available. The camping area is just a large open field area where people can park/camp where they would like. This would work well if you had a large group and several RVs wanting to be next to each other. There are also no tables, which camping in your car during the winter not having a table to put my stove on made it a little bit more difficult to heat up water/food. If I remember correctly I didn't really pay anything to camp, mainly just to access the pools. The main pool area was a large pool like area with a barn like covering. This pool was not hot at all and the amount of children splashing and playing did not make it very relaxing. The pools outside were a bit more quite and a bit warmer but filled up fast and only comfortably held maybe 20 people and wasn't scolding hot if you like that sort of hot springs. Also the changing rooms had no glass window panes in them so the large "window" let in all the wind. Which I was there during a high wind storm with freezing temps. This means it was miserable changing into/out of my wet bathing suit. The owners were nice and the view was also pleasant, but I would maybe travel to another hot springs before going back.
Danielle C.GuidePaulina Lake Lodge Cabins
Walked through but closed
I discovered this lodge and its cabins when exploring Paulina Lake. It’s right on Paulina Lake with beautiful views, tons of fishing, and hiking/snowmobiling. It appears they rent boats for fishing when they are open. The lodge and its cabins were closed at the time I was there (COVID?).
If I were to return I would consider this place for its views, solitude, and easy access to lots of hiking.

Clean, well-kept RV campground
Lovely campground that has dry camping, partial hook-ups, and full hook-ups for RVs. Hwy 97 is nearby but other than the road noise from that it is a quiet location. Bathrooms and laundry rooms are very clean. Has an off-leash area for dogs. And a dirt walking trail among a mixed sparse forest from campground on SE corner of the property. 🥾
I stayed here two weeks tomorrow and LOVED my stay. The sunsets and sunrises were fantastic! I’ll be back! SO much to do in the area! And not far to Bend when you need to re-supply.
Has both Verizon and T-mobile cell service.

We stayed here for 8 days. Nice Bathrooms and showers. Laundry was clean and reasonably priced. The one thing that you should be aware of, is there a is very little shade. All and all we would stay here again.

Great for tent camping
I stopped here on my motorcycle and got one of the 4 tent sites that the park has to offer. The tent sites are at the front of the park and very close to the bathroom/shower building. The showers and bathroom were very clean and there is WiFi available to guests. The tent sites are close to the roadway so there is a lot of truck noise through the night. The tent area is flat with picnic tables. The tent sites were $20.00 + tax.
