Best Campgrounds near Sisters, OR

1,630 Reviews

Several good campgrounds are located near Sisters, Oregon for campers looking for different experiences. Tumalo State Park Campground has clean sites with bathrooms and shower facilities that many campers appreciate. Creekside Sisters City Park sits closer to town, making it easy to walk to restaurants and shops when you need a break from camping. Some camping spots have trees that block views of neighboring campers, while other areas are more open with less privacy between sites. You should book your camping spot ahead of time, as summer weekends fill up quickly throughout the area. Hikers and fishing fans will find plenty to do during the day before returning to camp. The Bend / Sisters Garden RV Resort works well for bigger rigs with its full hookup sites and more developed facilities. Trees provide decent shade at most campgrounds, but bringing a canopy or awning helps during hot afternoons in July and August. Site sizes differ between campgrounds, so check dimensions when booking if you have specific space needs. Sisters camping works well for both basic tent setups and larger RVs depending on which campground you choose.

    Cold Springs Resort

    Relaxing RV park with lots to see from a walking distance

    Relaxing RV park with lots to see from a walking distance

    This is a really well laid out campground, with well kept grounds. The RV area is shaped like a horse shoe and only has 12 sites. The rest of the campground has about 20 cabins spread out around the grounds. Our site was had lots of room to easily back in our trailer. The fire pit was big and cleaned out when we arrived. There is a creek that runs behind most of the sites which was a nice addition. There are two bathrooms with showers. There are a handful of kids and adult bikes you can use. The campground is a few minutes walking distance to a stocked pond that youth can fish in. About an 8 minute walk away from the nearby general store which feels like a blast from the past. The walk to the general store includes a really beautiful bridge crossing to get across the Metolius river.

    With most people in cabins and only a handful of RVs, it’s a really quiet campground. This was a really relaxing stay and it was so nice that most the things we wanted to do was just walking distance away. We will definitely come here again.

    Deschutes Forest NFD 4600-120 Dispersed Camping

    Quiet, peaceful, easy to find!

    Highly recommend! We came here in early Oct and it was quiet, roads were easy to access for a 25ft camper and just a quick drive from Bend. No amenities and a range of options for parking if you want to be near other people

    Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver

    Nice Folks

    Pulled in last minute I’ve never been to a thousand trails campground. Great so far. Lot’s of fly fishing near by. Very inexpensive compared to other campgrounds nearby.

    NF 4610 Roadside Dispersed Camping

    Super close to Bend

    It is in a vast recreation area for off road vehicles. The main road in is gravel and quite smooth. I easily found a site to car camp late at night. It was just 20 minutes from site to Bend. No amenities just a good place to car camp.

    A bit past the other listing. Beautiful, just off the road. There is a pullout on both sides of the road to camp. I suggest stopping to scout each to decide what is best for your rig.

    Terrebonne East Camp Dispersed

    A bit bumpy

    I went a bit further on the main road then pulled off on the right. A bit bumpy for my non-lifted van, but managed. Drove in about .5 miles and found a flat place to park. Yes, there was some trash scattered, I picked up around where I was. Windy in the afternoon when I was there. I enjoyed it.

    Great spot

    Like the 1st review, just pulled off on a pull thru area. Close walk to trailhead and vault toilets. The road was a bit busy during the day. Glad I came
