$22 - $110 / night
"Unfortunately it was during the horrible fires of the west coast and Oregon was not spared. The smoke was thick although not as bad as previous camping locations the day before. "
"A very short walk through the woods will bring you to the banks of the Deschutes for fishing, floating, kayaking, etc. We found a small sandy beach that was PERFECT for a happy hour!"
$24 - $80 / night
"Only a 10 minute drive from Bend, Tumalo offers a sophisticated camping experience."
"Unfortunately the neighbors weren’t great about following the quiet hours. The bathrooms and showers were really nice. We had a great time playing in the Deschutes river!"
"Beautiful location with good sized camping spots for travel trailers and RVs. Almost all spots are wooded so shade is plentiful for hot Summer afternoons."
"The had a tree service on site taking out the dead trees and obtrusive branches while we were there. Very well kept."
"This spot was close enough to town that we could call an Uber to Hayden Homes after we set up, then Uber back when the concert finished."
"Navigable with a van all wheel drive. Drove in about a mile+to find an empty spot. Most already taken. Seems to be a mix between a mobile and a stationary group of campers. A good spot close to Bend."
"Bathrooms are beautifuly updated an clean!! We rode in late and was not a problem welcomed us like family! Tent site was rustic and had a spigot near by! Plenty of sites for a group. Pet friendly."
"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."
"Old school resort on the shores of beautiful Paulina Lake. Wonderful, small log cabin lodge with amazing food."
"Great out of the way location!"
$21 - $23 / night
"Another very popular resort, this one is on the shores of East Lake. Rustic cabins built between the 1940s and 1960s, but quaint and cozy, most with toilets and showers and close to the shoreline."
"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"
$10 - $62 / night
"There are two Devil’s lake campground. This one in particular is along the subalpine Devil’s Lake of central Oregon (NOT the beach) - sorry, no yurts, cabins, or marketplaces here."
"There are a decent amount of people who come this way, even on the SS trail... except when you start at 3AM there is no one."
$35 / night
"With over a hundred concrete spaces, each with a grill, picnic table, water,sewer, and electric. But there’s more! Fantastic showers, laundry and friendly staff."
"Our GPS and Waze wanted to take us to the Fair& Expo main gate, but we followed the website instructions to the RV park portion of the fairgrounds adjacent to the Juniper Golf Course."
TravelerTumalo State Park gets only 3 stars from me because it was hot and crowded. Since its only 4 miles North of popular Bend, Oregon, its a convenient stop... but what I consider "pit stop camping," on my way to quieter destinations. They have good campground amenities for this: flush toilets, running water, showers. Its a pretty location, near many fun outdoor activities near and in Bend, but the sites were too crowded together for my taste. Note that, as in most of Oregon in high summer, open flames and camp fires are prohibited. It is a Red Flag zone, meaning there is a high danger of wildfires. In fact, as of last week (late July, 2018) you could see the smoke from several fires in the surrounding forests.
ScoutThis campground has it all, except water. Although, the water is nearby & there's bumper boats! Electricity, running water, showers, a fire pit, picnic table, a campstore, & firewood for sale. We only stayed two nights, but we had a great time. We went to nearby Richardson Rock Ranch & came back to the campground in the evenings. We will be coming back.
GuideThis is what Thousand Trails has become. Lots of permanent residence with junkie sites. Trash in the fire pit. Run down facilities. Lots of dust. At least this campground Has a little more space between sites compared to other Thousand Trails. The other good thing is that you are fairly close to Sunriver and about 20-30 minutes to Bend. We wouldn’t stay here again, but hey, it was free since our dealer gave us the Thousand Trails Membership.
TravelerShowers, bathrooms, and running water are available. A tent site is $21/night with 1 car allowed. Additional cars are $7/night. There aren't any tent sites secluded from yurts and RVs, so you will be hearing generators run, though people did shut them off at 10. IMO, it's expensive for a tent site in a spot where you're surrounded by glampers.
TravelerWe booked site 30, which is up a hill away from the water with a few other sites (27, 28, 29). The site was rated for 32 feet and we were able to comfortably fit our 31 foot trailer and long bed truck. We did have to pull in way too close to the fire pit to make this work but there is a burn ban so we would not have been using it anyway. It would have been nice to know that we were up a hill since we have a toddler, but it wasn’t a huge deal.
The trailer took up the vast majority of the level space available at the site, but otherwise it would be a nice space for a tent and chairs around the fire.
Be aware that the wind picks up around noon and goes super strong until after you go to bed. It’s great for not getting any mosquito bites but it is not a mild breeze!
The lodge staff weren’t overly helpful but not hostile either. I’m sure they are understaffed and annoyed by tourists just like everyone else. They had live music Saturday night and we would have loved to go if our little one wasn’t asleep.
The area has so many hikes and bike trails so close by that you could spend weeks there and not get bored.
GuideCute small campground on a little hill overlooking a lake. Tent sites by the lake's edge.
Very Clean bathrooms with code for campers. Pits for public areas.
Since there are no RV services be prepared to hear some generators running occasionally. Quiet hours 10PM-7AM. Water is available but may not be close enough for a hose to your RV. Most sites have good Starlink view of skies.
GuideOnly spent one night there, but enjoyed the stay. Many pull through spaces with full hookups and fire pit. Nice outdoor pool, playground, and the office/store was well stocked. Staff friendly on check in. Quite a ways from Redmond for shopping or restaurants, but a really pretty setting.
ScoutOnly a 10 minute drive from Bend, Tumalo offers a sophisticated camping experience. Heated individual showers, clean bathrooms, and quick access to firewood are a big step up from the usual camping basics. With the Deschutes River running through the park, there are also plenty of outdoor activities available. I had a great time, but make sure to bring warm clothes though--it can get pretty cold!
ScoutThere are two Devil’s lake campground. This one in particular is along the subalpine Devil’s Lake of central Oregon (NOT the beach) - sorry, no yurts, cabins, or marketplaces here.
It’s pretty amazing, though, as long as you plan for it! There are no drive-up sites, they’re all walk-ins. This is the access point for local trails like the PCT and South Sister summit trail.
Just a day at the lake is great though! I’ve spent a lot of time scrambling around this area and camping at Devil’s lake. Definitely worth it for a slightly more “rustic” adventure!
