Best Cabin Camping near Alder Springs, OR

A small quaint Resort. Would love to stay at the cabins, but my schedule is the same as everyone else. Was told by the Ranger to come and stay after Labor Day, they are open year round. I find it easy to bring my kayak up and use the lake to enjoy rowing around. This would be a great place for those paddle boards. The lake is for non-motorized boats. Can do fishing too. The Lodge is open as a restaurant between Memorial to Labor day. Boat rentals, cabin rentals and tent sites avaiable check the www.linnparks.com or call (541) 967-3917. A must to RSVP

There are a couple differences between the Olallie Lake Resort and its facilities vs The Olallie Lake Guard Station Cabin. Although near to each other on the lake, and both managed by the  resort staff, the Guard Station Cabin is owed by the Forest Service. They do not allow pets in the cabin or in your car when you rent it. 

The resort rents a number of rustic cabins themselves, along with two yurts, and operates a number of nearby campgrounds, the store, and the boat rentals.

The Guard Station Cabin must be rented from Recreation.gov , and has much less basic facilities, kitchen with hot & cold running water.  Propane powered stove/oven,  refrigerator , and built in lights.  Pit toilet nearby,

I believe the other reviews refer to the resort's cabins.

I’ve camped here for many years, the campground is my absolute favorite. The friendly staff does an amazing job keeping the restrooms, showers and grounds clean. They offer Tent sites, Yurts, cabins, large RV spaces with full or partial hookups, boat rental, store, cafe, fish cleaning station, group shelter with electricity and electric cooking stoves.

this is pretty impressive, pool, cabins, store and very close to haystack reservoir and cove palisades

Link Creek, Suttle Lake has a unique explosion of camp sites all around. We happen to be on the west side of the lake with a handful of friends while our other handful went glamping in one of the several cabins on the east side. Day to day, we had a blast swimming, boating and creating trails of floaties (this was not a hiking trip). We rode canoes on the lake and didn't feel like the canoe/boat relationship hit heads. Our one complaint about the west side is the stinky toilets but has any campsite made non-stinky toilets? Hardly something reasonable to complain about. If you love lodging or pitching a tent. Suttle Lake has tons of trails and lake fun. Fishing on the east side is better than the west. I talked to a few fishing shops and friends to find that out. We took advantage of the lodge and restaurant for our friends birthday. We managed to pack in pinatas, rentals of all types of flotation devices, full bar, delicious food and friendly staff. We're only hoping we can get a spot for next year before it sells out!

Happy Camping!

The campground is ran by PGE. Camp host is super nice. Bathroom is very clean. Timothy Lake is Gorgeous! There’s even cabins to stay in!

Rented a rustic cabin a couple weeks ago. It was perfect. Lights out at 10 but lanterns and propane heat keep you comfortable. Rented a boat for the morning and had a blast.

We came here in summer and stayed in a cabin. It was clean and very spread out. We were among farms it seemed like and off the road so not much noise. This KOA compared to others didn’t seem to have a ton to do and was pretty dusty. It was fun though to be close enough to Bend to take some great hikes with the family.

We absolutely love this place. Big, clean, camping sites. Cabins are nice as well. The lake of course is the best part. Crystal clear but COLD. Great fishing. They have a little restaurant where you can rent boats. Bathrooms are nice as well.

Have a full tank of gas there is no service and closest gas station is far away and closes at night.

Antelope is a strange and beautiful little place. Part ghost town, part living community, it is often a welcome oasis on the Oregon Outback cycling trail. The path north out of Prineville is a beautiful ascent-descent of the Ochoco Mountains, which is pretty exhausting. If weather is a factor (we arrived in cold, wet and punishing wind) Antelope is a much better place to camp than Shaniko which is 8 miles up on a plateau.

The RV Park is a work in progress. We arrived without a reservation and were given a very nice spot to camp behind an old diner. Some small a-frame cabins are available with more being built, and a few spots to park campers with sewer dump and 30 amp hookups.

Overall I give this campground an outstanding rating. Hospitable, well-equipped, well-situated… great spot.

We snagged a great campsite that is just as you enter the grounds on the left. Multi level campsite, easy to access the trail that goes around the lake, a beautiful clear lake that hides a forest underneath, volcanic rock, row boat rentals, cafe and easy access from Portland.

Our first camping trip since moving to Oregon and we were impressed! There are primitive toilets, potable water, trash facilities and a community environment. The hosts of the campground were friendly and helpful.

We look forward to staying here again!

We enjoyed our quick 2 night getaway.  Nice bathrooms/showers.  Level lots.  Very good wi-fi.

The campground is nice and peaceful. Nice parking areas lots of hills. Relatively quiet for a weekend getaway

Totally thrilled to have discovered this "new" (to us) camp site not too far out of Portland, Oregon. About $20/site, including some amazing spots with water views. There's a boat dock/area, but when we arrived there in August the "lake" was more of a river, which was perfect for all the splashing and playing that we wanted to do.

Many of the camp sites are huge, and most also have beautiful trees and plenty of space. No showers and such, but the pit toilets are clean enough. If you're looking for a spot to get away for the weekend, do a little hiking, hang out by Mt. Hood and play in some water, this is a perfect campground.

If you enjoy getting away from the crowds and camping more primitively, this place is for you. Facilities at the campground include vault toilets and trash cans, but no running water, so bring your own. There is a boat dock and a few sites even have direct lake access. Some of the best rainbow trout fishing can be had here, there are some big ones lurking deep. Unfortunately since this is a reservoir, swimming isn't allowed, but human powered boats (canoe, kayak, SUP) are allowed.

If hiking is your thing, not only is there a relatively easy trail, i.e. good for families, that goes around the entire outline of the lake, but the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) is nearby, with some great views and small lakes (that you can swim in) along the way. Oddly in camp the mosquitos weren't bad, but on this section of the PCT I got eaten alive, so bring plenty of protection during mosquito season.

Before you get to the campground you'll see the the Olallie Lake "resort" with some primitive cabins and a yurt to rent. The resort has a small store (be sure to support them with a purchase) with pedal boats, rowboats and canoes that can be rented here.

There's plenty to do at Olallie Lake, so bring your fishing pole, your swim suit and your hiking boots and enjoy the amazing secluded views of Mt Jefferson and Ollalie Butte, and the solitude.

Very quiet and cold. Beautiful scenery and a nice place to get away. No cell service which can be good or bad 😸.  Very spacious sites that give privacy.  Bathrooms are alright with pit toilets; no showers unfortunately.  The lake was low when we were there.

This is a great location to get away from the modern world and enjoy the outdoors. Lots of great hiking trails and views are amazing. Definitely bring your bug spray and don’t try to drive those gravel roads in a small car (I drove up with a scion TC and a 12 minute drive took an hour having to avoid pot holes and everything) I loved the location and the accommodations are great. They have a little shop nearby but it’s cash only if you really need something so pack what you need. And bring a lantern
