Best Cabin Camping near Westfir, OR

General: Located just across the street from the North Umpqua River, there is a mix of:•

* petite RV sites (RVs up to 20’ with FHU 20-30 amp- 3)

* deluxe RV sites (RVs up to 29’ with FHU 30-50 amp- 5)

* Super RV sites (RVs up to 60’ with FHU 50 amp- 7)

* glamping tents (7)

* cabins with heat and A/C(4)

* a cottage

* a tiny home

* camper

* retro bunkhouse

* retro RV 

Site Quality: We were in a deluxe RV site that had a level gravel camper pad, electric hookup, fire ring, and picnic table. Unlike most RV parks, there was a decent amount of foliage between most sites to provide a measure of privacy. 

Bath/Shower House: Two toilets, two sinks, and two showers. Clean but limited privacy for the toilets with just a curtain. Bench and hooks are outside of showers with no other separation so there is a lack of privacy there as well (did not use the shower so I cannot comment on how well it worked, although they looked nice). 

Activities/Amenities:

* Guided and Self-guided hiking tours

* Guided and self-guided mountain bike tours

* a full-day waterfall tour ($75 pp, with 24-hour advance notice)

* whitewater rafting tours

* Stream and river fishing holes

* Fly fishing and hunting

* Kayak rentals on Toketee Lake (We had hoped to do this, but the weather had other plans)

* Wi-Fi is available for $2.99 per 24-hour period per device but it was flaky at best

* There is a store with ice, firewood, food, beer, and wine, apparel, propane, diesel, and gasoline, rafts, and sleds. 

We arrived later than planned (just before dark) and it was cold and rainy the next day so we were not able to take advantage of the many nearby recreation activities but the staff recommended a nearby waterfall hike that we could do in inclement weather. We would definitely consider returning during better weather.

Been staying here for a number of years and love the spot, its quiet and has a view of the lake + shower and a flush toilet. Clean running water inside as well as outside. A fire pit and picnic table over look the lake and a front porch with chairs for that morning sun.

This time around the place doesn't seem as clean as in years past (you clean it yourself and the forest service says they do a deep clean once a week, which I would question) and we would find droppings on the kitchen table in the morning. There was also something crawling between the walls that liked to make noise around 5 am every morning, so no sleeping in if you are sleeping in the bedroom.

I don't think this is worth $120 a night for all the work you need to put in (cleaning, own linens and hall away your trash) especially with COVID and the extra time it took to really wipe stuff down.

When we Stayed: January, Thursday-Saturday

The Cabins: we stayed in a deluxe cabin. It had a full bathroom and kitchenette - I've stayed in other state park campgrounds and this was the biggest cabin I've stayed in!

Location: beautiful wooded park with a trail along the river. On a morning walk I saw a herd of elk cross the river and run behind the cabins! The cabin area was large and private but I didn't explore the rest of the park since it was the middle of winter when we were there.

Dog Friendly: huge off leash fenced park that's a bit of a walk or quick drive from the main campsites.

This was a quick overnight stay. Extra star for the pretty snow.

Literally no issues. Stayed in a cabin with electricity and a working heater. They had a air purifying system installed into each cabin to meet COVID needs.

Cabin clean, two double beds. Bring your own bedding.

Small table and two chairs.

Fantastic wide porch with long bench to sit on watch the stairs.

Site came with pic nic table and firepit. 

Dogs romping, walking and hiking around the snow. 

Roads were pretty easy to get through, and clear signage.

Clean bathrooms.

No issues with checking in or out.

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

We had a great time staying at River Bend! This was our first trip here and won’t be our last, we’ve already made reservations for next year.

The sites were maintained very well and the camp hosts were very friendly. In addition to the paved driveway for our trailer, there always a nice, large concrete pad for the picnic table with a fire pit built on to the corner. The neighboring site on the right was 20-30 yards away and the site on the left was 100+ yards away. Lots of trees all around, good shade for those hot August days.

The bathrooms for the loop were a nice walk but not too far and they were cleaned 2x per day.

We spent most of our days at the river swimming, floating in tubes, skipping rocks and looking for crawdads. It was an easy walk on well maintained trails to get to the river.

The playground and adjacent field were fun for playing and games in the evenings.

Being a long, hot year there were no fires allowed in the fire pits. That was a small bummer, but the fire danger was so high that it wasn’t a big deal. We used our propane fire ring instead and that was great. Kind of nice coming away from a camping trip and not smelling of smoke 😁

Lucky enough to score a last minute site on the State Park website.  South #39.

It's a great spot, don't pass it up.

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!

Family friendly campground with a center lawn, some folks were playing badminton and frisbee.  Lot's of kids on bikes enjoying the loop and the forest trails.

Clean bathrooms with running water, and a delightful warm shower to shed some trail dust after a hike.

Our site was nicely graveled and level with water, a picnic table, and a fire ring.  $32/ night.

LOTS of campers had dogs with them, sound of kids playing and dogs saying hello started by 8 am.  Doesn't bother me at all, but If you are looking for forest solitude, this might not be your place on a crowded weekend.

All-in-all, top notch.  Well done Oregon State Parks!

We 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.
