Fall and summer seasons bring heavy visitor traffic to McKenzie River corridor RV parks, necessitating advance reservations particularly for weekend stays. Several parks maintain proximity to mountain biking trails, fishing spots, and hot springs attractions. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with stronger signals near larger towns like Sisters and spotty coverage along forest corridors. RV travelers should note that navigation along Highway 242 presents challenges for larger vehicles. "This is NOT a road for RV's of any kind. There is NO wiggle room as this extremely narrow 'highway' was carved through lava fields and those lava walls are literally inches off the edge of the road," cautioned one reviewer. Most area RV parks welcome pets and provide picnic tables at individual sites, while market and laundry amenities vary between locations.
