Glamping, Car camping, and RV parking

The facilities are great! If you're looking to do activities along the Deschutes River this is a great spot to call home! We are more into camping/car camping than "Glamping" (i.e. running water onsite, electric onsite, flushing toilets very near by, shower facilities very near by) and the A loop fits more into the Glamping. That being said, the facilities were very clean, the host was seen cleaning the bathrooms every morning. The host was friendly and welcoming to us and also were the park rangers that were there. There is a beautiful day use area that was utilized by many and a great break from the heat due to all of the trees and the breeze off of the water. Our site was in the sun during the majority of the day which seems more passable when not in a tent but rather a pop up or RV unit. There are great hiking trails right from the camping grounds. There is also a great trail that goes up to a high hill point that offers a beautiful view. We saw lizards, red ants, dragon flies, butterflies, birds, geese and a friend saw 2 rattlesnakes (he did an early morning hike on the hill). The other campers were friendly and nice to talk to. There were lots of families and dogs and enjoyment. If we return to these grounds we are going to camp in a spot that is more geared towards tent camping. This is only because of our personal wants. It is great that these grounds offer such an array of camping options!
