Little Cultus Campground, near Bend, Oregon, is a fantastic spot for families and outdoor lovers alike. With its stunning lake views and a laid-back vibe, it’s perfect for pitching a tent or parking your RV and soaking in the natural beauty.

The campground offers a range of activities right at your fingertips. Visitors rave about the shallow waters of Little Cultus Lake, making it a safe playground for kids to splash around. If you’re into kayaking or paddleboarding, this is your place. One camper noted, “The lake is absolutely stunning,” and it’s hard to argue with that.

While the amenities are basic—think pit toilets and no showers—the breathtaking scenery more than makes up for it. The road in can be a bit bumpy, but that just adds to the adventure. Campers have enjoyed evenings filled with the sounds of owls and elk, creating a truly immersive experience in nature. Just be prepared for some rough roads if you venture to more remote spots nearby.

Great site!

Spent 3 nights here with the fam. Great little lake to kick around on. Excellent for the kids as the lake was very shallow near the shore. The night was full of owl hoots and elk bugles. Prepare for a very bumpy road in.

Great dispersed camping right on the water

The proper Little Cultus Lake Campground has a bunch of sites but only a few on the water and not really worth the $ unless you get a site on the water. If you turn right instead of going left towards the campground, there are around 5-6 dispersed sites right there on the corner plus an amazing single site about 1/2 mile down that road, right on the lake. No cell service, rough roads, but amazing views right on the water of Little Cultus Lake. One of our favorite dispersed sites. For even more remote dispersed camping you can drive up to Irish and Taylor Lakes that have beautiful dispersed sites on the water but the road up is rough rough rough, not suitable for anything but a high clearance 4x4. About an hour from Bend.

Long gravel road to a beautiful pristine lake

Camping is dirt off grid pit toilets but the lake is worth it. Great for SUP, kayaking, fishing floating swimming a small parking lot for day use and fee.
