Rafting and fishing on the Deschutes River draw most visitors to Maupin City Park, a municipal campground sitting directly on the riverbank in the center of Maupin, Oregon. Boat tie-ups and a concrete dock give paddlers direct access from the water, so rafters can pull in after a day on the river without hauling gear far. The campground splits into two distinct sections: one side accommodates RVs and trailers with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, while the other leans toward tent camping with grassy sites along the river. Reviewers note the RV side can feel tight for rigs longer than 35 feet, and overflow parking across the street handles tow vehicles when space runs short.
Sites are close together, and the campground books up quickly during summer. Noise is worth factoring into your planning. Train tracks run along the opposite bank, and trains pass once or twice through the night. The campground stays clean and well-maintained according to multiple reviewers, and staff hosts are consistently described as helpful. Hot showers are available, which campers doing multi-day river trips tend to appreciate.
One practical note from recent visitors: a few incidents of overnight theft from campsites have been reported, so securing valuables inside your vehicle or trailer before bed is advisable. Imperial River Co. sits nearby for campers who want a different setup, and those exploring campgrounds around Maupin will find several options along this stretch of the Deschutes. Reservations are available year-round and recommended if your trip dates are firm.
