This park has always been a favorite of ours. Nestled at the base of Mt Hood, there are awesome hikes just a short drive away. And in the fall you can go apple picking at the orchards everywhere.
The campground is on the river and we enjoyed listening all night. Very quiet at night.
It was such a beautiful drive out the gorge to Lyle, and then up the hill to this great spot. The hosts greeted us on arrival and explained that we could drive around the property to find the perfect spot for us. There’s a big field with play equipment for kids, and pine trees below, where we found a nice spot with half shade, picnic table, and fire ring. Over the weekend there were maybe 10 other groups on the property but spread out pretty nicely. The family hosting is super nice and their dogs loved to visit. Really quiet at night with great star gazing. Definitely recommend!
We stayed here last weekend and really enjoyed our time. We were lucky enough to be in a big group site and had our own bathroom. There was even a kitchen sink outside for cleaning!
The campground is right by the river and just 15 mins from Bend. The location for us was great.
