Reviews

For Deschutes River State Recreation Area: We arrived late. State park. Many spots reserved for walk-ins. Options for both full hook ups and primitive sites on a walk in basis. Camp host was super helpful. Campgrounds are nice, green grass, right on edge of river. Bathrooms nice. Standard state park. Quiet except for distant road noise and the trains. We have a van and the train noise is tolerable. Would definitely want to earplugs if we were in a tent. A Sites are spacious on outside. A little tight on inside but still room for privacy. A sites are asphalt and primitive sites are mostly grass and some sand. B and T sites go quickly and not all are level. You are closer to your neighbor here but really not an issue. There is parking available for extra cars for a fee and some good hiking nearby. $24 at the time of our stay. $10 for primitive. It was super windy when we were driving i84but this campground is fairly sheltered and there is more of just a refreshing breeze blowing through.

For Deschutes River State Recreation Area: I agree with the comments on what a well kept lovely green park this is. My site was right on the river and I had a great view out my back window, it was very peaceful. When I booked this one night stay at the tail end of a much longer trip the comment before mine had not been submitted yet. The one about some noise that might affect a slight sleeper was. At home I have trains off in the distance and I don’t mind the noise at night at all. I am not a light sleeper but when you think you have a train in your campsite every hour blowing it’s horn and shaking the ground it very makes for a terrible night. I slept with a pillow over my head all night, which by the way didn’t help. I know there is an app out there you can download to see what trains are close to campsites, first thing I do when I get home.

For Deschutes River State Recreation Area: To add to and clarify what others have said: 1) beautiful camping / rv spots. lovely grounds. excellently kept. Clean, nice facilities. Great trails. You can't play in the river w/o a permit. It can be very, very windy here also. 2) It's not a missing feature, there really is NO DUMP STATION for rv tanks. Nor is there anywhere close by that offers this service. (now you know and can plan accordingly). 3) Train Noise. If you're stone deaf, this place is great. If you have any hearing left, be forewarned that the trains run at all hours, all night, and they LEAN on the horns plenty. We got almost no sleep at all. There's two tracks close by, and a grade crossing that requires they blow the horns plenty. Trains started at 4:30pm and kept it up, every 20 minutes at least, all night and into the morning. Road noise is also an issue, but not such as would wake you from deep sleep like the trains (when you hear your first one, you'll swear they're going to run right over you; it's that loud. We were in the A loop, and could literally feel the trains through the floor.) Personally, I would day trip here or, dry-camp in the B lot which is a bit farther from the road and trains. It might be a bit better.

For Deschutes River State Recreation Area: Price is good for a very nice place. Great trails. Pretty much hike as far as you’d like. The spots are all back-in. No pull-through at all. Showers are nice and it’s a pretty quiet place. The outer ring of A Loop all back up to a very large grassy area which makes the spots seem a little further apart. We have a 37 foot motorhome and didn’t have much of a problem backing in. I did see a few spots that made me wonder how tough it would be.
