Check out the Hayden Homes Amphitheater websites for their concert series this year. https://www.eventticketscenter.com/hayden-homes-amphitheater-bend-tickets/525456/e?gclid=Cj0KCQjw06OTBhC_ARIsAAU1yOUS7UvoFf-WWpnWbHjLjiXzVu0zkNnzLjvGaFg_Oh2eCBJhXHjRfIEaAvU7EALw_wcB Learn more about this land: Campers will be camping in our backyard, surrounded by old growth Ponderosa pines.

Pollack Pines Campground

5 sites ¡ RVs, Tents1 acre ¡ Bend, OR
Our Campsites are located on 1/2 acre set outside of Sunriver attracting outdoor enthusiasts with year-round sunshine and easy access to some of the most spectacular natural areas for boating, kyaking, fishing, hiking mountain biking, and skiing, not to mention the abundance of wildlife to see. The Deschutes River is accessible within a mile of the campsites. Surrounded by Lakes and Mt Bachelor just minutes away. Sunriver is just 5 minutes away from the campsites and is only a short drive away from Bend and Lapine. While outdoor fun reigns supreme here, it’s also a bit of a foodie destination, with a wide range of local breweries. One of Central Oregon's biggest draws, the Deschutes River and its tributaries, lakes, and reservoirs attract boaters and paddlers, particularly in the summer months. Private and public camping opportunities abound near the river, Anns Butte, Bachelor, Sisters, LaPine State Park, and Tumalo State Park, a riverside gem with canyon trails, swimming holes, and excellent rainbow trout fishing. Unfortunately, this pristine spot is no secret—book early to secure your spot in the summer. We have an awesome circular driveway for arriving and leaving. "On your honor" bikes to use and an "on your honor" game bin - all complimentary!

The best camping near Tumalo State Park guide

Overview

About

On the banks of the Deschutes River just north of Bend, Tumalo State Park makes a great base for taking advantage of the sunny region's many opportunities for outdoor adventure. Tumalo Campground features a mix of yurts and campsites along with an amphitheater and a playground, and while it’s popular with camping families, it also attracts kayakers and anglers. A favorite among hikers, part of the Deschutes River Trail passes through the park.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Tent sites, hook-up sites, and yurts can be reserved as early as six months in advance up to one day in advance through Oregon State Parks, either online or over the phone.
  2. Same-day reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis. A vacancy sign at the park entrance signals availability—arriving early is your best bet.
  3. Be flexible. If you’re able to camp on weekdays, you’ll have more luck securing a campsite.

 

When to go

The best times to visit Tumalo State Park are spring (May and June) and early autumn (September and October), when temperatures are warm but not unbearably hot and kids are still in school. The park is open year-round, although some campsite loops and the group camping areas close from late autumn through the middle of spring. The flush toilets and campsite water spigots also close during winter.

Know before you go

  • Tumalo State Park is in an area of high wildfire danger, so campfires, propane fire rings, and even cooking stoves may be banned during your stay. Check ahead for the most up-to-date information and be prepared to eat food that doesn’t require cooking.
  • The best place to stock up on groceries and supplies is Bend, about a 15-minute drive away. Firewood is available for purchase at the campground.
  • The park campground features four accessible campsites and one accessible yurt, plus wheelchair-accessible flush toilets.
  • Pets are welcome, provided they are kept on leashes. Two yurts are pet-friendly.
