Simax Group Campground

4 sites · RV, Tent

The livin’s easy at Simax Group Campground, thanks to a lakefront location, lots of picnic pavilions and—gasp!—hot shower facilities. The three group sites here are reservable in advance and are perfect for groups of 30 to 40 people. After a long day on the lake boating, skiing, or just lounging on the sandy beach, come shower off at camp—just try not to use up all the hot water. And be sure to check the campground website ahead of time for special alerts or closures.

I am going to be in early this year because of the lack of snow. I am going in March 22nd. I have taken the block off of the Gers and the camp sites. 8 campsites and 2 original Mongolian Gers. The season for the camp sites is from June 1st to end of Sept and the Gers for 2025/2026 winter are blocked out from Nov 15/25 to May 15/26. Pets allowed, toilets on site, campfires permitted when burn ban is not in place. Now up until this year I have provided Free Firewood. I have quit doing that for a variety of reasons, the least being the cost and the work for me. I am encouraging everyone to purchase a Propane Fire Pit if you don't have one by now. I am not to the point yet of saying no big dogs. Talk to me if you think your "big dog" might not fit in. I don't like them running thru other campers sites, so just be respectful. Take them for walks along the lake.. No Yappers, no barking dogs, no pain in the butts. Why would you drive by 46 grocery stores and forget to bring ice? No loud music. I have changed quiet time to 9:00 PM. If you need to listen to the chaos/stressful music I suggest you start a band or become a DJ. What I want folks to get out of being here, whether they are camping or staying in the Gers is just to “take a break”. Relax, appreciate, assess and just listen. I hope what you hear is the sound of life and of course all the Angels that make up this special piece of Heaven. Then there is the silence. The best part of “Heaven”.

Moonrise Meadow Willow Camp

35mi from Simax Group Campground · 3 sites · Tents, RVs

Moonrise Meadow is the name we’ve given the large wildlife migration meadow in front of our house on a quiet, rural gravel road that sees very little traffic. Willow Camp is your peaceful, private getaway with room for multiple RVs, including a U-shaped pull-through site that will accommodate all but the largest trailers. There are also two prime tent sites with soft ground created by layers of pine needles, as well as a shared porta-potty disguised as a vintage outhouse that includes a Dometic spigot and sink. Larger groups can be accommodated just across the street in the currently unused horse arena. Just 4 miles from Sunriver Resort, you'll find restaurants, shops, and plenty of activities only a short drive or bike ride away. Private neighborhood access to the Deschutes River is just 2 miles away, and miles of hiking trails in the Deschutes National Forest begin just down our road. Cascade Lakes Highway, with its abundance of lakes and trails, is 14 miles north and offers endless outdoor opportunities. Mt. Bachelor is just 20 minutes away, offering spring skiing through May, as well as downhill mountain biking and hiking during the summer. Mule deer frequent the meadow, and because there is a nursery just down the street, you may even see fawns. The mothers can be protective of their young, so please keep dogs under control. Elk also migrate through in the spring and fall, though they're rare during the summer. Coyotes are fairly common as well. We've spotted many native raptors, including Great Gray Owls, Great Horned Owls, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Prairie Falcons, and Red-tailed Hawks. Luckily, we've only lost one chicken to a raptor so far! We also see hummingbirds, woodpeckers, and many other bird species. Black bears and cougars have been seen in the area, although we've never encountered them ourselves. That said, we don't let our dogs wander unsupervised at night. And speaking of night, the night sky over the meadow is phenomenal, with the occasional chance to catch the Northern Lights!

Welcome to the Outdoor Stay Area at FourLeafs, a small forest campground nestled beneath the tall, mystical firs of the beautiful McKenzie River Valley. Surrounded by fresh mountain air, lush greenery, and the sounds of the forest, the space offers a relaxed balance of outdoor adventure, quiet retreat, and optional connection with fellow travelers. The campground currently includes three active campsites, each with its own feel. Big Leaf Maple Site is slightly more open and social near the communal fire area, while Pacific Yew Site offers a bit more privacy with close-in parking tucked away from the central gathering space. The Group Site sits farther from the shared fire pit, creating more separation for both groups and neighboring guests. Flat parking areas and easy site access make FourLeafs especially comfortable for tent campers, car campers, and small van setups. Guests can enjoy a shared campfire area with rustic log benches, ambient string lighting until 10pm, peaceful forest surroundings, and a swing-out grill over a complimentary wood fire when seasonal conditions allow.

Tent sites are covered with wood chips for a softer and more comfortable night’s rest. Hose water is available, including an insulated drinking-water-safe hose for improved taste and water quality.

42mi from Simax Group Campground · 1 site · Tent, RV

A secluded, dry campsite set on a private one-acre clearing among tall lodgepole pines in the Mount Scott Meadows area. Thoughtfully simple and intentionally unpolished, this space offers a quieter, more refined alternative to traditional campgrounds. Just 45 minutes from the north entrance of Crater Lake National Park, it’s perfectly positioned for both destination travelers and those passing through along Highway 97 in search of a peaceful, restorative stop. There are no designated pads or crowded rows here. Pitch your tent wherever feels right and settle into the rhythm of the forest. It’s camping, but with breathing room. No noise, no congestion, just open space and the soft hush of the trees. Whether you’re using it as a basecamp for Crater Lake or choosing to stay in and fully unplug, the experience is intentionally minimal, grounded, and calm. This is a fully self-guided stay. We are off-site, allowing for a seamless and independent arrival. All essential details will be shared in advance, with minimal communication by design, so you can enjoy an uninterrupted, more authentic connection to the landscape.
