OtterLodge
1 site · Lodging52 acres · Sisters, Deschutes
OtterLodge lies at the end of the road, on the rim of beautiful Whychus Creek Canyon. The property is surrounded by 60-acre Aspen Hollow nature preserve to the north, 40 unoccupied private acres to the south, and 40 acres of conservation easement to the west--so we're surrounded here by of over a hundred acres of nature.
One of only three Golden Eagle cams in the world is located on this property. (The other two are in Europe. The website is www.GoldenEagleCam.org, and the camera streams from mid-February when the eggs are laid, to early June, when the babies fledge.) Other animals I've seen here: wild turkey, deer, Western Lynx, and mountain lion (don't worry--they're shy!). There are beaver and otters in the nature preserve to the north, and I recently had to pause as I was driving out to let a stampede of elk pass over the driveway!
Imagine being able to enjoy all that from the comfort of your own Happier Camper modern retro travel trailer! There's a big, comfy bed, and a kitchen (see pics for details). There's wifi available in the trailer--but if you'd prefer to go on a digital diet while you're here, I can withhold the password if you'd like! ;-) There's no bathroom in the trailer, but you will have access to the bathroom in the shop about 100 paces away. Like most shop bathrooms, it's nothing fancy--but it does have a flush toilet, hot and cold running water, and a shower.
Other amenities include a climbing rock, horseshoe pits, short (1-2 mile) hikes out the door, excellent star-gazing (very little light pollution), and several benches/chairs/tables set up around the place to take in the views. If you brought bikes and want to bike to town, it's about 8 miles via the scenic bike route (or a 6.7 mile drive via the highway).
It's dog heaven out here, and dogs are quite welcome, provided they get along well with other dogs, of whom there are currently four in residence. Your area is not fenced (although I can provide 16 feet of portable dog pen, if you'd like), and my four are often with me around the property (i.e., not behind a fence). So please tell me *before booking* if your dog does not get along well with other dogs and we can discuss the details, and see if we can work something out.
Note: the trailer only has room for two adults; there is a queen bed, a small kitchen, and only a few square feet of open floor space. If you book for more than 2 people, you must provide a tent, bedding, and camp mats for those people. (Only exception would be a small, co-sleeping child.) There is a flat tent site just a few feet from the trailer.

Golden Triangle RV
3 sites · RVs2 acres · Bend, Deschutes
RV Parking only, no tent camping at this time. You may catch a glimpse of wildlife such as deer, eagles, lizards, birds, bunnies, and the two gremlins that live on the lower property. ( Please don’t feed them)
We encourage laughter, smiles, and enjoying the sunset. Tumalo State Park is a 3-4 minute drive away and a great place to float, swim, or just hang out for the day. As always if you have any questions or concerns please don't be afraid to reach out!
As crazy as this may sound, you are required to be able to set up your own RV, the very one you towed here. This includes but is not limited to chalking the wheels, leveling the RV, and hooking up and disconnecting. If you need help getting backed in we are happy to help guide you during daylight hours. If this is something you may struggle with and are unsure how to manage any of these tasks, we will not be held responsible for your "what in the heck were you thinking" moment

Camping near Camp Sherman guide
Situated on the Metolius River in the Deschutes National Forest, the compact community of Camp Sherman—affectionately referred to as “Sherm” by many locals and regular visitors— welcomes campers and outdoor enthusiasts galore during the summer months, owing largely to its numerous campgrounds and cabin resorts and ample opportunities for outdoor adventure. Popular area activities include hiking, camping, mountain biking, and birding, and getting out on the water. Fly-fishing is particularly popular here, and the Wizard Falls Hatchery—which raises over 2.6 million fish every year—is just a few miles downstream.
Where to Go
Bend
Central Oregon’s largest city, Bend, is just a short drive from Camp Sherman. Here you’ll find great dining, hiking, and boating opportunities, as well as easy access to the ski resort at Mount Bachelor.
Central Oregon Rock Formations
Camp Sherman puts you within an easy drive of some of Central Oregon’s most spectacular rock formations. Highlights include the nearby Oregon hoodoos and the rock-climbing hot spot of Smith Rock.
The Mt. Jefferson Wilderness
Spread out over nearly 105,000 acres, this protected wilderness area features soaring peaks strewn with lush fir and pine trees and the occasional alpine lake. It's particularly popular with backpackers, so make sure to secure a permit before you head out.
When to Go
Camp Sherman is at its busiest in the summer months, and if you want to visit between mid-June and Labor Day, it’s a good idea to book your campsite well in advance. The summertime temperatures here are warm, but not unbearable, and the presence of the Metolius River definitely cools things down. For a quieter time, consider coming in April, May, September, or October, when temperatures are generally pleasant enough for camping, but crowds are fewer.
