Hi and welcome to Picknik Place LLC! This is a 20 acre farm, so there is plenty of land to roam free and explore, as well as having your privacy from the primary residents. With this spot, you are nestled under a juniper tree with a lava rock backdrop and can watch the sun dip below the volcanos in the distance. This spot is very simple and tucked away. While feeling remote and removed from the Bend tourism, it only takes 15 minutes to get downtown, where there are ample restaurants, shops, coffehouses, etc. It takes 7 minutes to get to Trader Joe's and Home Depot, and 10 minutes to get to St. Charles Hospital. Heads up- as many places in central Oregon, Picknik Place gets pretty dusty and dry in the summer months.

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.
