Paulina Acre is located in the Newberry Estates development, NE of La Pine and about 30 minutes south of Bend. Our development is surrounded by BLM, national forest, and a wildlife preserve. It's about 10 minutes from town and 20 minutes to the Newberry Caldera natural area (Paulina and East Lakes). Gordy's truck stop is located just a couple of miles down the road for ice and other necessities.
I love small and unique spaces! I am remodeling a 375 sq/ft post WWII shotgun style cottage and am currently living in my 200 sq/ft tiny house on wheels that I built in 2016.
Please excuse my mess as I have a lot of big dreams for my property and many ongoing projects.

Moonrise Meadow Willow Camp

(10)
12mi from La Pine · 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!

Any Cheryl Strayed/Reese Witherspoon fans in the house? Retrace their Wild footsteps in the Fremont-Winema National Forest; part of the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail falls along the forest’s western edge. And the forest certainly is “wild”: the 2.3 million acres of lush green forests and alpine meadows shelter elk, antelope, bobcats, and bears--plus intrepid adventure seekers, like yourself! In the summer, try hiking or biking along the Crane Trail, which offers incredible views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. And don’t fret when the weather turns cold and snowy; Fremont-Winema turns into a winter wonderland! Strap on ski goggles and coast downhill, or rev it up on a snowmobile at the Quartz Mountain Sno-park. Back at camp, warm up with a cup of hot cocoa--with extra marshmallows, thank you very much--and start planning for your next day in Oregon paradise.

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”.

Campsite is on a second driveway to the front of the house on a wooded, half-acre lot in a quiet neighborhood in Southwest Bend. House lots are big and the area provides nice cool morning walks. There is a curb at the start of the driveway but aids will be provided if necessary.
Electrical (110x2; 50A with converter to 30A), water, and sewer hookups are available! The sewer hookup may not work if your drain is underneath your vehicle and low to the ground.
There is a fenced in yard that may be used if your dog(s) get along with mine and you help with poop patrol. You will need to check the fence line to confirm that your dogs cannot get out, as I am not responsible if they escape. A large part of my yard is rewilding, so you will see tall grasses and increasing varieties of flowers over the years.
A hot tub may be available by appointment. House is enhanced by the use of focused life force energy (FLFE.net), so enjoy relaxing in the higher vibes. There is one cat to rule us all and she may grace you with her presence if you welcome her. And a border collie to guard anyone she deems as part of her "flock."
Site is located an easily walkable ½ mile from a shopping center with grocery (just closed but hoping for another to take its place), vet, Mexican and Asian-fusion restaurants, and a wine bar with occasional entertainment. Beyond that, is a park with a climb to a tall hill with a lovely 360 overlook view of the surrounding mountains.
There is access to the river and river trail about ¾ mile walk away - this trail can take you all the way to Farewell Park and the Old Mill shopping area. And a bus stop is around the corner, just about a house length away.
This is a great base location for all your adventures in Bend and surrounding areas, and a quiet place in which to relax afterwards.
I enjoy hosting and always welcome any guidance, suggestions, and creative ideas to enhance this site.

Park in our big wrap-around driveway under beautiful Ponderosa pines, kick back, and fall asleep under a sky full of stars—no harsh streetlights here. Don’t worry though, we’ve got a floodlight and cameras for a little extra peace of mind. In the morning, you might even wake up to our neighborhood mule deer cruising through the yard.
Right across the street, you can hop on the Canal Trail and head either way. Cruise east for a quick 5-minute bike ride to Fred Meyer, Starbucks, and more. Or head west through 120+ acres of forest that connects straight to the Deschutes River Trail (about 4 minutes away). From there, it’s all about the outdoors—fishing, bouldering, biking, swimming, rafting…you name it.
Want to check out the Old Mill or catch a show at Hayden Homes Amphitheater? It’s all just ¾ of a mile down the hill—super easy to get to.
If you’re looking at Bend, you probably already know how great it is—tons of outdoor adventures, good food, and plenty to explore.
Please note: this is our home, not a campground, so being respectful of our neighbors is very important to us.
Thanks for checking us out—we’d love to host you! And if the timing doesn’t work this trip, hopefully we’ll catch you next time.
Cheers!

Our house is located in Wood River Village. It is the beginning of where the Deschutes River bends as it comes into the town of Bend. One can quickly and easily walk to the river trail from our house. By going up river, one gets the sense of being remote and in the forest along a well maintained trail that makes a 3 miles loop with many rapids visible from the trail. By walking down river, one can quickly access Hayden Homes Amphitheater, Old Mill shopping and Downtown on a paved walking path. 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

We were fortunate to be warmly welcomed by Julie and Clay!! Amazing property with everything you need to enjoy outside and stay comfortable inside! We enjoyed using the very much cared for outside sink & personal outside bathroom. Everything is well lit! Our child loved all the children's books, space to ride his bike, toys, horseshoes game, & loft! The cabin was well kept, clean, functional and very well thought out (bottled water, coffee, paper towels, etc). No harsh cleaner smell- bonus! Gentle essential oil smell- loved it! They have soft sleeping pads available and bring your own bedding-- perfect set up! THANK YOU JULIE AND CLAY! We'd love to come back!!

The Perfect Basecamp!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This place is an absolute dream! Tucked away near stunning Paulina Lake inside the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, it offers the perfect mix of wilderness escape and city convenience. We were just a short, scenic drive away, close enough to grab amazing food but far enough to feel completely off-grid and peaceful.
The site felt private and serene, with great views all around. After a day of adventure, having a hot shower and comfortable bed was the perfect way to end the day.
Whether you're here for the outdoors vibes, this spot nails it. We're already planning our next trip!
Pros: Secluded, amazing scenery, great host.

The Ghost Tree camp spot at Sage Ridge was my first Hipcamp experience and I could give it 5 stars. The hosts were very responsive and provided great directions to the location (which can be tricky to find in the dark, so you need to pay close attention!) The camp sites are well maintained, and the port-a-potty and camp kitchen are welcome amenities. The morning views of the property were beautiful. We were not bothered at all by the highway white noise as others have described. We will definitely return to this location next time we are in Bend!

We brought the wrong propane for our camping stove and David and other campers were there to help us. David has created a beautiful space that fosters community. We even stayed another night because of how ideal this spot was. Also, as another reviewer said, the port a potties were the best smelling and cleanest I’ve ever been in. This is a MUST BOOK.

So my sweet wife and I stayed here to get away from the wildfire smoke because we live near Prineville. This was a really amazing little campsite. Love the sign out front. It was pretty easy to find a place to park really amazing creative bathroom facility and the shower worked pretty good. I couldn’t figure out how to get the hot water on, but probably if I saw the host in person. Probably could’ve figured it out but extremely incredible. Nice set up like the tent was very nice. Very sturdy on a wooden platform incredible patio to sit outside looking out towards BLM land really loved that there was a my buddy heater in the tent itself and really absolutely just loved the mattress.

It was so comfortable. We brought our sleeping bag 0° sleeping bag and it was extremely comfortable I asked the host about the mattress and she was right it is fairly firm which she was so rare to find a mattress that’s firm you know for me and my spouse so definitely luxury camping for sure and it really is true. it does get cold at night, but our sleeping bag you know kept us warn and the tent you know is really insulated so to speak it’s it’s a really great tent also, the host was very nice.

Where to go
Deschutes National Forest
La Pine offers easy access to the Deschutes National Forest, a 1.8-million acre expanse that's chock-full of rivers, lakes, and mountains. Popular attractions include the Newberry National Volcanic Monument and Mount Bachelor.
Umpqua National Forest
South of La Pine, Umpqua National Forest offers beautiful waterfalls and lots of great hiking and camping opportunities. It's also home to Crater lake, the crown jewel of Oregon’s only national park.
The Deschutes River
Although technically in the desert, La Pine offers quick and easy access to Central Oregon's most popular rivers, including the Little Deschutes River, which runs straight through town. The Deschutes River and Fall River are also nearby, and the Wickiup Reservoir is just a short drive away.
When to go
Summers in La Pine are hot and dry, making the area ideal for camping and outdoor recreation, particularly if you want to spend time at one of the area’s many rivers. Just don’t expect solitude—Oregonians tend to be pretty outdoorsy, and campgrounds often fill up in summer months. Come in the shoulder seasons (April-May or September-October) for warmer temperatures, without the crowds. Because of La Pine’s high desert climate, it’s not uncommon for winter temperatures to drop below freezing.
