Welcome to our family's Private Campground - The Desert Rose. A boondocking site for you and your family to enjoy! We have a Yurt, a cabin, 3 RV/Travel trailer pads and 2 tent sites created here and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space yet be all together. You can book the entire campground, or just one of the units. Whether it's just you, or you're bringing a crew, we know you'll love it here! Our favorite hikes in the Central Oregon area is Smith Rocks and Chimney Rock. The Prineville reservoir is roughly a 12 minute drive and the starry nights here are something to behold. Up the road is the most unique petting zoo that we recently found! Find it and you might just be able to hold a baby kangaroo! Boondocking site means there is no hook-ups or running water so you'll want to bring in your own water and heat if you're here in the colder months. Your four legged furry family members are welcomed! They must be accompanied at all times and not left on the property alone. The dog run is for you to keep closer tabs on them while relaxing, not for leaving them while going into town or enjoying the area. The dirt is very soft and it wouldn't take very long for them to dig under to get out and go looking for you. The cabin or yurt is also not a pet storage area - with no power or AC, pets are not allowed to be left alone in the dwellings.

Desert Rose Cabin - Wooden Goddess

100%
(6)
Cabin · Sleeps 6
If you do not have your own tent but want to take the whole family out to enjoy a camp trip, this is the site for you! The Wooden Goddess was named by our 5 year old and how could we argue? It is larger then The Yurt and has a futon provided and enough room to throw in a blow-up air mattress and store your belongings. This listing is for the cabin only. If you would like to book the entire campground for your group to enjoy privately, please find our other listing 'Desert Rose Private Campground'. The entire campground is this cabin, a yurt, 3 pads for RV's/trailers and two designated tent sites. It would be hard to find a better location to view the stars! This area is considered a Starry Night Sanctuary, and with next too no neighboring lights, the heavens open up. Our campground is a 'Boondocking' site, meaning there is no utilities or running water. You will want to bring your own water and heating. Our favorite hikes in the Central Oregon area is Smith Rocks and Chimney Rock. The Prineville reservoir is roughly a 12 minute drive also, up the road is the most unique petting zoo that we recently found! Find it and you might just be able to hold a baby kangaroo.

Yurt · Sleeps 5
Welcome to our family's Private Campground - The Desert Rose. A boondocking site for you and your family to enjoy! The yurt is the prime site for watching the stars while you drift off to sleep. The clear dome allows you see straight up into the deep dark space after you come in from the fire. It is an experience difficult to replicate. We have a Yurt, a cabin, 3 RV/Travel trailer pads and 2 tent sites created here and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space yet be all together if booking the entire campground. This listing is for the yurt only, and If you would like to book then entire campground to yourselves, please find our other site listing "Desert Rose Private Campground" Our favorite hikes in the Central Oregon area is Smith Rocks and Chimney Rock. The Prineville reservoir is roughly a 12 minute drive and the starry nights here are something to behold. Up the road is the most unique petting zoo that we recently found! Find it and you might just be able to hold a baby kangaroo Boondocking site means that there is no running water or electricity. You will want to bring your own water and heat. Thank you! :)

Yurt · Sleeps 19
This is our family campground that we would love to share it with fellow campers! Enjoy the clear dome Yurt to view to the stars while you begin to drift to sleep. An insulated cozy cabin with a porch to enjoy your morning cup of coffee. For the kids and those that want the tent experience, there are two designated areas to pitch them up. There is also 3 leveled and rocked pads for your RV/Travel Trailer. This is a Boondocking site, meaning there is no hook-ups or utilities here. You will want to bring your own water and heat. BLM land is less then a mile away that doesn't take long to find some amazing views up over the Crooked River. If you can, catch a sunrise there. What our family has loved most with this land is the peaceful quiet serenity. At night, the heavens show themselves so beautifully on clear nights that always makes us feel like we are in a sanctuary. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have! Pets are welcomed and must be accompanied at all times. The dog run here is not for leaving your pets when you are off property, the ground is very soft and would not take long for them to get out if they tried to go find you. It is for you to help keep an eye on them while you enjoy some relaxation and not worry about them getting off property where you cannot see. Since the cabin and yurt do not have power or AC, pets are not to be ever left in the dwelling while you are off property. This listing is for private access to the entire property.

Neat private campground basecamp
Desert Rose Cabin - Wooden Goddess
To find Jacob's, you'll snake back through a rural "neighborhood" for a while -- but then! Just like that! You're alone! In the middle of nowhere! While not 100% remote, it did feel like we had a lot of space and privacy. The land is divided clearly into different spots, which would make it excellent for mixed group camping (e.g. folks in the group could stay in different accommodation types: tent + yurt + wooden goddess). We stayed in the Wooden Goddess and found it to be clean (no cobwebs or dust), equipped with sturdy furniture (basic futon & coffee table), and secure (windows and doors sealed well from the elements). We brought a table to set up an outdoor kitchen for our stay, and thought an outdoor picnic table nearby would have been nice. (There are some tables around the property, so it's probably just a matter of moving tables around?) We loved our stay, and took astrophotography from the property because it was so dark and night sky visibility was great! We did not have to battle extreme heat during our stay, but be warned: there isn't a lot of natural shade nearby, so keep that in mind if you do book in this area!

Desert Rose Private Campground
Easy to find location. Directions were accurate. The number of people who could sleep in the yurt / cabin are definitely a stretch. Luckily we had a sprinter van with us so some folks slept in the van. The bathroom is also a portable unit in need of some servicing. A compostable toilet would be a good swap. Luckily it all worked out.

We enjoyed our time out in Desert Rose. Seemed to be the only ones around. We stayed in the Yurt recommend taking extra blankets for overnight. Unfortunately was unable to enjoy a campfire to do extreme heat. Will be returning at another time to enjoy more peace and quiet!!

We loved staying in the yurt at the desert rose. It was a great off grid experience and the stars out there are amazing. Overall quiet and peaceful, we'll definitely make our way back out to stay again when we can.

Desert Rose Campground - The Yurt
Very cool spot! Stayed in the yurt for a week, even booked another day, just awesome property and area! Great place to go off the grid and unplug! Yurt is really cool, loved the sky dome, amazing at night! Lots to do in the area, did a lot of rockhounding and hiking. My kitties loved it, great for animals and kids...lots to explore, trees and plants, very private but a little fence around the 2 acres! The set up is awesome with the fire pit, tent sites, paths between everything, I just loved it! I just happened to meet the property owner and she was amazing, very personable and friendly, but not micromanagers, you are completely autonomous, but if you need something they're right there! Shared some great rockhounding Intel! I highly recommend and will be back again!

Wooden Goddess weekend
Desert Rose Cabin - Wooden Goddess
Desert Rose is a beautiful little private spot, perfect for large group of people or a secure place to take your pets to hide away from the world. Quiet, serene, and full of life. Wooden Goddess was a cozy little home for us to hike up for the weekend and be in our own little world. Just enough amenities to feel comfortable in our temporary home away from home, with a feeling of safety.

Desert Rose Campground - The Yurt
Basic but comfortable yurt in the high desert of Central Oregon. Quiet neighborhood conveniently located between Prineville and the state park at Prineville Reservoir. Forty-five minutes from Redmond and an hour from Bend. Clean portable toilet onsite but no fresh water source. Overall a great little camp space.

The host Jacob was quick to respond with communication and checked in on us due to extreme weather to make sure we were OK. The grounds, restroom, structures, and futon were clean. A nice, cozy spot will definitely be back!

A perfect off-grid dark sky retreat
Desert Rose Private Campground
We had an incredible time! Jacob and his family were fantastic hosts. Extremely flexible, timely, and kind in all communication before our arrival. The campground has all the basics you need for a perfect, off-grid camping experience: multiple options for tents, a yurt, compost toilet, shower, garbage, and the lovely Wooden Goddess. And their campground is quiet, private, and gorgeous. It's clear they have put love and care into their space. The campground is less than 5 minutes away from BLM land, 20 min to Prineville, 20 min to the reservoir, and just a few minutes further to Crooked River. And make sure to check out Gramma Rose's Petting Zoo in the neighborhood! The night sky is stunning. Can't wait to return with more friends next summer :)
