Located on a quite circle with the far away country feel yet minutes to lots of shopping. Bring your camp trailer or a tent (There is a flat spot designed for tents). You will have access to a picnic table, a round patio table, propane barbeque (Propane included) with a one cook top burner, water and a 20-amp hookup. The campsite boards a small farm with goats, sheep etc. so, you will hear them from time to time. Located in Central Oregon just minutes from Tumalo State Park and found on the Deschutes River. The river runs through downtown Bend offering a lazy river experience. There are plenty of float rental companies in town which also offer shuttle service. The Deschutes River has an amphitheater boarding it with top name bands every few weeks.

For you adventures rock climbing visitors, there’s Smith Rock State Park 30 minutes north and Mt Bachelor 50 minutes to the west for you downhill and Nordic skiers in the winter with plenty of mountain biking and hiking in the Phil’s trail system in the summer. 15 minutes north is “Well Rooted” (https://wellrootedfarms.co yep without the m at the end of their website) where you can pick your own fresh produce, buy meats etc. Fifteen minutes to the west is the Tumalo Reservoir for some quit walking and spectacular views of the mountains. I do not have a dump station; I do offer a portable restroom that gets serviced once a week. If you have a trailer, there's a dump station, "Camp World" charging a $10 flat fee located 3.2 miles from the camp site.Pitch a tent or back your trailer (Up to sixteen foot) in the middle of five acres for a minimum of 15 days without moving it once it's parked as I don't want a trail to form. Access to your own private picnic table, portable outhouse, and propane barbeque with one cook top burner (Propane included).

Sweet ranchette just outside Bend

4 m travel trailer · With pets

Super location - close enough to be convenient, far enough to enjoy the night sky and quiet. Matt was super friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. And the nearby goats and ducks were adorable as a well! I'll definitely be back.

Safe and quiet spot

5 m Class B

What a great place to stay! Matt has a picnic table, barbecue and fresh water in a very secluded spot. I felt safe.

Matt was super friendly and helpful! This would be an excellent site for anyone with a small trailer who isn't bothered by early farm noises. We have a pop-up tent trailer, and the site isn't ideal for that type of vehicle. We had a hard time positioning the trailer on the grass and then getting it level. We also had to pack out our gray water, which was unexpected but easily solved with some empty gallon jugs. I have to say - having a port-a-potty all to ourselves was amazing!

Great private campsite with only farm animals for neighbours. Matt has provided us with all the amenities that we could have expected from a big RV resort. Water, power, bathroom, Wi Fi are all great. Highly recommend this campsite if we ever leave.
