Secluded site
We stayed here two night, using the place as our base for visiting Crater Lake. The site was the last home / property down a private road. No one was in the home and the other campsite wasn’t booked, so we had the place to ourselves. The owners put some thought and effort into making the two sites appealing, like solar lighted pathways and picnic tables. They left a dog water bowl for our two dogs. We loved sitting on the deck next to the creek - so relaxing. And the freshly cleaned porta-potty was nice too (the outhouse is being repaired). But the site was very buggy in the mornings and evenings, and our Sprinter van took up most of the very limited parking area. My husband and our dogs liked this place very much so. I didn’t like the mosquitoes. I think a big reason why we mostly liked this site was how secluded it felt. If another group had booked the other campsite (which is separated by a Cost Plus-type screen) I don’t think we would have enjoyed the place as much.

Rainbow campsite was fantastic! We were in the area for a music festival in Redmond. It was a short drive from the campsite to Redmond or Bend. The scenery is beautiful. The river is about ten steps away. You might bring some bug spray for the mosquitos, but other than that, it was perfect!

We loved camping here. The site is great and very relaxing. Just what we wanted. The parking does not directly connect to the campsite though, so we couldn’t use our car tent.

Crawdad Camping 🦐
We had a wonderful stay at Crawdad campground. The private dock was such a highlight and the sound of the creek was so peaceful. The picnic bench and chairs were a really nice added bonus. There was another camp very close but the other campers were lovely neighbors. We would definitely return for another low key vacation!

My friend and I really enjoyed our time at this site. It’s an absolutely beautiful creek and the dock is great! We did feel a bit awkward doing our tent camping, camp stove and dishpan using, picnic table eating, lantern/headlamp flashing, and tooth brushing routines right next door to a large, occupied home with windows facing our site. That said, I’m so thankful that this owner shares his beautiful space and that the neighbors don’t seem to mind. Just something to consider if privacy is important to you.

The campsites are right next to each other, as stated in the description, and there is also a cabin/house on each side. The creek is really nice. The campsite is all sand, so it is very dusty. There were also a LOT of ants around the site, which the people who stayed in the other site commented on as well. I always expect mosquitoes when camping, especially in the woods, but definitely bring bug spray! Overall, it was a nice experience and I would probably stay again if we are ever back in the area.
