Tom's Rest offers a tranquil and picturesque camping experience, with many campers praising the stunning mountain views and the peaceful atmosphere. Host Cheryl is frequently mentioned for her exceptional hospitality, making guests feel welcome and cared for. The site is described as clean and well-maintained, with thoughtful amenities such as flushing toilets and recreational activities like pickleball. However, some reviews note the distance to the restroom from certain campsites, suggesting an onboard potty could be useful.

This was my favorite spot on our 1000 mile road trip! Nice, remote location with incredible views, beautiful property. Restroom was clean and a nice change from outhouses!
Cheryl was sweet and welcoming - we enjoyed the swing overlooking the canyon, although I don't think wd would have discovered it without Cheryl. INCREDIBLE dark sky views at night.
Driveway was steep, bit our old van made it!

We loved our stay at Tom’s Rest. The property is expansive and beautiful. You get front row seats to sunsets over the snow-capped mountain range and at night, you get to see the stars—so many stars! We got to see the Milky Way with our own eyes, 2 out of the 3 nights we stayed.
Cheryl is the kindest, sweetest person. We loved getting to know her and hope we get to see her on another stay at Tom’s Rest.

Nice remote place to stay yet still an easy drive to Sisters/Redmond/Bend. Great views. Clouds hung over the mountains most of the time but I did get early views to enjoy. Still great views even with the high clouds. Cheryl has done some wonderful things with the property. Very interesting. She is a wonderful lady. I did take a walk in the labyrinth. I had an all-day event so did not spend as much leisure time as I should have there.
This is my first hipcamp stay so not sure what to expect. I am a tent camper and in a traditional campground, it takes me a while (longer than most!) to scout out a good site with level/cleared site for my tent. It was very windy (expected in a higher open area) and I opted to sleep in my car as I have done in the past. I would say this is a great place if you have a camper/RV or plan to sleep in your vehicle. Less so for setting up a tent but I would still come back. It was great to enjoy a reserved spot without lots of other campers and their campfire smoke!

Very basic camping spot for our pop-up and that's what I expected. It's a but if a walk from sites 4 and 5 to the restroom, so on board potty would be a good idea. Beautiful setting. The views over the canyon are awesome and the light pollution free night sky is "heavenly".
Cheryl is a very friendly and I'm helpful host.

This place was great. It was very convenient to town, and yet had great views and felt very much in nature. There was such great star gazing and an amazing sunset. The host Cheryl is amazing as well. Incredibly nice and hospitable. This will be my go to spot when I am in town.

What a beautiful and tranquil spot! Cheryl is super helpful and accommodating; even loaning us a ladder and tools so we could make a quick repair on the roof of the RV. The site is on top of a ridge with great views of the Sisters and provides stunning sunsets. The driveway is a bit steep and gravel. If you have a big RV such as a Class A or Super C be sure to watch the tree branches. Blocks and/or levelers will likely be needed. We were in the site next to the solar shed which is a nice, full hookup site. The other full hookup site is next to the cabin but I would be inclined to inquire about backing up to the north side of the cabin to get the full scenic view from the RV. We really appreciate Cheryl sharing her little oasis with us!

We had an absolute blast at the site. We were fortunate enough to have met our host Cheryl and she took the time to show us around. She is AMAZING. Our site (5) was perfect for my wife and I who have a vw Eurovan. We were expecting to see some stars, but overwhelmed by how many we got to see when we were there. It was very nice to get away from the city lights. Thanks again Cheryl! :)

Tom's Rest is a true gem, offering a serene escape with breathtaking views of the canyon and surrounding mountains. Nestled in a perfect spot in close proximity to Sisters, Redmond, and Bend, it’s ideally located for both nature lovers and those seeking to explore these unique cities of Central Oregon. We stayed at RV Site 5, relishing a peaceful night and waking up refreshed for a hike at Smith Rock State Park, just a short drive away. Cheryl is a gracious host and has created an inviting retreat with thoughtful amenities and activities for the guests, and her local recommendations were spot-on. Her warmth and dedication truly shine through, making Tom's Rest not just a campsite but a heartfelt haven.

Cheryl was absolutely lovely and the camping space was beautiful. Will be back. We cannot thank her enough for her hospitality and willingness to work with us adding an extra person. It was great to have running water and a working toilet also!

We had a great overnight stay at Tom’s Rest. There’s great views of the mountains across the road from the campsite, Cheryl was very responsive to messages, and our dog appreciated being able to explore the grounds with us while off leash. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a campsite near Sisters or Bend.

This is a spectacular property with magnificent views of the mountains. It's quiet and peaceful, and there's plenty of space between campsites. We spent one night in our van, and felt absolutely safe and comfortable.

Cheryl's land and home are sights to see. She was so accommodating in every way for our group. Her passion for her home and what it offers is reflected in the smallest to the most significant of ways. I wish we could have spent more time here enjoying the wildlife, the wind, the location and the company. If she will have us, we will be back!

Cheryl has a beautiful property and she is the consummate Hipcamp host. We arrived on a very cold and windy day, so she checked on us to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She has lots to do there, including a labyrinth, which we walked. We would love to come again one day.

We enjoyed Cheryl’s warm welcome and the lovely setting at Tom’s Rest. The view of the snow-capped mountain peaks is spectacular! We camped in a pop-up trailer and made use of the water and electricity at site 1 and appreciated having the toilet and sink in the shop available a short walk away. Thank you Cheryl!
