Hi and welcome to Picknik Place LLC!
This campsite is situated on a 20-acre farm, so it feels remote and removed from the primary residents. With this spot, you are nestled under a juniper tree that provides ample shade with a lava rock backdrop, and can watch the sun dip below the Three Sisters volcanoes in the distance. This spot is very simple and tucked away, perfect for stargazing at night with limited light pollution. There is a picnic table, swing, and fire pit (please make sure the fire ban is off for this). There is no water, electricity, septic, or wifi. You do have cell service.
Please remember, you may encounter wildlife. This can include, but not limited to, deer, coyotes, snakes, spiders, etc. I have seen many bull snakes around that mimic rattlesnakes but are harmless. As long as you do not aggravate any animals, they should leave you alone. Also, please remember if you have pets, to keep them under control and be aware that cheat grass in the summer months can get stuck in their paws, ears, etc.
While feeling remote and removed from the Bend tourism, it only takes 15 minutes to get downtown Bend, where there are ample restaurants, shops, coffeehouses, the Deschutes River, etc. It takes 7 minutes to get to Trader Joe's and Home Depot, and 10 minutes to get to St. Charles Hospital. We are perfectly situated between Smith Rock State Park (25 minutes) and the High Desert Museum (17 minutes).
Heads up: as many places in central Oregon, Picknik Place gets pretty dusty, dry, and hot in the summer months. You may also encounter minimal road noise. Enjoy this private spot with all of the surrounding natural beauty!

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

Park in our spacious wrap‑around driveway beneath towering Ponderosa pines, then drift off under a brilliant canopy of stars—no harsh streetlights, just true Central Oregon night skies. For peace of mind, the property is equipped with a motion‑activated light and security cameras to keep you and your gear safe.
Wake up to the fresh scent of juniper trees and, if you’re lucky, enjoy a quiet morning watching a local herd of mule deer grazing through the yard.
Just across the street, you’ll find access to the Central Oregon Canal Trail, running both east and west. Head east for an easy 5‑minute bike ride to Fred Meyer, Starbucks, and plenty of other conveniences. Go west and you’ll cruise through 123+ acres of forested public land, connecting directly to the Deschutes River Trail—only about 4 minutes away.
Once there, adventure is everywhere: fishing, bouldering, biking, swimming, rafting, and wildlife viewing are all just a short walk from the property. Planning a visit to the Old Mill District or Hayden Homes Amphitheater for shopping, dining, drinks, or a concert? It all begins just ¾ of a mile downhill.
If you’re viewing this listing, you probably already know what makes Bend such a special destination—world‑class outdoor recreation, great food and drink, and a relaxed mountain‑town vibe. But if you’d like recommendations or local tips, we’re happy to help you find the perfect spot.
We’ll continue adding photos and amenities as we grow, and we truly appreciate your interest. If the dates don’t line up this time, we hope to host you on your next trip to Bend.

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.

We really enjoyed this spot! It’s a great home-base for Bend / Redmond activities. The site was level and the Juniper tree at the site provided perfect shade from the afternoon sun. There is minimal road noise and didn’t bother us at all. I love sites that offer an early check-in add on and this one has that - we were able to be there at noon! The site is private, we were left to ourselves, and had plenty of area for our dogs to be off leash. We plan to book a return visit!

This was a nice place to stay. The day we got there, the owner showed up, showed us around and we were left alone after that. I appreciated that.
The site itself is nice. There are a few good places to put up a tent, but I ended up sleeping in the tipi, which was plenty comfortable and more roomy than my tent. It got down in the low 20s two of the nights we were there, but it kept the wind (and a bit of rain) off nicely.
The camp site sits across a small bridge and down a hill. It's not a long walk by any means, maybe 30-50 feet? But it was nice being able to ride our motorcycles down and park down there.
I'll definitely be adding this place to my roster of camping places.

We loved our stay at Blue Hour Acres! The yurt was comfortable- even on our last night when it was super cold outside. Our favorite part was the sauna and outdoor shower- so invigorating! And... the bathroom was adorable- I loved the old west portraits and the bidet and WARMED seat! It was great for when it was cold outside.
Lisa was super responsive and very hospitable- starting the sauna up for us and getting the hose set up for showers.
It's a great location for being close to town but not IN town. We loved checking the stars out at night.
Thanks for a great stay!

Overview
About
On the banks of the Deschutes River just north of Bend, Tumalo State Park makes a great base for taking advantage of the sunny region's many opportunities for outdoor adventure. Tumalo Campground features a mix of yurts and campsites along with an amphitheater and a playground, and while it’s popular with camping families, it also attracts kayakers and anglers. A favorite among hikers, part of the Deschutes River Trail passes through the park.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Tent sites, hook-up sites, and yurts can be reserved as early as six months in advance up to one day in advance through Oregon State Parks, either online or over the phone.
- Same-day reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis. A vacancy sign at the park entrance signals availability—arriving early is your best bet.
- Be flexible. If you’re able to camp on weekdays, you’ll have more luck securing a campsite.

The best times to visit Tumalo State Park are spring (May and June) and early autumn (September and October), when temperatures are warm but not unbearably hot and kids are still in school. The park is open year-round, although some campsite loops and the group camping areas close from late autumn through the middle of spring. The flush toilets and campsite water spigots also close during winter.
