Once an award winning bed and breakfast, our home came to us last year during the pandemic, while we were living overseas but wanting to return to our roots. We took over as Airbnb hosts to the second home on the property, but were left scratching our heads with what to do in the back field. Should we become farmers? Should we rescue animals? Should we put a few horses out there? We couldn’t decide and are still brainstorming, but we know that we enjoy hosting. We also set up a camp spot for our friends and family with RV’s to come visit, then we considered opening up the space to anyone who simply wants to enjoy Central Oregon. The history of this place is rich, from the lava flows and formation on the land, to the Oregon trail and native tribes still living nearby. The locals are kind, slow-paced folks who will give you the shirt off their backs. We think the best local coffee, beer, and fresh produce is right here. We love the artisans and crafts produced from this area, and we can all still escape to wilderness when we need to take a break and connect to nature. We fell in love with Oregon two decades ago and we think it’s one of the best places on earth. Where else can you go from mountain and forest to desert oasis within a 15 minute drive?! This are offers something for everyone, even if it’s just to relax and breath deeply. After this last year, we all deserve to break away, get some fresh air, and truly unwind. We hope to offer such a place for loved ones to gather, to wonder and wander, and enjoy the Great Outdoors!

Quiet Setting near Town
Ruth and Bobby were great hosts on a very clean and quiet property that served as a great base camp for Bend activities. The stargazing at night was spectacular and the variety of nearby farm animals was an added treat!

Great views/Friendly hosts
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Camp Cricketwood.. the hosts were fantastic and very easy to communicate with. They also shared “locals” tips for things to see and do. The camp location offers beautiful views and a quiet setting. The night sky’s are spectacular and with the camp being just a couple of minutes out of town, we didn’t have the city light pollution to interrupt the ambiance. We will stay here again!

We had a great stay at Camp Cricketwood. Camping is in an open area behind the house. Far enough from the house for privacy and quiet. Just a 10 minute drive from central Bend. Ruth and her family could not have been nicer! They clearly enjoy HipCamp guests and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable during the unusually hot weather. Hosts like Ruth and family are what make HipCamp great!
