Experience Heaven

11 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents157 acres · La Pine, OR

8 campsites and 2 original Mongolian Gers. The season for the camp sites is from June 1st to October 15 and the Gers are all 12 months. Pets allowed, toilets on site, campfires permitted when burn ban is not in place. This being the 4th year, things have gotten a little out of hand. So let's regergitate some things and make sure everyone understands how it is. If you aren't capable of practicing the 5 P's, then you need to book somewhere else. Proper Preperation Prevents Poor Performance. If you can't get here and have your camp set up by 8:00PM, showing respect to the other Hipcampers that are already set up and enjoying the PEACE AND QUIET, then you need to book somewhere else or don't come until the following morning. No driving down to the campsites/the lake after 8::00PM. Period. Communicate with me. If you leave Portland at 5:00 PM with the intention of spending the night in Heaven then you need to alter your plans. No more than 4 adults at each campsite. I am almost to the point of saying no BIG DOGS. If you got big dogs, my suggestion is you go book someplace else. Talk to me. It is a given they willl need to be on a tethered throughout your time in Heaven. Take them for walks along the lake, not having them run thru everyone elses camp sites. No Yappers, no barking dogs, no yippers, no pain in the butts. Why would you drive by 46 grocery stores and forget to bring ice? No music. I have changed quiet time to 9:00 PM. You need to listen to music I suggest you start a band or become a DJ. What I want folks to get out of being here, whether they are camping or staying in the Gers is just to “take a break”. Relax, appreciate, assess and just listen. I hope what you hear is the sound of life and of course all the Angels that make up this special piece of Heaven. The chipmunks, the squirrels, all the different birds, the eagles, the osprey, the fish jumping, the deer roaming, the timber martins running thru the trees, the snowshoe rabbits and the occasional black bear. Then there is the silence. The best part of “Heaven”. So, while you are here, take a deep breath, close your eyes at the appropriate moment and ask yourself, am I on the right path? Is what I am doing fulfilling me? Am I showing my family and friends how much I love them? Do I really need all that crap I got? Where do I go from here? My intention was for each one you to not just go camping, or to stay in a Mongolian Ger but to have an “Experience” that just might lead you to a more fulfilling and happier life.

We have two indoor/outdoor cats, and a McNab named Belle. We do live on a busy street, so there is street noise if you are looking for super quiet, this is not the place for you.

The best camping near LaPine State Park guide

Overview

About

Straddling the banks of the Upper Deschutes and Fall rivers, LaPine State Park offers easy access to outdoor recreation no matter the season. It's popular for hiking, fishing, and floating in the summertime, while winter activities include snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. The park is home to the largest ponderosa pine in Oregon, which measures around 162 feet in height and has a circumference of 326 inches. The pet-friendly LaPine Campground is well equipped with a mix of full hookup sites, electrical sites with water, and log cabins, some with deluxe features such as TVs and microwaves.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Cabins and campsites are released for reservation at 6am daily, six months in advance, and are available for reservation up to one day in advance. Reservations can be made online using the Oregon State Parks reservation system or over the phone.
Same-day reservations are sometimes available on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive early in the morning for the best chances of securing a spot.
Campsites in the North and Middle Loops are closed from October through April. All but eight of the South Loop Campsites are available only on a first-come, first-served basis during that time.

When to go

LaPine State Park is open for camping and day use throughout the year, and it's at its most popular between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend. Because of its location in the high desert, temperatures can get quite hot at the peak of summer and dip dramatically during wintertime, but the area is generally dryer than elsewhere in Oregon. If you want to take advantage of pleasant weather without the summer vacation crowds, consider visiting in May, September, or October.

Know before you go

Bans on open flames and fire pits are common at the park, particularly during the summer months, when the risk of forest fires is at its highest. During periods of extreme risk, bans on propane cooking stoves are also sometimes put into place.
The closest spot to pick up supplies and groceries is the town of La Pine; the main drag where most shops are located is about 10 minutes away by car.
Four of the campsites at the park and six of the cabins are ADA accessible. The campground also features accessible showers and flush toilets.
