Loved the scent of pine in the air and the seclusion to enjoy a romantic picnic. Didn't like that the fee was $5.00 since we only stayed an hour, as we were taking a break until we hit our destination. More

This was my husband and I's first yurt camping experience and we loved it! It was very low key being the middle of March, but that was alright. It was so nice to have a warm place to go to once the sun went down. The yurt was very clean and spacious. The park hosts were very friendly and the... More

Tumalo State Park is a beautiful park set along the river. It has a wonderful RV park across the street from the main park. The park has picnic tables, restrooms, bbq and it perfect for family reunions and get togethers. Very nice paths along the river too. More

This is a close trip from Bend. I like to take the kids out with tubes and the big kids can float down a stretch of the river over and over again while I stay at the "beach" with the little ones. Fun rocks to scramble on too. The picnic tables are nice and there is shade available. I love... More

We liked this State Park. It's close to town (Bend) so it's convenient if you want to shop or do anything "urban". But it's also on a really nice spot on the Deschutes River with great hiking, wading, and sunbathing opportunities. The sites are somewhat close together with very little separation. It's in lodgepole pines and junipers, so there are... More

The river is shallow here, good for small children to float, with close supervision by adults. But the water is cold, so be prepared for that. Shallow enough for dogs to play. Picnic tables close to the water. Nice path to walk upstream to the meadow and beyond More
