Tent Camping near Bend, Oregon

Crescent RV Park

10 Tent Sites

Crescent RV Park in Crescent, Oregon, offers full-hookup RV sites and 10 tent sites operating year-round at the eastern base of the Cascade Range, with a big-rig-friendly layout, laundry, showers, and WiFi. The year-round operation is the distinguishing fact here — winter visitors get full infrastructure when the region's ski and snowmobile season is at its peak. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric, with a big-rig-friendly layout for larger coaches, and 10 tent sites cover simpler camping. A dump station, restrooms, hot showers, and coin-operated laundry run year-round, and WiFi reaches the park. The Crescent commercial corridor is within walking distance — Ken's Sporting Goods, a gas station, a convenience store, restaurants, and a US Forest Service station — which removes the provisioning drive that most rural campgrounds require. Pets are welcome. On-site facilities are practical rather than recreational: the dump station, laundry, showers, and restrooms are what a year-round park in this climate needs, and the big-rig-friendly layout means long coaches can get in and out in winter conditions. National forest ATV trails start a quarter mile east of the park, which puts off-road riding within walking distance of your site. Fishing, boating, hiking, biking, and stargazing all run from the immediate area, with skiing nearby in season. Crescent sits in Klamath County where the pumice desert and ponderosa pine of the Oregon high desert meet the Cascades. The Cascade Lakes Scenic Highway is under nine miles out, Crescent Lake is 20 miles, and Crater Lake is 55 — with Waldo and Paulina Lakes and Salt Creek Falls in between. Summer brings lake and hiking traffic; winter brings skiers and snowmobilers to a park that stays open and fully serviced when others in the region close. Both seasons run steady, so reserve ahead either way, and expect the winter months to draw a different crowd entirely — sledders and skiers running the Willamette Pass and Mount Bachelor terrain rather than the summer lake circuit.

Umpqua's Last Resort

15 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 1 Glamping Site, 1 RV Rental + Campsite Package, 2 Vintage RV Rentals

Umpqua's Last Resort in Idleyld Park, Oregon, offers 18 full-hookup back-in RV sites, four cabins, and a glamping site along the North Umpqua River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Super, deluxe, and petite back-in categories size the site to the rig, with kayak rentals, a pavilion, and Umpqua National Forest at the door. Eighteen back-in sites span deluxe, petite, and super categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Sizing by rig class rather than amenity tier is genuinely fair — the petite category right-sizes for vans and small trailers rather than making them pay for space they cannot use. Four cabins, a glamping site, and retro RV rentals round out the lodging. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pavilion handle the practical side. Kayak rentals put you straight on the water for canoeing, kayaking, boating, water sports, and fishing, with hiking running in every direction from the property and offroading nearby. Pets are welcome. The North Umpqua is one of the great rivers of the Pacific Northwest — a fly-fishing-only stretch for summer steelhead that anglers travel across the country for, with water clear enough to sight-fish and a canyon of old-growth Douglas fir framing it. The North Umpqua Trail runs 79 miles alongside, Toketee and Watson Falls are close, and Crater Lake National Park is a reasonable drive east up Highway 138. Summer steelhead season and the Crater Lake window drive the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for July through September.

Oregon Outback RV Park

11 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Oregon Outback RV Park in Lakeview, Oregon, offers 11 RV sites and a tent site on the Oregon Outback Scenic Byway, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Pull-through and no-hookup back-in categories serve a spacious, family-owned property at 4,800 feet with views of Abert Rim. Eleven sites run in pull-through and no-hookup back-in configurations, the serviced sites carrying water and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups, though a dump station is available. A tent site covers simpler camping. Laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. A playground serves families, and the setting does the rest. Abert Rim rises directly from the alkali flat of Lake Abert's western shore — the longest exposed fault escarpment in North America at over 30 miles long and 2,500 feet tall, a geological display that recalibrates your sense of the Great Basin's vertical scale. Fishing, hiking, biking, birding, and hot springs are all accessible from the area, with skiing nearby in season. The elevation delivers crisp, clear air and genuinely dark night skies, which the Outback Byway's distance from any major urban center sustains. Lake County packs more geological and wildlife interest into its landscape than almost anywhere else in Oregon. The park serves the high desert season, with summer travel on the byway the peak and fall bringing clear conditions and quiet. With 11 sites, reserve ahead for summer weekends.

Burns RV Park

52 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites, 1 Yurt, 1 Tipi

Burns RV Park in Oregon offers 52 RV sites, two cabins, eight tent sites, and two tipis and yurts at 4,150 feet in the high desert, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 130 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup categories at both amperages join a 30-amp water-and-electric tier and a double dry camping spot. Fifty-two sites span 30-amp full hookup, 50-amp full hookup, 30/50-amp full hookup, 30-amp water-and-electric, and double dry camping categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 130 feet. One hundred thirty feet is exceptional, and the double dry camping spot gives self-contained rigs a low-cost option. Accessible sites are available. Two cabins, eight tent sites, and two tipis and yurts round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A dog park, tennis, horseshoes, and picnicking fill the grounds, with a creek on the property, wine and beer tasting nearby, and planned activities through the season. Birding is exceptional here. Pets are welcome. Burns sits on US-20 at the eastern edge of the Harney Basin, a vast open landscape unlike anything on the usual Pacific Northwest circuit. Steens Mountain, the Alvord Desert, the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Diamond Craters, the Peter French Round Barn, BLM wild horse corrals, and hot springs are all within reach. Spring migration at Malheur and summer draw the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead.

Sunny Valley Campground

Sunny Valley Campground in Wolf Creek, Oregon, offers large, shaded full-hookup RV sites on a big-rig-friendly property along the I-5 corridor between Medford and Roseburg. An outdoor pool, hot tub, clubhouse, and general store serve both through-travelers and guests basing themselves in the Rogue River country. Full-hookup RV sites accommodate large rigs, with the shade a genuine advantage in southern Oregon summers. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the warm months, with a clubhouse, community fire pit, and playground on the grounds and volleyball and horseshoes besides. Hiking, biking, and swimming run from the area, with planned activities through the season and a national park within reach. The campground sits near the confluence of Grave Creek and the Rogue River, in a stretch of southwestern Oregon defined by rugged canyon terrain, dense mixed conifer forest, and one of the premier wild-and-scenic river systems on the Pacific Coast. That makes it a practical basecamp for the whitewater, hiking, and natural heritage of the greater Grants Pass and Rogue River region, as much as a convenient stop for travelers passing through. The park serves the I-5 corridor year-round, with summer rafting and hiking season driving the heaviest demand alongside cross-state travel. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends, when the Rogue corridor fills with both through-traffic and destination visitors.

Lewis & Clark Campground

94 RV Sites, 9 Tent Sites

Lewis and Clark Campground in North Bonneville, Washington, offers 94 RV sites and nine tent sites in the Columbia River Gorge, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service in both full-hookup and partial categories. Set among established old timber with mountain views, minutes from Beacon Rock and the gorge's waterfall corridor. Ninety-four sites span 30/50-amp full-hookup back-in, 30/20-amp partial back-in, and 30/20-amp partial pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, with fire pits and picnic tables. Check your tier before booking — the partial categories carry water and electric but not sewer at the site, and the dump station covers the rest. Nine tent sites round out the lodging. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Most sites have partial shade from mature trees, with the mix of sun and shade varying by location. Walking trails run the property, with picnicking on the grounds. Boating, a golf course, mountains, rivers, and a state park are all nearby. Pets are welcome. The Columbia River Gorge has been a National Scenic Area since 1986, and this stretch is why — the river cutting through the Cascades in a corridor of waterfalls, basalt cliffs, and old-growth Douglas fir. Beacon Rock and its trail system are close, with Multnomah Falls and the Historic Columbia River Highway a short drive west. Summer is peak in the gorge, with spring waterfall flows and fall color drawing strong shoulder seasons. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Ashland's Creekside Campground

9 RV Sites, 25 Tent Sites

Ashland's Creekside Campground in Oregon offers 9 RV sites and 25 tent sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, open all year. Full-hookup RV sites join a water-only category, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, game room, sports courts, and creek frontage. Nine sites run in full-hookup RV and water-only categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 40 feet. Read the category carefully — the water-only tier carries no electric or sewer and prices accordingly, which gives self-contained rigs a genuine budget option. Note the 40-foot cap before bringing a larger coach. Twenty-five tent sites, some with power and some without, make this substantially a tent property. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a clubhouse, game room, arcade, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, billiards, ping pong, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, dog park, and creek filling the rest. Wine tasting, mountains, a lake, and a national park area are nearby, and the stargazing is good. Ashland is the home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, one of the largest regional theater companies in the country, which runs most of the year and fills the town. The Britt Music and Arts Festival, Rogue River rafting, Mount Ashland's skiing, and the local wineries round out the calendar, with Crater Lake about two hours northeast. Festival season from spring through fall drives demand. Reserve well ahead.

Rock Creek Park & Campground

101 RV Sites, 33 Tent Sites

Rock Creek Park & Campground in Stevenson, Washington, offers 101 RV sites and 33 tent sites in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Full-hookup and dry RV categories serve a county-operated campground in Rock Creek's wooded corridor. One hundred one back-in sites run in 30/50-amp full hookup and dry RV categories, the serviced sites carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Dry sites suit self-contained rigs at a lower rate. Thirty-three tent sites make this notably tent-friendly. Restrooms and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The grounds include a covered picnic shelter, a play structure, and open multi-use fields — the sort of space a county park provides and a commercial campground rarely does. Picnicking and birding run from the wooded creek corridor. Stevenson is the Skamania County seat, on the Washington shore of the Columbia River at 710 SW Rock Creek Drive. The Columbia River Gorge is one of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular and most accessible landscapes, and the campground sits inside it — waterfalls, hiking trails, wind sports, and the geological scenery of the Gorge are all immediately available. Summer is peak in the Gorge, with windsurfing and hiking season overlapping. Reserve ahead for July and August weekends, and note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig.

Rates by site category are on the booking page. Summer on the Oregon Coast books out early.

The campground sits directly on the south flank of Mount St. Helens — the active stratovolcano that reshaped southwest Washington on May 18, 1980, and has since become one of the most actively studied volcanic environments in the world. The Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, the Ape Cave lava tube, and the Lewis River system's fishing and water recreation are all immediately accessible. Summer is peak for monument access and the Lewis River. Reserve ahead for July and August weekends.

Camp Kalama RV Park

82 RV Sites, 26 Tent Sites

Camp Kalama RV Park in Kalama, WA, offers 82 RV sites and 26 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service. Sites come in three categories — full-hookup back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric, standard back-ins, and camper-only back-ins. Maximum rig length isn't published, so call with your dimensions before booking a long coach. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, on-site dining, a bar, and portable toilets in the outer areas cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. A boat ramp, walking trails, and river frontage put guests on the water for salmon, steelhead, and trout — anglers fish right off the riverbank or by boat — with hiking, boating, and wine tasting nearby.

Trailer Lane Campground

14 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Trailer Lane Campground in Weed, California, offers 14 full-hookup RV sites and a tent site in the shadow of Mount Shasta, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 65 feet. Back-in, pull-through, and dedicated van camping sites sit directly off I-5 in Siskiyou County, with a general store and laundry on site. Fourteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 65 feet, with picnic tables. Dedicated van camping sites serve the growing number of guests traveling in converted vans rather than trailers. A general store handles supply needs after long highway stretches, coin-operated laundry serves extended stays, and WiFi reaches the sites. Arrival is between 2:00pm and 6:00pm. On-site facilities are practical rather than recreational — restrooms, laundry, the store, and a dog park. The campground's position directly on the I-5 corridor makes access and departure straightforward for drivers pulling large rigs through mountain terrain, which is the main reason travelers choose it. Pets are welcome. Weed sits where the Shasta Valley's wide grasslands meet the forested slopes of the Cascade Range, at the foot of Mount Shasta — one of the most visually commanding volcanic peaks in North America. The campground serves both through-travelers using I-5 between the Bay Area and Oregon and guests basing themselves to explore the volcanic landscape of interior Northern California. The campground operates through the Siskiyou County season. Summer brings the heaviest I-5 traffic and the best conditions for exploring the Shasta area. With 14 sites, reserve ahead for summer weekends rather than arriving on spec.
