The last couple of years, they have really stepped up their game in restoring the campground. The grass is turning green again and they have really tried to clean up the trees and overgrowth. The campground offers nice bathrooms, with showers for campers to use. During fire season, you often will see fire crews using the facilities to clean themselves up and take a breather before they return to the fire lines. Many sites in the campground offer shade, while others are wide open for those that love soaking in the sunshine. This is a boater’s paradise!
Really fantastic campground and park surrounded by natural beauty. The Bend to Madras section of the east side high desert is my favorite all along 97 Oregon through Washington. Plenty to see and do. Fishing boating camping and good restaurants in Redmond and Bend. Definitely beats Washington‘s high desert campground for sure!
This place is excellent! Quiet (during off season), I hear it gets busy during summer months. Plenty of room between spaces, power (30 and 50 amp) and water, with dump station at exit. Clean hot showers free to campers ($2 for guests). Phone signal very minimal due to being slightly in the canyon, but park does have wifi. We'll be back, haven't been disappointed by an Oregon state park yet.
The campgrounds include warm showers, water spouts, and sink. Laundry facilities are listed on the map however it's not available to campers. We're not sure why it's advertised as an amenity. Other than that, it's a very nice campsite.
We love camping at Crooked River Campground and have an alarm set 6 months early to book our spots. The restrooms are clean and the shower rooms have wet and dry space and hot water. They work hard to keep the park green and the park hosts and Rangers work to make it that way. Sprinkler systems are popping on as soon as guest leave. We normally camp here a week at a time. We like boating and going down to the water, the parking lot at the front of the camp make it easy to have extra toy haulers, boats, trailers ti hey your things to camp, but also keep space in your camp for camping. We set up space in the lake area each afternoon and have a great spot to play in the water and go boating, skiing, tubing, etc.
