Interactive site map
Choose your exact site — not just a site type
Every pin is a real site with its hookups and maximum rig length. Tell us how long your rig is and we’ll dim the sites you can’t fit — a 38-footer has all 24 pull-throughs to choose from, while the Sage Loop back-ins top out at 32 feet.

Tap a pin for hookups and max rig length — dimmed pins are too short for your rig.

Amenities
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
Shower house
Hot showers and flush toilets between the Sage Loop and the river, open 6 am – 10 pm. Kept clean twice daily by the Marek family.
Camp store
Ice, firewood, propane, coffee and fresh pastries every morning. Campfire kits and forgotten marshmallows, 8 am – 8 pm.
Dump station & potable fill
Free for registered guests at the entrance loop, with a fresh-water fill and two wash-down hoses. No reservation needed.
River access & swim hole
A gravel path from every loop drops you at the basalt swim hole — wading depth for kids, deep enough to float by August.
Firewood delivered
Order a bundle by 4 pm and it arrives at your site before dusk. Oregon law: no outside firewood, so skip the truckbed stash.
Wi-Fi at the store & pavilion
Strong enough for a check-in call or a weather lookup. Cell service is thin on the River Loop — that is rather the point.
Dogs welcome
Well-behaved dogs on a 6-foot leash at every site, with waste stations along all four loops. Two dogs max per site.
Dark-sky nights
No overhead lighting on Meadow Walk or the River Loop. In August you can watch the Perseids from your own camp chair.

Rules & quiet hours
Keep the Flats peaceful
Sixty-four sites share one riverbank. These few rules are why guests come back — nine out of ten book the following season before they’ve even packed up.
Quiet hours: 10 pm – 7 am
Generators off, music off, conversations down to campfire volume. The osprey, the elk and your neighbors will thank you.
- Check-in 1:00 pm, check-out 11:00 am. Late arrivals: call ahead and we’ll leave your site map in the envelope on the office door.
- Quiet hours are 10:00 pm – 7:00 am — no generators, no amplified music, and vehicles stay parked until morning.
- Six guests and two vehicles maximum per site. Extra vehicles park at the entrance lot ($5/night).
- Fires only in provided rings, and only when Deschutes County burn rules allow. We’ll tell you at check-in.
- No outside firewood — Oregon bans moving firewood to stop invasive pests. Bundles at the store are cut locally.
- Dogs on a 6-foot leash, two per site, never left tied at an empty site.
- No glass containers at the river access or swim hole.
- Trash goes in the bear-proof dumpsters at each loop, or better: pack it out.
- Drones may not launch from or over riverfront sites — the osprey pair on the bluff has seniority.

Driving from Bend
- 1 From downtown Bend, head west on US-20 toward Sisters for 9.2 miles.
- 2 At milepost 118, turn right onto Tumalo Market Road — the gas station on the corner is your last fuel for 30 miles.
- 3 Drive 3.1 miles, then turn left onto Deschutes River Road at the brown campground sign.
- 4 Follow the river road 2.2 miles. Our entrance is on the right: a red cinder drive past a cattle guard. Check in at the office.
GPS heads-up: phone maps sometimes route you over Awbrey Butte to save four minutes. Don’t — that road crosses private land and dead-ends at a locked gate. Tumalo Market Road is the way.
Flying in
Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) is 25 minutes north via US-97 and US-20. Several Bend outfitters rent RVs and camping gear; we’re happy to recommend one when you call.
Big rigs
River Loop pull-throughs take rigs up to 45 feet with toads attached. Deschutes River Road is paved to our gate; watch for the cattle guard and a sharp right at the cinder drive.
