4 nights at Upriver Paradise -"Private Retreat"

This place is incredible!! Clean, spacious, safe, and everything you need to enjoy the outdoors with comfort. Steve was a great host and we will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Upriver Paradise -"Private Retreat"

Everything was great!!! The directions to the location were easy to navigate. The location was amazing taken care of so beautifully!!! Steve did a wonderful job at decorating it with little knick knacks and trinkets to make you feel at home, but the site still had an outdoor camping vibe!! The river roared and sounded beautiful at night. The chairs on the river bank were the best part, to just sit out there and relax. It was cold but I bet in the summer it will be a nice spot to sit and look at the stars and catch the water glistening off the moonlight. Can't wait to go back!!

Weekend Trip to The Camp Campground

Clean facilities and very accessible location 🩶 Rode our bikes 🚴🏽 into town. Quiet spot s as well. Definitely going to come back and use the camp as a staple place to stay anytime we are in bend.

Kathy was a very kind and helpful host. The driveway was in a quiet neighborhood, but convenient to town. Would stay again!

1 night at Ponderosa Pine Sanctuary

Good quiet dark land in front of a main house and a cottage on the side.

1 night at Ponderosa Pine Sanctuary

This is a review for spot in front of the house. Work on the coop house moved me. The spot was easy to get to, and Andrew gave a great tip on leveling the van. Easy visit, thanks.

3 nights at Upriver Paradise -"Private Retreat"

This site was amazing and very peaceful. Steve was a fabulous host and made sure everything was in order. The site was huge, had two hookups, multiple chairs, fire pits, and tables. It really had anything you need. Aside from big trucks going by on the road you couldn’t hear any noise over the river as you are set back. I definitely plan on staying here again.

4 nights at Upriver Paradise -"Private Retreat"

What a cool and unique spot! Steve was awesome helping us get our 40' 5th wheel in place. It was tight, but we made it! We unfortunately had to leave after 1 night but it was a gorgeous spot. Will definitely be back!

3 nights at Upriver Paradise -"Private Retreat"

What an amazing spot. You could easily fit a few campers in here. We were solo just cause we like it like that. The camp is immaculate, the host Steve was amazing. You do get a little road noise due to the proximity of Hwy 126, but it's well worth it.

2 nights at The Camp Campground

The site was clean and easy to back my 24' trailer into. The location in convenient to most all things Bend. Bathroom was clean, dog park was clean, it is a nice place to camp in downtown (nearly) Bend.

4 nights at Upriver Paradise -"Private Retreat"

Absolute perfection. This place is one very large single campsite with 2 seperate hookups for a family or small group. It is in trees just feet away from the Mckenzie River. It has been immaculately cared for and is a fabulous lay out and design. The host was thoughtful about everything including putting a bamboo wall around the porta potty. It is so peaceful with the sound of the river. We were there 4.5 days and never saw another person. This is now in our list of places to return. And I can not do it justice with words.

1 night at Ponderosa Pine Sanctuary

We made a last minute reservation. Everything was great and a potential problem was handled well by Andrew. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to The Camp Campground

Awesome city camping! It's so close to everything in Bend and bathrooms are super clean. Loved the convenience, safety, and cleanliness.

Weekend Trip to The Camp Campground

They clearly put some love into this place. Everything is dialed, clean and stylish. The bathrooms, with showers, were sure a treat. Common area with firepit, tables, and grills. The location is amazing as well.

2 nights at Upriver Paradise -"Private Retreat"

This was a great get away right off the McKenzie River. Beautiful camp site and has great amenities. The host was super friendly. We will definitely be staying again. Thanks for having us!!

RV camping with full hookups in Wickiup Reservoir guide

Overview

Not far from the town of La Pine in the Central Oregon high desert, Wickiup Reservoir is a well-known spot for cooling off in the oftentimes sweltering summer months. Both non-motorized and motorized boats are allowed here, and there are multiple boat launches, with two at the two lakeside campgrounds and a third on the reservoir’s eastern banks. Wickiup Reservoir is also a popular spot for both birdwatching and fishing, particularly if you're hoping to catch a large brown trout. While many people fish directly from their boats, shore fishing is an option earlier in the season.

Notable campgrounds

Best for groups: Gull Point Campground has two group campsites for up to 30 people.
Best for anglers: Reservoir Campground offers direct access to the water.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Reservations for the can be made directly through the Forest Service, either online using recreation.gov or over the phone. Campsites open up for reservation six months in advance, at 6 am.
The peak season runs from the end of May until the end of September. Outside of that time, campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you can’t find a spot at Wickiup, note that there are still tons of places to camp in the area, both in nearby state parks, on BLM land, and at privately run Hipcamps.

When to go

The best time to visit Wickiup Reservoir is in late spring or early autumn, when the weather is warm and dry and the crowds are fewer. July and August are also great months if you like warm weather, but the reservoir and area campgrounds can get very busy with summer vacationers. Accessing the area during the cold winter months can be challenging due to heavy snowfall.

Know before you go

The easiest place to pick up groceries and other supplies is the town of La Pine, about a half-hour drive from the reservoir.
Do not enter the water during cyanobacteria (harmful algae) blooms. The forest service puts out alerts about blooms, but it's always a good idea to do a visual check just in case. Water that looks foamy or thick and is a green, blue, or brownish-read color should be avoided.
Forest fires are an issue in this part of the forest, and bans on fires and even some types of cooking devices are not uncommon. Check before igniting anything.
