We just stayed one night, right before the campgrounds closed for the year. The grounds were nicely maintained, and we enjoyed a very peaceful and quiet stay. Some sites are fairly tight, while others had some nice room. The trails here were very enjoyable. Serene surroundings around the river and through the trees. We saw lots of deer, birds, and other critters scrambling about. I'm sure it would've had a slightly different feel during peak season, but we very much enjoyed our night and day of off season. read more

August 26-29, 2025 - La Pine, OR We've stayed at La Pine Campground a few times over the years, and each visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The campground is divided into three loops, each with its own character. The North Loop offers water and electric hookups, with sites that are more widely spaced than the others--something I really appreciate. That extra room makes it feel quieter and more private, and it's probably where we'll book our next stay. The Middle Loop has full hookups, while the South Loop is the busiest, featuring full hookups as well as some cabins. . There are many hiking/cycling trails (dog-friendly), and the Deschutes River runs through the campground. There is a short hike to a waterfall, and a large dog park. Unfortunately, we were a bit restricted in our outdoor activities because of the smoke from the two fires in the area. There was actually ash falling on one of the days. Also, there had been several sightings of a mountain lion in the area, so that added a bit of caution to our activities. Nevertheless, we will definitely come back. read more

Decided to come check this place out after seeing it on the news. I always drive by, but never stop. When I saw the news spotlight on it, I decided to go check it out. It's definitely one of my new favorite parks to go to. Nice trails. swimming area, and camping areas. The restrooms were clean and the shoreline along the river was well kept. I drove through the camp areas and I will be booking a spot this camping season. read more

This was such a great spot! I will be coming back here. There are tons of trails within walking distance of the campsite (we stayed in an rv site) there is also a dog park that we had to ourselves which I always enjoy. My only complaint is I didn't book more days to explore this area more. read more

LaPine State Park - Dog park - Parks Near Me - La Pine, Oregon

A very nice and clean campground about 39 minutes from Bend, Oregon along the DeSchutes river. Full hookups, showers and even ice for sale.

Have a river of fun and sun camping, fishing, sunbathing, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding - or floating leisurely down the river on a tube or paddle boarding! La Pine State Park is so delightfully refreshing cool cool cool fun in the sun. The Deschutes river current flows patiently along turn by by horseshoe bend after horseshoe bend on its way up to Bend about 20 miles away. A fascinating place to play. It's all about the river! Peaceful as the River Flows through this campground and state park alone peaceful as the river flows in the warm sun with a cool breeze I hear only birds singing watching as the river runs with a soothing cadence not another single solitary sound I see swirling pools of water on the river edges while the current cuts an insistent path rippling along around the many many horseshoe bends continuously curving through La Pine so surreal so still so strong tall green grasses are swaying back and forth on the river banks along with tall pine trees swaying with the wind and for every twist and turn on the river why not my mind and soul flow as easy like that river give me that peace of a river while watching on the river bank and many - some fit or fat the young and old, all in between float the river for relaxation and recreation drifting on the rivers steady current with tubes, kayaks and paddle boards for fun in the June sun floating grouping together with friends and family wherever the peaceful river flows wherever the peaceful river goes many feel the pace and peace only the river knows read more

This is our second time staying here and we really enjoy it. The location is great - just 30 minutes south of Bend, with easy access to Sunriver and lots of fun outdoor activities. We stayed in the north loop, and learned that the middle loop is nicer (the road is better paved and the sites have sewer). Unfortunately no playground at this campground for the kids, but we walked the trails and enjoyed playing on old trees and the amphitheater stage. Bathrooms also are nice. We'd stay here again, but next time I think I want to check out the campground at Tumalo State Park. read more

Awesome spot, only minutes from our house. I've mountain biked there the last 3 mornings, and will the next 2. Very easy riding, the Fall River trail is the best of the 3 in my opinion. Numerous other trails, to venture on. Campgrounds look awesome, multiple, multiple spots to get in the rivers. Free day use, lots of parking and a lot of parking lots. Very intrigued after going for the first time. read more

On our tour of Oregon in an RV, we stopped for two nights about 30 minutes outside of Bend, Oregon at La Pine State Park. What a beautiful, desolate, and secluded area in the woods! No Wi-Fi or cable will be found here and there are no laundry facilities. You will find thousands of pine trees, a large river, and deep in the woods a very well-kept La Pine State Park. Bring in all your groceries and supplies because nothing is available inside the park or nearer than 30 minutes away. We stayed in the North loop in site 12. I was very happy with the pull-though site that sits right next to the restrooms and by a horseshoe game area. It has a large open grass field within a few feet too. Site 12 offered a nice central location in the loop and had a small dirt area with a picnic table and fire ring. The paved roads into and around the park are smooth and great for bike riding. The kids had the most fun here playing with other kids, riding bikes, walking on the trails to the river, and playing in the large grassy field. We enjoyed visiting the 500 year old big tree too. It is located towards the entrance of the park down a long gravel road. There is a wide parking lot at the end of the gravel road where you can park and then walk about 1/2 mile to the tree clearly marked in the woods. It has a fence around it but you can get pretty close anyway. The river is large and from the path we took to visit it, didn't look like it was suitable for swimming or wading. The current was going fast and it seemed very deep. I saw others in the RV park with toys for the water so I assume that there are places in the river where accessing the water was calmer and shallower. During our stay we ventured out to Bend and stopped by the Living Desert Museum. I highly recommend this museum to those who have young kids. In Bend we found all the services and stores we needed to get groceries, gas, and propane for our RV. read more

Check out the website on the OR state camp site website and book the site you want for the dates you want. No one will greet you but there is an on-site host who will answer questions. Sites are large with a grill and table. Bathrooms are large with showers. Nice location for this part of OR. read more

La Pine State Park is a beauty in the desert! Combine the heat and lack of rain of the eastern desert with sme lush scenic views along the Deschutes River. It is not our first choice style of camping, we like more remote isolated stuff, but every now and then we need a reservation site and this one fit the bill for a couple nights while on a longer road trip. And it is open year round! We made a late reservation and got site 136 when someone made a cancellation. This site backs up to the main road and sits right at the park entrance but it was surprisingly private for the less than ideal location. We especially loved being able to ride our bikes on trails right from camp! read more

The Oregon State parks are all exceedingly well maintained, and LaPine State Park is no exception. Scores of sites spread out over three large loops, and around 10 cabins too. Just over 20 miles south of Ben, 4 miles off of Route 97, LaPine is everything you hope for. Vast open pine forests, with a scattering of Ponderosas, and the large Deschutes River winding its way from bend to bend alongside and past the park. Wifi is nonexistent, and the cell signal is fairly weak -- so make sure you have booster if you need to get online at all. Otherwise, just head up the road 5 miles to the small town of Sunriver for a good coffee and wifi. There are day trips aplenty too -- Mt. Bachelor and Paulina Peak to name just a few. Easy and stunning. read more

Very clean park , right on the river. The RV dump area is clean. Very safe from what we have experienced.

We booked late so we had two different sites for two nights. The first was #64 in the middle loop, wonderful pull-thru site. Some shade, showers/bathrooms were close by. Interior roads were smooth and easy to navigate. The the site had full hookups with 30/50 amp power. Our second night was supposed to be in the North loop, site 121. Be aware that all sites in the north loop are limited to 20 amp power, which I didn't see when I booked (my error). The site said it had a 55' driveway, but the photo didn't make it clear that it's on a hill. I could not get my 35' motorhome safely level on the site. There are trees and other issues that were not clear when we booked that presented other challenges. It was clear that we could not stay in the site. When we asked for assistance to see if there was another open site we found the host for that loop was gone and the host from the other loop was not helpful. Sort of threw her hands up like 'oh well' not the normal attitude we've had with other volunteer hosts and of course the Park Ranger as with most Oregon Campgrounds was no where to be found. We gave up and left and abandoned our site for the night and left. Be aware that the North loop is very old, small sites, many are not level. This loop is not big rig friendly. read more

Impressive for a state park. Very well maintained grounds and the RV sites are big with both back-in and pull thru sites. They turn off water to the sites Oct 1st but there is a communal water pump and the showers are still hot. The restrooms/showers are very spacious, clean and heated! You can buy woods at the check in kiosk. Stayed in site 31 on the south loop that had direct access via a short trail to the river. read more

My definition of a great park. There are two separate camping areas, both camp areas have nice restrooms and showers. One of the camp loops has an outdoor amphitheater. The main campground has a building that you can rent and use for parties, etc. plus there are lots of different trailheads for hiking, biking, and horse riding. There is pretty much everything you would want in a campground. Also sites for tents and rvs. Also the Deschutes River runs through it, where you can fish. Most of the campsites are very close to the river. I highly recommend this campground! read more

Oregon knows how to put together a park!!! We camped here & enjoyed every aspect of this place. The rv/Camping Area was 5 stars! Roomy, level, shady areas. The toilets & showers were clean. The camping area is well maintained. The park itself offers easy hiking trails & access to the river. An attraction I highly recommend is the High Desert Museum - thought we would be there an hour or so- nope, spent 6 hours there! Make sure to take in the free talks & docent lead tours- A real Jewel!!!! read more

Had a fantastic trip here. We stayed 4 nights. I booked the site online. I found site photos on youtube for every camp site so I could make a good decision. But wow, the site was huge!!!! We could have put another 6 large tents on the site lol. Bathrooms were clean. Camp hosts were super nice. Made sure our wood pile was super large for the price. The ranger drove through several times a day. This place isn't over crowded, so our hikes were quiet. Trails were in good shape. Bugs were not that bad being we were literally beside the river. Highly recommend this state park for camping. read more

Made a day trip to Madras for a family members high school graduation and ended up with a few hours to kill. Headed over to this park and spent some time relaxing in the water. Very clean and spacious. Beautiful central OR scenery. The boat traffic doesn't have much effect on the people swimming and fishing as the waterway is so large there is enough distance to keep them respectively distanced. Highly recommend making a stop here when you can. read more

Our first camping trip trying out our new camper so we stayed close to home. The campground was full (weekend of 10/9/20) but it was so quiet even during the day.
