About
Thousand Trails
Central Oregon is where the east face of the Cascade Range meets the high desert, among a landscape of towering volcanoes, sprawling forests, and vast lava fields. The area is considered an outdoor recreation mecca for its year-round opportunities to stay and play. A good place to begin is the High Desert Museum, which provides information and interpretive displays about the diverse landscape and wildlife found in the area. Nearby attractions include the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, Lava River Cave, and Paulina Lake. Central to the area is the town of Bend, which has become notable for its assortment of craft breweries, as well as its flavorful bistros, art galleries, and local arts and crafts shops. A popular summer activity is floating down the Deschutes River, which flows right through the middle of town. The Bend–Sunriver RV Campground is situated alongside the Little Deschutes River, and located approximately 20 miles south of Bend. Visitors have access to more than 300 shady, wooded RV and tent campsites, all equipped with picnic tables and fire rings; many sites are ADA accessible. Back-in RV sites can accommodate vehicles/trailers up to 40 feet. A limited number of sites have electrical hookups, and a dump station is available onsite. The resort also features a selection of cottages, cabins and yurts. Campground amenities include water faucets, restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, Wifi service, a small store and a restaurant. Pets are welcome, and the resort features a dog park. Campsites are $34–$57/night; other accommodations are $84–$169/night; reservations available. There’s plenty to inside the campground as there is outside. Onsite activities include picnic areas, a kids’ playground, game room, sports courts, mini golf, disc golf, and hiking and biking trails. There’s also a large, outdoor pool, spa, and hot tub. Fishing for salmon, whitefish, and rainbow trout can be enjoyed on the river nearby. Outside of the campground, the activity options are practically endless. Summer offers access to 100s of miles of hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding trails in the Deschutes National Forest and Three Sisters Wilderness. There’s also rock climbing at Smith Rock State Park, sunning, swimming, floating, paddling, rafting and fishing on the Deschutes and Metolius Rivers, and bird and wildlife watching in several locations. Winter offers skiing and snowboarding on Mount Bachelor, in addition to cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and more on local trails.

Clean, down to earth
Great place to camp and friendly staff
This campground is fantastic - but no sewer
The only reason I did not give this park 5 stars is the lack of sewer. But everything else in the property was top notch. The sites are very large, the power is good, albeit slightly low voltage (117v). Water quality and pressure is good and we had 30m dl speeds on both att and Verizon.
The sites are heavily treed (pines) with exceptional spacing between. The had a tree service on site taking out the dead trees and obtrusive branches while we were there. Very well kept.
The bath houses are all clean, and at least one we surveyed appears to be freshly updated. There is a large hall, a well stocked store with beer and firewood and all the necessities .
They have 6 brand new pickleball courts as well as all the other normal amenities. The pools (2) we not open when we arrived but look to be at least adequate.
We stayed here in a motorhome and found it to be scenic, close to many attractions and shopping, and as very pleasant stay. We would absolutely come here again.
Wonderful spacious campgrounds
Stayed here about a week and a half , friendly people, big campground, pool was out of service but it is February so it was too cold to go swimming anyway. Loved the place
SunRiver Thousand Trails
Nice large spaces , tall trees, level,lots of bunnies and a doe and 2 grown fauns came through our site today. Quiet. No sewers. Pool closed. Friendly staff.
Beautiful location
Beautiful location with good sized camping spots for travel trailers and RVs. Almost all spots are wooded so shade is plentiful for hot Summer afternoons. Safe for bike rides in park with 5mph posted. Great location for easy access to Sunriver and Bend. Paulina Lake and East Lake are within a 30 minute drive for kayaking, fishing and hiking.
Electric (30 amp) and water at all spots. No sewer hookups. Internet works fairly well. Good cell phone reception for Verizon and ATT.
Facilities are decent, but need some care. Neither the pool nor laundry were available and no work is active to open either. Staff are friendly but management seems to be focused elsewhere.
Great location
The only negative is the mosquitoes but it’s that time of the year Dumping stations but no waste hookup at the site
Nice and spacious
The sites are very spacious and the staff is all friendly. I only took away a star since the pool area is still closed.
Nice sites
The individual sites are pretty spacious and have a decent amount of trees. The pools were under construction so the kiddos were disappointed. The women’s shower closest to the F section was out of order as well as several of the washers and dryers. Bring quarters if you plan to wash laundry because they don’t take debit cards and there isn’t a change machine. Overall we enjoyed our 6-day stay.

Good all year around
We made last minute plans and booked a spot. Booking was easy. Spots are not assigned. Tuff to find spots in the dark. Staff was easy to work with. Spot had a small amount of left over trash.
My favorite
This is the largest Thousand Trails campground in the country. I love this place because you have so much room, the trees are everywhere, it feels like you’re camping in the forest but you have hook ups and amenities. The showers are great the access to the river is wonderful the people are amazing and as I said, it’s my favorite!
Beautiful Scenery, Rude Staff
The campground itself was very pretty, in a nicely wooded area with a nice stream/river running through the grounds, and cute “wild” bunnies.
There was a decent play structure for our toddler, and plenty of places to walk and explore.
However, my multiple experiences with the one staff member I encountered left me disappointed that we chose this campground.
Not only was this the most expensive place we stayed during our weeklong excursion it had THE WORST customer service & the amenities weren’t that great either. (Compared to the other campsites we stayed at.)
The older man working at the front reception should find himself another job because he acted as if I was bothering him when I came into the office, and talked to me like I was stupid & should already know the answers to the simple questions I had.
Extremely disappointed.
Good amenities/ poor service
This place is excellent when it comes to amenities. There is a lot to do and plenty of clean bathrooms and sites. During covid most of the things were closed to use. Like pool, indoor building, breakfast, and other. But still clean campground. The people in the office are rude and short. Been here multiple times. Same experience. But good location.
Aging and dusty
I stayed here for 5 nights. It is a Thousand Trails campground. They offered to apply the cost of my stay toward a membership which was a good deal but I declined. The campground nicely wooded, seemed quiet, slight distant road noise. Bathrooms are basic, old, clean. Roads are gravel, dry as a bone and very dusty. Campsite was level without using any blocks. Electricity, 30 amp, was fine and water pressure good. They had a very nice pool and clubhouse area, apparently defunct and “under repairs” for ages with no signs of active work. Air quality was horrible due to wildfires such that I left before my reservation ended. The dump stations are very tight for space and located in odd areas such that I would have had to meander through the dust and squeeze into the space. Water supply was in the center between the two stations so not ideal. Admittedly, if not for the horrible air quality and fire ban I probably would have noticed the rough edges less.
Decent Thousand Trails
Busy campground but the sites at least have some trees around them. Great location. Like all Thousand Trails could be better if they would invest a little in upkeep. Decent cell signal (T-Mobile 5G). No brainer if you are a Thousand Trails member. Otherwise there may be other options in the area less resortish.
Thanksgiving snow
My husband and I stayed here while I was pregnant as our first rv camping adventure. It was an unforgettable Thanksgiving experience. Beautiful landscape, quiet and peaceful, trees everywhere, clean and sanitary restrooms with hot water and heaters, and a wonderful staff.
Friendly welcome
I’m a long time Thousand Trails member and can recall when TT campgrounds were much better maintained. They are generally now under funded and under staffed but the staff here are doing the best with what they have and added to their burden is Covid. The roads and sites are gravel and generally level, not very private. The sites have water and electricity, the bathrooms are clean & showers have a good supply of hot water. The laundry is maintained and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Wooded sites, nice amenities
Stopped here on the way through Oregon. Campground is fairly extensive and has nice wooded sites. Onsite staff very friendly and helpful.
My only complaint is that it’s very difficult to reach someone via phone to make reservation changes (one time, I had to hold for 59 min). Highly recommend signing up for an account, which allows you to make changes without having to reach their call center
Great spot! Wonderful views
Great views of the mountains in sisters and mt bachelor. We got a tent spot by the river and it was awesome.
Crappy in many ways
This is what Thousand Trails has become. Lots of permanent residence with junkie sites. Trash in the fire pit. Run down facilities. Lots of dust. At least this campground Has a little more space between sites compared to other Thousand Trails. The other good thing is that you are fairly close to Sunriver and about 20-30 minutes to Bend. We wouldn’t stay here again, but hey, it was free since our dealer gave us the Thousand Trails Membership.
It was expensive
It was just two of us in a tent. We were put in a open lot (like a field). No trees. The nearest bathroom wasn’t even enclosed, so it was like an large outhouse. I paid way too much. I just checked the website and it’s $46 for a tent site! Man, I am Cheap!
Bend Sunriver Thousand Trails Was Excellent
We stayed two nights, August 15 through August 17, 2019, in campsite I-9, the overnight cost was$0.00 due to our Thousand Trails membership( our site had electrical and water service). The site was level, only needed 2 inch lift to level left side.
The campground is at an elevation of 4150 ft. Access to the campground was right off S. Century Drive, about 3 miles from hwy 97. Our 28 ft travel trailer easily fit with room to spare in our site. Once we enter the campground, the pavement turns to hard packed gravel as we looped around once to find a campsite. Weather was sunny upper 80's, the nights low 40's. This is a very quite campground, there was no noise from main road entering the campground.
Activities we enjoyed at the campground to keep busy was frisbee golf, mini-golf, a nice swimming pool and restroom with showers within a few minutes of our site.
My wife and I enjoyed the campground, we will stay again next time we are in the area. We stayed two nights as we traveled toward Crater Lake, Oregon.

LOVED it!
We had a wonderful stay! It was the first time we've stayed at a Thousand Trails resort and I must say, they have set the BAR! The scenery was incredible, the amenities were by far amazing, and the staff was more than kind. We took advantage of their electrical and water hookups for our RV, the onsite 24 hour laundry facilities, and the lodge with wifi access so I could attend to some of my freelance work. Other amenities included a swimming pool, mini golf course, tennis courts, horseshoe rings, and more! I would highly recommend this resort!
Not Bad
I know this is an RV resort, but tent camping wasn’t like I expected. If you are tent camping you are relegated to the “tent area” which is ok, near the bathrooms so that’s a plus, but also just an open area you share with all other tent campers. They do have some ok amenities, like the pool and activities, so that may make up for the lack of privacy for some. Everything is fairly clean, and well kept up. All together not a bad spot, but I think next time we will find a campground more friendly to tent campers.
Fun spot for kids!
My kids are helping us out with reviews for parks. Kids loved Sunriver-Bend Thousand Trails because there is bunnies, bullfrogs, mini-golf, a great little river to float on or swim in, ladderball, bingo, movies outside, and some pretty great pools!
We will definitely be coming back here!
Family Fun
They have a nice blend of family activities but also plenty of quiet time. All the amenities make it a great place to stay for a few days.
