Crooked River Ranch

WOW! Coming off the plateau and driving down the canyon is the most beautiful site. Perfect golf course! It is so green and manicured I can’t wait to go out. Space is very large, on gravel. This particular space has a weird sewer/water/ele hook up. Sewer on the backside, water and ele on the door side. It works. There is a huge pool here, a snack shack and café. Bathrooms are very clean but need updating bad. They don’t go with the cleanliness of the rest of the park. There are no resident RV/trailers. No satellite.
The view of the Crooked River is awesome. It is below us in yet another canyon. There are hiking trails everywhere

The park is in a very nice location on the crooked creek canyon with a beautiful golf course BUT be aware of the following. No bathrooms and laundry access due to COVID. We were not told this when we registered. The guys in the site next to us urinated outside all weekend. Our sewer connection was uphill and they ask you to keep your black and grey tanks open during your stay which is a no no for black tank...pyramiding anyone. The place generally had a negative vibe with lots of No’s and negative signs all over the park. The free wi-fi was non-existent even with a booster. However there was cell service with both ATT and Verizon.

I would give the park itself 4 stars. Staff are nice, and the park is just fine. But what really stood out for us were the excellent trails around the park. The park is situated on the top of a canyon that plunges down to the "Crooked River" that gives the park its name. Take an easy jaunt on the well-maintained path that runs along the top of the canyon and check out the beautiful views. For more ambitious hikers there is also a path that zigzags all the way down to the river.

I'm confused about the previous review as we found the park to be well organized and friendly. However, it is a small and local driven area so could see where things could get edgy. The RV Park is actually on Hays Rd.

Here's the good, the bad, the ugly...
Sites are on top of each other, way too close. Very dusty but that's the area.
Cute little town site within walking distance has pool, cafe, saloon, local events. There was a 4th of July parade while we were there. Very locally cute.
The canyon the campground backs up to affords some hiking, albeit possibly risky for some less prepared people since there is no information provided. However the sunsets are nice from the camp viewpoint.
The laundry room is very nice.
Bathrooms clean and have showers
Very close to Smith Rock SP and Terrebonne.
