Ive been on the road full time for about 3 years and have never ran into any issues with my mice (luckily) until this spot. Was away from the rig one day running errands and then lots of little footprints appeared in the dirt/sand. Site itself, minus the mice, is just okay, close proximity to Bend & Sisters and being free are really the only perk.

Really one of the only viable camping options around the area of bend, can’t get close to the city without MORE problems. Out here lots of trash, and lots of campers, quite a busy area. Definitely open spots, good cell service.

We spent 5 nights here. It’s a great location with easy access to Sisters, Bend, and Redmond. Sites were big and the one we chose was open enough for our solar. Both Verizon and T-Mobile were very good. I could work work with no issue and stream TV. We dumped and filled at the campground closer to Sisters. Sign said $10 but we only got charged $5. Access is easy and there are a number of entrances off Harrington Loop Road with plenty of site choices. Rigs from class A down to tent campers.

Highly recommend and it’s close to sisters and 40min from Smith Rock State Park.

Agree with the previous reviewer that the place is very crowded compared to other boondocking places. We stayed here a week and ended up with multiple neighbors ~75 ft from us during the stay. There is trash left around, and a few people who we think live here full time based on their set ups. Not the worst place we have stayed and not the best. It was free, flat, close to town and had plenty of areas for any size trailer to fit. We had no issues finding a spot for our 44ft fifth wheel even with crowds. You can hear some road noise but we didn't think it was too bad.
64 up/25 down on Verizon. 95 up/18 down on ATT. Not a starlink friendly location.

Verizon speeds were great and were enough to hit our plan cap of 50Mbps download and 31 upload. TMobile speeds were terrible at 2.5/1. ATT was 98/1. Verizon/TMobile were with a roof mounted Pepwave antenna and ATT with a smartphone.
We found a spot in a clearing at 44.24970, -121.50257 that worked well for solar. The access road was in decent shape with some rutting, but nothing outrageous. No snow. It was muddy when we got there. We found a reasonably level spot. Pretty typical new growth pine/spruce forest.
Unfortunately, there was a lot of trash both new and old. Someone even left their mail (a local). We cleaned up what we could, but there was a dump location with hundreds of old cans and other scrap metal that we couldn't deal with. There was also a good amount of road noise.
The side road we went down had no one nearby, but the rest of the area was fairly crowded on a Monday evening compared to most boondocking areas. Being only 10 minutes from town will do that.

Tons of sites to choose from, most of which have shade. When I first arrived I was only one of a few other campers. Toward the end of my stay it got busier. Very close to sisters, a super cool little town. Close to Peterson Ridge trail system, great mountain biking and some stunning views.
The only cons to note here are there is a bit of road noise, dependent on where you park. Also, contrary to previous reviews my cell signal with T-Mobile wasn’t great.

I have US cellular and have 4g with 4 bars.

This area was amazing. Super close to a dump site in sisters and laundry facility. Clean area. Nice trails. This area can accommodate any size rig or setup.
Con- someone stole my remote control airplane. He must have needed more than I.... he must have had a small wiener.
