Even though this state park is extremely booked, we drove up to see if anything was available. Someone had just canceled right before we got there, so we got a spot for the night, full hook up $36. The camp host and rangers are so friendly and helpful. Shower facility and restrooms super clean. You can’t beat the landscape , so peaceful and the cedar trees smell so good. I can see why this books up early all summer.

We stayed in a full hookup area, though there are small sites without amenities. $45 nightly + $8 transaction fee, so it's not cheap but definitely well-kept. They had recycling areas which was fantastic, and the folks that worked there were cleaning up sites within minutes of others leaving. Rangers were driving around regularly and it had a good family vibe.
There are some short hikes to the Deschutes River and then a longer hike along the river to Rileys Ranch that was worth doing at least once. The river is quite pretty.
You're right next to Bend, so you have a great amount of opportunities for shopping and dining as well. For the location, this is a pretty good deal.

We got back a little later from exploring so that really limited us! Otherwise it has all the hot water you could need and plenty of clean space to get clean. Flat sites. About 4-6mbps t-mobile download for meetings.

This campground is EXTREMELY clean! Earl the campground host was super friendly. Our site was level with easy access.
We traveled there 2/28/22 and even though it’s still “winter”, the grounds were about half full. Even with that, it was very quiet.
Restrooms were very clean and heated, with outlets.

Great campground for both tents and trailers. We stayed in the tent only section of the campground, the A Loop, with some of the sites backing up to the Deschutes River. There are a few sites that have private trails down to the river with grassy spots to hang out by the water. We camped in both A092 and A087. Both are large sites with a small trail to the water. There is a small bathroom with flush toilets on this loop. If you walk up to B and C loop you’ll find more toilets, along with showers and a washing station. Across the street from the park is the day use area which has lots of picnic tables and access to the river. It is a fantastic spot to launch inner tubes. Also the trailhead for the Deschutes River trail can be found in this area. There is a cool metal bridge the stretches along the part of river. With the city of Bend and the impressive Tumalo Falls close by, the campground is a great location.

The only disappointment for us in regards to Tumalo, is that at the campground, there are few areas to actually access the river. There is a lovely park across the road with a few access areas. The showers and bathrooms at this park were the best! Good job Oregon State Parks! We wouldn't stay here again only because it's very hard to get reservations.

Being that the sites with hookups were all reserved months in advance, we rented tent sites. To be able to stay 4 days we had to move three times from tent sites 28, 55, and 29. And with a 27' trailer it was a tight fit getting into the sites.
This is a popular state park, so plan ahead if you want to stay here. $21 + $8 Reservation Fee
Due to COVID, camping A Loop was closed.
Pros: setting, spacing between sites, trails, nice camp hosts, and nice showers
Cons: a little road noise, being hard to get reservations due to being popular.

Maybe we’re just lucky, but we’ve always been impressed with Oregon State Parks and this one was clean, quite, comfy and easy to navigate. The only thing of note, is the cell service was minimal. We had no service most of the time, and a couple bars long enough for e-mails and texts to pop through every once in a while..... unfortunately one of those times was around 3 am. Amazing how much light those screens put out when its pitch black in the trailer. At first it was an annoyance, but pretty quickly was appreciated for providing a weekend unplugged.
