Central Oregon is full of places to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle. Almost every lake is located on public land with easy access for all to enjoy, most have some kind of camp groundbe it on the primitive side with just you and nature or full RV hook ups it can be found.
La Pine State Park offers not just camping but Yurts and small cabins for rent - they have "flushing potties" and showers too. La Pine State Park is located on The Big Deschutes River. One my most viewed photos was taken from this great State Park - the photo to the right is the photo I am most often asked about.
Some people will often ask what a Yurt is - the photo on the left is a yurt - for more information or to make reservations at La Pine State Park - you can visit the website La Pine State Park


Having done a lot of tent camping over the years, this would seem like a luxury outdoor vacation. Beautiful scene. That's a prize winning photo of the vista.
Thesa, what a gorgeous photo!
I used to love camping. Until my bones felt "old". Now a hot shower, full bed, and a coffee pot are a must!
I am so excited! I'm planning a trip to Oregon in the summer, it'll be my first time to your beautiful state. What are the "must sees"?
Good Morning Thesa,
Flushing potties are always a plus in my book! Although I can rough it pretty well and am proud of it. My family would say ...Yurt , what do we need a yurt for!! just like Sarah said...Oregonians aren't wimpy!!
