    Disc golf course I think?

    Don't be fooled by what you see online. This place clearly fell into disrepair many, many years ago and retains almost no resort-like qualities. The campsites are spacious and beautiful. If they advertised this as a rustic RV camp I would have been better prepared. But instead I wanted to cry from disappointment at the complete lack of amenities. There is no pool, no mini golf, no store. Everything is crumbling and falling apart and clearly was not just closed for COVID which is why it all remains closed afterwards. They haven't even Tun a weed eater through the horse shoe pits to make them useable. There are a couple dirt trails to walk or mountain bike on and a grassy area along the river that was packed full of people who were tent camping there. If you need a spot for just basic camping then this has nice campsites but otherwise I highly recommend spending the extra money and just renting a room in Sunriver proper.

    We had a fantastic experience at Thousand Trails RV resort in Sunriver, OR. My family had a wonderful time during our two-day stay here. There is quick access to the little deschutes river for causal wading or floating on the river. There are full amenities for the family, including a pool, miniature golf, and...rabbits! My kids had a blast feeding the domesticated rabbits that hang out near the camp store. Overall, it was a great experience. I will be coming back for sure!

    Thousand Trails "Resort" was a major disappointment. The website showed a pool and multiple activities for children. We got an email before our trip saying the pool was closed but was expected to reopen in July. We arrived and were told that the pool was closed for the entire year as it had to be completely dug out and replaced. The hot water in the shower near our campsite was not working. We used the pickle ball courts but the portable nets were flimsy and the courts were in disrepair. They were only two portable nets for 8 pickle ball courts! And there are large trash cans with yellow tape blocking off the tennis courts. We tried to use the laundry machine but they required quarters which we did not bring. There were no change machines to get quarters!! Other RV Parks had laundry machines that took credit cards. There was no direct trail for hiking or bicycles to get to the Sunriver Resort area. Our entire group had the impression that Thousand Trails was investing little into this property despite record levels of full reservations. The website should be updated to accurately reflect the current status of the property. And there should be discounts offered to guests with so much missing from the advertised experience. Thousand Trails is not putting the customer first.

    Nice, large campsites in the woods, all water and electric only, no sewer. A very few are pull thrus and a very few are 50AMP, but the vast majority are 30AMP back ins. Both Verizon and AT&T have good service. There are a couple food trucks by the entrance if you don't want to cook (lunch). Lots of rest room/shower buildings. Sunriver is a few miles away but the roads are under construction, better to drive further into Bend for stores, including Costco and Trader Joe's, and restaurants. Lots to see and do in the area, including Newberry Volcanic National Monument and the High Desert Museum. We had three nice meals in Bend: Cuban Kitchen (Cuban), Zydeco (Cajun) and Sargent's Cafe (reasonably priced breakfast and lunch place).

    Mold all over the showers

    I used to love this place, now its poorly managed and sad. There was a ton of mold in the showers, they decided to update the pool in the middle of summer (and told us about it just 2 days before our stay), and the place just looks shabby. The wooded setting and river were great, but the rest was disappointing.

    Pretty disappointed in this place. Super dirty and unkempt. One of the pools was broken and you could see the dirt in the water in the other. Couldn't even see the bottom. Went for a little run and the pictures are what I saw. None of it looks like it does on the website. Place was a dump

    Nice kitchen, towels, dishes, pans, utensils all furnished.

    Great place to relax and is very close to many of the best Cascade Lakes. Check it out!

    Convenient camp store and proximity to the many great rivers of central Oregon make this a great base camp.

    What a well maintained and clean park! We were in Bend for five days and stayed at Sun Outdoors…read more The sites are long and paved with pavers. Hook ups as well as a trash can/recycling bin. Valet trash service. A storage shed for your toys- The clubhouse is well appointed: pool table/popcorn/TV/fire pits/corn hole/hot tub/sauna The desk is staffed until 10pm There is a small sundrys store and ice is available for purchase. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We appreciated the policy of kids under 14 needing to be accompanied by an adult in the clubhouse areas We were in site #432e. The site is situated in the end near a fence. Across from the fence is a pretty busy road. The site itself is wide. Tricky getting. If the site next to you is occupied. We backed into the spot next to us to turn around then backed into our spot. Otherwise you would be backing down the whole way. No wood fires allowed $$$

They come round and pickup garbage and recycle daily (yes you get two separate bins) Pros: Sauna (yes, sauna), showers included (no tokens required!). Clean bathrooms. Free coffee, popcorn in afternoon, lounge, firepits, BBQ, pickleball, board games. Cons: Extremely high prices ($600+ for 5 nights), super annoying 'resort fee' nuisance fee tacked on ($15/night), $10/night for xtra car. And then we get charged Bends 'Hotel Tax' on top of it all. The 'free internet' is next to useless, HS internet is vendored by a THIRD PARTY and charges high daily fees for usage, with no local support.

My friend chose to hold her wedding reception here, and it was absolutely perfect. Easy to get a nearby caterer (Bleu Bite was awesome!), and they let us decorate how we wanted and set up as appropriate. Parking is fairly easy, although in the mid-summer during the afternoon it gets crazy as everyone heads down to the lake. Perfect location for kayaking, paddle boarding, or just lounging/swimming with the family. The campground itself was easy to navigate and overall served its purposes well. The bathrooms were disgusting, but fairly par for the course for these types of places. The biggest problem is that there is only 1 shower for the entire campgrounds. ONE SHOWER. We had to twist the arm of the person at the front desk to get her to keep a list for the shower as well, as we were all trying to get ready for a wedding. A few of us ended up just jumping in the lake and wearing our hair up. Oh well, I guess for more hardcore outdoorsy people this is a minor issue, but I was kind of sad about it.

What started as a casual morning walk quickly turned into a beautiful four-mile hike filled with rushing rapids, peaceful river bends, towering pine trees, and some incredible Central Oregon scenery. One of the best parts of this trail is how much the landscape changes as you go. At some points the river was calm enough for paddleboarders floating by, and at others the rapids were roaring against the rocks with serious energy and sound. The trail itself was also a nice mix. Some sections were smooth and paved, while others became a little more rugged with dirt paths, rocks, and small elevation changes that made the hike feel adventurous without being overly difficult. I would still consider this a very approachable hike for most people and fitness levels. We saw walkers, runners, families, and people out with their dogs enjoying the trail. Pro tip: bring water, especially on warmer days, because parts of the trail are fully exposed to the sun. Another thing I appreciated was how accessible this experience was from downtown Bend. We were able to walk straight from our hotel into what felt like a completely different environment surrounded by river, forest, and nature. We eventually wrapped up near the Old Mill District, which made for the perfect ending with shops, restaurants, and a chance to relax after the hike. Sometimes the best travel experiences are not the big tourist attractions, they are the simple moments outside on a trail reminding you why places like Bend are so special.

You get a small park/playground area at one point and you get rocks and trees and nature and a few homes to look at too. Easy 3.5 miles walk around.
