la pine state park

I live very close to this park, so go there often--if I lived farther, I would definitely camp or stay in one of the cabins there. There are 2 types, 1 has just sleeping quarters, the others are deluxe--not like camping! I go to the park to walk, there is also great hiking, fishing, boating..and just relaxing. This is one of the best campgrounds I've ever been to.

I have stayed a few times In the summer. There are things to do for everyone like junior ranger for the kids &fishing & hiking for thefamily

This state park is wonderfully set up for all sizes of family's, from 2 to 25. It has tent spaces, trailer spaces with power, rustic cabins and modern cabins. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area from hiking to fishing to winter sports.

It has great walking trails, picnic areas, good birdwatching, with the Deschutes River running through it and swimming beach in the summer - what's not to like?!

Awesome location to do all sorts of hikes in the area. My wife and I brought our dogs and we're looking to go camping. We decided to go to Lapine SP, and stay in the rustic cabin, as tent camping with our big dogs isn't easy. It was great. All the fun of camping, without the trouble. I love tent camping, but with small kids and animals, this is a great option.

The next trip to La Pine will include a few days camping in La Pine State Park. It is clean, cool, and secluded. It has a river running through it with lots of opportunities for outdoor recreational activities as well as nearby restaurants and museums.

We went to Oregon for a week long vacation. Camped two nights at lapine and loved it. I really would enjoy going back to stay on the campgrounds again. The restrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. The park itself is beautiful and the weather was just perfect. We dont have chipmunks where we live and I miss seeing them! It was just the cutest thing to hear them in the morning playfully running around.

Located on the Deschutes river this campsite is a favourite of our family. Large sites,clean ( and free) showers which never seemed busy,even though we were there in August. A short drive to the town of La Pine which has two decent supermarkets ( shopped in both)and other amenities.And of course close to Bend. Nice bike trails around the campsite for families. The river is good for swimming and we used our stand up paddle board on the river. Adult sons kayaked,but not much of a challenge .

The park was very clean, including the bathrooms and showers. The showers were free and bathrooms were fully functional/flush toilets and hot water there too. Way better than the bathrooms/showers in Washington State parks! We were in South loop. There is a nice trail along the river. Sites do not offer privacy, but the electricity and water hook ups were appreciated. It's nice that firewood is available right in the same loop we were camping in. There are no garbage cans throughout the loop, just a main refuse and recycle area towards the park entrance. Love that recycling is an option! Sites are a bit dusty based on the landscape, the tent pads and roads were very nice. It was fairly quiet. Not far from the High Desert Museum, Lava Lands Visitor Center/ Lava Butte cinder cone, and Bend. We recommend.

We stayed in a deluxe cabin. It was quiet and comfortable. The bed was hard, but it was a state park so to be expected! The propane BBQ was a nice touch and made cooking easy.Loved the multitude of chipmunks! The old tree and McGregors viewpoint were fantastic. So peaceful and easily accessible.We were disappointed to discover that only a minutes walk behind our cabin there was the beautiful river, but on the other side it had all been clear cut. Totally decimated. Heartbreaking. Stayed for two nights. Should have stayed much longer but the cabins book up so far in advance that two night was all we could get.

WE do a yearly camping trip to La Pine State Park. It is always an enjoyable trip with lots of camp spaces which can handle tents to big RVs. The Deschutes River is part of the park and you can walk to it and get down to the water in many places which allow for fishing, canoeing, floating the river on tubes, etc. The park is always quiet at night which makes for good sleeping. This is a great place to camp and is highly recommended.

Was travelling through the area and looking for an easy campsite. Nailed it! La Pine State Park is just like most other state parks that offer camping, but better than average. Friendly staff, not busy at all during the week. Plenty off spaces with water and power and most with full hookups. Nearby water feature, miles of trails, clean restrooms and showers, firewood for sale, camp store and so on. Camp spaces are a bit farther apart than at many other place I've been. Overall a good place, definitely quiet during the week. Great place for families with kids. Not my kind of place usually, but happy I stopped for the night.

We camped as a large group in three adjacent sites in the middle loop of the park. Two if the three offered very good shade. The park has plenty of dusty trails to walk on that are good for anyone. BRING WATER for yourself and your dogs if you take a longer hike. River access is available on the hikes from the campground, but are few and far between. The best river access we found was at Big Tree and the waterfall. The falls are small but beautiful. Both areas had grassy shorelines with easy access to the water. Big tree has a paved trail and is only a little over 1000 feet from the parking area. We saw plenty of fly fishermen catching trout in the river. Park has decent amenities; a very small store (closet) open 4 hours a day. Ice was what we bought the most of and we were grateful they had it. Kids rode bikes around the loops and played ball in the grassy field in the center of our loop. Horseshoes were also available. Overall we liked the park except that we could not see or easily access the river from our camping loop and the sites were dusty.

We stayed here for 4 nights in the middle loop and it was among the cleanest and quietest campgrounds we've ever been to.There are plenty of great trails to hike and each spot has ample room and a surprising amount of privacy. The bathrooms and showers were spotless and the tiny little camp store, while it had limited hours, offered all the "little things" you find you may have forgotten. Ice is available at the store and firewood is available at every loop. When we were there it was on the "honor system" and was $5 a bundle. Bring exact change (ice was $2 a bag).The only downside is that there is only one trash receptacle and that's at the registration booth, too far for a quick "taking the trash out" walk. If you have a large RV or plan on leaving the campground it's not a problem, but I can see it being an issue for smaller RV's or tent campers.We stayed at site 92 and would try and get the same site again in the future.

This park is clean and comfortable. Easy access camp spots some with full hook ups some water & electric. The rangers are so friendly and nice and the camp hosts are awesome. They keep the camp clean and neat. We have a 37ft diesel pusher and it fits just fine. Lots of trails and the river is right there. They even have a huge dog park that us and our friends dogs loved!
