Sites come in six categories — standard and premium back-ins, concourse back-ins, standard and premium pull-thrus, concourse pull-thrus, and deluxe pull-thrus — all carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. At 87 feet the deluxe pull-thrus take long coaches. If you booked here before, note the name change: Oceanside RV Resort & Campground is now Sun Outdoors Coos Bay.

Oregon Outback RV Park

11 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Oregon Outback RV Park in Lakeview, Oregon, offers 11 RV sites and a tent site on the Oregon Outback Scenic Byway, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Pull-through and no-hookup back-in categories serve a spacious, family-owned property at 4,800 feet with views of Abert Rim. Eleven sites run in pull-through and no-hookup back-in configurations, the serviced sites carrying water and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups, though a dump station is available. A tent site covers simpler camping. Laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. A playground serves families, and the setting does the rest. Abert Rim rises directly from the alkali flat of Lake Abert's western shore — the longest exposed fault escarpment in North America at over 30 miles long and 2,500 feet tall, a geological display that recalibrates your sense of the Great Basin's vertical scale. Fishing, hiking, biking, birding, and hot springs are all accessible from the area, with skiing nearby in season. The elevation delivers crisp, clear air and genuinely dark night skies, which the Outback Byway's distance from any major urban center sustains. Lake County packs more geological and wildlife interest into its landscape than almost anywhere else in Oregon. The park serves the high desert season, with summer travel on the byway the peak and fall bringing clear conditions and quiet. With 11 sites, reserve ahead for summer weekends.

Imperial River Co.

27 RV Sites

Imperial River Co. in Maupin, Oregon, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites directly on the banks of the Deschutes River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Riverfront back-in and river view pull-through categories put guests on the water rather than near it, with a boat ramp, docks, a bar, and on-site dining. Twenty-seven sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in riverfront back-in and river view pull-through configurations, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side. When leaving the park, follow the directional signs slowly toward the exit without crowding, and proceed with caution to Bakeoven Road — depending on water level, you have two route options, one of which crosses the bridge. The river is the property's identity. A boat ramp and boat docks give direct access for whitewater rafting, fishing, and boating, with a community fire pit, walking trails, sports courts, volleyball, picnicking, and biking on the grounds. A bar, on-site dining, and a library round out the property, with planned activities through the season and strong birding along the canyon. Pets are welcome. Maupin sits on US-197 at the most active commercial whitewater and fishing section of the lower Deschutes — Oregon's most celebrated whitewater and fly fishing river, with 100 miles of canyon carrying Class III and IV rapids and a wild steelhead and rainbow trout fishery. Summer rafting season and the steelhead run drive demand. Reserve well ahead, and request a riverfront site early.

Driftwood RV Resort - Boardman

110 RV Sites

Driftwood RV Resort in Boardman, Oregon, offers 110 full-hookup pull-through RV sites two miles from the Columbia River, with 30 and 50-amp service. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with a laundry, showers, playground, and dog park in the high desert river corridor. One hundred ten sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp. A single-category, all-pull-through layout is genuinely practical for a highway park — no backing after a long driving day, no guessing about what you booked, and every guest gets the same spec. Confirm length limits with the resort for your rig. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A playground and dog park fill the grounds, with boating nearby and productive birding along the river corridor. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which suits a property built as a comfortable overnight and extended-stay base rather than a destination. Pets are welcome. Boardman sits where the Columbia carves through the eastern Cascade rain shadow — a stretch that trades the basalt gorge scenery of the western Columbia River Gorge for a wider, windier, agriculturally intensive landscape with its own character. The SAGE Center in town focuses on sustainable agriculture and energy and serves as an official Oregon Welcome Center, and the Columbia River Heritage Trail offers scenic biking along the water. Demand runs steadily on I-84 traffic and agricultural work stays rather than a tourist season. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable high desert conditions. Reserve ahead for holiday travel, and ask about monthly rates.

Burns RV Park

52 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites, 1 Yurt, 1 Tipi

Burns RV Park in Oregon offers 52 RV sites, two cabins, eight tent sites, and two tipis and yurts at 4,150 feet in the high desert, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 130 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup categories at both amperages join a 30-amp water-and-electric tier and a double dry camping spot. Fifty-two sites span 30-amp full hookup, 50-amp full hookup, 30/50-amp full hookup, 30-amp water-and-electric, and double dry camping categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 130 feet. One hundred thirty feet is exceptional, and the double dry camping spot gives self-contained rigs a low-cost option. Accessible sites are available. Two cabins, eight tent sites, and two tipis and yurts round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A dog park, tennis, horseshoes, and picnicking fill the grounds, with a creek on the property, wine and beer tasting nearby, and planned activities through the season. Birding is exceptional here. Pets are welcome. Burns sits on US-20 at the eastern edge of the Harney Basin, a vast open landscape unlike anything on the usual Pacific Northwest circuit. Steens Mountain, the Alvord Desert, the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Diamond Craters, the Peter French Round Barn, BLM wild horse corrals, and hot springs are all within reach. Spring migration at Malheur and summer draw the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead.

Hart's Camp

Hart's Camp in Pacific City, OR, offers full-hookup RV sites carrying water, sewer, and electric, with a fire pit and picnic table at each site. Both pull-thru and back-in layouts are available, and the camp is rated big rig friendly. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a clubhouse, a pavilion, on-site dining, and recycling. Airstreams and cabins are available for guests without a rig. Contact the camp for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here. The recreation is genuinely coastal: an indoor pool, a hot tub, a spa, a fitness center, mini-golf, walking trails, a community fire pit, horseshoes, and corn hole, with surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, swimming, hiking, biking, birding, and winter storm watching on the doorstep. Hart's Camp sits directly behind Pacific City Beach, with Haystack Rock, Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area and its tide pools, the Nestucca River estuary, and the Pacific City Pathways Trail all within a short walk. Moment Surf Company and the local wine bars are minutes away. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Summer on the Oregon Coast books out early.

Strawhouse Resorts and Cafe

14 RV Sites, 8 Cottages, 1 Yurt

Strawhouse Resorts and Cafe in Junction City, CA, offers 14 full-hookup RV sites, 8 cottages, and 1 yurt, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 52 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30/50-amp and pull-in 30/50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with WiFi across the property. The on-site cafe is part of the appeal — this is a resort with a kitchen, not a campground with a vending machine. A recreation center, walking trails, and a dog park round it out, and the property doubles as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. The Trinity River runs along the resort, and that's the draw: fishing, kayaking, hiking, birding, horseshoes, and planned activities, with the river running cold and clear out of the Trinity Alps. Junction City sits in Trinity County, one of California's most remote and most scenically dramatic inland counties, well off the interstate grid. Rates for sites, cottages, and the yurt are on the booking page. Summer river season and fall steelhead runs book earliest.

from $62/night

39 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 1 Cottage

Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table. The resort is open all year. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and a dump station cover the essentials, and pets are welcome. Check-in is 2pm for RV guests with an 11am checkout, while cabin guests check in at 3pm and out by 11am. An outdoor pool, a game room and arcade, a bar, and a playground fill the grounds, with lake access for swimming, fishing, and wildlife watching. Lakehead sits five minutes off Interstate 5 in Shasta County, on the banks of Shasta Lake — California's largest reservoir at 29,000 surface acres with 365 miles of shoreline in the Klamath Mountains. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Lakeview water-and-electric sites are limited and book first in summer.
