RV Park near La Pine, OR

Majestic forests, crystal-blue lakes, and steady sunshine are just a part of what makes Big Pines RV Park so very special. Join us at our RV park in Crescent, Oregon for camping at its finest. Our local area has plenty of room for outdoor play with activities like fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, and mountain biking. We accommodate RV’s up to 100 feet. Come see what Central Oregon camping is all about.

Plan your visit today. Big Pines RV Park is conveniently set on Highway 97, just north of the junction with Oregon Highway 58 and 45 minutes south of Bend. The main attractions of our area are Crater Lake National Park, which is 45 miles to the south, and Newberry Volcanic National Monument, which is 35 miles to the north.

But we are always asked what else is there to do in Crescent? From here, it’s easy to make day trips for fly fishing on the Deschutes River or Fall River, riding your ATV or dirt bike in the Gilchrist State Forest or on the new Three Trails System, kayaking at Waldo Lake, or mountain biking through the Deschutes National Forest. With four shining natural lakes nearby, you’ll find plenty of room for fishing, water sports, bird watching, and scenic hikes.  And if you have extra time, another great place to visit is the High Desert Museum just south of Bend. And of course you can always simply lounge in your spacious site here in the park and get a little rest.

Good Sam’s has consistently rated Big Pines RV Park in the top 10 of all Central Oregon RV Parks and you’ll see why when you relax in your spacious campsite. We have superb facilities, including full hook-ups with up to 50 amps, free Cable TV and free Wi-Fi access.

Cell Phone Service is very important to you, and we know Big Pines has strong Verizon™ and AT&T™ signals, which means most Net10™, StraightTalk™, and TracPhones™ have great signals as well. Sprint™ and T-Mobile™ are unavailable. We will check with our guests and update other plans as the information becomes available. If your phone plan does not work here, we have our guest phone featuring free long distance calls within the U.S. and Canada available 24hr a day for your convenience.

Big Pines RV Park is a member of the Ride Oregon Ride Bike Friendly Business program. We are committed to welcoming cyclists offering amenities riders may need as they visit Oregon and have officially been recognized by Travel Oregon.

Individual Wood Campfires are no longer allowed at Big Pines RV Park. As an alternative, a new community fire ring is planned. Propane fire pits will be allowed at your site, conditions permitting. This was a difficult decision, but with the addition of 34 new sites we looked at the impact of the additional fire rings in the park. There is the increased risk and liability of starting a wildfire and we have all seen the news about the pain and suffering that wildfire has brought to the Northwest in recent years. Additionally, we need to be concerned about air quality. Much like sound, smoke is not limited to your campsite.  We hope you understand this change.

Camping, fishing, boating adventure

A man made lake 42 miles south of Bend which is known for big trout and Bass fishing.

Deepest lake in the USA, short drive from Bend, Oregon.

The blue. You’ll first look at Crater Lake National Park and wonder about the blue. How can a lake be that blue? The short answer is because the deepest lake in the country is filled with 4.6 trillion gallons of some of the purest, clearest water in the world. The longer answer has to do with molecules and other science-stuff. You can learn more about that when you get there – just 90 minutes south of Bend.

Visitors can drive or bicycle around Crater Lake or enjoy one of the many interpretive hikes within the National Park. Pamper yourself with a stay at the rustic Crater Lake lodge. Several campgrounds are also on site, giving you a chance to spread out those views over several days.

And if the views from above aren’t enough, take the one mile hike down to the water’s edge where you can take a dip or fish for trout or salmon.

Formed by a glacier, these pristine mountain waters created a wonderful sanctuary for wildlife. In the early 19th Century, Cultus Lake was a highly sought destination for early explorers seeking to expand their trade in the fur trade industry. Today, it is home to rainbow trout, mackinaw and brook trout where patient anglers test their luck on shore or by boat, then trade stories by campfire light. Cultus Lake is on the Cascade Scenic Byway and a short drive from Bend, Sunriver and LaPine, Oregon.

An anglers dream!

One frequent fisherman on the Metolius River may have summed it up best, calling it “The Last Great Place.”

This tributary of the Deschutes River flows north from it’s natural springs origins near Black Butte and is a fly fishing only, all catch and release river.  It might be harder to tell which has it better here, the rainbow, brown and bull trout that thrive in the clear, cold waters or the anglers who call this one of the best places on Earth to cast a fly. Several lodges along the river and nearby fly shops have everything you need to enjoy one of Central Oregon’s jewels.
