About
Tumalo State Park is a year-round camping destination nestled along the Deschutes River in central Oregon's high desert. Located just four miles north of Bend, the park provides convenient access to the region's outdoor recreation opportunities including world-class mountain biking, fly fishing, alpine lakes, and scenic hiking trails. The campground offers diverse accommodation options: 23 full-hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections; 54 tent sites (water service shut off during winter months); 7 yurts with electric lighting, outlets, and heating; and two seasonal group camping areas. Each standard campsite includes a picnic table and fire ring. The yurts sleep up to 5 people with two double beds and one single bed. Modern amenities include flush toilets, hot showers, a dump station, and potable water throughout the campground. Six ADA-accessible sites are available, including two full-hookup sites, four tent sites, and one accessible yurt. Pets are welcome at most tent sites and select yurts. Reservations can be made up to six months in advance through Oregon State Parks' reservation system.
