Redmond / Central Oregon KOA

We rented one of the tent villages along with a pull through site. Staff was wonderful, and very accommodating. Breakfast and ice cream social were great. Park was clean, especially enjoyed the laid back staff. Horses next door are a nice touch. We enjoyed the clean pool We will definitely be back

Dirtiest bathrooms I’ve ever seen. Trailers that look like they were built in the 70’s and been there since the 70’s and they don’t have the ammenities that they say they do. If you make a reservation you’ll be lucky to have it when you get there. Most unacomadating owners/​managers. Worst KOA ever so far!

Years ago, Mr. Tom Bodett (spokesman for Motel 6) would conclude his radio commercials by remarking:
«We’ll leave a light on for you.»
If Tom had worked for KOA (at least this particular Kampground) he’d be drawling:
«We’ll leave a light on the Confederate flag for you.»
This KOA literally displays a Confederate flag– proudly lit in a big window along the driveway leading to the Kampground.
When I brought it up they explained they didn’t really mean anything racial by it… but that doesn’t dilute the symbolism.
I shouldn’t have stayed there.
I arrived late, it was dark, and I was tired.
I stayed there.
I wish I hadn’t.

Nestled in the rolling farmland, not far from The Cove State Park, with a sparkling pool. We drove around both the campgrounds at the cove, but the 3 riverfront cabins were pre-​reserved, and a pool sounded so inviting. Not such spectacular ambient beauty, but our SW corner spot backed up to 3 pastures with a handful of horses & cows – peaceful, quiet (though highway-​close) & pastoral. Extremely well maintained with plenty of shade, & a huge, clean, sunlit shower house – Howard googled the safe pool entry time after adding soda ash for us, & re-​opened it for swimming on request. Among the special events is a glow parade Saturday nights, & Beth stocked plenty of glow toys for the kiddies!

This is a great and clean place to stay. The pool is nice on a long hot day. The people were very nice and they offer a military discount past or present! I will come back here for sure!

Enjoyed our stay there. Nice cabin. Peaceful country location. Love the fan and fridge in the two bedroom cabin. Very efficient, friendly office staff.

The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Very willing to help. The park, however was not kept up and very dusty. Campers were allowed to put up clothes lines and there was a lot of clutter around the campsites. The cabin windows were extremely dirty with cob webs and leaves on the porches. We stayed 3 days as most RV Parks were full due to FMCA Rally. We found another spot in Prineville which was much nicer. We stayed in a Motorhome.

If your children have adopted a sedentary lifestyle this summer, then drag your family 100+ miles to this KOA. Once there, You will notice that most tent sites are close together, so here is your chance to practice social skills. With a convenience store on site, meals come easy. If volleyball, horseshoes and rock hounding isn’t enough to keep you and the kids busy, then Smith Rock State Park is nearby. After which the KOA pool offers sanctuary during hot dessert days. At night, campfires are everywhere. Stars shine overhead like you’ve never seen them before. And adults get their drink on while playing cards after sucking down s’mores with the kids. Watch out, as dogs are plenty. Usually these later hours are used for laundry, showering, or washing dishes provided by KOA near the office. For free. The prices vary by choice of camp. About $ 50 a night by average. Well worth the small investment. We will make this a yearly trip.

Been on the road a month. By far the nicest staff around. Pancake breakfast today. Good sites, clean bathroom. I needed something they didn’t have at the store and a call was made and delivered right to my site. The best staff around.
I will plan a route by this place next time just to visit.

Once again KOA was a great choice for camping. This place was great. Out of the way and quiet. We even heard a pack of coyotes calling in the night. There’s a general store that sells adult beverages (a must for camping). The mangers were super nice. They even had an ice cream social one evening for everyone in the campground! The bathroom was huge and heated with plenty of hot water.
The first night we stayed in a tent but it was chilly so we decided to change to a cabin the next night. The wonderful staff were able to get us a small cabin instantly.
And just when I thought this campground couldn’t get any better I discovered a group of kids searching for frogs. Apparently two species of frogs utilize this campground. I ended seeing over 40 Pacific chorus frogs! Being a herpetologist this was very exciting. :D
If we’re ever in the Redmond/​Bend area we will definitely be back to this KOA.
