Camping at South Twin Lake Campground near Bend

Public campground · Bend · 21 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

South Twin Lake Campground sits on the shore of a small, clear lake that occupies a shallow volcanic crater formed about 20,000 years ago when rising magma met groundwater and produced steam explosions. The lake itself covers 99 acres, averages about 33 feet deep and plunges to roughly 58 feet at its deepest; it lies just south of North Twin Lake and is a short paddle from the Deschutes arm of the much larger Wickiup Reservoir.

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (56 reviews, ★ 3.0). Not written or edited by us.

“Campground was clean, but we paid extra to stay here and have flushing toilets. Sadly tbey we’re not working. Without the bathrooms working, it would be nice to see the price be cheaper. ”

Daniel G 1 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Amazing campground host! Hard to see the deterioration of day use restroom and campground restrooms. Some of camping fee dollars need to go to upgrading those facilities especially in such a high use area.”

How far ahead to book South Twin Lake Campground

For July weekends, book about 180 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 158 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,734 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
