I hate writing a less than ideal review when my the communication I had before went well, but we were really disappointed with the teepee. We pulled in and were surprised to discover there is only 1 of the 3 teepee's as shown in the photos online. That wasn't a problem, just a surprise. But when we walked inside the teepee, I was upset because it was filthy. The ground was covered in both pet and people hair, as were the cots, and there was a full diaper in the garbage can. There was a fan which was nice, but there were string lights with no connector to plug them in. My son had a blast and thought it was great, but Im thankful were only there one night. The picnic table outside is broken and the showers weren't the cleanest (but definitely the worst I've seen). It would be helpful for a broom to be put in the teepee so guests could self clean a little or something.

We stayed for four nights just before Labor Day at Burns RV Park on our way to Idaho. It’s the only campground along Highway 20 between Bend and the Idaho border. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and our site (53) was spacious, sunny, and comfortable. There were lots of quail running around the campground, which was a nice touch. While the bathroom could use a thorough cleaning, the park itself has a charming, rustic vibe—reminding me of an old KOA. It’s quiet, simple, and overall met all our needs.

Good RV park with level, good sized spaces. Hookups good. Never saw anyone in the office but they had papers on the door. Bathroom clean. Clean RV park overall.

Had a family get together with our children from 4 different states for a week. Nice folks, friendly and accommodating for us. We all enjoyed our stay and felt comfortable and were able to relax well. Some of that is because of the place we were at this facility.
