Twin Lakes Resort
Overview
Overview
Situated in La Pine, Oregon, Twin Lakes Resort offers travelers a quintessential Central Oregon experience surrounded by the towering pines and volcanic landscapes of Deschutes County. This destination places visitors right at the edge of the region's famous water systems, making it an appealing base camp for anglers, boaters, and road-trippers navigating U.S. Route 97 through the Pacific Northwest.
Location & Surroundings
Set against the backdrop of the Cascade Range, this area features high-desert terrain transitioning into dense ponderosa pine forests. Travelers arrive via Route 97, navigating a landscape defined by crisp mountain air, clear nights, and proximity to numerous alpine water bodies. Summer temperatures are typically warm and dry, while winter brings cold alpine weather and potential snowfall to the surrounding high-plateau elevation.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details vary widely across forest and lakeside properties in this region, visitors should contact the management directly to verify exact capabilities. Prior to arrival, campers should confirm specific details regarding hookup types, site dimensions, and vehicle length limitations. Inquire about seasonal water availability, waste disposal stations, and generator policies to ensure your rig matches the terrain.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor recreation dominates the surrounding region, with the Cascade Lakes Highway providing access to dozens of high-elevation fisheries and hiking trailheads just a short drive away. Visitors frequently explore the dramatic geological formations at Newberry National Volcanic Monument, featuring Obsidian Flow and Lava River Cave. Bend is situated roughly thirty miles north, offering craft breweries, outdoor gear outfitters, and full urban supply runs.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits road-trippers and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize water access and proximity to public lands over urban convenience. It appeals strongly to anglers, hikers, and travelers exploring the Oregon Outback via truck camper, travel trailer, or motorhome. Those seeking a quiet forest atmosphere within striking distance of Deschutes National Forest recreation will find this setting particularly rewarding.

We always make this place a routine to stop by and have lunch once a year while on our vacation on the Deschutes River. They have the best and cutest t-shirts. Have to always buy a couple. The view from the restaurant is beautiful.

Stayed at the campground and used the showers. It was an experience as the restroom/shower didn't appear to be getting cleaned daily. It was very dirty in the showers & restroom Saturday-Wednesday, unfortunately. The coffee/ice cream hut was a nice place to grab a coffee or milkshake. The restaurant with outdoor seating was great. This morning, after a rain hail lightning thunderstorm, the rental row boats had quite a bit of water in them. The staff seemed very new and still in training. Compared to Elk (pre 2025) & Cultus Lake, this resort still has a way to come as far as the store and dining options.

We used the public showers here three times while dry camping at north twin lake. On Monday, just after the doors were unlocked at 9am, we found trash on the floor, beer cans atop a wall, a bag of someone's toiletries on the sink counter and some disturbing brown stains on the wall on one shower. The toilet was a black hole of rust stains. We thought that maybe they just hadn't had time to clean them yet. On Thursday, we used them again and found the only change was the trash can was more full. I asked the two women at the store counter when and if they were cleaned and they assured us that they were SUPPOSED to be cleaned every day, and they would check to see if they were. The brown stains SHOCKED them! Yet on Sunday when we used them again the only change was that there was MORE trash on the floor, and toilet paper around the toilet and the trash was near overflowing. There are other public showers nearby and we'll be using those and doing our last minute shopping there.
