On a quick auto trip a week ago we stop to to run the dogs at a Lynn County Park. What we found
was a great place for to spend sometime in the center of the Westerner Cascades. River Bend Park is still being developed, but what is there has been built with modern RVs in mind.
Located a little more than eight miles east of Sweet Home, OR on Highway 20. From I-5 take the Hwy 20 east through Lebanon and Sweet Home. Follow US-20 east (Santiam HWY SE) until arriving at the River Bend County Park. 45931 Santiam HWY, Foster, OR 97345
River Bend offers a full range of outdoor recreation opportunities including trials, river access, camping, day-use and group facilities. There's a group picnic shelter, a play field, trails, river access, fishing, and 45 campsites open for visitors and campers to enjoy. When the project is built out, the campground will have a total of 90 sites on 90 acres fronting the South Santiam River. Currently there is 35 water/electric campsites and 10 campsites without hook-ups. Two Restroom and shower facilities are already available. There is also a large covered shelter near the playground and a small enclosed shelter near the river and across from the restroom. Both of these shelters may be reserved.
The 35 campsites with hookups all have electricity to 50 amps and water. There is a dump station at the park entrance. Each site has paved parking and a concrete slab with picnic table and fire pit. Some sites are open and write next to one another and some are carved into the trees giving a sense of seclusion.
