This is a very nice state park along the Deschutes River. Lots of parking and different areas for groups to get together. Picnic benches scattered throughout. I wanted to get out with my parrot for a couple of hours and it was close to where I was staying. We took a park bench away from the group activities however the kids slowly migrated their games to where we were so they could see the bird. My cockatoo Nutmeg loves the attention, likes to show off and talk and I like to educate the children and adults about parrots as pets. This is a very family friendly park. And I don't get a lot of photos when Nutmeg is with me.

A perfect place for a family picnic and peaceful getaway from the city. The kids can play in the river, there's wide open play spaces, and it's close enough for a hike to Riley Ranch. The only downside is that there are no public restrooms - only porta-potties to use.

Such a great park with trails and almost no cars. Easy to walk with kids, not dangerous.

These camp sites are good size. They are pet friendly. However it was very crowded and busy. We were lucky to get a site as someone was leaving. Camp hosts were friendly as well. Lots of trails to walk and water for the kids to play in. :)
