Details

We stayed for one night at the Crown Villa RV Resort in mid August, 2019. Our original booking was for a longer time, but we postponed and shortened our stay due to delays in scheduled RV repairs. Resort staff were friendly and accommodating when we changed our reservations and at check-in.

This resort is one of the nicest parks in the Bend area, is conveniently located near to many area attractions, but is also very pricey. The resort is popular and can fill up during peak season, so early reservations are recommended.

*** Caution *** Do not trust your GPS when routing to this park. For high profile rigs, caution must be exercised to avoid a low clearance (12′ 8″) railroad overpass south of the park on Brosterhous Road! Check the campground website for up-to-date detailed directions.

Cost

The resort categorizes RV sites into Tiers – Copper, Bronze, Gold, Platinum, and Pull-Thru – based on site size/quality/amenities. Fees scale accordingly with Tier. For one night at a Bronze Tier 50 amp full hookup gravel back-in site, we paid $76.30. There were no additional fees for pets or an extra vehicle.
