We've been traveling again (after quarantine in Sisters, Oregon) for over two weeks. We've stayed at six different campgrounds, all of them commercial campgrounds. While Oregon is slowly opening up, most Oregon State Park Campgrounds are closed or offering limited services.
Case in point, we were scheduled to camp just north of Crater Lake at Diamond Lake Campground (National Park Campground) on the 8th of June. We made a reservation for 4 days. About a week after getting confirmation, the National Park Service notified us we'd been cancelled due to continuing concerns by Oregon of COVID-19. After receiving notice of cancellation, we decided to make our way back towards the coast, stopping over again in Eugene, Oregon for three days. Deerwood RV Park is located just off the Williamette Highway and Interstate 5 southeast of Eugene. It's is a nicely kept park in a good location to explore Eugene. They provide nice and spacious private showers and have a nice laundry room. Melanie and I rode our bikes from Deerwood over to Island Park about 6 miles away and picked up the greenway that runs along the Williamette River. We rode to Owen Rose Garden and then on into downtown Eugene where we picked up groceries and got a beer at a downtown bar on the way back to Deerwood. We'd stay here again.
