Cascade Meadows

On June 23, 2012, we headed south down route 97 toward Bend, Oregon.  We have traveled this route before and it is a pleasant drive along large farms that grow mostly hay and grass seed.  We passed through a very severe thunderstorm on this route, but managed to pass without any complications.  We stayed at this membership park located about 20 miles south of Bend, Oregon on highway 97.  This park is located at the 4000 foot level and was cold and rainy every day - welcome to Oregon.  We ran our heater all night as the temps dropped to 40 degrees.  We refilled our propane tank when we left.  The pictures of this park do not do it any justice as it looks like motorhomes are parked in a pasture.  They are, but the sites are level, full hookups with 30 amp electric, and huge sites.  Notice the distance between sites.  The area between campers is our site.  We paid $10 plus tax per night with our RPI membership.  It is located right along the highway so there is a little traffic noise.  There was a pool on the property and I noticed some kids swimming in there.  The outside temperature was 65 degrees----buurrrrrrr.  I won't go in my pool until temps reach 90 degrees.  I rate this park M***. 
We spent 3 days here and visited the High Desert Museum and went to a free outdoor concert in Bend, Oregon.  (separate posts)
