Cascade Meadows R V Resort

We arrived here on July 16 for 3 nights located in Lapine, Oregon.  This park is located about 25 minutes to Bend, Oregon to the north and about 40 miles to Crater Lake to the Southwest.  We had a large level site with 50 amp electric, water, sewer, and located near the clubhouse and pool area.  Even though we were charged $5 extra for 50 amp electric, their were strict rules against using more than one air conditioner, (under penalty of eviction). This is a good place for a home base while visiting the area.  Not much to write home about the landscaping or lack thereof as this is a large open field with mowed down mixture of grass, weeds and very few trees.  Even though this park is located right on Highway 97, noise from the traffic was not too bad.   Visitors are encouraged to water their own sites after 4PM, so the resort was somewhat browned out and the weeds were mixed with the gravel sites with notices to not park on the grass.  The lady who checked us in was accommodating and we paid $16 per night with our RPI membership.  I rate this park P***.

Buddy was sick after we arrived and could not hold any food down.  He ate something that did not agree with him at the last stop.  After a $450 visit to the local veterinary hospital with blood tests, probiotics, and anti nausea pills he is now a happy camper.  We spent the last day getting our carpets professionally cleaned by Stanley Steamer to clean remnant's of Buddy's stomach.  Since we have visited Crater Lake in the past, we spent the day in Bend one day and shopped at Costco as I broke my glasses with a high tension bungy cord.  The glass probably saved my eye and I was able to jury rig the glasses to work, but Costco repaired them in 10 minutes for free.  We had a nice four course meal at Anthony's Restaurant at the Old Mill on the Deschutes River.  We also took a day trip to Newberry National Volcanic Monument in the Deschutes National Forest.  We had a picnic lunch with sandwiches, chips, and I enjoyed two cold brews at East Lake.  The wind had picked up off the lake and we shortened our stay as we were cold with the jackets we brought.
