EXPLORE DOWNTOWN, RETURN TO THE RANCH

Want time in downtown Bend without giving up a night under the high desert sky? Roadhouse Ranch & Camp is a short drive from the downtown core, making it easy to spend part of a day in town and return to your yurt or campsite. Browse independent shops, stop for coffee, pick a restaurant for dinner and take a walk through Drake Park by the Deschutes River. The Downtown Bend Business Association keeps a current guide to businesses and events at downtownbend.org; check it when choosing where to go, since hours and events change. A simple itinerary is to arrive downtown for a late morning stroll, explore the shops, enjoy lunch, then head toward the river or stay for an evening meal. Give yourself time for parking and traffic, especially during popular events. Back at Roadhouse, enjoy the ranch trails, shared camp spaces and hot showers. Our heated, furnished yurts offer an easy stay without your own camping gear; dry RV and tent sites are available if you bring your setup. Campsites do not have electric, water or sewer hookups, so review the exact listing before reserving. Use the button below to compare current dates and choose the stay that fits your Bend plans.
