Pretty area and relaxing stay
There are different cabins to stay in, some with a view of Summer Lake. The area is quite pretty and no cabin has a bad view. There are also facilities for RVs and tent campers. Out cabin, Cantina, had a well equipped kitchen. The town of Paisley is nearby and has a small store and saloon.

Great laid back night with awesome views
The place is pretty rustic and it's not like driving into your RV resort experience. But I had tons of room to park my 42-ft motorhome and my tow vehicle without being crowded by anybody else. Had a great 180° view from my coach. I was informed by the guy who checked me in that the outdoor soaking tubs were clothing optional after 9:00. I got a chuckle out of that and decided to go to bed early. I ended up waking up about 4:00 in the morning and it was about 25° out. I went ahead and hit soaking tubs for a very relaxing time under the stars. For $25 without hookups, but getting to use the soaking tubs, I felt like I was committing robbery.

My favorite place
July 4th 2023 was my 3rd trip here. Booking for October 2025 now! I visited in 2015 and 2018. Once tent camping , and once in a van camping. This time will get a cabin. Absolutely love hanging out on the outside pools at night, sunset and late night soak. Not luxurious by any means, but that suits me. Exploring the Fremont wilderness, attractions on the road in from Bend.

The type of people we want to stay here !!!!
Hello ! I have stayed here twice. Once before the pandemic and the temperature was -5 !!! It was so Beautiful as the snow was glistening in the sun. And agin after the pandemic. Is this place dirty and full of bugs ? Well, yes. The dust blows off the dry lake bed (which is wonder to explore) and its way out in the country… lots of bugs.. they live out there !!!! The first time we went we stayed in the big house, a cabin and brought an RV. Entire family for Thanksgiving! It was wonderful. We were smart enough to bring our own pots and pans …. We were cooking a full out Thanksgiving Dinner ! My reason for writing this review is to address the woman who called it “hippie central” . Stick to your views, don’t be slamming a very large part of our culture. Most of us Hippies are very clean and responsible. After all, we are now all in our 70’s !!!!!! If you want a motel or hotel, well don’t stay here and expect the same amenities as those places.. you can’t stay out all night with a fire, watching the stars with friends. You wont make new friends with the residents of motels. They won’t share their food with you, and you can’t borrow stuff from them. Besides, we don’t want you staying there, complaining about everything we find acceptable. We adapt, and enjoy ourselves ..so , please ,go to a hotel. Thanks.

Never stay here
This "resort" is a dump. It is a filthy, dirty pig sty and the owners are rude. Dead bugs of every category inside the cabins- on the floor, bed, shower walls etc. No hot water in the kitchen or shower which was so filthy we were afraid to use it. The windows and screens were duct taped in place but did not stop the infiltration of bugs. We were so glad we had our own bedding as the thoughts of bed bugs and head lice were hard to escape! The walls of the cabin were painted drywall streaked with dead fly slpatter and stains of who knows what. Also, the stale, funky, dirty smell of the cabin left us wondering if we also smelled that way as we left each time we walked out the door. The range hood over the stove was coated in a layer of grease encrusted in bugs and moths: it was sketchy trying to cook under the cemetary of filth. The dish soap provided by the owner was so watered down it was useless. I washed all the dishes before we used them as it was obvious they had been put away dirty. It was truely "hippie central". I guess if your stoned enough this type of thing doesn't bother you. We were in Paisley on business and had already paid our $ otherwise we would have left. No refunds. My husband left his pistol on the nightstand during the night while we slept. Shady place, door locks? What's that?
