Roadhouse Ranch & Camp is a newly licensed boutique glampground just north of Bend, surrounded by juniper, volcanic rock and Central Oregon’s dark skies. The intimate property has five themed yurts and 10 campsites, creating a welcoming, social alternative to a large commercial campground.

Guests can gather at the covered gazebo, shared barbecue area and communal propane fire pit; play games or disc golf; explore Ghost Ridge Trail; and enjoy Starlink Wi-Fi, fresh drinking water and a modern bathhouse with private hot showers and flush toilets.

The Observatory is designed for stargazing, with a queen bed, propane heat, solar lighting and a deck overlooking the surrounding lava rim. Spend the day exploring Bend, Redmond or Smith Rock, then return for an evening beneath the high-desert sky.
