Smith Rock Bivouac Area — Hotel in Redmond

Best little secret around. Camp sites are endless for everyone with a tent. Beautiful view to sleep under the milky way (almost under the milky way). Bathrooms are top notch. But the showers are a heaven!!! The cost to camp for the night is under $10. Camp hosts take excellent care of this beautiful bit of heaven. No reservations needed. First come first serve. Weekdays didn't seem to have any problem getting in. Weekends are deffinatly going to be harder to get everyone in for a parking spot. But, you can always walk in and pitch your tent. I live locally and bring out of town guests to stay the night here ... just to share this wonderful camp and all it has to view from Smith Rock. My cousin set up a time laps camera over the night. The outcome was...

Love this place! If you are looking for privacy, this might not be the place for you. There aren't designated campsites, so the side near the river is usually crowded. If you have a smaller tent, there are going to be a lot more options available as many spots are only big enough for a backpacking sized tent. The fee this year went up to 8 dollars per person. You aren't allowed to cook in the camping area. They have a designated area with tables near the bathrooms. There are showers here also. There is a shelf with many AC outlets for charging. It's a great opportunity to meet great people since this is where a majority of people hang out in...

This is a great place to set up camp if you are climbing at Smith Rock. They have showers, bathrooms, electric blues to charge your phones. You can't cook in the bivy area. They have a central area that you are allowed to have stoves for cooking. If you get there early enough you can get a site right on the edge with great views of Smith. It can get crowded on the weekends. You can't really beat being that close to the crag. There is no where closer...
