Scandia RV Park

Stayed at Scandia RV park for Three Months. I came in, in January renting a spot monthly now the price for the park I thought was fair. But there was a lot of disappointing things about Scandia. First off the bathrooms were always nasty I couldn't tell you how many times the toilet was broken and or clogged and how long it would take before it was kind of fixed or cleaned. The grounds keeper a young guy I spoke with told me his horror story's about working there, managers on site would threaten to fire him for no reason the kid would work his butt off with no supervision because his supervisor who lives on the other side is a drunk and didnt want to be bothered. And the winning peace as to why I would never stay here again, Richard the manager on site. He is a very rude person, as I said I stayed for three months was told in may I would have to leave for the change of the season which was fine. However come April I go to pay my rent and there was a mix up they had double booked the spot I was staying in. Richard asks if I would mind moving to another spot for the last month. I tell him that would be no problem and ask if that comes with a discount or anything. He gets so angry with my question starts to yell at me and threatens to kick me out of the park after his little tantrum he storms off leaving the poor gal at the front to figure it out. Needless to say I left in april and would not recommend this place.

Showed up on a weekend (early April) without any reservations and had our choice of spots. Would suggest a spot near the back to be away from the main road and the neighboring businesses. Our spot was next to a fire pit which was a nice amenity. Restrooms were clean and met expectations. Laundry room was clean and machines worked well. Overall location was great and about a 10 minute drive to downtown Bend. Friendly and informative staff. Wi-fi was good.

(Price reflects weekly rate special). The spots here are pretty close together, with not a lot of privacy, and it is located right next to a Wendy's drive through. If you can, I would try and snag spots 318, 320, or 322 as they have more green space and privacy. That being said, it's a great location to explore the city of Bend. We rode our bikes pretty easily down to Farewell Bend Park, the Mill District, Pilot Butte, and Downtown Bend. It was a 10 minute drive to Downtown, 30 minutes to Mt. Bachelor, and 20 to Smith Rock. The owners were friendly and delivered packages right to our door. The laundry rooms were clean and only cost $1.25 per load. There is a great bagel and donut place right next door, and you can easily walk to some of the stores in the immediate area.

Not bad for inside the city limits of Bend and considering that Tumalo State Park is closed for renovations. Besides, we get a lot of nights camping in remote places. When we come somewhere to actually check out a city, we like to be as close as possible to the action, especially when always working around nap schedules and meals. The first spot we were given at the Scandia RV park was sandwiched in a line of huge 5th wheels, skirted with insulation and not looking like they were going anywhere. When we asked about the spots on the wide open back loop, they happily moved us, like it had never occurred to them we might not want to be shoehorned in immediately behind a Wendy's. The park is about a 10 minute drive to downtown Bend and all the brewpubs and parks on the river (I took a $10 cab out to one the first night) and easy walking distance to Walmart, Albertsons, Harbor Freight, a good Ace Hardware store and the Bend Outlet Mall. And there's a Toyota dealership across the street, so we'll drop the Sequoia off for a 10K service tomorrow.

This RV park is located a few minutes from central and downtown Bend, OR, making it a convenient jumping-off point for the Ale Trail, shopping, movies and other Bend-related activities. It's located off a busy street next to a Wendy's, across from a hot tub retailer and near a Wal-Mart, so you can kind of picture what kind of area this is. Mostly quiet except for the occasional train rumbling by or person with souped-up 1980s car going through Wendy's drive-through.

Friendly, organized management with dog treats and human treats (coffee + candy). Clean, hot showers and laundry nearby. A section of the park seems to be dedicated to more permanent residents, which could mean anything, but in this case seems to mean 80% non-sketchy. Decent separation between sites. Hard to walk anywhere without crossing a freeway on-ramp. All in all, decent and clean, we'd stay again. Good Sam gives you a $3.50 discount, and site prices range between $35-$45 during off-season.
