There are times when you want a getaway, and you want lots of accommodation options, beautiful natural surroundings, and lots of amenities so that you can get away from it all in a rustic setting, yet still have the conveniences of home. In that case, you need a lodge. What better place than in State Parks in Oregon? The Pacific Northwest is famed for old-growth forests and pine trees by the coast. Whether you’re cruising the country in an RV, backpacking, or just want a nice trip with the family, these 3 lodges will suit your needs.
Shelter Cove Resort & Marina, on the edge of Odell Lake in Umpqua National Forest, offers luxurious lodge stays, studio cabins, RV spots with all the hookups, and tent camping. The main lodge has a convenience store and the Hook & Talon, where you can get thick, delicious burgers and pizza. Boat rentals are available so that you can enjoy incredible fishing of rainbow trout. You can also cast a line from the marina. The friendly, helpful service will be sure to help with any adventures you would like to fulfill.
Nestled away in Oregon's Elliott State Forest, Loon Lake Lodge is packed with beauty and adventure. Open April 1 to October 31, you'll find cabins, yurts, RV, and tent sites. The main lodge stay is the Premium Waterfront house. Just an hour from the Oregon coast, these affordable, yet well-appointed stays provide comfort at night and fishing, jet-ski, and boat rentals right on Loon Lake. Services include a full-service deli, a general store, gas station, gift shop, and ice cream stand. The views are stunning.
Tucked alongside the McKenzie River in the Willamette National Forest, this idyllic lodge is reminiscent of Roman gardens, with stone pillars, flowers, walkways, fountains, bridges, and more. It's so luxurious, you'll be surprised at how the lodge rooms and cabins won't break the bank. Two mineral hot spring pools and a regular swimming pool are available. The lodge is open all year round and offers RV and tent camping as well. The lush forest surrounds the whole place and you'll see a million stars at night.
