Deschutes River Camps & Food

Navigation

The best way to fly fish the Lower Deschutes River is to take a three or four day camping float trip with River Runner Outfitters. This trip covers 25 to 45 miles of the Deschutes River, positioning you to experience less pressured water, where trout grow larger and numbers of fish are better. All camps and meals are completely catered, and camping equipment is provided.

Main Dining Area

When you pull into camp after a day on the river, you are greeted by the warm glow of our heated steel framed wall tent. A hand washing station with warm water is provided. Meals are served in the wall tent, which will serve as a gathering place at camp. Hot appetizers and beverages are ready. Peel off your waders, wash up, and join us in the wall tent for great food and conversation. During the spring and fall, when fire restrictions are not in effect, a campfire is built. Nothing beats the experience of a campfire for bonding with freinds and family.

Camp Cuisine

Meals are prepared by our house chef, featuring local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients from the Pacific Northwest. Dinners include house cut steaks, grilled troll caught chinook salmon, seasonal salads and vegetables, rosemary red potatoes, portabella risotto, garden pesto penne pasta, and more. We encourage you to bring any wine you may want for the trip. Breakfasts may include stuffed french toast, Deschutes scramble (eggs, bacon, onions, peppers, potatoes), hot cakes, breakfast burritos, fresh fruit, and a variety home made breads and treats. Top shelf coffee is always ready for early risers.

Guest Quarters

Your tent will be set up upon arriving at camp each evening. Guests sleep two per tent. We use tents that are six feet tall, sturdy, and well ventilated. Each tent will have two cots, each topped with a self inflating pad for warmth and comfort. A battery powered LED lantern will provide interior lighting. A rainfly will keep you completely dry during rainy weather. During the warm summer months the rainfly is easily unclipped, revealing a mesh screen ceiling and a star filled sky. The sound of the river nearby while you spot shooting stars is a nice way to end the day.

Your comfort and satisfaction is our only goal. Special requests are welcome and encouraged.
