Why is Bend so popular for camper vans and van lifers? It’s an outdoor haven for dispersed campers and boondocking enthusiasts who love life on the road and camping away from it all. It’s home to the Descend on Bend nomad gathering in the summer, and the city is a camper van epicenter. Bend has grown from a lumber town into an outdoor mecca over the years and is a perfect area for exploring in a camper van rental. The city is nestled between the Cascade Mountains and the high desert plateaus of eastern Oregon. In Bend, you can experience the convenience of city life with outdoor escapes in every direction. This scenic mountain town offers some of the best adventure activities in Oregon. River rafting, mountain biking, hiking, and winter snowboarding or skiing at world-class resorts are just a few examples of things to do around Bend. Bend’s campgrounds and RV parks are a great alternative to staying indoors and are of course the perfect place to park your camper van and enjoy camping beneath the night sky. Options range from dispersed camping in Bend's national forests to full amenity hookups for your camper van if you prefer more creature comforts. Be sure to check out Deschutes National Forest while you're in the area. With access to bird watching, mountain biking, sightseeing, hiking, and fishing, it'll be hard to run out of things to do here.
