I ll start with the disclaimer that we stayed at Crown Villa during some of their less popular (colder) months and were able to pay their reasonable monthly rate plus electric. While this is the nicest private campground we ve ever stayed in, we have never paid daily rates equal to what are charged here. This resort (they live up the title more than anywhere we ve stayed) offers many amenities that we don t usually and didn t make use of, but I can imagine that for other campers, they might make the higher nightly cost acceptable.
CV offers huge, paved, level FHU sites, and each includes curb side trash and recycling along with propane filling (their prices are very fair & less than I normally see when offered at a CG). We had more than enough room for our RV with garage access and a designated spot for our truck. Each site also includes a covered storage shed and patio chair/table set. The mature greenery is beautiful throughout, and while there isn t much shrubbery/trees between sites, the sites are spaced far enough apart that camping feels somewhat private. Wifi is available, and while it worked okay, our Verizon was great without the booster.
The CG offers tennis courts (including sports equipment), hot tub, small gym, large laundry, a few common areas (in and outdoor), and bath/shower facilities. There is a large dog run and plenty of space for walking pets around camp. The office staff couldn t be nicer or more accommodating, and they did their best to keep things available and safe during COVID with sign-ups for the gym and hot tub and masks indoors. They also allow package/mail deliveries, repair services, and RV washing.
The location is convenient for reaching Bend and the surrounding areas (driving, not walking). All of Bend including the neighborhoods surrounding this CG are expanding rapidly, so while the noise from construction and nearby roads was fairly consistent during the day, it was mostly absent in the evenings/at night. We occupied two different sites during our stay and that did have an effect on ambient noise (more traffic and construction), and oddly, our second site/row consistently saw less attention from staff for trash pick-up and overall grounds care. So while our overall experience was great, I can see where experiences may vary. In all we had a great stay at Crown Villa and would definitely stay here again if the monthly rate continues to be available.
