I’ve been going to camp at Sand Prairie since I was a toddler. This is the perfect place to get away to for a long weekend, or for a few open days in summer. The atmosphere is great and not once have I had a bad experience in the area. Would recommend for anyone, families or single folk, who aren’t afraid of going without a shower for a few days and taking in beautiful central Oregonian views.
