Deschutes County Hosts Meeting On Campgrounds

campground

The Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners invites residents to participate in a Community Conversation on Tuesday, July 30, to discuss potential opportunities for recreational campgrounds in the county.

Last year, the Board authorized a Camping Feasibility Study to explore the development of private or public recreational campgrounds within Deschutes County. The study evaluated three areas, including County-owned land at Fort Thompson Lane north of Bend, which will be the focus of the conversation on July 30.

Community members will have an opportunity to learn more about the study findings, as well as participate in one of four, 30-minute group discussions with the Board of County Commissioners.

The Community Conversation is scheduled to occur from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Barnes Sawyer Room of the Deschutes Services Building, 1300 NW Wall St. in Bend. Residents can attend the meeting in person or participate virtually. The meeting agenda and virtual log in information can be found at www.deschutes.org/meetings.

Written comments about the study can be emailed to jen.patterson@deschutes.org.
