we might have had a good time had we been able to find the place, but it seems to be completely unsignposted and our phone navigation could not locate it. Went to Crane Prairie instead and had a good time there - but haven't managed to get a refund as yet on my Sheep Bridge booking.....

The pricing between Deschutes recreation and recreation.gov is different for space number two. If I reserve the space on rec.gov I cannot use my pass and therefore spend twice as much. If I don’t reserve and just show up and pay I DO get to use my pass. Tell me why it is different please.
