Looking for a spot in or near Bend, OR

I'm trying to find a campground in or near Bend, OR over the July 4th weekend and can't find a single opening. Therefore, we need to find someplace to boondock for three days.

Anyone have any idea where a good spot may be?

    Thanks,

    I must have called at least 20 different parks around the area and they all say it's going to be crazy because of the holiday plus the pre-olympic trials.

    Oh man, no matter where you go, it's going to be busy. If you go east a bit on #20, you'll see Badlands Rock Trailhead...but I think that the crowds will be crippling.
