If crippling self doubt is the issue, then the TT zone pass is the ideal option for you. For $500 or so you can get over two hundred days of plush camping taken care of, and the maximum downside of not using it is the $500 you paid.
In Bend you are 20 minutes north of a nice TT park and two hours east of a magnificent one. You also have the option of parking in the Bachelor main lot for $15/night, no services but nice $5 showers.
And the eastern side of the Oregon cascades is littered with really nice sno-parks that you can overnight in. So all I'm saying is if you're still in the Bend area, stay in the Bend area until you get your confidence back. It is remarkably plush around there.
I realize this is a Boondocking Forum but a lot of the time boondocking is just a grind. I found that the TT pass made for a nice soft option, particularly in the winter.
