Tons of places, but I will only address the Bend area.
About 18 miles east of Bend is the East Fort Rock OHV area. You can camp right there in lightly developed campgrounds or dispersion camp and ride for hundreds of miles (on various trails) right from your rig. This is a huge trail system with a variety of trails of various degrees of difficulty, so depending on the age of the children, it may or may not be appropriate for them (people get lost and hurt in there).
About 20 miles west of Bend is the Cascade Lakes Hwy. Too many lakes to count with lots of developed Forest Service campgrounds.
IF you camp up near East Lake, you can both access the trails and go fishing all within close proximity (not without some road travel though).
Have a fun trip,
Steve
