Belknap Hot springs on the Mckenzie river is a great place especially in the summer. There are several miles of very easy hiking trails interlaced with wonderful gardens and lots of beautiful flowers in bloom. There are basically three RV sections. water/electric sites near the lodge and back on the river. Up above around the meadow there are some sites, and then interspersed near the cabins are some decent full hookup sites. Have not stayed for several years, but it is a place we have enjoyed for a long time. They do also offer cabins and rooms in the lodge. Two pools both naturally heated. Within a couple miles drive are some small walk in hot springs that can be enjoyed. There is also just a few miles up the river a really pretty waterfall and more hiking trails.
Also just a few miles away is the west entrance of the OLD McKenzie highway. It is really twisty and no trailers are allowed. But up on top in the middle of the lava field there is a short walk to a lookout with signs pointing to all of the mountains that can be seen. A short drive further is the town of Sisters (ice cream). From here you can head back toward Salem and take the McKenzie cutoff past the head waters of the McKenzie river and down the hill back to Belknap. This is a easy day trip so don't let it bother you about the distances.
