Plush is a rural town located in southern Oregon approximately 50 miles from the borders of California and Nevada. Although there are no RV parks in Plush itself, the surrounding Valley Falls and Lakeview areas host numerous RV parks. In an area known as the "Oregon Outback," natural hot springs, expansive views and a variety of outdoor activities characterize these lesser-known RV park resorts. - Situated in the "Oregon Outback" on the shores of unspoiled Summer Lake, Summer Lake Hot Springs defines itself as a "healing retreat" due to the hot springs located on the lake's south end. For a low rate, the resort's RV sites include water, sewer services and 20 or 50 amps of electricity, as well as access to the bathhouse, laundry facilities and an outdoor rock pool. In addition to full RV hookup sites and campgrounds, Summer Lake's 145-acre resort offers guest houses, cabins, ponds and nature trails, plus occasional creative, spiritual and environmental workshops. Summer Lake Hot Springs takes efforts to preserve the environment and participates in recycling and green energy initiatives. Make reservations online or over the phone.
