Sunriver, Oregon is a census-designated place and 3,300-acre (1,300 ha) planned residential and resort community in Deschutes County, Oregon, United States. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 1,393.[1] It is part of the Bend, Oregon Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is located on the eastern side of the Deschutes River about 15 miles (24 km) south of Bend at the base of the Cascade Range.

Sunriver consists of residential homesites and common areas, recreational facilities, the Sunriver Resort and a commercial development known as The Village at Sunriver.

The Sunriver Resort Lodge has hotel rooms, banquet facilities, a fine dining restaurant, and other amenities. Sunriver Resort manages four golf courses. Two are public (Meadows and Woodlands) and two are private (Caldera and Crosswater, available to guests staying at the resort).[2] Sunriver also features the SHARC (Sunriver Homeowners Aquatic and Recreation Center), completed in 2012.

History

Sunriver is located on the grounds of the former Camp Abbot, a World War II training facility designed to train combat engineers in a simulated combat environment. The U.S. Army camp opened in 1942, but by June 1944 the camp was abandoned and most of the settlement was razed.[3]

The Officers' Club was spared and has been preserved and renovated and is now known as the "Great Hall", under management of Sunriver Resort. The name "Sunriver" was selected by developers John Gray and Donald V. McCallum. The initial condominiums were built in 1968 in conjunction with the completion of Sunriver Lodge, and in 1969 the master plan was completed and developers began selling lots.[4][5]

Sunriver was also the site of the pioneer Shonquest Ranch.[6] Sunriver post office was established on July 18, 1969, at the same time the public facilities were opened.[6]

Climate

This region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers, with no average monthly temperatures above 71.6 °F (22.0 °C). According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Sunriver has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.[7]
