context_page_description: Camp Abbot was a military training center in the northwest United States, located in central Oregon south of Bend. Active for less than sixteen months, the U.S. Army camp was used to train combat engineers during World War II and was named for Henry Larcom Abbot.
  A large part of site is now Sunriver Resort, and the rest has been incorporated into the Deschutes National Forest. The only remaining structure from Camp Abbot is the officers' mess hall; now part of the resort and known as the Great Hall, it is used for large conferences and special events.
context_section_description: In the years following the war, a portion of the camp property was returned to the U.S. Forest Service, but approximately 3,800 acres (6 sq mi; 15 km²) were sold as private land.  That property changed hands a number of times, until it was purchased by John Grey in 1965.  Grey began development of Sunriver Resort, selling the first residential lots in 1968.
  Today, Sunriver is a luxury resort with a 250-room lodge, three golf courses, six restaurants, and an executive airport.  There are approximately 4,000 homes on the adjacent Sunriver property along with a small commercial district that supports the shopping needs of the community. Alpine skiing is nearby at Mount Bachelor.
