ABOUT
SUNRIVER RESORT
History
More than 70 years ago, Sunriver Resort was the location of Camp Abbot, where major training exercises were carried out by the Army Corps
of Engineers during World War II.
In 1965, John D. Gray and Donald V. McCallum announced their plan to build a gem among the resorts and hotels in Oregon, and named
the site Sunriver. Their dream was brought to life three years later in 1968 when Sunriver Realty sold its first home site, and the resort and
residential community was unveiled as a place of casual, luxurious comfort.
Today, the resort has become an essential vacation destination in the Pacific Northwest by staying true to its history and memorializing Camp
Abbot’s founder, Colonel Frank S. Besson, by naming its popular event venue “Besson Commons.”
Leadership The Sunriver Resort leadership team consists of the following industry influentials and hospitality veterans:
○○ Tom O’Shea, Managing Director
○○ Libby Nations, Director of Sales and Marketing
○○ Molly Johnson, Senior Marketing Manager
