This place sucked! Mosquitos everywhere, all day long! No water available. Dirt road to drive into campground. Only one outhouse restroom for the 11 or so campsites. Never seen so many people not show up for their reservations or leave early because of the mosquitos. Would not stay here again. We did like twin lakes campground nearby, soooo much better.

This place it's a jewel! Very quiet and beautiful, I enjoyed the river, the only thing it's that I reserved my spot with one month of anticipation and when I came there were some guys that made "a mistake in their reservation" and wanted to give me $30 to share the place, it was anoying for me because I was tired of traveling and wanted just enjoy but eventually they went and I can have and amazing camping! Love it!

I love this place! A beautiful location in a perfect setting having the Deschutes river wrap around the campground. As other reviewers have mentioned there is no water here (except for the river wrapping around the campground). They take reservations now which spoils it a bit for me but floating around the bull bend on my floatie makes all my worries wash away.

The road in is dusty and rough, but can be traversed in an RV if you go slow. A rustic campground in a beautiful bend of the Deschutes, with large brown trout reportedly "right there" in the river (I haven't fished it). No water on-site and no RV dump, so come with a full fresh-water tank and empty holding tanks. $10 per night, half off for America The Beautiful Pass holders. Quiet except for traffic on the road across the river. No lights anywhere so night skies are very dark and the stars are crisp.
