Campground with a couple large covered areas with grills and many picnic tables. Also a large grassy area for kids to play in. It is set in an idyllic wooded location next to Clay Creek. I would have given 5 stars if the camp sites were a little further apart.

Would be a great campground but Lane County is far behind other Counties in Oregon. They don't keep up on maintenance and close areas that are not maintained. It's ridiculous how they operate. It's our public lands but BLM and USFS treat out lands like they are owned by the agency that controls it. Why should I have to pay $5 to park on Public property ? They've turned this County into a sh¡thole !

Our experience wasn’t great. Though there were respectful campers in the campsite, I didn’t notice any host. That being said, there were a group of “people” who’s music and party lasted till 3am. Loud screaming. And it was incredible how they got away with it. The facilities were very dated and not well kept. But, they have potable water spickets and the things to complete a campground. The water nearby was warm and shallow which is safe for kids. So I would recommend if it’s a last resort kinda thing. 3 stars
