This is a small campground. Only 5 spots. But, they are next to an amazing swimming hole. The camp itself is pretty primitive but if you're an outdoorsy type you're going to love it.

This is one of my very favorite campgrounds!!! I started camping here decades ago when ot was free to camp there! It's not free anymore, but it's still a nice spot to camp. Offers good fishing, great swimming, great camping as there are only 5 campsites, 3 on one side of the road and 2 on the other. The small amount of campspots makes it a jewel for campers who dont want to be over-run by other campers, or are in a tiny slot of a camping space, with people right next to you with no privacy. These spots offer enough room in between where you have the feeling of privacy and room to BREATHE!!! It's one of the closest "on the river" camping spots to Eugene/Springfield. I've spent many years and many camping trips right here at Dolly Varden. It's a great place to go camping or just for a drive on a day road-trip ride with a picnic lunch. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. The missing star is only for the management company that services the campgrounds, they could do a little better JOB at their JOB...other than that I would give it 5 stars!!! Happy camping!!! 🏕

Always a great camp area! The spots to the left are very nice. 3 in a row. Right next to calm water in the forest. Lots of sun and shade . Although not allowed, its fun to watch families/youngsters jump off the bridge. The 3 spots on the right are nice too but harder to get to the water but not terrible at all. I live camping here.
