It's everything you can expect from a central Oregon campground, it's easy to see why reservations are a must for a summer weekend spot. What made my latest visit so amazing (your experience may differ) was a weasel chased a chipmunk though my campsite and right over my sleeping dog in the middle of the day. Thought it was a squirrel at first, but after watching it watching me from up a tree for a second, twern't no squirrel at all! (See pic)

Nice campground. Only problem They need to empty the vaults more often!!!!!!! Otherwise, There are chemicals you can put in the vault to neutalize the discusting smell that waffs around the grounds. Also, the camp host should let others know before their septic is emptied. This ruins others desire for a meal.

Great camping spots along the river with plenty of space between sites. There is running water and the pit toilets are clean. Hiking trails are easily accessible from the end of the loop road.
