Great experience for us all."
While some guests noted the lack of underbrush between sites, they appreciated the overall privacy and beauty of the location. Another visitor mentioned, "More privacy than Camp Sherman CG, but lacking a bit in under brush with many sites. Roomy tent spots and pull through parking. Beautiful spots on the river, but expect hikers passing through your site along the river trail. Summer homes also view the camp sites from across the river."

Amazing! Clean and safe campground, nicely spaced, with restrooms and water, as well as being next to a river. Fly fishing is allowed there. Camp host was polite and very helpful, as well as friendly! Great experience for us all. (Photos of river and forest, sorry no photos of actual campsites.) Camp sites are adequate for a camp trailer and 3 tents ⛺.

Wonderful little camping spot. Beautiful river. Volt toilets. Usually pretty booked. Camp host Nancy has been awesome. Definitely will be back
Large, beautiful campsites with many of them being next to the Metolius River. Three bathrooms and a Camp Host on site.
Nice quiet place to camp. But, the vault toilet was full nearly to the seat and the garbage was overflowing.
Nancy running the camp is an absolute gem. We came looking for a campsite later at night and she was nothing but friendly, accommodating and an absolute sweetheart. She made everything so easy and seem less, don’t sleep on Nancy! The campsite was beautiful and incredibly clean, along with the bathrooms, we are super thankful!! Definitely would stay again, as long as someone as awesome as Nancy is running the joint.
