Orland Buttes

Quiet, one-night stay in Site 17, which was not quite level, but didn't require blocks for our 23' RV. Great view overlooking Black Butte Lake. Birds, including raptors, seen in abundance. Bathroom (with shower) could have been cleaner.

Super friendly staff

Numbering of tent sites were very confusing for Site 15 (required another camper and a campground cleaning staff's consorted efforts to help me finally find this tent site). It was very small and jammed closely next to other sites. Locations of water spigots were not very convenient. But, basically it was an OK camp site. I enjoyed the surrounding grassy hills and lake views away from the campground.

Cleaning of Restrooms very basic - not really a cleaning.
No host at site from wednesday to Saturday

My wife and I stayed at site #26. It was reasonably flat, but the front right corner was low by 4 inches. Our site, plus #18, 25, 28, 30 seemed pretty level. The others - not so much if you have an RV. Our site was in the sun, which was great for us as we have solar panels. The good part was that if you wanted shade, it was in the area with the picnic table and the fire ring. So you get the best of both worlds. The site had a nice view of the lake. The campsite only had 5 or so other groups, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Predicting the wind was tricky. Some days it was windy in the morning and calm in the afternoon, and other days it was the opposite. The wind wasn't horrible, but going against the wind in a kayak could be a chore. The hike to the old bridge was about 2 miles round trip with only one hill. My wife HATES hills, and she managed it just fine. The bathrooms were clean, and there was drinking water available. We didn't use the showers. We didn't use the RV dump either as it didn't look level so it would leave stuff in the tank. We dumped at the Pilot right before I-5. We will definitely be back, but probably in the Fall as summer temperatures will be pretty high.
