Stayed one night in site 7 and one night in site 10. Very quiet, with very little traffic at night. Vault toilet was very clean. Sites were generally large and private. Overall, a great place to camp.
Site 10 (a great site) was better than site 7, in that it had river access, along with a few other sites. Site 7, like other sites which don't border directly on the river, provided no access to the river without walking through some other site, or going under the bridge to the boat ramp on the other side of the road, where river access is not that enjoyable.

Great location for floating the river and gathering with a large group. Can be a little loud right on side of road - but not too bad.

There are only a few sites at this campground and only 2-3 that would fit a camper. The few sites that would fit a camper are really hard to back into and have super tight corners. The sites are overgrown, trash left behind from the previous campers, and overall just not our favorite spot we have been to. We were not brave enough to venture to the bathrooms and only used our camper. We were in site 3 which had the most direct access to the river which was nice. The others said they were river front, but I would not classify them as such. The location is fabulous to quickly get to Sunriver. But, I think next time we would probably stay somewhere else.

It was relaxing to just sit by the river and enjoy the view.

We loved this campground, yes there is road noise, but it’s close to town what do you expect? The bathroom was very clean when we got there. Site 8 was huge, great for kids to run and play and go down to the river if so desired. The driveway has an odd stump in it that made getting in the spot kind of awkward. 24 ft travel trailer. The lower number sites definitely had louder road noise than 8 9 and 10. Will be back
