Clean campsite with a nice layout. The 'outhouse' was very clean for being what it is. A nice place.

This pleasant campground is conveniently located on the Deschutes River, and near to the highways, Sunriver, and not far from Bend. The campground was clean and orderly during our stay.

Campground is pretty rough and rundown. Tables are in rough shape and ours was low to the ground. Lots of road noise although close to the river. And no water, which is noted on the campground description.

The location is centrally located which makes it very convenient to visit many places in the area. There were clean vault toilets and garbage receptacles. It is in close proximity to the river though only a couple of the sites have direct access. The road around the campground is very poor with many deep ruts and holes. There are only 10 sites and the one we had made it very difficult to back up a 22 ft trailer.
