Peaceful and beautiful. There were lots of mosquitoes in the evening but they were to be expected during this time. Campers were great and respectful. Felt safe! ❤️

Very pretty. Bathroom was clean and I never had to wait in line despite the full campground (lots of people with their own RV bathrooms). A little closer to the road than I would have liked, but at night the frogs and crickets drown out traffic noise. Also very nice to walk right into the Deschutes, but the trade off there being a lot, I mean a LOT of mosquitoes. As soon as we arrived several were immediately having Thanksgiving dinner on me, right through my clothes. Do not come without citronella and bug spray.

Access to the river is very nice but we didn't take advantage of it as much as we should have. Traffic noise spoiled some of the tranquility.

Site was great, clean and right on the water. However, the bathroom was DISGUSTING and unusable due to hundreds of flies and a toilet that was 3/4 full. We were there 5 days and it was never emptied. Had to cut our trip short.

I am a "local" who lives 6 mi from this site. People ask, "why go camping so close to home?" The answer is this is my HAPPY PLACE! No dishes, no laundry, no problems. It took 3 years to book this stay because of the the pandemic. Not happy with the price or the reservation people but the mgmt (Jess) was very accommodating. He made my stay very comfortable. BIG KUDOS JESS!
