The campground was very clean. I liked being on the Deschutes river. Very quiet respectful campers. The bathroom was clean too

A beautiful campground but very disappointed with the campground host. Everyone in the campground seemed to follow the routine of the sun - that of going to bed when it gets dark at 7:30pm. The difficult part of going to bed between 8-10pm in order to get a good night's rest before long days of exploring the beautiful area - was the loud disturbing noise of the campground host's generator loudly blasting throughout the whole campsite until we could finally get peaceful rest at 10pm. I realize quiet hours only start at 10pm but the fact that the host was the only one disturbing the peace seemed ridiculous and rude. Would only come back to stay if there was a different/quieter host

It is as advertised. It’s a small campground with a pit toilet (nicely clean), no water and beside a road. It was a place to spend the night on the way elsewhere.

Good campsite but only have 10 sites. Very small campground and no hookups. We were very happy with the location. Only suggestion would be to have trash pick up more often. Trash containers were overflowing.
