The campsites are spaced out nicely. Bathrooms are clean. River is fun to swim in. Biggest issue is the train that goes past. It’s very loud and happens throughout the night. If train noise doesn’t bother you, you’ll have a nice time.

The campground is close to the highway and active railroad tracks, but the campground is still worth visiting. Our RV is a 30 foot fifth wheel, and that was a tight squeeze through the one-way loop. The river is easy to get to. The camp host was very friendly, and the bathrooms were very clean.

Campsites were clean. The pit toilet was cleaned regularly. Easy access to the river. There were many campers there with kayaks or mountain bikes. We used it as a staging site to drive to Crater Lake which is about 2 hours away.

We discovered Black Canyon Campground in 2017, when it became our home for 3 nights during the Great American Solar Eclipse. We were happy then and we were happy now!

Black Canyon Campground is an excellent place to relax in the forest, with biking for the kids, fishing on the Willamette River just steps away, and hiking on the wonderful Nature Trail. The hosts are always helpful (the first time around, our car battery died and the host came to give us a jump start).

The 2nd time around, were were in a rental RV, and though the camp doesn't have water or electrical hookups, it has an excellent pull-through spot, #3, which we were able to get.
