Black Canyon Campground (Willamette National Forest, OR)

well-maintained. spotless toilets. very helpful hosts. beautiful river with ez access, though the current is very strong. Site was shady, well-spaced and private. However, the train tracks are just across the river. I counted 6 trains during the night, and they were long, really really loud, plus the whistle. So that's on one side and Hiway 58 is on the other. But If you don't mind those noises, it's a very nice campground.

Very beautiful and well-kept campsites! The campsite we were at was very private and still within reasonable walking distance to the bathroom. (Also the cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever seen!) We will definitely be returning.

Big sites with lots of vegetation. Some sites on the river.

Such a pretty, quiet campsite! And probably the cleanest, best-smelling pit toilets we have experienced. The river was easily accessible. A lovely stay.

The location was very beautiful just offset from the road and the outhouse was at a very convenient location. We enjoyed the privacy and simplicity of the site.

Great river access. Was only 1/3 full on a Sunday before Independence Day. Most sites are FCFS. Clean pit toilets, clean campground. You can get 2 bars on AT&T if you wade into the middle of the river. Friendly hosts. Some road and train noise. Trains do not use their whistle nearby so it's barely noticeable at night. Some folks with generators but mostly off by 10pm. Weird donkey ghost across the highway that glowed in the moonlight and told me to visit Portugal even though I don't have a passport. Conveniently located garbage cans. Fresh water taps located throughout the campground.
