It was the first time staying there. Just for one night. We really liked #78 under tall trees and it was very quiet because it was Tue-Wed. Clean bathroom and clean site. The camp hosts were kind to explain the access to Row river trail. I'd like to use this place again but wonder if the situation would be same on weekends...? It'll be depends on how campers will be respectful each other... It'll be quite popular on weekends in summer for sure. We enjoyed the Rail to trail bike path. One pleasant stay. Thanks a lot.

I didn’t care for some of the RV crowd running generators at 10:00 pm. Not sure what the time limit is , but seems like that’s too late.
Nice park. Clean with nice amenities.

Place was nice overall, but the bathrooms and showers were absolutely disgusting. There was no way you can convince me that place is cleaned daily.

All my camping bags were stolen while we were swimming and a large group of girls came and took over the bathrooms. Maybe build another restroom. With all the security that drove thru maybe add some in the early evening so theft is not as easy. When the theft did happen i should have been refunded my money.

Loved our time here. Was thankful for the river and a site with shade (although a branch broke off a tree and could’ve caused issue).

A great place to visit. Beautiful,open, with roomy sites along the river with the lake and trials near by, The bike trail from Cottage Grove extending along Doreena Lake and beyond is incredible. A perfect mid Oregon stopping point.

Hot weekend and water level was low, so limited on water play which this site usually has. Love all the trees around and quiet atmosphere.
