The Allen Spring campground is very comfortable, with picnic tables, fire pit, and plenty of space for each camp site. It's right on the banks of the Metolius with beautiful views of the river and well maintained trails along the banks of the river for hikers and fly fishermen.

Campsites are wonderful. Would be better if bathrooms were cleaned up in a more timely manner and garbage picked up.

Campground was nice, on the river but with minimal access to the water. Sites were private and well maintained. Toilets were well monitored if a little stinky at certain times of day. No water available but you can drive to get water.

The campground was empty! That has. Ever been that way before. I think people were ordered about the fires. I felt bad that so many spots were open. It seems like the system could be better for those that are no-shows so that other could use the spot
We had a wonderful time
Saw eagles skunks and a bear!

We hit heavy smoke the first full day at the campsite. We had to continually check weather reports and ranger updates to keep abreast of wildfire movement. We evacuated our campsite early due to the threat of wildfire. Love to have a refund. May have to cancel plans at Cinder Cone in a couple of weeks because of wildfires. No longer a great summer for camping here in the PNW. But I guess you already got our money, so do you really care?

General
- Please Note: One RV with tow vehicle per single site or one vehicle per tent site. Most sites can accommodate 1 extra vehicle that is not included with the reservation fee. Extra vehicle will be charged a per night fee and collected at the campground.
- Prevent the spread of invasive species by inspecting and cleaning packs, equipment and tires before using trails.
- Fire Restrictions: Fire restrictions may be imposed at any time due to hot, dry weather conditions, at which time campfires and charcoal fires may not be allowed. During your time in Central Oregon, you can find wildfire, prescribed fire and smoke information at centraloregonfire.org
- Reserved Sites will be held until the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of that following day to hold a reservation or the site will be forfeited and released to other guests. Once your reservation start date has begun, neither the Recreation.gov Contact Center nor the campground manager will be able to modify your reservation.
- Refunds: Refund requests made through www.recreation.gov will be charged a $10 processing fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).
- Camping or otherwise occupying a single location (including leaving camping equipment and/or related supplies) for a period longer than 14 consecutive calendar days is prohibited. ‘Location’ means the occupied area, the occupied campsite, and the National Forest System lands in the immediate vicinity thereof. Camping or occupying any location on all National Forest lands for more than 28 calendar days total during a calendar year is prohibited.
- Don't Move Firewood: Please protect Pacific Northwest forests by preventing the spread of invasive species. Firewood can carry insects and diseases that can threaten the health of our western forests. You can make a difference by obtaining and burning your firewood near your camping destination. Visit Dontmovefirewood.org for further information.
