It was a very nice campsite, conveniently located. We made short day trips to surrounding towns, lakes, hatchery and Camp Sherman cute general store. The sites were spacious, cleared out and shaded.

Best campsite caretaker ever.
Side note: the size 14 thread Frenchie was getting it done on the river.

Camping under the trees by the Metolius is one of the most enjoyable ways to spend a summer weekend in Oregon.

Beautiful campground along the Metolius River. No water onsite except the river. Hiking trail on both sides of the river for many miles. Quiet campground.

A beautiful campground. Lots of fishermen on the river. Hiking trail is right through the campsite, but everyone was respectful and mellow when we were there midweek. HIghly recommended!

Site was large with plenty of space from the adjacent sites. Also had direct river access and a beautiful view.
Unfortunately a trail runs directly through the site so hikers frequently walked through. When we checked it, it seems the trail actually ends at the campground but continues as an access trail to connect camp sites, but the hikers continued on anyway. It was frustrating having 30 or so strangers walk through the middle of our site all day, when we came for some seclusion and an escape from people (especially because people naturally feel the need to talk as they walk through, ask about our day, etc, which is fine and polite, except again, it was over 30 people and from 8am until 6pm, and we wanted to be left alone)

Either use a larger volume trash dumpster or have more frequent trash pickup. Trash over flowing during our two week stay. Fire pits are not maintained as we found ash and burned wood debris in shallow part of Metolius river, probably dumped by a camper that cleaned excessive ash buildup from the fire pit. The camp host was congenial but indicated he was managing four other camp sites. Pit toilets were almost overflowing but were finally pumped out a few days before we left. We have been camping at Allen Springs for 30 years and love the areas natural beauty. Hope CLM will take more interest in managing this the Metolius river camp sites.
