Allen Springs Campground

I really like it there and enjoyed it, except for some rude people from another space, from a ways away. Also, someone had shoveled a bunch of dirt into the fire pit, so I made no attempt to use it. They were probably covering up something, a mess.

Somehow I got the best site for one night, on my birthday, and my first solo camping trip! Access to river trail, river view, river sounds, spacious, clean site, easy toilet access, even respectful neighbor, friendly camp host.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Allen Springs is one of if not the nicest sites near Camp Sherman. The Metolius River provides such a calming sense of being. Wish there were camp hosts, but not this trip. Also, folks should be aware there is NO running water so bring your own!!

Excellent stay! Clean bathrooms and the sites were well upkept

You guys need to do something about the reservation system. Too many people make reservations and don't show up. Apparently they have the money to do this. If someone doesn't show up the first night the spot should come open to all.

Very poor toilet maintenance.

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?

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!

Beautiful and quiet camp.

Very clean, quiet, and large size campsites.
