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.

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!!

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!

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.

The campground is incredibly beautiful but the maintenance is terrible. The roads are full if potholes, the new maintenance company is not taking care to keep the toilets clean and there is no longer a camp host. DOGE?

The campsite on the Metolius is the most beautiful on this earth. I have been camping there for over 60 years. Unfortunately it is not taken care of like it was in the past. The tables are rotting in place. We have used our campfire wood to brace them in place to keep from injuring ourselves and the fire pits are not cleaned. It’s inexcusable!

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.
