About Allen Springs Campground
Like the other campgrounds on the Metolius, Allen Springs is located amongst towering Ponderosa Pines, on a turn of the Metolius River that broadens the river view. Most of the campsites are better suited to tents rather than RV's.

Overall this is a beautiful and well maintained campground. Being right along the lovely Metolius listening to the water at night makes this a great pick. The stars were also super bright. Be aware that the river trail does go through the campsites along the river. This does make it convenient to hike along the beautiful trail. Recommend heading down a bit to the nearby fish hatchery. Campsite 8 is very close with no separation to campsite 7, which was great for us and our friendly neighbors, but some campsites have a bit more privacy. The vault toilets were clean.

Really beautiful campsite , #14.
People walking through the campsite on the trail .
Pit toilet near campsite a tad stinky.
When full the campsites did not offer much privacy.

If I say how great a campground Allen Springs is, then even more people will book here, and then it will be harder than ever to reserve a site, so I’m gonna just keep quiet!!

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.
