Someone was in my reserved space. By the time someone came and told them it was my space, they were there 20 hours into my time of two days. Where I had to park, people were very loud. Dogs were running loose and nothing was done about that. There was no camp host.

Allen Springs is a beautiful campground and we had a lovely time. The campground host was very nice and allowed us to switch sites because there was no shade in ours (site 08). However, the second night that we were there, the camp host disappeared in the early afternoon and didn’t come back. The women next to us got drunk, made a huge fire and were at high volume until 11pm. I tried asking them to be quiet and it just made things worse. I wish he would have stayed. We love this campground. A bald eagle landed across the river from us, and deer walked through our site. There are also very friendly chipmunks!

campsite was super nice under 2 massive douglas firs. it rained the first day but out tent and my daughter and i stayed dry under the massive trees. The river was so close we could hear it as we slept. Mountain bike riding at suttle lake was all time. The lake is beautiful. We also went into bend to go white water rafting in the Deschutes river. I love the central Oregon part almost better than the surf at seaside with the crab. Love that site. be back soon.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The facilties are clean, and there were no generators. Restoring the water service to those faucets would be nice!

The campground is clean and quiet. Pit toilet is well maintained.
Matthew, the camp host, was awesome! Friendly and very informative, especially about fishing the river.

- 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.

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.
