This campground is very beautifully located along the Metolius River. Hiking along the River is easily accessible. Although it is a dry campground, there is a pit-toilet. Also, the campfire in the fire pit was awesome.

What a lovely location this campground is in the US National Forest. Located along the Metolius River, this campground provides a scenic view from nearly every site.

I like the campground and the area, but the vault toilet was quite odoriferous to say the least. I could not stay in that space because of it.

Toilet was stinking, but I like the campground. The tent campers were a bit loud. The space was fine for me, downhill. The people trooping through on the trail didn't bother too much. Great area.

Allen Springs in September was beautiful and we loved it in this early fall season. Hiked along the river trail in the warm afternoons, and enjoyed being on the banks of the Metolius as always. Folks at the Camp Sherman store were friendly and the coffee & pastry were delicious.

Filthy bathrooms and poor layout of the campground...some sites way too close where others have vast room. Lots of sites need to be properly maintained.
