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.

Excellent camp site, even without drinking water. The camp host, Matthew, was extremely helpful and attentive, and takes good care of the site.

Small very peaceful campground. Large sites, some right next to the river. Beautiful area. We saw a lot of wildlife on the river including otters. On our cross state Oregon camping trip this was our favorite campground. Host was excellent.

My son and I have developed a yearly tradition to visit Allen Springs and the Fish Hatchery. A beautiful and peaceful campground. Well-maintained.

One of our favorite spots on the Metolius. Tons of room and beautiful views. One of the things that made our experience extra special this year was having a great camp host, Matthew Allred. He was very friendly, attentive but not at all overbearing, he kept the bathrooms super clean, and was safety minded. This was a welcome change after previous years of no dedicated camp host support. We can’t wait to go back!

We love this campground. River views & a close walk to the Wizard Falls fish hatchery. Metolius River Trial from here can take you on a loop to Lower Bridge and along the opposite side of the river to Wizard Falls, cross back & return to Allen Springs. We also have enjoyed hiking from Wizard Falls to Sugar Springs (west side of the river) or from Wizard Falls to Gorge campground (east side of the river). No running water provided at this campground but we don’t find this to be s problem.

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.
