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.

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

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.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

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.

Always one of our favorites for over 20 years, even without water (fish hatchery and Camp Sherman store are not that far away). Lovely to see the fall colors along the river! Chilly weather at night, mildly warm during the day for our 6-mile round-trip walk to Lower Bridge, then up to the fish hatchery and back to Allen Springs. Very nice the the fire-ban was modified to allow campfires in areas that have the fire rings.

Lovely, peaceful, clean, spread-out campground alongside the clear consistent Metolius River. The ONLY drawback is no water at the campground.

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.
