Allen Springs Campground

It’s a nice little spot, but it wasn’t cleaned up at all. There was absolutely no defensable space and we had to clear a lot of pinecones and pine needles. There was no escaping the pitch with all of the needles. The poor dog was covered. There’s also a walking trail that runs on two sides of this site. There wasn’t a huge amount of traffic, but I imagine it increases with the season.

It would be extremely helpful if there were a sign at the entrance to site 1 and 2 that noted which sites were accessible and that said no outlet. We witnessed two groups with trailers have extreme difficulty backing out on the road. Also, there were many people just looking at the site. Creates a lot more dust with all the autos turning around. We do love the Metolius! Staying at Candle Creek next week!

Very clean and quiet campground on the beautiful Metolius river. We will be back!

I have been camping at these Metolious River campgrounds since I was a little kid.
I have one suggestion - there are very few campsites that offer a view of the river anymore. Please consider cutting some of the foliage down with in the camping sites so that the river view camp sites can actually see the river. The river system seems healthy, removing scrubery and small trees and brush along 1-2% of the river I doubt would harm the Metolious River ecosystem.
We got lucky with Allen Spring's #12,,,,, we could see the river!!

We love the beautiful Metolius and this campground. It was quiet & peaceful this weekend. We enjoyed riverside hikes & exploring the fish hatchery grounds. Lovely June wildflowers & birds too.

I enjoyed the stay.

This was the best campground ever! Loved it. The first two days there was no toilet paper in the one toilet on our end of campground. We figured out where a water spigot was in the camp next door. My suggestion is to put up a poster saying where water is. We brought a lot but ran out. I love this place and will be back next summer for sure!!!

Long walk to site from parking. Large, flat site, could easily fit 2 or 3 tents. Not very private as trail passes on both sides. No water at campground. Bathrooms are very clean.

Vaulted toilets were full and the smell was bad as soon as we got there on a Thursday..no toilet paper for first day and then some appeared. No camp host. Lots of spots where no one showed up and lots of people drove thru wanting them. No camp host to take off reserved signs... This campground is far away from store.
