Very nice campground in the Ponderosa Pines 4.5 mi from Sisters, Oregon. The campsites were good size and very well maintained. The campground host was friendly and very helpful. Nice hiking and biking trails are near the campground. There is water available, one hand pump in the campground. We will be back.

We love this place and have been going there for 30 years, too many people know about it now so you have to plan ahead.

Nice off grid campground that is only 4-5 mi from the town of Sisters. Campsites are spaced apart. Wonderful 6 mi round trip hike around Matolius River.

Great camping trip and a great campground. Host was friendly and very busy; camp was clean and since it was in the 90s the shade was a welcome part of our camping experience. We will for sure camp here again.

Started out in site 20 but moved to 17. Site 20 was in close proximity to the latrine and smelled badly. 17 was incredible. We enjoyed our stay. Downsides: latrines were very low to the ground and smelled horrible; picnic tables were also low to the ground and in poor shape.
