Nice campground clean facilities super nice hosts. Unfortunately ODF&W don't think stocking the river for the average angler is a worth while use of sky rocketing licence fee so fishing is non existent and such a pretty stream.

The campground hosts were wonderful. The toilet facilities were spotless. My only issue with the whole area is that there are no first come first served sites available as there has been in the past. Our neighboring site had a travel trailer but no one was there for 4 nights. My suspicion is that people now rent the sites move in and then setup for various family members to come and go as they please.

We were lucky to camp at the far end of the campground down by the river. What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the area. The hiking trail was immediately outside of our camp and it was amazing. I will go back there any chance I get!!!

Camp Sherman is a hidden gem along the Metolius River. Gorge Campground is one of the furthest from the Camp Sherman Store (3 mi). Facilities were cleaned daily and Camp Host was friendly. Enjoy the sounds of the river at night and fly fishing during the day. Bring Waders!!

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

Check out time

12PM

  • Reserved sites must be occupied by checkout time the day after arrival to avoid forfeiture of the reservation.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Utilities

  • Campers must bring their own water supply as there is no water facility available.

Wildlife & food storage
