We love this place! The campsites are well spaced out, the river is close and beautiful and there is a great trail that you can take from either direction from the campground.

Very quiet location, with a few sites with nice views of the Metolius River. Easy access to the trail alongside the river. Friendly, helpful campground host.

First time at Gorge Campground after walking through it for years on the Metolius River trail. Quiet and so close to the river.
Best smelling outhouses! Thanks to the campground host.

We had a nice time camping at the Gorge, sites are clean, the camp bathroom was clean and kept stocked. The bathroom gets 5/5 stars. I gave this review 4 stars because the camp host had a party and the language was horrific. We brought our granddaughter and she didn’t need that.( they did quiet down around 10 pm) Beyond that it was a great time! Bi-Mart has firewood for 5.00 a bundle or the camp store has the same for 10.00 per.

Great campground!
Our camp host, Andi, was excellent. She was professional, helpful and kind. The bathrooms and sites were very clean, and the reserved/open signs on the sites were kept up to date, which is really helpful.
Wonderful experience…
